Is American Idol Dumping Jennifer Lopez Already?

Wow. Has Jennifer Lopez been eliminated by American Idol before she ever even took her seat on the judges' panel? Not even William Hung got the hook so fast!

Lopez was reportedly a candidate to join Idol as a replacement for Simon (and most likely also Kara) but talks have quite possibly collapsed. Here's the latest:

According to a People.com source, plans to hook up Jenny from the Block with American Idol collapsed because—wait for it—J.Lo is kind of a diva. According to the source, "Her demands got out of hand...Fox had just had enough."

Network Fox and production company Fremantle Media both replied to request for comment with a big, fat...wait for it..."No comment."

American Idol seems to be having a hard time getting butts in seats at that judges' table. After letting go of Paula Abdul, and losing Simon Cowell  and Ellen DeGeneres, only original judge Randy Jackson is rumored to be sticking around. Fox had hoped to have contracts in place before meeting with reporters at least week's Press Tour, but told us that no deals were in place yet.

 Kara DioGuardi also reportedly has been let go, and according to her dad, New York state politician Joe DioGuardi, she's not totally thrilled with how it's been handled so far. He told Capital Tonight,  "Would you believe that she did not hear and still has not heard anything? She read it the way you did and I did. In fact, her disappointment is that's the way she's being treated, and she feels that's not proper."

Now with So You Think You Can Dance's Nigel Lythgoe back on as an executive producer, perhaps he can give her a courtesy call?

As Randy Jackson told us last week, "The only thing that's for sure [about the upcoming 10th season] is Ryan [Seacrest]. Nothing has been decided...If Jennifer Lopez is a judge I would be very happy. I love her." Somewhere, a dawg is howling with sadness.

Did you think Lopez and Idol were a good match? Are you disappointed by this turn of events, or do you prefer your Lopez recording albums and shooting movies? (eonline.com)

Montana Fishburne: Could Johnny Depp Movie Be Next?

While ya may not think Montana Fishburne's decision to jumpstart her Hollywood career by starring in a hardcore porn film was the best route to take, she may be on to something.

She recently told E! News she's wants a career like Sasha Gray, an adult film star who's recently been finding a load of mainstream success.

On that note, we give you five porn stars who could also prove to be inspirations for the 18-year-old celebrity spawn. Hey, ya never know, but she could end up working alongside the likes of Johnny Depp, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh and hitmaker Kid Rock, among others…

Sasha Gray: The star of such adult fare as Sasha Grey's Anatomy, House of Sex & Domination and Teenage Whores, Gray began her career just four years ago at age 18. Not only is she a regular on the current season of Entourage, but two years ago, she starred in Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh's indie flick, The Girlfriend Experience. She also reportedly studied theater acting from age 12 to 18.

Riley Steele: After making her porn debut two years ago in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, she'll soon be seen starring in the Weinstein Company's upcoming summer thriller Piranha 3D opposite Elisabeth Shue and Jerry O'Connell. And, as we were the first to tell you, one scene shows her making out with Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr.

Jenna Jameson: Known as the "Queen of Porn," Jameson has gone from appearing in XXX-ers like Up and Cummers 10 and 11 to becoming a brand herself with various non-porny products sold at high-end retailers like Colette and Saks Fifth Avenue. She's voiced an animated version of herself in Family Guy and has appeared in various video games, including Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Not only has she debated at Oxford, but her 2004 memoir, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale spent six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List.

Traci Lords: Arguably the porn star to have the most mainstream success, Lords has also lashed out against her adult film career, insisting she was coerced into it from a very early age. She reportedly appeared in 100 films before she was even 18 years old. Even so, her post-porn career includes appearances in Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, Melrose Place, the Francis Ford Coppola produced sci-fi series First Wave and most famously playing Wanda Woodward opposite Johnny Depp in director John Waters' Cry-Baby.

Ron Jeremy: Known for his unusually large manhood, Jeremy is one of the few male porn stars who have had some mainstream success. While he's listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as "Most Appearances in Adult Films" for the 2,000 films he's performed, he worked as a consultant on 91/2 Weeks and Boogie Knights. He's appeared on television shows like Family Guy and  Nash Bridges and went on a date with Kathy Griffin during the third season of My Life on the D-List. He was seen on the big screen in Ghostbusters, The Rules of Attraction and plenty of low-budget indies like One-Eyed Monster, about a killer alien that takes over his signature body part. He's also popped up in music videos by Kid Rock, Guns N' Roses, Everclear, Moby and Sublime. Like, Jameson, Jeremy spoke at Oxford in 2005. (eonline.com)
