Jennifer Lopez is still negotiating a big payday to return to American Idol. While J.Lo negotiates the final touches of a deal said to be worth up to $20 million, to return to “Idol” for another season, the nature of the talks have made her fellow judges restless, prompting fellow judge, rocker Steven Tyler, to want a raise.
According to the NY Post, Tyler is already tied into a two-year deal worth about $10 million a year.

“Steven is halfway through a two-year deal, and his management has asked for more money,” a source said. “They argue he was just as sensational and as popular on the panel as Jennifer. But, on the other side, show bosses argue he’s tied into a deal and has to stick to it. However, it’s hoped they can come to a compromise to keep Steven happy, because the producers love him.”

It is also being reported that while the money end of the deal has been hammered out, J. Lo’s final negotiations center around scheduling her “Idol” appearances around her other TV and movie commitments.

What do you think – should Steven Tyler get a raise?
