Report: Jennifer Lopez to accept $12 million for American Idol judge job - American Idol Apocalypse

Jennifer Lopez to accept $12 million for American Idol judge job but some of her other "diva" demands were refused by FOX.

She better be worth it.

I'm still excited for next season - specially since it's the American Idol Apocalypse!

From Deadline:

EXCLUSIVE: I've learned that Jennifer Lopez had been negotiating for a guaranteed "go" motion picture and TV pilots at Fox to accompany an asked-for $15 million American Idol judging paycheck. But the powers-that-be who produce Idol -- Fox, Fremantle, and 19 Entertainment -- balked. It was her manager Benny Medina (whom she once fired) who first orchestrated the meeting with the Idol producers in June, and, by the end of July, J-Lo accepted the offer to be a new Idol judge. Since then, she, Medina and her producing partner Simon Fields have been trying to milk the gig for all they could get from the movie studio and broadcast network/television programmer to further her stalled career in the film/TV area. One bargaining chip they had, I can report, is that Simon Cowell already asked JLo to be a judge on the U.S. version of his The X Factor when it debuts on Fox in Fall 2011.
