‘American Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez is launching her own entertainment reality show.
Lopez is teaming with husband Marc Anthony — and her new boss, “Idol” creator Simon Fuller — for “Q’Viva! The Chosen,” which will showcase “Latin music, artistry and dance” and will be shot in 21 countries in North America, Central America and South America.
Lopez and Anthony will be featured on the show as mentor/judges, sources say. It’s not yet known if there will be a host (or hosts).
Lopez and Anthony will travel this summer to scout talent for the show, which will be simulcast on several networks.
Lopez will complete her first year on “Idol” in mid-May.
“They’re working around JLo’s ‘Idol’ schedule,” an insider said.
“Q’Viva!” will air in three languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese. The broadcasting outlets and airdates have yet to be announced, but more specific information will be released in mid-May.
Lopez has a production deal with Fox as part of her “Idol” deal.
“This is a show for the 21st century with an unprecedented global and local story,” Lopez said in a statement. “The Latin culture is a tapestry that is rich in passion, tradition and artistry.
“We are going to places where all of this talent lives and wouldn’t have otherwise been discovered.”
