Jennifer Lopez is expected to serve as judge on "American Idol" for a second season, a producer for the singing competition series said Wednesday.
The singer-actress is to serve alongside Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler on the judges' panel for Season 11, which kicks off in January.
"I believe we're still waiting for the official announcements but I am delighted to say that all three judges, along with the brilliant host of 'American Idol,' is back for the next season," The Hollywood Reporter quoted producer Nigel Lythgoe as saying on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show.
Seacrest is also host of "Idol."
The entertainment industry trade newspaper said Lopez earned $12 million on the show last year and has been lobbying for more money, possibly as much as $35 million a year, to return.
Lopez is filling up her calendar with movie work as she works her way through her divorce from Marc Anthony, a source told People magazine.
"She is very relieved to be out (of the marriage)," the source told People. "I don't think she is sitting around crying or making the wrong decision."
Lopez has been in Atlanta filming "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and is also apparently close to signing up for a second season as a judge on "American Idol," People said.
The Hollywood Reporter said J-Lo also is committed to co-starring with Nick Nolte and Jason Statham in "Parker," which will be released in October 2012.
"She is all about her career," the source told People. "She's excited to move on."
