Jennifer Lopez Returns As Judge On ‘American Idol’ For $17.5 Million

Jennifer Lopez has signed on as a judge for the upcoming season 13 of American Idol for a whopping $17.5 million, this is according to MailOnline.

“There was a lot of back and forth negotiating on her salary, but now it’s finally been settled that Jennifer will earn $17.5m to go back to Idol next season,” their sources say, adding, “It’s a major coup for her to land a huge payday like that and I believe she is thrilled with that number. It’s a lot more than the $15m Britney Spears was paid to do The X Factor.”

By the way, Jennifer must be a tough negotiator if she topped the Princess of Pop’s salary and we can only hope that with Jenny back on the block, it will work out this time around.
