After Topping Forbes Top Celebrity 100 List, Is Jennifer Lopez Ready to Leave ‘Idol’?
A surprise victory. Jennifer Lopez lands on top of this year's Forbes Top Celebrity 100 List. But as she celebrates being the most influential personality in show business, rumors are spreading that this will be her last season for "American Idol."
It looks like J Lo is on top of her game as she makes it to the number one spot of Forbes' Celebrity 100 list. How did she do it? It seems like all the hard work to sell her fragrance line, clothing line and investing on technology start up has helped. This is probably her best year to date with a total of $52 million in earnings from last year and the fame brought about by being one of the "American Idol" judges.
Lopez is definitely one success story since a few years ago; her attempts to come back in the music scene flopped. She didn't make any movies and was rarely on TV. When she was offered the "Idol" judge seat, it was when she had turned her fame around.
But is J Lo ready to leave the show that has helped her resurrect her career? There are speculations that the singer will be leaving "American Idol" due to her busy schedule and her upcoming tour.
Although she hasn't publicly confirmed, a source close to the singer said that the singer is planning to make a swift exit. The 42-year-old singer/dancer will be having a high-profile concert tour with Enrique Iglesias which will start this coming summer in South America and the US.
In addition to that, the singer also plans to embark on a worldwide tour in Autumn which leaves her on the road until the end of the year. Given the said schedule, it would be difficult for her to do tapings. Lopez is also in consideration to taking a break next year to spend time with her twins Max and Emme who will soon be starting school.
"I don't know I enjoy it. I really do enjoy it. This is my second year. I don't know if I can go for a third year. I miss doing other things. It really does lock you down," the singer hinted on the possibility of leaving "Idol" during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
