Will Jennifer Lopez be returning to the judges table for the upcoming season of American Idol? Rumors have been swirling for quite some time, and today at the FOX TCA press tour, Kevin Reilly, the chairman of entertainment for FOX, confirmed that talks have been ongoing with Jennifer, saying,
“Jennifer has been a close part of the show all along…there have been discussions there. There is no deal with her or anyone else…We want some judges that are good at the job, that people like, that will refocus our attention on the contestants. We want some comfortable judges who make it comfortable to view and make it comfortable for the contestants.”
Reilly also confirmed that Keith Urban will be returning to the panel this season. Per a PEOPLE source, Jennifer is “very close to signing a deal with Fox to return to American Idol next season”.
