Jennifer Lopez, who has been a judge on American Idol for just one season, may not reprise her role next season on the show. Since she started working as a judge, she has released a new album ( titled ‘Love?’)  and is also working on launching her own Latin talent show, and as well as that, may even be appearing in a new movie. Jennifer says she hasn’t been asked to decide yet, and is still on the fence about it:

“I don’t know, I don’t know (whether to go back). I haven’t been forced to make a decision (yet) and I’m glad about that because, honestly, I’m very on the fence about it.  I had an amazing time doing it and I loved it, but I have a lot of other things happening. It’s going to come down to making a choice of what I want to do for the next year. We’re not really at the breaking point of like, ‘You have to make a decision right now!’ – so I’m not. I’m enjoying the time of just waiting.”

Jennifer admits she may be appearing in an upcoming film which would start filming later this year:

“Yes, I’m thinking about doing one (a film) actually in September. I’m heavily into it, deciding. I miss acting – I did TV this year, I did the Idol thing, I’ve been working on my music for two years and so I haven’t done a movie in a minute and then you realise two years have gone by since a movie. I really, really miss it. I wanna get back to it really soon.”

Will Jennifer return? Who will they replace her with if she doesn’t? More importantly, will the public get bored of a quickly worsening panel of judges? Britain’s X Factor are at the stage where they’re begging D-Listers to do the show – let’s hope American Idol don’t let it go that far. Sometimes it’s better to pull the plug.
