Elton Passes on $33M Paycheck
It would have been interesting, but Elton John has passed on an offer to take over Simon Cowell's seat on American Idol.
John would have received a staggering $33 million for the judging job, according to Access Hollywood, though it's not known if that amount was for one season or for a multiyear contract.
Cowell is leaving Idol after the current season, but his replacement won't be named until after the May 26 finale.
