Ryan Seacrest’s American Idol deal has hit a snag.
But its not over money!
“American Idol”– have agreed on his salary … somewhere between $10 million and $15 million, substantially less than Katy Perry’s $25M pay check but definitely not chump change — but he wants more than a “Host” title.
Seacrest is asking for an Executive Producer credit…It’s unclear if Seacrest wants day-to-day responsibilities for producing the show…
Meanwhile producers are interested in Lionel Richie as a judge, but we’re told they won’t sign anyone else until they seal the deal with Seacrest.
