Former 'American Idol' judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler were dumped from the show rather than walking away on their own accord, according to reports.
Hollywood trade paper The Wrap revealed that the stars were shown the gates when the negotiations couldn't be materialised, Radar reported.
According to an insider from tabloid, Lopez was paid 12 million dollars and 15 million for her first and second season respectively. The singer's reps demanded 17 million dollars for the third season, but the network "surprised her" by not making a counteroffer.
However, things didn't even get that far with Tyler. The Fox simply didn't pick up the'Aerosmith' singer for another season.
Meanwhile singer Randy Jackson's future on the show is uncertain but promising. Two top Fox execs, Peter Rice and Kevin Reilly, reportedly want to make a clean sweep of it.
After the constantly falling ratings, they want to give the show a complete makeover with just host Ryan Seacrest returning.

- Queen B 2012/07/15 15:20:38UndecidedAt this point, does it really matter? American Idol is on its way off the airwaves.reply
- Gloria 2012/07/15 15:07:54UndecidedRandy, Steven, & Jennifer are great together. Maybe they just want too much money. Maybe Tyler & Lopez are too famous & distract from the show. I don't watch it that much. It's a little bit annoying until the really good singers are left.reply

- cathy.k... john 2012/07/16 12:23:44I admit I have watched the show for 7 years. It is very addictive and I love to see amateurs have a chance at a music career. Unfortunately J-Lo. Steven and Randy became cheerleaders and did not critique the contestants at all. I found that very frustrating.reply
- john cathy.k... 2012/07/16 12:41:54what you have to remember is that the public pick who stays and who goes and the judges only need to cast an opinion that does not upset the contestants,i have not watched it for four years except bits as my wife watches it and i have heard randy make some harsh comments...the sooner it goes off the betterreply
