Is Simon worth $100 million????

He works hard for the money…
Just when you thought you were in a “Simon-Free” Zone…
The New York Post this week reported that Simon Cowell, in the renegotiating stage of his American Idol contract following the 2010 season, has been offered between $100 million and $144 million per year.
The figures came from London’s, The Guardian.
A source said Cowell has already been offered three to four times the $36 million he was paid for American Idol in 2008.
Honestly, I could wear T-shirts, get a basic flat-top hairdo, make light of Paula Abdul, roll my eyes and tell contestants that their effort was “atrocious rubbish.”
Of course, it would all come out in a slight Southern accent rather than British, but I’d probably agree to sign on for oh, $1 million per year.
And even I could recognize the talent of David Cook or Adam Lambert or Kris Allen or David Archuleta.
But no bad advice is worth that much. If he was arrogant before, this is REALLY going to go to his head. I feel for the Season 9 newbies. Run for the hills! Should we make him come out in his version of a bikini this year?

That sure seems like an exorbitant amount of money. I think he was already being overpaid to begin with.
