Visto bueno. La actriz y cantante Jennifer López volverá como jueza de la nueva temporada del programa American Idol.
Nigel Lythgoe, productor del reality, anunció la noticia en el programa radiofónico de Ryan Seacrest, quien, además, repetirá como presentador del espacio.
“Estoy encantado de anunciar que los tres jueces estarán de vuelta la próxima temporada”, comentó Lythgoe.
La intérprete de I’m Into You se une así a los nombres ya confirmados de Randy Jackson y Steven Tyler como jueces para la undécima edición del programa.
Sin embargo, la participación sobre López todavía debe ser anunciada oficialmente por representantes de la cadena FOX.
De acuerdo con la publicación especializada The Wrap, el nuevo contrato de la artista le aseguraría un salario de $20 millones por su papel como jueza.
La participación de López en el espacio televisivo ha ayudado a levantar el rating del programa y ha impulsado las ventas de discos y la popularidad de la cantante.
Las emisiones de American Idol comenzarán en enero.
