A source tells E! News that Lopez is “just too busy” to continue with Idol

Similarly, an insider who spoke to Us Weekly says, “There is just too much going on for her right now.”

Lopez told Ellen DeGeneres this week that she is unsure of her Idol future in part because she has four-year-old twins to consider.  She also has a summer tour with Enrique Iglesias on the horizon.

Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is keeping his fingers crossed that Lopez will commit to another season of the show.

He tells TMZ.com, “We want her back.  I want her back.”
