Nicki Minaj + Mariah Carey Confirm the Obvious: They’re Leaving ‘American Idol’
In case anyone had any doubts, both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj confirmed their exits from 'American Idol' last night (May 30).
In case anyone had any doubts, both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj confirmed their exits from 'American Idol' last night (May 30).
There have been rumors that producers planned for one diva (Jennifer Lopez) to oust another (Mariah Carey) on the 'American Idol' judging panel mid-season in a desperate attempt to boost sagging ratings. However, the latest consensus is that it was J. Lo who contacted Fox, and not the other way around. That's a pretty (J) lo(w) blow and an affront to Mimi, no?
Nicki Minaj stopped by 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' on Monday (Jan. 14), where she dished on her feud with 'American Idol' co-judge Mariah Carey.
Seems that feud (or publicity stunt, depending on your level of cynicism) between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj isn't over just yet, because during a 'Nightline' interview with Barbara Walters, Mariah threw major shade at her fellow 'American Idol' judge.
Meow, indeed.
Every time I watch "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" I always say how much I love the house band "The Roots." This band is pure awesome. I keep meaning to pick up a few songs to use during my show. I mean these guys have a tuba in the band! How awesome is that? Well, it's pretty awesome
Remember those rumors of a feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey on the 'American Idol' judging panel? Both ladies denied any drama, but it looks like they may have been lying. New video has emerged of Minaj flipping out at Mimi, and though both the women are gorgeous, this footage ain't pretty.
Good news for 'American Idol' fans! The official list of judges has finally been released. Who will grace the stage?
Technically, Jennifer Lopez said this before Mariah Carey was announced as being a judge. But still, let's pretend that J.Lo was speaking directly to Mimi.
I remember a few days ago that Nick Cannon was asked about the possibility of Mariah Carey going over to American Idol. He pretty much said it would cost twice what Jennifer Lopez was making. So now it seems that Fox has ponied up the money.
‘American Idol‘ sure is looking to fill the heels, er, judging spot, vacated by Jennifer Lopez, with someone bigger and better! The show is reportedly thisclose to replacing one diva with another in the form of Mariah Carey. O to the M to the F to the G. The five octave Carey as an ‘Idol’ judge? So much for those rumors that ‘Idol’ was planning to downsize for Season 12. Producers are shooting for the stratosphere if they close this deal.
As Nick Cannon continues to recover from mild kidney failure, Mariah Carey is passing along good news about her husband’s progress. “Nick is in stable condition with a good prognosis, hopefully he’ll be discharged within 2 days,” she tweeted today. “As always he’s laughing and in good spirits.”
Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon finally revealed “dem babies” — that’s Moroccan and Monroe, AKA ‘Roc n’ Roe’ — on last night’s episode of ’20/20′ with Barbara Walters. We didn’t meet the precious pair until the last minute-and- a-half, so if you’re busy, hit the fast-forward button on the video attached.
