Jennifer Lopez Is Coming Back to Scripted Television

American Idol might have been canceled, but Jennifer Lopez is not going anywhere. NBC has confirmed that J Lo will be starring in a new police drama called Shades of Blue, premiering midseason this year. Jennifer will star as Detective Harlee McCord, a single mother working undercover for the FBI. The show also stars Ray Liotta, Drea de Matteo, Vincent Laresca, and Warren Kole. Eva Longoria's telenovela spoof Hot & Bothered will also be premiering around the same time and on the same channel.
