"Jennifer Lopez has clarified reports suggesting that she will definitely leave American Idol. The &amp;#039;Dance Again&amp;#039; singer said during an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres&amp;#039;s talkshow earlier this week that, in spite of how much she enjoys working on the show, she feels that such a commitment can &amp;quot;lock you down&amp;quot;.  [American Idol judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler with former contestant David Cook (second from right)] Lopez wrote on her Twitter page after Thursday (May 17) night&amp;#039;s semi-final results show: &amp;quot;There is no truth to reports that say I am definitely leaving Idol. All I said was I haven&amp;#039;t decided what I am doing next year. #mediaremix (sic). &amp;quot;When I know for sure what I&amp;#039;m doing I will let the #LOVE!RS know! #FYITweets.&amp;quot; Lopez currently sits on the judging panel with Randy Jackson and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, having originally signed up for the show&amp;#039;s tenth season last year. She will embark on a joint North American tour this summer with Enrique Iglesias. The American Idol finals take place on Tuesday, May 22 and Wednesday, May 23 at 8/7c on Fox.
