Ruben Studdard -- I'd Give Paula $10 Million!

Someone affiliated with "American Idol" finally thinks Paula Abdul deserves $10 million. Slight problem: It's only Ruben Studdard.

Studdard, who won season two, thinks Paula is "probably" worth it -- but as TMZ first reported, Abdul has been taking meetings with ABC head honcho Steve McPherson and could end up on "Ugly Betty" and a show with her name on it instead.

Any fans of Paula's can send money to the show and I don't think they would raise anywhere near $10 million dollars.

Ruben was A.I.'s token black guy. He might have had a decent career back in the 80's and early 90's when soul was somewhat popular, but with the emergence of R&B and Rap he just doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I think I saw him performing in a Payless Shoe Store a couple of months back, on the kids aisle.
