Jennifer Lopez announces she's leaving American Idol (AUDIO)

Today, only one day after Steven Tyler announced he is leaving American Idol, Jenniner Lopez just announced she will NOT be returning to "American Idol" next season.

I'll be honest, When Simon left American Idol, i remember thinking to myself "that show is OVER"... but then i caught a episode with Jennifer and Steven and i loved the chemistry with them, having them as judges was a great choice.

There has been unconfirmed rumors that Randy Jackson is leaving also... Ryan Seacrest makes $50 Million a year from American Idol, so i seriously doubt he plans on leaving unless they fire and drag him out the building.

TMZ Reports... JLo called in to Ryan Seacrest this morning, saying, "I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do." She said, "Something has to give" ... adding, "We had an amazing run." Lopez made the announcement a day after Steven Tyler bailed from the show. And there is a strong buzz that Randy Jackson may not be coming back either, leaving Ryan Seacrest the last man standing on the show, which has lost a third of its ratings in the last year.
