WHOA! Things are getting innnnneresting as the Jennifer Lopez v. Mariah Carey saga continues!
It turns out J.Lo reportedly sought out American Idol to open discussions about her return to the show├óΓé¼Γäós judging panel — not the other way around.
A source revealed:
“J.Lo had her manager Benny Medina approach FOX to alert them of her interest in rejoining Idol.”
Why? Well, with two young kids, Jenny from the block thinks it might be time to settle down — something ├óΓé¼┼ôIdol allowed her to do.├óΓé¼┬¥ The source added:
“The twins will enter kindergarten in the Fall and stability is important for them – and J.Lo – at this time. She’s looking for possible schools for the kids in Los Angeles at the moment. Plus, if she’s living in L.A. full-time she will be able to focus on her film career and other ventures, including her fashion business.”
Despite her interest in returning to the show, J.Lo was never after Mariah’s spot on the show. The source explained:
├óΓé¼┼ôIf there was a ├óΓé¼╦£secret plot├óΓé¼Γäó to replace Mariah, as has been suggested, then it was all FOX… J.Lo├óΓé¼Γäós approach was about the future. Not the present. She├óΓé¼Γäós talking about next season.├óΓé¼┬¥
Hmm, guess we├óΓé¼Γäóll have to wait and see…
