According to a source People magazine reports that, Jennifer Lopez is out as Idol Judge:
Jennifer Lopez is out as a judge on American Idol, according to a source close to the situation.
The singer-actress had been in talks to become a judge on the show this season but the deal fell apart.
“Her demands got out of hand, ” says the source. “Fox had just had enough.”
If this is true, the producers better have a backup! Those judges auditions begin in September!
Maybe TPTB could give Mariah Carey a call. Heh. Or maybe Jessica Simpson could be reconsidered? (Although she recently said Idol didn’t call her…)
If JLo is really out, who should take her place? You peeps got any ideas?
