Jennifer Lopez could well have cost herself her gig on American Idol.
According to PopEater, insiders believe Lopez’s admission to the BBC that she’s “on the fence” about returning toIdol next season is nothing more than a ploy for a pay hike so they’re discussing possible replacements should they not be able to entice her to return.
“Right now the star of American Idol is Steven Tyler,” a source said.
“Everyone thought after Simon Cowellannounced he was leaving that [Lopez] would fill the void. How wrong were they? It’s all about Steven, who’s already signed on for season 11.
“Idol has resurrected her much-stalled music career.
“Likewise, Idol didn’t fall apart when Simon left and Jennifer has to get some of the credit for that. But let’s also remember the show didn’t increase in ratings and that is also thanks to J.Lo.”
Shania Twain and Shakira are already being mentioned as Lopez’s replacement.
