Ryan Seacrest is Upset with Katy Perry's Paycheck
- 7 years ago
Apparently Ryan Seacrest is upset at Katy Perry’s 25 million dollar paycheck for American Idol.
In a new report from Page Six, they claim that the former host of AI was suddenly asking himself why he would come back for a 16th season at a salary much smaller than that of a newcomer judge.
Rumor has it Ryan was initially offered just over 10 million dollars.
But an author whose written on the subject of American Idol claimed that Seacrest is already employed in New York and Idol would require him to do weekly cross country trips, so he’s grown notably cooler on that prospect.
Katy famously turned heads when she bragged just last week about how much she was getting paid, saying it was more than pretty much any guy that’s been on the show.
Right now, Ryan Seacrest isn’t pleased with the protracted negotiations, but he’s hopeful a deal can be reached given his affection for the show.
This according to a source familiar with the talks.
Funny thing is, a network insider has also claimed that Katy is NOT getting 25 million to be a judge.
So believe what you will.
