After hearing last month that Jennifer Lopez was close to signing on as one of the judges on the Fox reality TV series American Idol, we learned earlier this week that Fox decided to pass on bringing J. Lo on as an AI judge reportedly because her diva demands got too out of control. In the wake of all the talk of Jennifer‘s “firing” from a job she never really had in the first place, J. Lo posted an image on her official Twitter profile that seems to suggest that she is not at all upset that she won’t be judging American Idol … apparently because she is too bizzy deciding with of her numerous diamonds to wear:
Along with this photo, J. Lo tweeted Hmmm… what should I wear today? which, IMHO, suggests to her numerous Twitter followers that she’s got more important things to do than worry about judging one of the most popular TV shows in America right now. To that I say, Yeah right. But, I guess we won’t have to keep ourselves up at night worrying about J. Lo and her bank account. La Diva Latina is swimming in diamonds, there is no need to worry about her at all.
In any event, now that Jennifer Lopez is deffo out … TMZ is reporting that Fox has an ace replacement idea up their sleeve … and her name is Shania Twain. Read more, after the jump …
“American Idol” sources tell TMZ … the Jennifer Lopez deal isn’t dead yet, but if it does flatline … “Idol’s” next choice is country star Shania Twain. Shania was a hit on “Idol” this past season when she served as guest judge and mentor. We’re told Shania is Plan B.
OMG … brilliant idea! What I want to know is why is Shania NOT Plan A? She is perfect for the show … likable, very talented and due for a major comeback. American Idol gave Paula Abdul a huge comeback … folks hadn’t seen or heard from Paula for years before she popped back onto the pop culture radar as an AI judge. Shania has been out of the spotlight for years as well … she would be perfect for American Idol … particularly because she was so good on the show last season as a guest judge. Fox, sign Shania now! Trust me, she will be the crown jewel of any AI judging panel.
1) That picture JLO posted just shows what a Diva she is! Really, like we care about all the expensive jewlery you have.
2) Shania is a way better fit. She is genius!!
3) This show will be off the air in a few years so it doesn’t matter who is the judge. I bet they change up the set up of the show too!
Yeah, posting a picture of all your jewelry is a little disgusting
@Mr G – few years? i give this show one more season tops.
Shania is a much better option for Idol. I can’t believe what a diva JLO still is! You would think with JLO’s career as lame as it is right now, she would drop the diva act and change her ways.
Don’t fret J. Lo, we all know that your wealth greatly exceeds your talent or compassion, no need to prove that. I’m more interested in proof of social awareness and responsibility? Tweeting pictures of a diamond collection that could house and feed multiple families in a time where so many have been displaced by natural and economic disaster shows zero class or compassion. She’s always got her head in her money, or maybe just her money-maker which would be her massively over-rated ass.
I would enjoy Shania. I never wanted JLo.
Shania makes much more sense than any other name that they have dropped so far.
JLo has not done anything musically relevant since 2001.
That is so tacky of JLo. Blech.
@Kasss – YES.
I think im the only person in the country who watches JUST the auditions…then i get bored with it lol
Yeah…definitely a tacky pic…
@Kasss You hit the nail on the head. Well said!
Maybe she should sell all that jewelry and donate the money to families who don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Bitch.
