A source has claimed that the &amp;#039;On the Floor&amp;#039; singer wants a payday that outdoes that of Britney Spears&amp;#039;s $15m (\u00A39.6m) X Factor deal.    &amp;quot;J.Lo and American Idol are striving for headlines. Along with it being &amp;#039;strictly business&amp;#039;, she is also for sure wanting more money than Britney Spears to return,&amp;quot; the insider told Hollywood Life. &amp;quot;She is not signed for next year but nothing is better in [executive producer] Nigel [Lythgoe&amp;#039;s] eyes than people talking about American Idol and who the judges will be all summer. Look what it did with The X Factor!&amp;quot; Lopez&amp;#039;s alleged demand follows a report that emerged earlier this week, stating that Spears reportedly insisted her X Factor salary be higher than Lopez&amp;#039;s before signing on for the series. The 42-year-old mother of two recently said that she is uncertain about her future on American Idol, though she insisted that she loves her role as a judge.
