Jennifer Lopez might be making a return to American Idol much to the dismay of Mariah Carey.  There are rumors that Fox execs are hoping that bringing J. Lo back to the show to replace Mariah would give the current season a much-needed boost in the ratings.

Although some news outlets were reporting that Mariah’s people threatened legal action which killed any chance of the judge-swap, TMZ claims the network has actually gone as far as approaching Lopez about it. While no deal has been made, Fox is scrambling for a solution since last week’s episodes had the worst ratings the show has seen since its debut in 2002.

Deadline.com is reporting that this was something that Fox considered doing about a month ago but ultimately decided it would seem desperate and damage the Idol brand.  (Pulse of Radio)
