Simon’s Big Payday

“American Idol” judge Simon Cowell will have the opportunity to sharpen his tongue on another season of contestants—and be paid very well for it.

The NY Daily News reports the acerbic Brit is getting a whopping raise for his services, up from $36 million last season to $144 million for the next. 

So at least one more batch of “Idol” hopefuls will get their hopes dashed by Cowell, while Randy mutters “Dawg,” and Paula looks loopy. Isn’t that what keeps us watching?
