Stupid Celebrities Gossip – Paula Abdul has reportedly rekindled her romance with her former boyfriend of twenty years ago, Arsenio Hall. Read more on the couple below.

Paula Abdul has been single after her split from restaurant owner J.T. Torregiani last year. But Arsenio Hall apparently reached out to her to offer support after she quit her job with American Idol this past summer.

Paula and Arsenio met on the set of Eddie Murphy’s 1988 movie “Coming to America”, and dated and have decided to give their relationship another try.

A source says, “Arsenio reached out to Paula because he thought she needed a friend to talk to, someone she could relate to. Arsenio knows what it’s like to leave a hit TV show. One phone call led to another, and the next thing you know, they were making a date.

“This could be the perfect situation for the two of them. Paula and Arsenio know each other inside and out.”

Money. That’s the word on the street. Paula Abdul was making 3.5 million per season and was requesting a minimum of 12 million per season, after Ryan Seacrest inked a 15 million per season deal and Simon Cowell signed on for a 30 million per season deal. The idol show producers make about 850 million on the show. Randy Jackson will return with 2 million a season, and Kara DiGiardo reportedly will make the same amount as Paula once had – 3.5 million. When Kara just signed on for the show, she reportedly told Abdul, “I can’t believe you work for so little.”
