Jennifer Lopez, American Idol Season 10 | featured news

Jennifer Lopez isn't sure "American Idol" viewers will be calling in for finalist Haley Reinhart. Lopez said the bluesy 20-year-old college student from Wheeling, Ill., didn't dial up her best performance with Blondie's "Call Me" from "American Gigolo" on the Fox talent competition's evening of film tunes Wednesday. The show's lone female judge was reluctant to criticize Reinhart because every eliminated finalist has been a woman this season.

The judges are extremely unhappy with the “American Idol” voters for their decision to send Pia Toscano home on Wednesday. “I’m shocked. I’m angry. I don’t even know what to say,” J.Lo ranted, faulting the voters for failing to read her mind and discern which of the nine heavily praised finalists she loved better than others.

The new crew looks like it will do two things: have more fun than the group did a year ago, and keep the Fox lawyers up at night worrying that Steven Tyler will do something that gets the network sued.

The singer was rumored to be close to finishing a deal, but according to People.com, she's out. “Her demands got out of hand,” a source told the magazine. “Fox had just had enough.”

Ellen DeGeneres is dancing off "American Idol" after one season and Jennifer Lopez is poised to step in.
