It really is all about the benjamins, baby!

A few days ago Jennifer Lopez was DONE with American Idol for good!! She had too much going on with the Enrique Iglesias tour, etc.

Yesterday, reports surfaced that the real reason Jennifer wanted off the show was because she was insulted by the amount of dough Simon Cowell was throwing at Demi Lovato and Britney Spears on X Factor.

And now the pop star is singing a different tune altogether!!

Check out her Twat Tweet:

Recently, Simon Cowell did an interview with BBC Radio 4 and brought up one VERY good point about his shows’ competition, The Voice — all while adding more fuel to the fire!

According to Simon, if the show is “all about the voice, then what’s the point of looking at them?” LOLz…we suppose he’s right!

Cowell went on to say that he thinks the show should be on the radio, rather than TV!

Hmm…that'd be interesting!

Totally! Ha!!

Remember when Simon Cowell picked Britney Spears as his prized X Factor judge (even though Mariah Carey was reportedly in the running)?

And remember when Mariah, when asked about Simon's decision the same day, responded shortly with:

Cowell-Seacrest feud? Still ON!

The Hollywood Reporter recently released their top 50 picks for the most powerful players in reality TV! Some choices are expected, while others, the average reality TV viewer might not ever have even heard of!

Mz. Jennifer Lopez is bringing in the cash and cashing in on this year's Forbes World's Most Powerful Celebrities list! But don't be fooled (by the rocks that she's got, got) — she's still Jenny from the block!

From On The 6 to America's hit TV show, J.Lo tops this year's list at numero uno, for her "career reincarnation" and for earning $52 million over the last 12 months!!

The annual list is based on money AND fame, with fame being defined as media visibility and social media presence!

While Oprah stays snuggled in at second place like last year, Justin Bieber follows right after the talk show legend, ranking at number 3 and earning $55 million.

Pretty impressive!

Though second (second is the best…?), Oprah STILL ranks as number one in TV/Radio AND in earnings, making $165 million in just this past year!!!

Oh, she's worth it!!

Booking Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as new X Factor judges, may have been the all-time best decision Simon Cowell EVER made!

We all know fabulous things do NOT come easy. So, it's not shocking that getting Brit to sign on the dotted line was tough a freak'n battle!

After making the big announcement, Cowell admited:

So you think you can dance judge?

Nigel Lythgoe begs to differ!

Demi Lovato and Britney Spears are the new X Factor panelists but negative Nigel tells the world he never would’ve picked them to do Idol.

That's right — Nigel would do anything for his beloved show… but he won't do that! He insists:
