We're told Stevie M. wants Paula to be a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars" in the worst way. We're told there was talk of making her a guest judge but that's not gonna happen, and we know why. Paula and Carrie Ann Inaba don't get along.
But McPherson, who's friends with Paula, wants more from her than "Dancing." There's talk of Paula doing a guest appearance on "Ugly Betty." And we're told Paula has a show in mind with her name on it.
As for that other show ... "American Idol" we think it's called ... Paula is not shutting the door. $10 million, and she's theirs.
Stay tuned...

She's got the talent, but the owner of the biggest strip club in America says Miley Cyrus was missing a little something from her pole-grinding performance last night ... about 15 months.
Ed Norwick, the owner of SCORES in New York, knocked the 16-year-old's pole performance on the Teen Choice Awards last night by saying, "While Miley did show off some skills, we at SCORES cannot encourage this kind of behavior for women under the legal age."
We hear Miley's routine has already sparked changes in Teen Choice policy -- we're thinkin' next year's show will have a $20 cover and a two drink minimum.

This one came outta nowhere -- cameras catching "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford in a full-on eyes-closed make-out session with "Twilight" star Ashley Greene earlier this morning!
The two were spotted in the backseat lip-lock while Chace was dropping Ashley off at LAX.
We're told the couple has been spotted together "quite often" recently, but no one suspected that they were more than just "good friends" ... until now.

Victoria Beckham has landed and is ready for her closeup ... as a temp judge on "American Idol."
With Paula Abdul off "Idol" -- for now -- the former Spice Girl arrived in Denver on Friday just in time for the start of the show's auditions.
If anyone can help crush the hopes and dreams of thousands of wannabe singers ... it's Victoria.

The one and only Snoop Dogg brought his executive umbrella assistant to catch the Baltimore Ravens football practice yesterday.
For the record, Snoop is a self-proclaimed HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan -- so what the hell is he doing supporting their arch-rivals!?!
Is Snoop undercover? Is he secretly obtaining information for his beloved Steel Curtain? Or is he simply there to support his pal Ray Lewis?
We smell a traitor!!!!
The pics have been pitched to various sites, including TMZ -- we turned them down. Several websites have published the photos, taken by Vanessa herself in her home. Vanessa's lawyer says the pics were taken when she was underage. As such, publication could be a federal crime.
Sources tell us Vanessa uploaded the pics into her computer and she could be the victim of a hacker. Her lawyer says Vanessa had absolutely nothing to do with the dissemination of the photos.
The lawyer has sent cease and desist letters to various websites that have published the photos, asserting the publication is both a crime and a violation of her right of privacy.
As we already reported, we're told Paula was pulling in somewhere between $2 and $3 million a year and she wanted more. Our sources say "A.I." made her an offer that she didn't like at all. Paula countered but producers didn't want to pay that much, so they countered with another offer.
Rather than responding to the second offer, Paula shocked everyone by tweeting her goodbye. The weirdest thing ... "A.I." took the tweet seriously and responded with an official sayonara.
We're told Paula made it especially difficult during the negotiations because she changed management twice.
One person at "Idol" called her reaction "an emotional tweet." You don't learn that in law school.
As for what she'll do, we're told producer Nigel Lythgoe has given her a standing offer to be a guest judge on "So You Think You Can Dance." Here's what we're thinking -- he'd kill to make her a regular.
Paula's kinda crazy ... but crazy sells.
FOX issued a statement saying, "While Paula will not be continuing with us, she's a tremendous talent and we wish her the best." It definitely sounds real.
We know Paula was ticked at the salary disparity between her and others -- while Ryan Seacrest just made a $45 million/3 year deal and Simon Cowell can buy a small country with his "Idol" money, Paula was getting somewhere between $2 and $3 mil a year.
Here's the weird part: FOX could definitely afford to up the ante and seal the deal, which indicates they weren't that into her.
And they just signed Kara DioGuardi -- which we just don't get at all.
She just tweeted this:
"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to Idol. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon."
Sources have told TMZ that Paula's been negotiating for a big raise, and the deadline was this week because rehearsals are about to start.
So, hardball negotiation ploy on Paula's part or the real deal?
Stay tuned...
With their matching blond weaves firmly in place, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears met up Sunday night for Full Frontal Disco at Grand Star Jazz Club in Chinatown.
The last time these two hung out, Britney hadn't been admitted to a psych ward ... and Lindsay was straight.

Jessica's rep tells TMZ the singer is 1/16th Native American "on her mother's side."
So far, Simpson's peeps have not revealed which tribe Jessica is descended from.
Of course, the revelation only came to light after Jessica started receiving criticism from Native American groups after she claimed she wasn't an "Indian giver" -- regarding a gift she bought Tony Romo.
A German promotional company is calling bull-schnitzel on 50 Cent's agents -- claiming the William Morris Endeavor agency charged them $125,000 to negotiate for a concert that never happened.
Ze company, Major Movez, claims all they wanted to do was talk with Fiddy's peeps about ze possibility of booking ze rapper for a concert in Graz, Austria in ze summer of 2009.
But according to ze lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, WME claimed it would cost ze German's $125k for ze opportunity to negotiate -- with no promise of a deal -- and if the deal fell through, "WME would return the entire amount."
Ze Germans claim they ponied up -- but when ze deal eventually crumbled, they never got their $125,000 back.
Now they're taking WME to court, where they are demanding ze swift return of their Deutsche Marks.

We've learned her name is Samantha Burke, an actress and model. Our sources say DNA tests make it a slam dunk -- Jude's the daddy.
The actor's rep has confirmed the 36-year-old actor is expecting a fourth child with an ex-lover.
Law has three children with his ex-wife, Sadie Frost.
According to her online registry at Babies "R" Us, Burke's due date is October 6th... It says she's expecting a girl she will name Sophia.
UPDATE: Burke's attorneys just sent us the following statement:
"Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy."
In an attempt to calm racial tensions, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden threw back beers with Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and the man who arrested him -- Police Sergeant James Crowley -- near the Oval Office today.
A national debate on racial profiling occurred after Crowley arrested Gates for disorderly conduct during a burglary investigation at the professor's home.
But here's the important part -- the respective beers each man drank:
Obama -- Bud Light
Biden -- Bucklers
Gates -- Sam Adams Light
Crowley -- Blue Moon

Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Chief Chad Dojack were all booked into the Belmont County jail at around 9 PM. It's unclear at the moment what charges they face.
A third man was also arrested in connection with the case -- that guy happens to be the son of Bridgeport's mayor.
Investigators claim the men hatched a plot to swipe valuable information from the surrogate's home in Martins Ferry -- including voice mails left by SJP -- which were to be sold to a tabloid.
All three men posted bond shortly after the arrests.
The surrogate gave birth on June 23 to twin girls.
Mel was at a club last night with GF Oksana Grigorieva when a photog tried taking a pic but coudn't get the shot because of security. According to Hollyscoop.com, the photog's friend stepped in and tried to get the shot, but that reportedly irritated Mel to the point he ripped the guy's shirt open.
That's all we know so far.
Story developing ...
Law's rep confirms he is expecting kid #4 "following a relationship last year" -- adding Law was told by the birth mother the baby is due in the autumn.
His rep says he's no longer in a relationship with the woman but "intends to be a fully supportive part of the child's life."
Law divorced actress Sadie Frost back in 2003 -- they have three kids together.
