Is Jennifer Lopez really leaving American Idol?
That's the question on everyone's mind heading into next week's season 11 grand finale, which could very well be Lopez's final appearance on the show as a judge. We just chatted with executive producer Nigel Lythgoe about of Jennifer's possible exit, what it would mean for the show if she did depart and why doing the show is "a major problem for any artist."
Plus, does Nigel already have a replacement in mind for Jennifer?
"I don't believe that's true," Nigel says, despite multiple sources close to Lopez telling us she plans to walk after this season. However, Nigel is quick to point out that her exit from the show would not be something he takes lightly.
"It would mean a great deal to the show . I've said in the past, we've got the world's most beautiful judge, somebody who speaks from her heart. Somebody who I trust their integrity," he explains. "It would mean starting all over again with a new judge and getting them up to speed. It's not easy. It's not easy criticizing people and doing it in a manner that isn't just chopping their knees from underneath them, but hopefully coaching them."
Sources tell E! News that Jennifer's "busy" schedule could force her to leave the show after two seasons. One insider insists that the move isn't an attempt to get a bigger contract once her current one-year deal, estimated to be worth $20 million, expires after a winner is crowned next week.
"This is a major problem for any artist," Nigel says of the rigid filming schedule of Idol. "We gave out dates last night in June for next season and then we got through that whole process, which take something like four months to do. We've got to find dates that suit everybody with the judges because it's not just Jennifer. Don't forget Aerosmith is going on tour, Randy Jackson's got albums to produce and Ryan Seacrest is ruling the world at the moment. It's got to fit everybody and it's difficult."
Nigel says Jennifer is going to have to ask herself some important questions before making the decision to continue with the show.
"You've got to start making decisions: Do I want to carry on doing this? Do I want to go off and make movies?" he explains. "She's had a wonderful resurgence with being the most beautiful woman in the world, two No. 1 records, she's doing brilliantly. She's going to have to balance everything up."
While Jennifer says she has yet to make any decisions regarding her future with Idol, Nigel isn't looking into any replacements just yet. "I do not have people in mind. I only do that when I'm forced into it."
One person who definitely wouldn't replace the What to Expect When You're Expecting star? The contestants' mentor Jimmy Iovine.
"I'm very happy with our judges. I do think that they speak from the heart. They speak with intelligence. They speak, obviously, with insight. When they don't, or if they screw up, I got Jimmy Iovine on the sidelines to castigate them," he says. "I like that position. A lot of people have suggested that Jimmy comes on as a judge. I would hate that. That wouldn't allow me to ask somebody what they think about the judges. "
Jennifer Lopez's feet have never returned to their normal size since she was pregnant with twins Max and Emme, who she gave birth to in February 2008.
Jennifer Lopez's feet have never returned to their normal size following her pregnancy.
The singer-and-actress gave birth to twins Max and Emme in February 2008 and while she was expecting the babies her feet went up a size and she admits they've never fully recovered.
She said: ''I was surprised that my feet went up a size. I was like, 'What am I going to do with all these great shoes.'
''They went back, almost, but not all the way. It's just like your ribs. Like, I used to fit into the sample size, now they have to open up the hips a little bit for me.''
However, the 'American Idol' judge - who split form the twins' dad, Marc Anthony, last July - says she loved every minute of pregnancy and now thrives on being a mother.
She told OK! magazine: ''I had a really ideal pregnancy. I was on tour until I was six-and-a-half months pregnant. I didn't really blow up until I was like eight-and-a-half months. I remember having one moment of panic sitting in the living room and it just hot me that I was going to be responsible for two other human beings, and for one second you think you can't do it. But then when you have kids every day, they just bring so much joy and happiness to your life. They just bring you right back down to earth.''
JLo is exploring the idea of having a surrogate child with her man Casper Smart. JLo got the baby fever after visiting Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, whose 15 month old daughter, Faith, was carried by a surrogate. An OK magazine insider says she's looking into a gestational carrier pregnancy. Jennifer is getting older, but she loves the idea of using her DNA and Caspers DNA, but having a surrogate do the nine months of work.
If the Jennifer Lopez decide to leave of "American Idol," who should replace her? Internet rumors and suggestions seem to think Kelly Clarkson or Stevie Nicks would be good options, but Patrick Jones thinks it's a chance to add some edge back to the panel that left with Simon Cowell.
Jennifer Lopez's days on "American Idol" are up in the air, but not necessarily over.
Following reports that she's exiting the FOX series after two seasons, the star spoke out on Twitter on Thursday night.
"There is no truth to reports that say I am definitely leaving Idol," she wrote. "All I said was I haven't decided what I am doing next year."
Adding, "When I know for sure what I'm doing I will let the #LOVE!RS know!"
Earlier this week, reports suggested that the singer's upcoming tour with Enrique Iglesias would conflict with her "Idol" duties and her other endeavors won't allow time to be at the show's judges' table.
Last week, Access' Shaun Robinson asked the superstar about her future with "Idol."
"I've had an amazing time doing it," Jennifer said at the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" junket. "[Will you] be back next year?" Shaun asked.
"I don't know. I didn't know last year, and I don't know this year. I will have to wait and see what the rest of the year brings," Jennifer explained. "I'm going on tour right now, see how I feel when I'm done with that. You know what I mean? It's like one day at a time."
The Maribel Foundation continues to grow healthcare programs around the world. The foundation, which was founded by Jennifer and her sister Lynda, introduces a new program to improve the health and well-being of women and children each year. Right now, the Maribel Foundation is offering two exciting auction packages to help support important fundraising efforts. The packages are a great way to support the foundation and have a fun evening with Jennifer.
If you’re a fan of American Idol, this auction package is perfect for you. The highest bidder will receive two tickets to the American Idol finale, a special room at the W Hollywood Hotel and an opportunity to meet Jennifer at the show.
The second package is for the Q’Viva! Live Show, which premieres later this month in Las Vegas. The lucky winner will receive two tickets to the performance, a hotel stay at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, backstage passes and an opportunity to meet Jennifer at the show.
At each event, you will have great seats to enjoy the event and see Jennifer and other performers sing, dance and deliver a spectacular show.
Forbes just named the most powerful celebrity: Jennifer Lopez. The superstar tops the charts, breaks records, and now she reached the 1,000,000,000 views on her youtube channel with 1.000.010.510 hits. She has 12+ million fans on Facebook, 6+ million followers on twitter, here video -On The Floor - is still the most watched by a female with 539.365.871 hits.
Everyone loves JLo in the judging seat, but our love might not be enough to keep her around as she is simply getting so busy with other things. I mean, a world tour can pretty much tie up all of a girls time.
Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest are dubbed the most influential people in the entertainment industry. Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest are two of the most busiest people in Hollywood, but recently Forbes Magazine just named Lopez the #1 most powerful celebrities. The actress, pop star, and American Idol judge climbed the list from last years #50 spot beating out Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber. Ryan Seacrest made the #1 spot on The Hollywood Reporter's list of most powerful people in Reality TV.
Jennifer Lopez, Oprah, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga are the 2012 top celebrities on the Forbes Celebrity 100 List! Forbes Magazine just released the 2012 list of their annual Celebrity 100 list, where stars are judged on 2 criteria: their level of fame and presence in the media, and how much they earned before taxes.
Topping the 2012 list is my personal favorite leading lady, Miss Jennifer Lopez.
She brought in $52 million dollars last year, stemming from her gig as a judge on American Idol, new movies, new music, endorsement deals, her clothing line, fragrance line, and more.
Jennifer Lopez may have just been named by Forbes magazine today as the most powerful celebrity, but her reign at American Idol is coming to an end.
While J.Lo has publicly said she has yet to make a decision about her future on Idol, sources exclusively tell me that she she's planning on calling it quits. "She's just too busy," one source said. She's about to launch a mega concert tour with Enrique Iglesias that kicks off this summer in Latin America and the U.S. She plans to go worldwide in the fall.
I'm told Lopez will be on the road, at the very least, through the end of the year.
The next round of Idol auditions will begin while she's overseas.
The superstar apparently wants to free up her schedule next year, possibly taking a little hiatus from work to be with her kids.
"It is just like any working mom's dilemma," Lopez told us at Monday's premiere of What to Expect When You're Expecting. "It's tough. It's a balancing act. You put them first and then you have all these other things that you have to do, that you have to give your time to as well, and you have to make sure that they're OK in the process."
Fox declined to comment on Lopez's future with the show. Meanwhile, a source close to the production tells E! News that "Fox does not want to let her go. They love her."
Lopez has been on Idol for two seasons with one-year contracts for both. She went home with $12 million the first time around with a nice raise to $20 million for this season.
Now the question is, will Fox try to change Lopez's mind with a much bigger payday?
How Jennifer Lopez Climbed To No. 1 On The Forbes Celebrity 100 List
May 17, 2012 // Credit: Forbes
Last year on the annual FORBES Celebrity 100 list, a ranking of the most powerful people in entertainment, Jennifer Lopez came in at No. 50. This year, she climbed to No. 1, besting media mogul Oprah Winfrey and pop singers Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. How did the 42-year-old become the nation’s hottest and most sought after celebrity with an estimated income of $52 million in the last 12 months? Smart positioning and whole lot of hustle.
After a career slump defined by box-office flops (Gigli, Jersey Girl) and disappointing CD sales (Brave, Como Ama una Mujer), the Latina triple threat parlayed her position as a judge on American Idol into hit singles, an upcoming international music tour, a revitalized movie career, new product lines and a growing portfolio of endorsements. The newly single mother of 4-year-old twins may be the busiest woman in entertainment.
It all started with that little singing competition show on Fox. Reeling from lost strongholds like Simon Cowell and failed replacements like Ellen DeGeneres, the addition of Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler on the Idol judging table worked. Suddenly Lopez was in the living rooms of 25 million people each week. She quickly became known as the nurturing one, and successfully walked the line between “America’s sweetheart” and sizzling sex symbol, nightly stuffed into a glittering array of skin-tight outfits. Everyone was talking about her.
In the last year, Lopez racked up over 23,000 press mentions, graced 46 major magazine covers, topped People’s 2011 Most Beautiful list and became a Glamour Woman of the Year. She didn’t waste the exposure for a second. In May 2011, she released her first album in four years, Love?, with Island/Def Jam Records. She also used the Idol platform to premiere music videos and perform singles. Last year’s“On The Floor” went multi-platinum, according to RIAA, and the music video amassed over 530 million YouTube views.
When Lopez agreed to a second season of Idol, she had leverage, reportedly reupping to a massive $20 million contract, from $12 million the year before. She also became the new face of L’Oreal and signed deals with Gillette, Fiat and TOUS jewelry. In September, she launched a clothing collection for Kohl’s, which the company calls in filings “the largest in our company history both in breadth of content and sales dollars.”
“The exposure from American Idol is huge,” says Jon Albert, CEO of The Albert Company, a leading celebrity talent broker to advertisers. “It can make a career for the contestants and the judges. Advertisers see her on Idol and all the positive publicity–it would make sense that they would go after her. She’s beautiful, talented, multicultural, a movie actress and an entrepreneur. A lot of people like her. That makes her an excellent spokesperson, particularly to female consumers.”
She’s racing to keep up. This month, audiences can watch her in new movie What to Expect When You’re Expecting or pick up her new fragrance, Glowing, which is the 18th scent in a successful decade-old fragrance line with partner Coty Inc. and $2 billion in total sales. Readers of women’s magazines will also begin seeing a major new ad campaign for the perfume that features a nude and glistening Lopez.
“Our launch of Glow 10 years ago was a defining moment for both our company and the industry, reinventing the celebrity fragrance category,” says Bernd Beetz, chief executive of Coty. “Jennifer’s success is a testament to her unmatched work ethic and truly global appeal.”
In June, she will kick off her first international music tour, starting in Panama City. Her fans (12 million on Facebook and 6 million on Twitter) will get even more access to her on the just-launched website JenniferLopez.com, where she writes promotional blog posts and streams video announcements and extras.
She’s come a long way from her modest beginnings as Jenny from the Block, the girl who spent 12 years in all-girls Catholic school in the Bronx, NY, dropped out of Baruch College and got her break dancing as a Fly Girl on In Living Color at age 22. The first career climb, rocketed by her starring role in Selena in 1997 and debut album On the 6 in 1999, fizzled out amid troubled relationships, bad movie choices and mediocre music. The second coming is even bigger, taking her all the way to the top. Where could she go from here?
