Can you say Greedy?

Paula Abdul isn't returning to Americal Idol Awww, so sorry. Eh, not so much, actually. I think it is downright GREEDY to say that $20 Million isn't enough! TWENTY-MILLION DOLLARS!!! Ryan Seacrest just got a deal for $45 MILLION!!! SERIOUSLY! Do you know that like ONE MILLION dollars is a HUGE amount of money, which most of us will not see in a LIFETIME!

And these celebs are BITCHING that they're ONLY getting $20 MILLION! Poor you! Let me get my violin!

And "with sadness is my heart," please Paula...people going into fitness clubs and shooting innocent people is sad...you leaving American Idol, not that sad.

I agree that Ryan Seacrest should not be getting $45 Million, I've never understood why that man is EVERYWHERE! Yes, he's a good host, but not $45 million dollars worth good. And I agree, why SHOULD a man get more than a woman on the show? On any show, in any job--ANYWHERE! (Unless of course, they are genuinely better at the job)! They shouldn't. Men shouldn't make more than women and women shouldn't make more than men--period--at the very least, pay should not be based on gender.

I am proud to say that the ONLY season (of American Idol) that I got sucked into was Season 7, when David Cook won. But before that, and since then, I haven't watched.

I'm sure Paula is a genuine person, I can't judge her personality. I respect her for standing up for what she believes in, and backing down from something that she sees unfair. But really, I still believe this comes down to greed.

What I can say is this: if ALL of these CELEBRITIES didn't make $20--$100 MILLION for relatively EASY work....this country wouldn't be in debt!

We could FEED (almost) EVERYONE, clothe everyone and probably find them homes and decent health care too! The majority of America is up to their butt in debt, foreclosed homes, no homes and/or little or no health care. And even if we are fortunate enough to have homes/health care--we're coupon clipping and penny pinching until our fingers are bleeding.

It just makes me sick...seriously, $20 Million wasn't enough?!

The COUNTRIES and cities that could be fed, housed and nursed back to health with that amount of money is astounding! My Lord!

And no, I'm not jealous.I don't want $20 million. Truth be told, if it was handed to me, I don't think I'd say no. But, I do know that it honestly would not make me any more and less happy than I am today. Money does not buy happiness and countless celebrities will tell you that.

And besides, I wouldn't even know what to do with that amount of money--$20 million. My gosh!

I just think it's ridiculous and disgusting that most of Americans are working our butts off, some people 2 and 3 jobs, loosing their homes, worrying about heating/eating at the same time and end up having nothing left over to retire on because of other people's greed! Shame, shame, shame!

Nurses, firefighters and teachers....THOSE are the people that deserve the triple digit, million dollar salaries. Hosting a show, yeah, $20 million should be MORE than plenty!

Did I ever tell you that went to Hollywood once? I was there an hour and wanted a drink, (as in, pass me the rum) and I don't even drink! Now, I know why! Most messed up town I've ever been too! Sheesh!

God Bless & God HELP us all!
