J.Lo Reveals Why She Almost Didn't Do 'Idol' Again

J.Lo Reveals Why She Almost Didn't Do 'Idol' Again

Though Jennifer Lopez just recently confirmed that she would, in fact, be returning for the new season of American Idol, the judge says there was a time at the end of last season that she wasn't so sure.

"I got a little bit tired at the end with everything going on in my life at the time," says Lopez, whose announced in June that she and husband Marc Anthony were divorcing after seven years of marriage.

Appearing at a press conference for the show in Savannah, Ga. Thursday, the "I'm Into You" singer says she realized that Idol was "one of the best things I've ever been involved with." Lopez also credited working with the aspiring singers and host Ryan Seacrest, as well as fellow judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler, in helping her make her decision.

I was like, 'Okay, I'm gonna do it again,'" she says. 

Earlier this month, Idol's executive producer Nigel Lythgoe revealed the news that Lopez would be prettying up the judges' panel once again, for season 11.

While appearing on Seacrest's radio show, Lythgoe said, "I am delighted to say that all three judges, along with the brilliant host of American Idol is back for the next season."

While we're sure Jen really does love her job over at Idol, we can't help but think that her significant pay raise had a bit to do with her decision, as well. Last week, The Wrap reported that Lopez will be making more than $20 million for her work on the show -- about $8 million more than she made last year.

Yeah, that may have had something to do with it.

Taylor Armstrong Allegedly Beaten So Badly She Needed Plastic Surgery

Taylor Armstrong was allegedly beaten so badly that she had to hid for weeks and needed plastic surgery. This story just keeps getting worse and worse. The news of Russell Armstrong?s death was very sad, especially that he took his own life. But the more details that come out surrounding the life he led, allegedly of course, before his last days are horrific. Apparently the Real Housewife, who spoke out about domestic violence, was living that same life. Russell allegedly beat her so badly back in June that she ended up needing plastic surgery. RadarOnline reports, ?Russell hit Taylor in the face so hard she had to go to Cedars Sinai hospital in June. The damage to her face was so extensive that she spent days in the hospital and had to have a plastic surgeon give her reconstructive surgery to repair what Russell did to her.” It seemed that when she spoke out about domestic violence on the show last season that she was hiding a pain much greater than past abuse. I am sure the past brought up some emotions, but if she was keeping the fact that she was still being abused a secret and trying to [...]

Justin Bieber Fans Nearly Crush Chelsea Handler, In 'VMAs Revealed'

Learn how an army of Beliebers almost mauled the 2010 VMA host on 'VMAs Revealed,' airing Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

It seems that Justin Bieber can't so much as step outside without inciting a riot of considerable magnitude, so it was to be expected that his performance at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards — supposedly a secret song-and-dance routine set outside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles — would probably attract some attention.

But VMA producers had no idea just how out-of-hand things would get — or how close VMA host Chelsea Handler would be to being mauled by Justin's army of Beliebers as a result. It was all thanks to one harmless tweet by JB himself, as we learn in "VMAs Revealed," a new behind-the-scenes special set to air this Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

It all started before the VMAs, during Bieber's rehearsals. Producers planned to have Handler exit the theater and take a spot at the front of the stage, holding a sign that read "Chelsea hearts Justin." Everything was going swimmingly until an army of Bieber fanatics got wind of things.

"Out on the Nokia Plaza, they were rehearsing Justin Bieber's performance," MTV News VP Ryan Kroft explains in "Revealed." "[And] if you sort of stopped and paid attention, out comes Chelsea Handler in curlers."

Of course, on the night of the big show — after Bieber had tweeted about "free tickets to [his] VMA performance" — things changed. The Nokia Plaza was positively packed with screaming Bieber fans, who didn't take kindly to Handler's intrusion — and they let her know by crowding up against a barricade, nearly crushing her and sending all plans out the window.

Producers never quite got a good shot of Handler and her sign — "I think you can see her sign bobbing around, you just can't see her head. She should've worn the curlers," Kroft said — but luckily, she escaped serious bodily harm. And the true Beliebers ended up being happy too: Not only did they get to see a once-in-a-lifetime performance from their idol, but Bieber would go on to win the VMA for Best New Artist later that night.

For more backstage stories from the 2010 VMAs — like Rihanna's wig mishap, Lady Gaga's unforgettable meat dress and 30 Seconds to Mars' unconventional white-carpet arrival — tune in to "VMAs Revealed" this Saturday at noon ET on MTV.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live on Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for your favorites in the general categories by visiting VMA.MTV.com.
