Jennifer Lopez Planning Return To American Idol?

Jennifer Lopez may be returning to judge American Idol if sources working on the televised reality show can be believed. This is according to a source speaking to the New York Post earleir this week, however, the source was not able to officially confirm whether Lopez has signed the deal as they lacked authorisation.

If Lopez is returning to judge on the show she will work alongside Australian singer Keith Urban and another, currently unknown, celebrity. Other possible judges include Dr. Luke and Jennifer Hudson.

Will.i.am is reported as having turned down a judging position, whilst Perez Hilton also reported Kanye West turned down a seat on the judges' panel because he felt the show, according to a source, was "too mainstream" and "he didn't want to lose any street cred."

There has been no confirmation, as yet, on Lopez's possible role on the show.

The 13th season of American Idol will premiere on 15 January 2014 on Fox.
