I like Ellen, but she was a bad choice. That being said, Paula really had no recourse. she quit via twitter and that was as unprofessional as it gets. Bye, Bye millions.

Too bad Paula listened to her new agent. $4Million a year jobs aren't that easy to come by. Hopefully, he will find something for Paula.
