No, American Idol as a show still has its contract with fox. Many people think Idol will not see more than this season and the next because now we have lost Paula and are loosing Simon after this season.
The show will end on Wednesday May 23 2012. They did have a Judge's save for Jessica Sanchez and then did not send two people home the next week.
It appears to end a week earlier on May 17 2012 but the original schedule was for a week later on May 24 2012 before Jermaine Jones the 25 year old from Pine Hill, NJ left on March 14 2012 for Outstanding Warrants. So if they want they can do a judge's save and then not send two people home the next week.
Paula's last name on American Idol is Abdul.
Simon Cowell made $2mil last year from American Idol.
His last name is Cowell and he created the show in Britain called Britain idol and then brought it to America as American idol. I think :/
