Ja Lo is being paid an astounding $17.5m to return to
her post as judge on American Idol next season.
'There
was a lot of back and forth negotiating on her salary,
but now it's finally been settled that Jennifer will earn $17.5m to go back to
Idol next season,' a source told MailOnline exclusively.
'It's a major coup for her to land a huge payday like
that and I believe she is thrilled with that number. It's a lot more than the $15m Britney
Spears was paid to do The X Factor.'
In mid-August there were rumours that Jennifer, the mother of
five-year-old twins Max and Emme, was getting a $15m salary for her
third season of Idol, but the figure is actually higher.
The $17.5m salary is a big leap from the $12m paycheck J-Lo
was handed for her first season of Idol in 2011. For her second season she was
given a $3m raise to $15m.
It was reported last year that when Jennifer asked for another
$2m raise to come back for her third season the Idol producers refused and she
walked.
