Jennifer Lopez told her American Idol buddy Ryan Seacrest this morning that she's officially leaving the show. J Lo confirmed her exit from Idol on Ryan's radio show this morning. Jennifer's been a judge for two seasons, compared to Ryan's 10 years as host. She said, "I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do — that I put on hold because I love Idol so much . . . we had an amazing run." One of the things Jennifer prioritizes is her relationship with Casper Smart. Things are going great between them, and he even shared a picture of him and Jennifer at the beach. He tweeted yesterday, "Me and the Bear [Jennifer] wake-boarding in Long Beach. Got up her 1st try." Jennifer's announcement comes just after her fellow judge Steven Tyler also said he's no longer going to be a part of the Fox program.

Oh no that was the best decision she ever made, A.I. revived her career, heaven knows what will happen now that she's moved on, I hope her career don't go back down the tubes now that she's leaving the show. I really wish her the best in whatever she plans on doing next. I'm gonna miss seeing her in the spotlight. She did very well for herself and made alot of money.

I'm glad Jennifer is moving on. She made a lot of money and did well on Idol but I'd like to see her do more serious acting roles. At first I thought Idol was a really bad idea but it did kind of revived her career.
