Aug 31 (IBNS) Speculations have shot up in the air that Paula Abdul, former American Idol judge, would swallow her pride and agree to a pay raise, but not as much as she wanted.

Since the announcement of Paula Abdul’s departure, American Idol fans have speculated that the former judge might return to the show at some point, despite her manager refuting the rumors.

In such school of conjectures, at least Perez Hilton has stayed positive.

Recently speaking to MTV News, in addition to angling for a spot in the guest-judge chair, Hilton recently said he thinks that Abdul will return.

He said: I definitely think that Paula will be back on the show by the time the live broadcast begins.

He said even though Abdul might be weighing other options, he thinks that returning to the show is still in the foreground.

He added: Between now and then, Paula will swallow her pride. “And agree to a pay raise, but not as much as she wanted.

Until then, there are a number of celebrities who will try their best to be the next Paula Abdul — and Hilton isn’t impressed by the list.

When it comes to the majority of the guest judges — which include Joe Jonas, Mary J. Blige, Victoria Beckham and Shania Twain — he said they don’t have enough of an “it” factor to make it work, especially the woman formerly known as Posh Spice.
