The 41-year-old singer has previously revealed that she 'on the fence' when it comes to returning to the talent show for a second season, and according to PopEater, show execs are already thinking about replacements.
'Right now the star of American Idol is Steven Tyler,' said an insider. 'Everyone thought after Simon (Cowell) announced he was leaving that [Lopez] would fill the void. How wrong were they? It's all about Steven, who's already signed on for season 11.' J-Lo is believed to have been paid $12million for her one-year deal with Idol, but has stated that she is unsure whether to go on tour, star in a movie or return to the programme.
