Paula AbdulPaula Abdul is fantasizing about destroying American Idol, it has been claimed.

The entertainer and choreographer — who recently exited the hit FOX show after a salary dispute — hopes her upcoming one-woman Las Vegas show will be such a hit, she’ll be able to spin off a TV version — in the same time slot as Idol.

“Paula believes she’s got the draw of a Cher or Bette Midler and she’s determined to rub the noses of the ‘Idol’ bosses in her success,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“She’s funneling her anger and resentment into making this project a hit. She wants to strike back.”

Paula quit Idol when the show’s producers refused her demands for a $20 million salary.

“It’s not just about the money,” the source said. “Her new mantra is success is the best revenge.”

“If this thing takes off, Paula wants to spin off a TV version,” added the friend.

“Her fantasy is to go up in the same time slot as American Idol – and to DESTROY THEM.”
