Jennifer Lopez on American Idol, Marriage to Marc Anthony: Tiring!

It may not have been evident based on her energetic, steamy performance on the season 10 finale of American Idol, but Jennifer Lopez now admits:

She was exhausted, personally and professionally, this spring.

"I got a little bit tired at the end with everything going on in my life at the time," J. Lo told reporters in Savannah, Georgia yesterday.

The singer was on hand to address season 11 of Idol and confirm that she, Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler would all be returning to the judges' table.

Referring to the gig as "one of the best things I've ever been involved with" Lopez said she did need a bit of time to settle her divorce from Marc Anthony and psych herself up to return but then "I was like, 'Okay, I'm gonna do it again.'"

Millions of viewers are very happy she arrived at that decision.

American Idol - American Idol Stunned As Favourite Is Eliminated

American Idol contestant Pia Toscano was eliminated from the competition last night, despite being heavily tipped to become this year's American Idol champion, reports Abc News.

As host Ryan Seacrest announced Toscano's name, the 'Idol' audience shouted "no!" and the judges looked stunned. Steven Tyler told the American viewers that their "lack of passion was unforgivable" while Jennifer Lopez appeared to be on the verge of tears. The 41-year-old R&B star said that she was angry and speechless and Randy Jackson echoed the comments. Despite the furore, Toscano accepted the decision but became teary when talking about how her deceased grandfather had inspired her 'final song'. The 22-year-old proceeded to sing 'Stand By You' and received a stand ovation from the live studio audience. Before her departure, the New Yorker had been compared to the likes of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. She received unanimous praise for her rendition of Tina Turner's 'River Deep, Mountain High' on Tuesday's show and was assumed to be safe from elimination.

The shock elimination now leaves the door open for contestants such as Casey Abrams and Paul Mcdonald to take this year's American Idol crown.
