As American Idol season 10 bids farewell yesterday, Jennifer Lopez's future as judge on the show might end there too.
Fox News reports that Lopez, who has boosted ratings and attracted rave reviews since joining eight months ago, seems uncertain whether she'll come back for the show's 11th season.

The FOX big-wigs were wise enough to have Steven Tyler, who secured his spot as the fan favorite, sign a multi-year contract that will ensure he returns for the 11th season alongside original judge, Randy Jackson.
A source also overheard the Aerosmith rocker happily confirm Wednesday that he’ll be back for another round. (Based on the rumors that he earned $18 million for the first season alone, it’s no wonder he’s enthusiastic.)
“They can’t get rid of Tyler, he’s the new Paula,” reality television and pop culture expert Mikey Glazer told FOX411's Pop Tarts.
But Lopez, who signed for significantly less money (a reported $12 million), isn’t so sure of her future.
“It’s too early to tell,” the 41-year-old told FOX411.
Lopez is believed to be in negotiations with the network, and an offer is said to be on the table.
"Everyone has multiple year contracts; Jennifer had single year contract, we loved having her, the hope and expectation is she'll return," FOX Chief Peter Rice earlier this week."
