Jennifer Lopez‘s exit from American Idol has been floating around the rumor mill for a while, but it has finally been confirmed by JLo herself on Idol host Ryan Seacrest‘s radio show. “I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do,” said Lopez. “Something has to give.” Following Steven Tyler‘s announcement yesterday that he will be leaving the show, Idol will yet again have to reinvent itself behind the judges table. Season 12 of the show could end up bringing a whole new set of faces to Idol‘s judging panel because recently, it has been said that judge Randy Jackson, who has been on the panel since the show started, will also be leaving. Stars such as past Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, singer Mariah Carey and pop idol Katy Perry have all been suggested as possible replacements. ~Morgan Bates
