He feels snubbed.
Ryan Seacrest isn't happy about Katy Perry's reported $25 million American Idol paycheck, and he's considering not returning to the show because of it. Apparently, execs offered him $10 million to host the upcoming reboot, and he was giving it serious thought before he learned how much the "Chained to the Rhythm" songstress was set to bank.
"[He] was suddenly asking himself why he would come back for a 16th season at a salary [much smaller than that] of the newcomer judge,†Richard Rushfield, author of American Idol: The Untold Story, wrote in his email newsletter, the Ankler.
"Ryan isn’t pleased with the protracted negotiations. But he is hopeful that a deal can be reached given his affection for the show," a source dished to Page Six.
KP, on the other hand, is thrilled she's breaking the glass ceiling.
“I’m really proud that, as a woman, I got paid. And you know why? I got paid, like, more than like pretty much any guy that’s been on that show," she bragged on 03.5 KTU last week.
It's time to show him the money!
