Wow, That Was Fast! Jennifer Lopez Removed From 'American Idol' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Wow. Has Jennifer Lopez been eliminated by American Idol before she ever even took her seat on the judges' panel? Not even William Hung got the hook so fast!

Lopez was reportedly a candidate to join Idol as a replacement for Simon (and most likely also Kara) but talks have quite possibly collapsed. Here's the latest:

According to a People.com source, plans to hook up Jenny from the Block with American Idol collapsed because—wait for it—J.Lo is kind of a diva. According to the source, "Her demands got out of hand...Fox had just had enough."

Network Fox and production company Fremantle Media both replied to request for comment with a big, fat...wait for it..."No comment."

American Idol seems to be having a hard time getting butts in seats at that judges' table. After letting go of Paula Abdul, and losing Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres, only original judge Randy Jackson is rumored to be sticking around. Fox had hoped to have contracts in place before meeting with reporters at least week's Press Tour, but told us that no deals were in place yet.

Kara DioGuardi also reportedly has been let go, and according to her dad, New York state politician Joe DioGuardi, she's not totally thrilled with how it's been handled so far. He told Capital Tonight, "Would you believe that she did not hear and still has not heard anything? She read it the way you did and I did. In fact, her disappointment is that's the way she's being treated, and she feels that's not proper."

Now with So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe back on as an executive producer, perhaps he can give her a courtesy call?

As Randy Jackson told us last week, "The only thing that's for sure [about the upcoming 10th season] is Ryan [Seacrest]. Nothing has been decided...If Jennifer Lopez is a judge I would be very happy. I love her." Somewhere, a dawg is howling with sadness.

It's not her I don't care for, it's that stupid Jenny from the Block moniker that makes me want to cringe.

It's dumb because she tries to act like she's just the girl next door when she's actually a huge diva with a big attitude. And she's the one who gave herself the diva title, she certainly never earned that privilege.

Very true. She has a so-so (if that) singing voice and a string of mediocre movies. The only movie/role of hers I really liked was Selena.

Oh good, Jennifer Lopez is out of American Idol, nothing will keep American Idol as the #1 network TV program in the Nielsen Ratings for a seventh year. One American Idol ratings burial coming up.

Yeah, she's a mediocre singer and actress, yet has a mile-long list of demands every time she performs or makes an appearance somewhere.

It seems like Fox and Fremantle have left JLo with her "pants on the ground"!
