3. There always have been contestants on DWTS who have had a certain advantage over their competition- like Mario Lopez took tons of dance lessons as a kid. But Paula was a PROFESSIONAL choreographer! That would be ridiculously unfair. Why even watch?

5. Get that money, Paula! Besides always being HILARIOUSLY impaired on AI, she was just so nice all the time. And constructive but encouraging to the kids. I hated her so much in the beginning, but her 'drunken sweetie' shtick really won me over, after awhile.
GO PAULA! Who watches AI to see Seacrest? Honestly, why does he get so much? He has enough jobs.

6. Paula is a dumb bitc* without talent. Her flakiness is what made the other show work. I predict she will flop, anywhere else besides idol.

7. Yes, it sounds weird. She is a professional choreographer and for her be in a competition with people whom don't have her background is not fair for the other contestants. I think that AI executives should pay the 10 millions that she wants and let her just go back for her sit on American Idol. That's it.

11. Under Investigation?
A source close to Harvey Levin says he and TMZ are in the middle of two separate investigations.
The first is being executed by Kroll, the "risk management" company whose security services unit is known to be a shadow-y ballbuster.
Kroll's fee is supposedly being bankrolled by the very celebrities Levin covers, who've felt they've been wronged by the TMZ kingpin. (Or simply unable to sway the way he covers them?)
Kroll is said to be looking into the finances of Harvey and Warner Bros., though we've as yet been unable to identify the celebrities who are supposedly paying for their services. And speaking of finances, we're also told federal authorities have their eye on TMZ. In this scenario, the FBI is looking into allegations of Levin & Co. paying off court officials and legal authorities for access to court records and police reports that are either under seal or wouldn't normally be made available to the public so quickly. Officially, TMZ says it doesn't pay sources for information, but a certain O.J. Simpson witness says otherwise. The FBI, though, is more concerned with sealed documents being illegally leaked to TMZ, and police department sources tipping off the site in exchange for bribes. Levin didn't respond to a request for comment. A FBI spokesperson could not (or would not) confirm nor deny there was an open investigation. On-lookers, however, have grown increasingly suspicious about TMZ's endless access to records, and its ability to get its hands on them before anyone else. Scrappy reporters, or deep pockets?

14. Is DWTS going to pay her $10 Million to appear as a CONTESTANT??? I doubt it !!! How much are they going to pay her appear on an episode of Ugly Betty???? The fact of the matter is Paula is not worth $10 Million to any network. I'm sure that there are many major music stars who would be happy to take her spot on AI for MUCH LESS than $10 Million. If I was the producer of AI I would be talking to JANET JACKSON right now as a replacement for Paula. Janet is a TRUE talent and is someone that would generate a lot of interest as a result of the untimely death of Michael. I heard that Janet was being considered as a contestant on DWTS but I really think she would be smart to pursue AI.

15. Playing games like this is not professional. Doesn't she have an agent that handles her negotiations?
