Master Negotiator J. Lo in Talks For a $26M Vegas Residency

Jennifer Lopez might be headed to Las Vegas for a residency. TMZ’s angle is that her salary per performance is higher than that of Britney Spears, which wouldn’t be much of a surprise since J. Lo and her people are evidently aces at negotiating.

According to an alleged contract that landed in TMZ’s inbox:

Jennifer is being offered a whopping $350,000 per show at The Axis, Planet Hollywood … the same place Britney is performing.

Britney is making a paltry $310K a show. But Britney will ultimately score more than J. Lo because her contract provides she’ll do 96 shows over 2 years. J. Lo will do 72 shows, 3 times a week for 24 weeks over a 1 or 2 year period — the contract leaves that open.
