In the end, Spears got $15 million, about $5 million less than Lopez is rumored to have hauled in for her recently wrapped second 'Idol' season. TMZ's spies insist J.Lo actually made less, however, and what's more, diminished ratings might mean a lower paycheck offer next season.
If Lopez can't get Britney-level cash, will she bail on "Idol?" That remains to be seen. Even fellow judge Steven Tyler isn't sure what the singer, dancer and actress will decide.
"I asked her the other night onstage," Tyler said in an interview with TMZ. "Her response? 'I don't know.'"
