Sources connected to Paula Abdul say Miss Paula wants back on "American Idol."
Our sources say Paula's Twitter is retracted -- at least in her mind - if the price is right. As we first reported, the magic number is $10 million. Will Paula move from that number? The way negotiations go in Hollywood ... probably, but we don't know for sure and if so how much she's willing to give.
We're also told Paula's meetings with ABC didn't really go anywhere. She doesn't want to do "Dancing with the Stars" -- we're told, in no small part, because she wants to be able to jump on a plane on a moment's notice to rejoin her fellow judges on "Idol."
And, we're told, Paula is piiiised at the producers of "Ugly Betty" for leaking the story that she was talking to them about doing the show. She's not going to do it now.
As for "Idol," as far as we know they've been pretty hard-nosed and haven't contacted her reps, but we're not positive. In the end, we're thinking "A.I." isn't gonna let a little Twitter torpedo one of its golden geese.
UPDATE: We spotted Paula Abdul out Saturday night at Boa. She didn't quite know where the restaurant was ... or whether or not she would be joining "Dancing with the Stars." Hmmm ...

Ugly Betty Suarez isn't the only unattractive thing in Tony Plana's life -- a lawsuit was just filed against him and it ain't pretty either.
Tony's former manager Tracy Quinn just filed suit in L.A. County, which claims ever since Tony tossed her to the curb in '08, she hasn't been receiving her cut of his "Ugly" paycheck -- a deal she claims to have brokered.
Tracy is suing Tony for breach of contract to the tune of at least $500,000.

Here's adorably boring "American Idol" winner Kris Allen (left) -- and "Six Feet Under" and "Ugly Betty" star Freddy Rodriguez (right).
Chances are, one of them will eventually be dropped by a record label.
We're just sayin'.

Posh Spice made her way through LAX yesterday, looking more ready to join the Luftwaffe than the cast of "Ugly Betty." Is she going to play a role in buddy Tom Cruise's new Hitler movie? Can she not see?
Frau Beckham camped it up in this reprehensible flight outfit, that is hopefully not part of her new dVB fashion line -- if it is, there'll be a "majah" furor!

A bloody accident on the set of "Ugly Betty" left star America Ferrera stunned, after a man tripped on cables and accidentally fell on his head. Betty boo boo!
On a typical episode of the hit show, there's always a gaggle of gays and gals slapstick-tripping over themselves, but this incident wasn't shtick!
A few minutes later it was back to work -- except for the falling dude -- who was taken to the hospital.

America Ferrera is a knockout compared to the woman she plays on TV, but she still has her insecurities.
Ferrera is combatting her "Ugly" image through lipomassage, a French body treatment also known as endermologie, which smoothes and contours the body by reducing unsightly cellulite -- with the help of a massive massage machine. No incisions, no scars.
The machine simply isolates certain problem areas with a sucking mechanism, while rollers lift, stretch and mobilize the tissues.
Other stars known to undergo endermologie treatments include Sharon Stone (has it done before shooting any nude scenes) and Paris Hilton. The treatment is extremely popular in Hollywood, especially around Red Carpet Season, and is said to be the best alternative to the more dangerous liposuction.

Despite our unadulterated love for "Lost," the show is losing viewers every week and is down nearly five million viewers from the same time last year.
According to early ratings reports, "Lost" pulled in 16.66 million viewers at 9PM, just 180,000 more than "Criminal Minds" over on CBS. Just a year before, the show pulled in 21.66 million viewers -- a 23% drop. To drive the point home, "Lost" lost nearly three million viewers from the last half hour of "Dancing With the Stars," the top show of the night with an average of 18.14 million viewers.
"The Nine" couldn't capitalize on the "Lost" momentum at 10PM, pulling in just 8.41 million viewers -- a drop of 3.5 million viewers from its premiere last week.
Bad news over at NBC -- with stiff competition ("Dancing," "Jericho" and MLB playoffs) running at 8PM, NBC's new Tina Fey comedy "30 Rock" finished third in the hour with 8.26 million viewers. "20 Good Years" premiered at 8:30 with just 6.97 million viewers.
Meanwhile on CBS, their freshman drama "Jericho" continued its strong run with 10.9 million viewers, a comfortable number considering it competes with "Dancing" every week.
Still, we're a month into the new season and there isn't a mega-hit in the bunch. "Ugly Betty" leads a solid, but unspectacular, freshman class after pulling in 14.26 million viewers last week.

Salma Hayek stunned her Latin American audience when she left her role on "Teresa," a highly rated telenovela, to move to Hollywood 15 years ago. Unfortunately back then, as Salma found out, most Hollywood roles for Latin women were prostitutes, waitresses or maids. Thankfully that's no longer the case.
With the premiere of "Ugly Betty," an American take on the Colombian show "Yo Soy Betty, La Fea" on Thursday night, it seems Salma may have had the last laugh. As the executive producer of the critically acclaimed show, Salma could have easily have had a cameo as a model or high-powered fashion executive. Instead, she decided to go back to her roots and maybe take a dig at the Hollywood casting agents who typecast her so long ago.
Salma plays a maid on a telenovela that is on constantly in Betty's house. Hayek's on tv overacting proves the highly accomplished actress can still poke fun at herself and at the industry.
TMZ hopes Ms. Hayek continues her telenovela role -- it's our favorite part of the show.
