"American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest says he doesn't have a problem with the drama that went down between newly -named judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.

New "American Idol" judge Mariah Carey shot down reports of feuding between her and fellow new judge Nicki Minaj during a press conference in New York Monday.

Word has it that Katy Perry turned down a multi-million dollar deal to be a judge on "American Idol".

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.

Nick Jonas has confirmed via Twitter that he is indeed in talks to join "American Idol".

Snoop Dogg, or rather Snoop Lion, is jumping on the ‘American Idol‘ bandwagon, adding himself to the list of possible new judges for the hit FOX series … kind of.

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!

We still can’t get over the fact that the No. 1 diva herself Mariah Carey has agreed to be a judge on ‘American Idol.’ Of course, with a price tag of $18 million, we’re not terribly surprised, but we have a sneaking suspicion she agreed because she feels the need to compete with veteran competitors like ‘X Factor‘ judge Britney Spears and ‘The Voice‘ judge Christina Aguilera.

Mariah Carey is set to rake in big bucks on ‘American Idol.’ Exactly how big?

Mariah Carey has officially joined ‘American Idol‘ as a judge for Season 12, which kicks off in 2013. Congrats not only to Carey but to Fox on this major, major coup. While it seemed that producers had a challenge on their hands in trying to find a suitable A-list replacement for the departing Jennifer Lopez, they outdiva-ed the diva with this addition.

Money talks, and while Mariah Carey hasn’t commented on the ‘American Idol‘ rumors, her doting hubby sure has. Nick Cannon flat out said that Mimi doesn’t come for cheap.
