Jennifer Lopez riles Ryan Seacrest

The feud between Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest is hotting up! As previously reported on Showbiz Spy, the American Idol host and the TV talent show’s newest judge began a power struggle over everything from dressing rooms to which star gets top billing.

And now, according to a new report in American tabloid the National Enquirer, Lopez and Seacrest are arguing over their paychecks.

Ryan banks a whopping $15 million a year, while Jennifer reportedly has a $12m package that sees her get a salary boost whenever Ryan gets a raise.

“Ryan hasn’t confronted Jennifer, but when he heard her future raises were tied to his raises, he was furious,” a source said.

“A big component of Jennifer’s deal is that if Ryan gets a raise, it automatically triggers a raise for her. Basically, her contracts are hard-wired so that when Ryan makes more money, she’ll make more money.

“He doesn’t like his salary being dragged into her contract negotiations, and he’s upset about her tactics. But as far as Jenny and her people are concerned, there’s no question she’s the bigger star.”
