Jennifer Lopez was named as a new judge on “American Idol” on Wednesday (September 22).
The “Back-Up Plan” babe will join fellow rookie judge Steven Tyler when the next season of the hit FOX talent show gets underway.
Denying rumored diva-like demands during negotiations, Lopez said, “After as many years as I’ve been in this business, I’m used to that kind of stuff. I’m used to speculation.”
She continues, “I was calming the FOX people down. I was like, ‘Listen, it’ll be gone tomorrow. Once they hear who we are and what we’re doing, it’s going to be fine. Don’t worry about it.’ I was just looking forward to getting started.”
