American Idol Britney Spears Jennifer Lopez Simon Cowell X Factor

April 4th, 2012

Reality Weekly claims the producers of “The X Factor” are “chasing after American Idol’s Jennifer Lopez in hopes that she will jump ship” and join its singing competition show.

According to the tab, the “X Factor” team knows “they are going to have to top the $20 million [Lopez] gets on Idol,” but that’s OK with them, since the mag says “money is not an issue.”

So, is this really going to happen?
