Jennifer Lopez is making a comeback on the next season of American Idol as one of the judges. According to reports, her new contract amounts to a whopping $15 million.

The 44-year-old pop star has been an Idol judge in the show’s season 10 and 11 and was outseated by Mariah Carey and Nikki Minaj in season 12 earlier this year.
