Negotiations between Paula Abdul and the producers of American Idol broke down this afternoon, and Adbul shared the news that she won’t be return to Idol this year on Twitter.

Abdul wrote on Twitter over three tweets: “With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent,but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me.”

Adbul leaving the show came down to money: she wanted more than the producers we willing to give. She doesn’t mention this though on Twitter, going on to say of her fan support: “It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month. I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.”

The news of Adbul leaving the show follows word earlier today that 4th judge Kara DioGuardi had signed on for another year. Show creator Simon Fuller said in a statement that “We are so happy to welcome back Kara for her second season with Idol. She is a breath of fresh air, and her passion for music and her understanding of talent is invaluable. This show is all about discovering new talent, and Kara’s championing of Adam Lambert is proof positive of her great instinct.”

David Sonenberg, Paula’s manager, is reported to have told The Times that despite Paula wanting to return to the show there has been no new contract offered to her by Idol producers FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment.

“Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on ‘Idol’,” Sonenbe said in a statement. “I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful. I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do.”

Co-host Randy Jackson is on contract until 2011, Simon Cowell has one year left on his contract, and Ryan Seacrest is reported to have signed a new contract for a staggering $45 million. The show recruited new judge Kara DioGuardi last season, and after a year of four judges the rumor mill has strongly speculated that one would go. A similar attempt to use four judges on the Australian version of the show “Australia Idol” resulted in a cut to three after one season in 2007.

Was Paula Abdul Lip-Syncing on American Idol? The internets are abuzz about tonight’s (Wednesday May 6th) episode of American Idol where Paula Abdul debuted her new single, “I’m Just Here for the Music.”

Yes, Paula Abdul can still dance and she looks great but what’s up with her singing? It was “OK” but that’s about it and to top it off, she was definitely lip-syncing the song.

Paula Abdul’s AI performance makes Britney’s lip syncing look authentic (didnt watch but sounds as bad as expected.)

Idol was good tonight, although I could have done without the Paula Abdul lip synch. Really now, a pitch perfect voice upside down? Yeah

if you’re watching a Paula Abdul performance for the singing, you need to straighten out your priorities.
