Rumor has it Paula Abdul has made it official: she will NOT be returning to FOX’s top-rated talent show American Idol.

Sources say producers wanted Abdul to return in a smaller capacity than she was accustomed to – and she refused.

On the other hand, Perez Hilton reports that Abdul will definitely return, but at a lesser pay scale than desired.

Geez/Louise! At this point I’m beginning to wonder if even Paula knows what she’s going to do. And does anyone really care?

Stay tuned. There’s bound to be more as the season hasn’t yet begun.

Since his imminent fame after winning a staggering eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, Michael Phelps has been making appearances everywhere from London, to Frosted Flakes boxes, and every other advertisement on TV. What hasn’t Michael Phelps been up to since the Olympics?

He’s replacing Tony the Tiger on Frosted Flakes cereal boxes. He’s destroying computers at the ESPN office in their new ad. He’s the golden boy of Visa. He’s partying in Vegas.  He’s sitting in box seats at the Steelers Browns game. And he’s getting great ratings for SNL.

According to Davie Brown Entertainment, an LA-based talent agency that compiles a celebrity endorsement index, Phelps is now the number one sought-after celebrity beating out basketball legend Michael Jordan for the top spot.

It is said 95% of American consumers now recognize Phelps—an upgrade from 33% prior to the Olympics. As Perez Hilton commented yesterday, Phelps has the Midas touch.
