Today I have a little contract news for NBC’s The Voice, Fox’s American Idol and some other spots, like the Rockford Files remake casting news. Check it out below:

The Voice
If you love The Voice on NBC (well, aside from that little girl who keeps claiming that this that and the other thing is trending worldwide on Twitter… seriously… she needs to look more closely at her monitor!), you’re not alone. Plenty of people like the show too.
I think it’s awesome to see the judges step up and perform, and it’s introduced me to Cee-Lo Green and Blake Shelton. (Now when he [Blake] pops up in NASCAR ads, I know who he is!)
Well, the gang is mostly set with new contracts for a third season, and I have to say, we must like the A LOT!
According to Deadline Hollywood, NBC is close to closing the deal with one last person of the quartet to have another round of The Voice in an upcoming season.
But if you’re wondering how much we really like the show, you can always see what they’re paid as a gauge of sorts.
Deadline says that Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green and Brad are going to have third season salaries in the high seven-figure range! With Christina Aguilera getting more than the others!
Wow.

American Idol
Speaking of crazy deals, I wonder how Brian Dunkelman is doing and how hard he’s kicking himself these days?
Despite a ratings decline, THR is reporting that Fox has signed up Ryan Seacrest with a new two-year deal worth $15M per year. (It must suck to be him! NOT!)
The ratings for American Idol have faded by almost 20%, but apparently there’s hope.
Then again, Fox wants to keep him on a leash for other projects too… and you can’t blame them.
