J. Lo Becomes American Idol's 12 Million Dollar Woman

By Michael Lopez

The Jennifer Lopez stories were flying fast and furious on the web today. Is she signing that “American Idol” contract? Is she not? Well, according to People.com, it’s a done deal! J. Lo will now be sitting in the judge’s seat for a cool $12 million bucks.

This after confirmations that Kara DiGuardi, Simon Cowell, and Ellen DeGeneres are all officially outtie. Though Jennifer’s name has been circulating for a while among “A.I.” gossip sites, people were very skeptical as to whether or not the deal would actually happen.

Issues relating to salary, creative control, and even dressing room demands were supposedly holding up negotiations for months. Was Jenny from the Block happy with the final deal? Her reps are still refusing to comment, but with $12 million dollars in her pocket, how could she NOT be?!

Plus the contract would only be for one year, which means she’d be free to tour and promote the Love? album (whenever she decides to release it). AceShowbiz caught her in the middle of a top secret video shoot over the weekend for one of its singles, called “Take Care.” And what better place to debut it than in front of millions of “American Idol” fans? Smooth move, J-Lo.
