Jennifer Lopez Drops F-Bomb Whilst Judging 'American Idol' - Live!

Jennifer Lopez was evidently mortified on Wednesday evening after dropping the F-bomb on live TV. Lopez was judging American Idol and got carried away when commenting on one of the contestant's performances.

Urban then began a chant of "hair flip" demanding Lopez repeat her action. At this moment Lopez accidently dropped the F-bomb which Connick Jr. made light of with a snide remark of "that's JENNY FROM THE BLOCK!" Lopez was evidently embarrassed and covered her mouth with her hand. Nevertheless, Lopez wasn't perturbed for long and continued complimenting Irene's performance.

Mostly media outlets and fans have seen Lopez's swearing as an accidental slip and have been far more forgiving to her than other celebrities who have suffered the same predicament. Gwyneth Paltrow was criticised by the press and fans after she called her grandmother the c-word whilst appearing on Chelsea Lately in 2011. Other celebrities who have sworn on TV include Sandra Bullock, Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks.
