Just after rumors saying 'American Idol' was cutting its entire panel hit the internet, Randy Jackson confirmed what all his dawgs already knew: He's peacing out after this season.
What about the ultimate polarizing judge, Nicki Minaj? That's a little murkier.
Mariah Carey might not be the only one out of a job at 'American Idol.' If one report is to be believed, the show plans on doing some serious housecleaning during which all four judges will be axed in an attempt to quell the program's bleeding ratings.
Nicki Minaj keeps poking at the sore spot that is fellow 'American Idol' panelist Mariah Carey, this time by posing with rumored replacement judge Jennifer Lopez at last night's Met Gala.
'American Idol' judge Mariah Carey is rumored to be fed up with her ongoing feud with fellow judge Nicki Minaj, who called the singer "bitter" and "insecure" on her Twitter account following a brief tiff on the show on May 1.
However, if she does bail (she won't bail), it won't happen before she's had time to promote her new single. That would just be silly.
The 'American Idol' feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey is still going strong -- and now gossip-blogger Perez Hilton has been pulled into the catfight.
Led by rap mogul Russell Simmons, over 100 celebrities -- including Will Smith, Susan Sarandon, Scarlett Johannson, Jennifer Hudson and Nicki Minaj -- have signed a letter urging President Obama to overhaul America's drug laws.
Love her or hate her, Nicki Minaj is regarded as arguably the best judge on 'American Idol' for season 12, giving insight beyond that of legendary multi-octave diva Mariah Carey.
But that doesn't mean Minaj necessarily wants to do this ever again.
Nicki Minaj has made no secret that she thinks she has multiple personalities -- she often raps using her dissociative voices -- and now she's putting them to use on camera.
Minaj interviewed herself for an ELLE video, and it's safe to say this girl hates journalists. (Dude, what'd we ever do to you?)
Nicki Minaj was scrubbed down for an ELLE magazine make-under, and she reported feeling a bit exposed as a result. Apparently those nipslips in the past were no match for a lack of wigs and dramatic face paint.
After doing a Nicki Minaj song for her TV show 'Glee,' actress Jane Lynch showed off just how adept her rap skills are on the March 4 episode of 'Conan.'
When urged to perform an encore of Minaj's hit 'Super Bass' (which will appear on an upcoming episode of 'Glee'), Lynch did not disappoint, immediately launching into the first verse for Conan O'Brien and his delighted audience.
