Uh, They'll take a HUGE cut. The show is getting 8 to 9 mil when Simon promised 20 mil from the start. In Fact it's down from Season 1 (10-12 mil)

There will be no Rihanna or Chris Brown on the US because obviously Big Names won't cut it. They have to be good judges/mentors as well.

Take a look at the US Voice. They have big names and good coaches/judges. Which is why more people are turning to that show.

Everyone's wishfully thinking that Rihanna's going to show up but I don't think it's happening, Sure she was a guest mentor with LA for season 1, but the budget's going to show up. I think Rihanna's going to ask for the same money Britney's getting (15 Million Bucks)

Personally I think the panel next year will be
Simon
Demi (Because she's working for cheap and is a great judge. Could also be a great mentor for next year)
Female Singer that'll work for cheap, still a big name but down to earth like Mary J. Blige
Producer, Although LA has suggested Rockstar Bon Jovi (Which would be a good choice because Middle America, which this show needs, Loves Rockstars/Country stars, why do you think Tate's in the final?)

As Far As I know she said she'll come back if offered.
