Katy is being paid a whopping $25 million to be a judge on ABC’s reboot of Idol.
In May last year, Katy boasted about her pay and said she’s looking for a new man to celebrate with her.
‘I’m really proud that as a woman, I got paid. I got paid more than any guy that’s been on that show. By the way, I love men, so I’m a paid woman, and I’m ready for a beautiful man,’ she told radio show Cubby and Carolina In The Morning.
She is now believed to have reignited her romance with Orlando Bloom.
