LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jennifer Lopez is the second judge in two days to say she's leaving "American Idol." Her representative, Mark Young, said Friday that Lopez is ending her time on television's most popular show after two years. Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler said the same thing on Thursday. Lopez broke the news to "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. "I really was dreading this phone call with you," she told him. "I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do that I've put kind of on hold because I love `Idol' so much." That means the show's judging panel is down to one, Randy Jackson, and there are reports that he may take a different role on the program moving forward.
