Jennifer Lopez denies replacing Paula Abdul on American Idol

Tweet

The fate of Paula Abdul on American Idol is still in a limbo but suddenly a rumored name emerges that will replace her, it's Jennifer Lopez.

But before JLo fans rejoice! The 40 years-old singer-actress is denying the reports.

Jennifer's rep. tells PEOPLE, “The rumor of Jennifer Lopez throwing herself in the ring to take over for Paula Abdul is completely false. Jennifer loves Idol but just as a fan. She just wrapped the feature film The Back-Up Plan, due out January 2010, and will release an album then as well.”

Do you remember what Simon Cowell said recently, "I don't get a lot of say. I've just made it clear that I want Paula on the show."
