Desperate Times

JLo is the new American Idol judge!

..And suddenly the crowd goes silent.


-Well it's official folks, Jennifer Lopez is the next American Idol judge at a hefty price of US$12 million.

In what is said to be the singer's last bid attempt to salvaging her tanking career, Lopez agreed to replace comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres after the later said she was leaving Idol after only judging for a season.

Hollywood insiders are saying that the glam diva, who is used to the extravagant lifestyle, had earlier demanded from Fox, an overall deal that included a guaranteed movie, a TV development project and a US$15 million pay packet.

Fox, on the other hand countered with a US$12 million deal sans the movie and TV deal. “She has to be desperate for the money,” an insider said. “She said yes to the offer minus what she wanted. Times must be hard for her.”

Earlier this year, Lopez's movie The Back Up Plan raked in a meager US$38 million domestically, much lower than was expected.

No offence to JLo's fans.
And not that I dislike her, I actually love her dancing.
But, seriously, what can miss bootylicious do other than dance and sing?
And her singing career ain't a very good idea either.

Then, she went for acting.
Her movie, The Back Up Plan, was probably her back up plan for her dying career. (Oh, the irony)

And, recently adding to her resume, JUDGING.
I can't wait to see her in AI.

And by the way, what is wrong with American Idol lately?
All the changes are really confusing.

Kara came, Paula left, Ellen came, Simon left, JLo came, Ellen left..
And it goes on and on and on.

The only one remaining is Randy.

And don't get me started with the participants.
3 years of disappointing results.

David Cook, Kris Allen and the new dude who I don't know his name.

I'm a Kris Allen fan, but sad to say, Adam Lambert is WAY better than him.
Sorry Kris.

David Archuletta is like 10 times more famous than the Cook.
Thank god.
I'm an arch-angel (That's what people call his fans, I'm just following)

And the new dude..
OMG.
WHY?????
Seriously, WHY??????
Crystal should win, like, seriously!
She lost to that dude by a 2% margin.
WHY?????


Anyways, let's hope Jennifer Lopez brings luck to AI.
and let's hope (no, not really) that AI brings luck to JLo too.

*pray*

OH! And let's hope JLo is Really replacing Ellen, not Simon.

*pray again*

And if this new job isn't cut out for her,
she could always go back and be Jenny from the block.


Peace out, WORLD.
