Ever since it has been rumored that Nicki Minaj would be a judge on American Idol with Mariah Carey, TMZ has been saying that two would not get along. Well they finally got it right because yesterday they got their hands on a video of the two woman verbally fighting. It got so ugly that Minaj reportedly threatened to knock Mariah out, but sadly that was not caught on video.
After that confrontation between the two divas, the producers cancelled auditions for the day in North Carolina so that the two could cool down. No word yet from Idol, if the show go will on and if all 4 judges will be there.
If their fight was for real and not a ploy to get people to watching the ageing singing competition, I wonder if the producers will be able to keep both women on the show or if they will even want to work together. I mean it isn’t like Fox hasn’t replaced a judge between the audition rounds and the live shows before, so why wouldn’t they do it again now. Plus we already learned that the 4 judge format doesn’t work.
Here is what they were saying to each other in the video:
Nicki Get this s**t in self control. Get in control. Get in control.
Randy Settle down, settle down.
Nicki Don’t lose your head. Don’t lose your head (inaudible). Don’t tell me I’m a gangster.
Nicki (inaudible) every 5 minutes. So every time you patronize me, I’m-ma take it back, and if you’ve got a f**king problem, handle it.
Nicki I told them I’m not f**kin’ putting up with her f**king highness over there. Figure it the f**k out. Figure it out.
Mariah Oh why, WHYYYY .do I have a three year old sitting around me?
Nicki I’m not gonna sit here every f**king minute to have you come down and harass me every minute everyday.
Mariah I can’t see my kids, because you decided to act like a little crazy bitch and go all around the stage.
UPDATE: Keith Urban Tweeted the below picture and said “Gearing up for day 2 of @americanidol #idolauditions in Charlotte!” All I could think when I saw that picture is where is the bullet proof vest? The armor? What will we be able to protect himself with if he is caught in the middle of that not-so-friendly-fire again today? We need to keep Nicole Kidman’s husband alive.
Carem Electra might have appeared on the Fox dating show The Choice over the summer, but she landed one of the network’s biggest stars over the weekend on her own.
According to In Touch she did the X Factor with Simon Cowell. A source told the mag, “They were really into each other.†The source added, “At one point, they were talking real close, and he leaned in and kissed her. They started making out!†So what attracted him to the woman that has been married to Dennis Rodman and Dave Navaro, he said that he chose her guest on Britain’s Got Talent because “She has the best set of … teeth I have ever seen.†Who knew teeth was his thing? And is that thing? I thought guys didn’t like women to have teeth, you know for that one thing they like but never get as much as they want.
Simon Cowell is continuing his press tour for The X Factor and this time he is bringing Demi Lovato with him instead of Britney Spears. Yesterday the two of them were on Conan and they told the TBS late night host how they really feel about each other. Let’s just say if she wasn’t almost a third of his age, I bet the two of them would be getting married. Seriously am I the only who feels there is a sexual tension between them?
But it wasn’t only about Simon thinking she is annoying and Demi thinking he is a bit of an a$$hole, the King of Mean also talked about his rumored breakdown. He told Conan O’Brien that he decided to take six weeks off from the communicating with people and that was all. Bummer I was hoping for something more exciting, but I guess I can settle for his outrageous paparazzi picture that Conan shared with all of us! I bet even Demi thought he was being bratty.
American Idol started auditions today and before they did they finally announced who would be on their judging panel. We already knew Mariah Carey was joining the show, and today AI said her manager Randy Jackson, who is the original besides Ryan Seacrest to still be on the show, will be back again. But there are two new names on the panel and they are the people that have been rumored for weeks. In case you haven’t heard it will be Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban and they are not enough to get me to watch the show again.
Anyone who is over the age to audition for the show will think, why Nicki Minaj? She is the much less talented version of Lady Gaga, who can’t sing and is known for her outrageous looks. To me she brings no cred to the show.
Now when it comes to Keith Urban I know he has a lot of country hits to his name and that is he’s married to Nicole Kidman, but other than that I know nothing. He comes off as boring to me, so I am not sure what he will bring to the show.
When it comes to having four judges, I guess they didn’t learn it doesn’t work. It is too many people trying to get their opinions in and none of them will say anything worthwhile. Especially since I am sure Nicki, Mariah and Randy will all try to make sure they say they most.
If I were Mariah, I would be pissed because Fox blew a great opportunity. She was a good get, but the rest are not.
At least Fox still has The X Factor going strong, oh wait…
Tomorrow is start of American Idol‘s auditions with the judges, but will they have them? For months there have been rumors that Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas and so many others would be the ones replacing the departing Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, but so far only Mariah Carey is confirmed to do so. Over the last few weeks the list has dwindled down to three other names and they are Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and mainstay Randy Jackson. As of now Fox has not confirmed any of those three, but with the season to start filming tomorrow they might be ready to finally confirm something. Well at least that is what executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is thinking because he Tweeted, “I believe there is an official release tomorrow regarding the #IdolJudges? I do hope so as the auditions begin in the morning.” I am sure if things are not finalized in the next 24 hours, he would be more than willing to sit in the vacant chair until it is filled.
Personally I don’t care who they pick at this point, as long as they pick someone already!
