Jennifer Lopez, nuevo jurado de American Idol
La cantante y actriz Jennifer Lopez se convierte en la nueva jurado del programa poupular de TV American Idol. Segun fuentes americanas aseguran que la interprte de 'Una Noche Más' se habría reunido con la producción junto a su manager Benny Medina para arreglar y negociar su posible llegada al reality de TV que causa furor en los Estados Unidos.

J-Lo entraría para remplazar a la popular comediante y actriz Ellen DeGeneres, quien solo permaneció en el show una sola temporada y que recientemente dijo que 'el programa ya no era para ella'. "Ella solo quería divertirse haciendolo, pero fue todo lo contrario", declaran fuentes cercanas.

J-Lo to be the new Idol Judge
We’ve just learned on Twitter the backstory of how Ellen DeGeneres bowed out of American Idol and who will be its new judge taking her place: Jennifer Lopez, who’s singing and acting career has been on the skids after her recent movies failed at the box office and she was dropped by her record company Sony. We hear her manager Benny Medina, whom she once fired, orchestrated the meeting with the American Idol producers a month ago, and negotiations have been ongoing ever since. We’ve learned a deal was closed earlier this week under the utmost secrecy. Still to be decided is who will replace Simon Cowell. Everyone associated with the show wants Elton john, but we hear he’s asking for too much money and has too many touring commitments he can’t get out of.

As for Ellen Degeneres, we're told she wanted off the show two months ago, and she and her reps went in to to see Fox Broadcasting's Entertainment Chairman Peter Rice and Alternative TV President Mike Darnell and asked to be let out of the year left on her contract. "She's not comfortable. She's not happy. It's not been fun," Fox was told. But Rice and Darnell responded that, with Cowell leaving, "We can't let you out now because it would be bad for our franchise. Give us a chance to figure out who we could get." In the end, all the show's producers -- Fox, Fremantle, and 19 Entertainment -- worked it out. "Peter Rice was awesome," an insider tells us. "Ellen is thrilled and relieved." We've learned that serious conversations took place between Idol and Jessica Simpson to replace Ellen. But once Jennifer Lopez was locked in this week, the DeGeneres announcement went out.

Nigel Lythgoe will be back as an executive producer for the show since Simon Cowell left to pursue his new show US X-Factor coming in 2011. Etiquetas: Jennifer Lopez
