It's time to tear it down and start all over on 'American Idol.' With Season 12 experiencing the lowest ratings in the show's history, producers are planning to clean house and start anew with a totally reveamped judge's panel for Season 13. They plan on ditching dueling divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, as well as country crooner Keith Urban and the lone original judge Randy Jackson, who incide

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?

Paul Jolley was the latest contestant to be sent packing on season 12 of 'American Idol.'

Not a single, solitary episode of 'American Idol' Season 12 has aired yet and it's already rife with plenty of Nicki Minaj-generated controversy. Forget Mariah-gate. That's so last month. Steven Tyler has already offered a response to Minaj's pointed accusations that he's a racist (due to comments he made about her judging ability). The former and current 'American Idol' judge had a bit of a spat

When I heard Nicki Minaj was going to be on American Idol, I have been wondering what kind of judge she was going to bee and how she would fit in on the show. Now we have a little taste of things to come on this American Idol Promo. Nicki isn't just going to be all nice as the promo shows, she has a Simon Cowell side to her as well...

Have you SEEN the new promo for Nicki Minaj on American Idol? It's insane! She looks amazing and highly engaging. I bet Mariah is PISSED!!!

It's cool, dawg. Randy Jackson is back as an 'American Idol' judge!

After weeks of speculation on who would take a seat next to diva-of-all-divas Mariah Carey on the revamped ‘American Idol‘ judges panel, it looks as though reigning rap royalty Nicki Minaj will be joining the show. Whoa. Mariah and Nicki? On one panel? That’s enough diva in one room to make the earth stop spinning on its axis.

Is ‘American Idol‘ about to put a rapper on its judging panel for the first time? While Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams are among the artists being considered for the show’s last vacant judging slot, Page Six is adding a new name to the mix — Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Monday, I got the chance to talk to reigning American Idol Phillip Phillips! He was a total sweet heart and with the US Women's Olympic gymnastic team using his song Home, it has shot up to #1 this week on the iTunes singles chart!

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.
