Jennifer Lopez Officially Exits American Idol

Jennifer called into On Air with Ryan Seacrest earlier today to discuss the release of her new film, Ice Age: Continental Drift. Of course, the majority of their conversation revolved around American Idol, and whether or not Jennifer would be back for another season. Jennifer became emotional talking about the difficulty of her decision, saying “It’s really going to be hard for me to go. It’s one of those special things in your life that you just don’t want to walk away from.”  But, ultimately, Jennifer has made the decision to move on:

“I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things I do that I’ve put, kind of, on hold because I love Idol so much…I have a lot of other responsibilities… and I have to pay attention to that, too[…]I feel like we had an amazing run […] No matter what you guys need over there, I’m always going to be here[…] I feel there’s that tie there. I just don’t know if I can be there every single day, all the time, like they way it has been the last two years.”

Fox has yet to release a statement. We’ll keep you guys posted!

JLo On The Today Show!

Jennifer Lopez appeared on TODAY this morning to promote her newest movie, Ice Age: Continental Drift! She talked about her character, Shira, whether or not she’s going to sign up for another season of American Idol, her world tour, and US tour with Enrique Iglesias.

In reference to the Idol rumors, Jennifer said:

“It’s been on my mind a lot, as you can imagine. You know, I signed on to ‘American Idol’ to do one year, and … I wound up doing the two years. And now it’s like, ‘OK, do we continue on this journey?’ I’ve loved it so much. I enjoy the show so much. I enjoy just the whole process of the show and the whole thing. So it’s a tough decision either way. But I have to say that there are so many other things that I do, and that I put on hold for that. At the end of the day, whichever way, it’s a heartbreaking decision if I’m going to have to go.”

Jennifer covered a lot of ground in this interview, so check it out above!

Celebrating 10 Years of BB JLove!!

We are 10 years old!!! It is CRAZY to think that the site has been online for 10 years now.

To put it in perspective, back in 2002, Jennifer released J to the L O! The Remixes and This is Me…Then, Enough and Maid in Manhattan hit theaters, and her first perfume, Glow, was released! In the past 10 years, Jennifer has released 5 albums, 21 singles, 10 movies (not including What To Expect When You’re Expecting, Ice Age, and Parker, which will all be released in the next 8 months), 19 perfumes, and a million other things! It’s exciting to think about all that she has accomplished and how much we have accomplished, as well!

BB started as a message board dedicated to dozens of famous female celebrities, but Jennifer was always the star! After a few years, we changed gears and became a dedicated JLo fan forum. Over the years we grew and expanded into the #1 JLo fan community with a fansite, message board, and Twitter.

We’ve had over 125 million views, 1 million+ posts, tens of thousands of BBJLovers, thousands of dollars raised for charity (CHLA and BGCA), 4 successfully delivered fanbooks/online projects, a one on one interview with Queen JLo herself, and several exclusive opportunities for fans to get up close and personal with Jennifer! We’ve had an amazing run, and we can’t wait to continue topping ourselves!

THANK YOU to all of the JLovers for visiting and hanging out with us for all of these years and to Jennifer and her team for supporting us throughout the years. Jennifer, you are a true inspiration.

Cheers to 10 more years!
