Revisiting the Richard Rushfield/Idol story from last night...
We may not know Richard's sources, or even if he still has access to inside information, but I wouldn't be too quick to discount what he's saying. It seems to align with the original reporting of how casting the show would be handled, i.e. ABC was looking to reduce the sky-high salaries that made the original Idol too cost-prohibitive to continue, despite ratings that would have been considered decent or better for most shows. I distinctly remember reading that it was likely Ryan, if he returned, would wind up with a salary below the $15 million he was earning by the time Idol went off the air. And maybe Ryan's attachment to Idol was strong enough that he would have gone along with that...if ABC/Fremantle didn't just demonstrate that they were perfectly willing to break the bank with Katy. Okay, it isn't as if Ryan isn't already richer than God, so he doesn't ~need the money, but he also doesn't need the job, especially if it will entail cross-country travel on a weekly basis (by all indications, it appears Idol is going to be taped in Los Angeles). I could definitely see Ryan walking away if Idol's offer to him is significantly lower than what Katy is earning. Maybe they can make it up by giving him a piece of the show along with a salary, I don't know.
As for Adam, I don't think we can draw any conclusions about the likelihood of him joining the judging panel by his public statements. Whether he's in talks or whether he isn't, he's going to be noncommittal in what he says to the press, because, frankly, the speculation is good for him. I'm sure he'd like it to continue, even if he knows for sure if he has the job nor not. As for hosting, yes, Adam has wit and charm and style and might be great - although the thought of non-Glambert viewers wanting to tune in just to see what he's wearing strikes me as more fandom fantasy than anything - but IMO some people may be fooled by how easy Ryan makes it look. Hosting a live show like Idol is a huge, very difficult juggling act, especially for someone without a lot of experience doing it. Adam had a taste when he hosted Divas Live, which may have something to do with him immediately discounting the possibility when it was brought up to him.
At any rate, it will be interesting to see how all this shakes out, but I doubt I'll be watching Idol v. 2.0 unless Adam is on that TV screen.

Bringing this over from last night's Idol discussion. In response to this: mailchi.mp/theankler/is-seacrest-outAs the resident Idol expert, this article is full of BS. 1) There is no way in hell they offered Ryan a single digit million figure. They know there is NO Idol w/o Ryan. And he was making 15 million when Idol ended. Why on earth would he work for single digit millions. Fremantle is not stupid! 2) Ryan knows he will get offered 1 million over Katy's salary, whatever that is. I still doubt it is 25 million. But 25 million makes for very good PR! 3) Idol went to ABC for a reason. Ryan is on ABC. Ryan will the host of new Idol. As far as Adam goes, he "would love to do if it fits his schedule." If you remember correctly, from "old Idol", they get a lot of PR mileage out of these contract negotiations every.single.season! From ABC 2 weeks ago at the "Upfronts" in NYC! Can the show make money, or do you see it as a loss leader? What you can't do is come back as bargain-basement Idol. We're going to make sure the talent is right, and we'll do what we have to [do to] make it bigger and better than ever. We want to use it as an asset base to launch scripted programming, like it did on Fox. If it returns at the levels it left, it's going to do really well for us.

Wonder if Adam will head to London next week as well. Also wonder if the outfits are ready, the new songs selected and pre-rehearsed, etc. Skewing towards "vintage Americana Queen"....maybe we'll get Jailhouse Rock...lol. He seemed very "relaxed" yesterday (thanks to sweet Pharaoh and the vape pen).....so guess he's "got this".
First shows aren't technically the best, like in Chicago in 2014....but can't wait to see the new set, outfits and setlist, etc in Phoenix. They'll get in the groove quickly and have it down to a science by the end of the US tour. Then, I bet they mix some things up again for the UK and EU....replacing the vintage Americana influence, etc.

Band always starts before Adam. But I am sure Adam will be going soon. I expect they will come here early and do rehearsals too, as they did in 2014.
