Jennifer Lopez 'On the Fence' About 'American Idol' Return

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 14th 2011 05:30PM

'Love 'em and leave 'em' seems to be Jennifer Lopez's motto. After her stint as a judge on 'American Idol' gave her career a much needed boost, Jenny from the block is "on the fence" about returning to the show.

On whether she'll head back to the dream-making hit, Lopez told BBC Radio, "I don't know. I haven't been forced to make a decision and I'm glad about that because honestly I'm very on the fence about it."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lopez raked in $12 million for her run as the sweet, encourage voice among her fellow judges.

"You get to know them," she said. "You get to know their hopes and their dreams on camera, off camera. You're helping them off camera, you're helping them on camera and it's this crazy ride you go on together."

But Lopez wasn't the only one on the giving end of the career boosting show, 'AI' also gave her career more than a few (much-needed) primetime slots -- premiering her 'On the Floor' music video during a final episode. But apparently, for the 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' singer, her time could be far too valuable for basic cable.

"I had an amazing time doing it and I love it but I have a lot of other things happening, and it's going to come down to me making a choice of what I want to do for the next year."

It sounds like Lopez would rather build up her own career than create someone else's. But with the recent comeback success she's seen, we don't blame her.

I agree!! Who cares!!

By Bret

She was probably p!ssed that Steven Tyler got waaaay more attention than her. Buhh--bye!

By Susie

Exactly what I was going to say!!!! LOL

By joan

I guess J Lo did not get as many other offers from anyone after joining the AI panel. Now she will have to find work again and leave the phony sobs and crying she has been putting on behind her. She is just so much of a put on.

Pahleeeeze ! She never met easier money / odds of her return .... MMMMM 1:1,000,000 plus LMAO

Ont he fence? What else is this skin bleached, nose jobbed, blond weave wearing saggy butt has been going to do. I bet the producers are the ones wary of bringing her back. The American public never wanted this skank in the first place.

I see we have lots of haters here. While I have never been a big fan of hers, she did a good job this year, as did all three judges. Yes, they could have given a bit more criticism, but from a viewership standpoint, what they did worked out very well as can be seen by American Idol having it's best ratings ever this past season. I loved Simon, but the three judge panel this year brought something refreshing to the show which actually made it more enjoyable.

Jennifer Lopez is very pretty and has really helped boost the ratings on Idol,and Tyler is great both are very talented and picked the best of all seasons(I saw every season)this is by far the most talented and that was soley because of the talented judges! Hope JLO stays and most definately Tyler as well!!

I'm still particularly enamored with the rump.

You know......I don't understand. When I was growing up, women would do ANYTHING to NOT have a big bum. We literally "worked our bums off". NOW, all of a sudden, if one doesn't have a big bum, their figure stinks!!! Would someone please explain this to me? Maybe I am just stupid, but I don't get it. I cannot buy a dress because my boos are so much bigger than my bum, so what do girls do about buying clothes who have huge bums and smaller tops, and why is this supposed to be soattractive? Huh??????

the real question is why is my positive post which is out of character for me, rated low.
