A little over a week after it was announced that Randy Jackson would no longer be a judge on "American Idol" it has been announced that he has been re-hired.

According to reports, Jackson was only hired back because "Idol" execs were not able to come to terms with singer Enrique Iglesias.

Jackson was paid a little over $2 million dollars for his spot on the show, his cheap price was a deciding factor on putting him back on the show.

He has not released a statement on the story.

This will be his 12th season on the show.
