In Touch Weekly has learned that in an effort to keep 25-year-old Casper Smart happy, Jennifer Lopez is about to undo the smartest career decision she ever made – and give up her job as an American Idol judge.

Jealous of all the time she was spending away from home – and with cute Idols like Phillip Phillips – Casper urged her to quit the plum gig and focus on their relationship instead. And remarkably, J.Lo is listening. Although Jennifer tweeted on May 17 that she hadn’t “decided what I am doing next year,” sources tell In Touch that the star has already informed Idol brass that she won’t be coming back next season.

“Casper would love it she would just chill out and travel with him,” explains a friend, adding that as ambitious as she is, J.Lo has also been overwhelmed – and he picked up on that. “She had her relationsip, music, movies, Idol and being a good mom,” the friend shares. “She loved being on Idol, but something had to give, so she took Casper’s advice.”

J.Lo’s closest advisers wish she hadn’t. most recall her career was in a lull before her Idol-inspired comeback.

“If anything should go, it should be Casper,” huffs the friend, who marvels at the increasingly important role Smart is playing in Jennifer’s life. “Everyone is annoyed that Jennifer is taking business advice from Casper.”

Jennifer’s friends worry that Jennifer has fallen too hard, too fast for Casper, and she barely knows him. An insider observes, “She’s a fool for love.”

“But Jennnnn,” Casper said, slumping his shoulders and pouting. “You always have to work. You never have time for me anymore. Jenniferrrr! Please! I want to go to Hawaii! Take me to Hawaii right now! God!”

That’s how I imagine that conversation went. I don’t think Casper told Jennifer that she’s been working too much, that he was concerned that she wasn’t relaxing enough. I think Casper threw a little hissy fit, and Jennifer got him a jet ski and told him to go play with his friends while she did some grown-up work.

Then again, maybe this didn’t even happen. Maybe Casper is upset by all these rumors that Jennifer Lopez won’t be returning to American Idol next year. If she lost that sweet gig, then what would happen to his allowance?

  • This woman comes of as the most needy, insecure person on the planet, try to be single for a while girl! She is always with a man and when she is she magically changes all her decisions. Even a blind person can see every man she’s been with so far is no good, and it makes her look like a fool.

  • She is a wishy-washy fool, with easy money.. someday these two things will collide and vanish and she’ll be sobering up a lot with reality..

  • Hahahaha I just read your Casper impersonation in the voice of Napoleon from Napoleon dynamite XD

  • Didn’t Marc ask her to quit Idol too? In any case, she should go. She already used the show to bring her dead career back. What else does she need it for?
