Jennifer Lopez returning to American Idol!

Jennifer Lopez is returning to American Idol!

According to Hollywood Life, the actress is will be back for next year’s season of the hit TV talent show because she’s collaborating with the creator of Idol on her new show and the money would be hard to turn down.

“She knows what Idol has given her, but she also knows how to work it to her advantage. She’s been around the block, so to speak before and knows how to negotiate,” a source said.

“I’d estimate there’s a good 80%-90% likelihood of her returning as judge next season.”

Lopez who raises 3-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with husband Marc Anthony recently admitted she’s a zero-makeup kind of mom.

“That’s when I’m my happiest,” she says.

“Just being able to touch my face and rub my eyes and put my fingers in my hair and not having to worry about messing it up. It’s so much better.

“The thing is, it’s part of my job. I don’t want anybody thinking it’s easy. It does take time and it’s hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody’s friend!”
