If you were hoping that Jennifer Lopez might return to American Idol, you may be disappointed with her revelation on this morning's Today Show.

When asked if she'll be returning as a judge next season, JLo responded:

    “I’ve loved it so much. I’ve enjoyed the show so much. I enjoy just the whole process of the show … It’s a tough decision either way, but I have to say there are so many things I do that I put on hold for that. It’s a heartbreaking decision if I have to go. I am thinking that it’s time for me to go."


Doesn't mean she's 100 percent out. She added:

    "All I can let you in on is my own thought process with it because that’s where I truly am … I love everybody, I love all the guys on the show, I love the family that’s there … but I am thinking it’s time for me to go and do other things I love to do."


Ms. Lopez is currently on tour with Enrique Iglesias.
