Jennifer Lopez's American Idol Salary is $12 Million
Jennifer Lopez has officially signed on to be an American Idol judge and she will make $12 million for the gig, according to new reports. Jenni was asking for $15 million/ year and a guaranteed movie, but she will be making $12 million instead. Earlier reports suggested that Jennifer was out because of her diva demands. Her requests do sound over the top to me.
"She was angling for an overall deal at Fox, including a put picture, to keep the movie career going. But Fox said, ‘No.’ In the old days, these were called a 'vanity deal' for good reason. They simply don't exist today."
I've never been a big J. Lo fan. I like when she dances, and that's about it. Idol jumped the shark when they fired Paula Abdul then replaced her with awkward Ellen and now J. Lo is supposed to bring fans in?! Producers need to choose judges with big personalities and those who know WTF they're talking about and doing. Perez Hilton strongly resembles a pig, but he would be much better than Jennifer. Clay Aiken would also be a good judge because he's a snob with a flamboyant divatude, kind of like Tim Gunn of Project Runway. And one of my faves, the incomparable Howard Stern would also be ridiculously entertaining.

@Zyon - Howard Stern has broken dozens of well known artists on his radio show, and also had a #1 selling album (on which he performed) for the Soundtrack to his movie. He's honest, he knows what's good and what's not .. and he'd tell it like it is. Not like the rest of those sappy retards that can't say a mean thing to save their soul.

WTF does Howard stern know about the music business you retard.. and project runway Tim Gunn would be to worried about looks and not voice. that my friend is why your not in charge of judging.. Jlo had an incredible voice and knows what it takes to make it in the business as does Steven Tyler and that's why they are on it.. not to mention it doesn't matter who the judges are people watch it for the show not for the judges.. stick to watching the show and not writing about it and you'll be good
