LOS ANGELES, July 26 (UPI) -- Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez has no intention of becoming a judge on "American Idol," her representative told People magazine.

In an exclusive article, the representative told People that reports of Lopez replacing "Idol" judge Paula Abdul on the popular FOX-TV talent show were not true.

"The rumor of Jennifer Lopez throwing herself in the ring to take over for Paula Abdul is completely false," the unidentified representative said. "Jennifer loves 'Idol' but just as a fan."

Reports of Lopez's potential involvement in the popular TV series began after the 40-year-old singer was seen having dinner with "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest earlier this month.

"Jennifer and Paula would be a hell of a combination," Seacrest reportedly said.

Abdul has reportedly not yet been offered a contract to continue with the popular talent competition.
