Jennifer Lopez Gets $12 Million for Idol
Tags: American Idol, contract, deal, Jennifer Lopez
“American Idol” just put the final nail in its Nielsen coffin: they wrote Jennifer Lopez a check for the equivalent of the Gross Domestic Product of Burundi to replace former judges Ellen DeGeneres and Kara Dioguardi. Us Magazine says:
Jennifer Lopez is getting $12 million to serve as an American Idol judge next season.
On Monday, a source told Us that Lopez’s deal was set.
After a long negotiation process, “it ended up working out and they have a good agreement,” the source said.
She joins longtime Idol judge Randy Jackson and newcomer, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.
Only she’ll actually be paid in real American dollars, not dried chicken feet and HIV-positive orphans. When referencing the GDP of Burundi, I find it’s important to make that distinction.

That’s $12 million too much–if it’s true.
