Paula Abdul won’t host or judge ABC’s new Star Search after all, so she’s still free to judge The X Factor.

Paula and ABC couldn’t come to terms because “Abdul was reluctant to take a lower salary” than what Fox offered and she rejected for American Idol ($5 million a year), “[a]nd ABC was, naturally, very reluctant to indulge in such high figures for launching a new, untested reality show into a marketplace crowded with successful talent competitions,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
