Jennifer Lopez Denies IDOL Exit Rumors

AMERICAN IDOL judge Jennifer Lopez denied recent speculation that she will not return to the judges table when the FOX singing competition returns next season.

Yesterday, Lopez posted on her Twitter account, "There is no truth to reports that say I am definitely leaving Idol. All I said was I haven't decided what I am doing next year." She later added, "When I know for sure what I'm doing I will let the #LOVE!RS know!""

Lopez is set to kick off a summer concert tour with Enrique Iglesias that will take her throughout Latin America and the U.S. The tour will launch worldwide this fall and will last through the end of 2012. The upcoming auditions for the next season of Idol will take place while Lopez is still on the overseas leg of the tour.

Fox has not commented on Lopez's future with Idol, but a source close to the show tells E! News that "Fox does not want to let her go. They love her." This season of Idol is the second for Lopez whose Season 1 salary of $12 million jumped to a mind boggling $20 million this season.
