Paula Abdul announced via Twitter that she will not be returning back to American Idol, not that this is much of a surprise. In the tweets she did not explain the reason why she is leaving the show but I would guess that it has something to due with money. Considering Ryan Seacrest makes about $40 million an episode, and Simon Cowell makes about $100 million an episode, and she only receives about $4 million an episode I would leave too.
