Rumors have been swirling around Jennifer Lopez‘s return to the American Idol panel, and now we’ve got another report suggesting an announcement is nigh. Deadline reports that the singer is about to finalize a deal to come back for season 13 of the show for a solid $15 millon. Earlier this month, FOX confirmed that Keith Urban would be the only judge from season 12 to return, and last week Yahoo! spoke to an inside source that said JLo and will.i.am would join the country singer on the show.

Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert and Kelly Clarkson were all previously thrown into the judging mix before the idea was eventually thrown out, perhaps related to the ouster of executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick.

Despite rumors, Lopez did not confirm she would be heading back to American Idol anytime soon. She repeatedly said “I don’t know” and asked the question “Do I really want to go back and just sit there?”

“Now, with all the talk, it’s the same kind of consideration,” elaborated Lopez. “Do I want to sit there again or do I want to keep going with what I’m doing? And the truth is, I’m not a TV personality. I’m a singer. I’m a dancer. I’m an actress. I’m an entertainer. I need to entertain. When I’m watching them up there, I’m thinking about what I’m going to be doing next, do you know what I mean?”

Lopez stressed that despite her need to entertain, that it was hard for her to walk away from American Idol because she “loved the people.” But, for a girl who started off dancing and treats everything she does now like learning a complicated new dance step, Lopez might just love being onstage more. Her tour really drove that home in her psyche.

“I realized how much I love performing,” mused Lopez. “It’s funny, I think when a wardrobe assistant or a make-up artist has to come up onstage, they do this freeze thing and I realized how natural it is for me to be up there and how not natural it is [for them].”
