Jinnifer Lopez |
Fox reality show American Idol 10th season has just ended crowning Scotty McCreery but there rises a question that whether Jennifer Lopez would sign up as a Judge for the next season that starts in January. The 41 year-old singing superstar has boosted ratings and attracted rave reviews since joining eight months ago.

Lopez in American Idol 10th season |
Unlike her fellow Judge Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson who signed a multi-year contract, Lopez signed only a single-year contract for a rumored $12 million. She has earned significantly less money from the show than fellow judge Steven Tyler who will return through the 11th season alongside original judge Randy Jackson. Tyler reportedly raked in $18 million for the first season alone.

"It's too early to tell," said Lopez but Fox chief Peter Rice said earlier this week "We loved having her -- the hope and expectation is she'll return." �The format is so strong,� Rice said. �Ultimately, we needed credibility in the judges. We needed them to want to be there and to be entertaining. We needed chemistry among them, and I think they gave us that in spades. It�s been a fantastic season.� Rice said that Fox and �Idol� worked hard not to replace Cowell, who departed at last season�s end, because the network knew that Cowell would return with �The X Factor� this fall. The Judging trio will be in place and we will have another American idol for 11th season.
