The old saying goes: "Time is money" -- and it's not worth Dr. Dre's time to collect the money owed to him by the State of California.

According to the website for the California State Controller's Office, Dre (real name Andre Young) is owed $132.98 in back wages.
Dre's beats are in such high demand, it would probably cost him more money to try and collect it.

Paula Abdul is pissed off that Ryan Seacrest is a very rich man, our "American Idol" spies say.
Abdul isn't angry at Ryan personally for his new $45 million, 3-year deal, but she's bent out of shape at producers that she's making minimum "Idol" wage -- we're told between $2 and $3 mil a year.
Our spies say producers want Paula back for sure, but she's now doing the Hollywood thing of pretending like she'll walk.
Here's the fun part. Auditions for the next season start on August 6. We're told there are already plans to start the auditions without her if they don't have a deal.
As for what Paula wants -- we're told somewhere between 2 and 3 times what she's making now. Here's our guess -- $4.5 a year ... a lot better than the $5,000 a week she pulled in for season one.

Wearing a perky red bikini, "Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel soaked her skinny girl bones in the sun while out on Long Island yesterday.

If the 38-year-old -- and her fellow "RHONY" cast mates -- don't resolve their salary disputes for the show's next season, she'll have even more time to work on her tan.
