Although J.Lo has yet to make a public announcement regarding her future on Idol it seems as if she won’t be returning next season. The main reason for her calling it quits: she’s extremely busy. This summer Jennifer is set to go on tour in Latin America and the U.S with Enrique Iglesias and eventually wants to make it a worldwide tour. This will leave Jennifer on the road until the end of the year giving her no time to be in the U.S when the next round of Idol auditions begin. While J.Lo has some major decisions to make Fox could make her decision easier by offering her a much bigger payday.
Paula Abdul leaving Idol?!
Well, yesterday we all heard there IS a possiblity that American Idol judge Paula Abdul may not be returning this season. What?! Now, Paula does mess up her words a bit and sometimes doesn’t make sense, but Idol without her would be so….boring. Who would Simon joke with and pick on? So..do you want Paula to stay, or leave?
