JLo to bag 21m pounds for American Idol?

LONDON: Singer Jennifer Lopez will reportedly get 21 million pounds to return as a judge for the US version of "American Idol".

The "On The Floor" hitmaker, who split from her husband Marc Anthony earlier this month after seven years together, will reportedly get the amount to reappear alongside fellow judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson on the singing reality show, reports the Sun newspaper.

"We're in good shape. No worries. No dark clouds on the horizon," said Cecile Frot-Coutaz, chief executive officer at FremantleMedia North America, which produces the series.

The 42-year-old singer received 8 million pounds for her role on the programme last year.
