Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez outside the American Idol studio last week. I didn’t care for her whole look (the dress is House of CB, a London label), but whatever. Jennifer tried. Jennifer always tried to make her clothes, hair, makeup and styling a big part of her American Idol gig. But it wasn’t enough to save the show! As CB discussed yesterday, American Idol’s next fifteenth season will be its last. I kind of thought the show would go on forever, but I guess not. As it turns out, Idol wasn’t making as much money as it once was, and Fox is focusing on more scripted television, which is interesting. I’m hoping that this is a harbinger of a larger sea change away from mind-numbing reality show competitions, specifically singing competitions.

But it’s not all bad news for Jennifer – concurrent with American Idol’s cancellation, Jennifer was just announced as the new lead in an NBC drama Shades of Blue. She’ll be playing “a single mother and New York cop who is forced to work with the FBI and must betray her own on-the-job brothers.” J.Lo doing a proper network drama? That might be sort of interesting. And Jennifer doesn’t come with the baggage of someone like Katherine Heigl (whose NBC show died a quick and brutal death). I think J.Lo might be able to make it work.

And here’s one more piece of J.Lo gossip – she’s still a total idiot when it comes to love. She posted this Instagram yesterday for Man Crush Monday. STOP CALLING HIM BEAR.
