According toEW.com, Jennifer Lopez will not be joining the American Idol judging panel when the singing competition returns in January on FOX.
Rumor had it that the deal was in the final stages and a contract with Lopez was in the works, but apparently the negotiations hit a snag due to certain, unknown demands made by Lopez. With Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres leaving the hit show, the producers are looking for big name power to keep the viewers interested in the show, which last year was still the #1 television show, despite a slight decline in the ratings.
Is the news about Lopez not joining American Idol good or bad? Who do you think should be the new Idol Judges? Let us know!

Now that “American Idol” is history for Simon Cowell, he’s turned his attention to trying to make history again, as he brings an American version of his UK hit “The X Factor” to Fox next fall. When “American Idol” was adapted from England’s “Pop Idol” in 2002, there weren’t any expectations for what was then a summer fill-in reality series. Since then, Cowell and “Idol” have become household names, so is he feeling a little more pressure in bringing “The X Factor” to America?
