Nicki Minaj

'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after 13 years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for season 13.

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.

If Nicki Minaj has seemed almost unrecognizable in the past few weeks, well, that's the point. Minaj has been revamping her look to be more vamp and a lot less tramp, and she ditched the entire team that brought her technicolor nightmare to life in the first place.

After a three-year partnership, Nicki Minaj's hair stylist (read: weave and wig stylist) has moved on to tease and spray fake Christmas tree snow on other celebrities who will allow him to properly express his art. Seems Minaj just didn't understand his deep dark wig-making soul.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj brought drama to the 'American Idol' auditions, but all they brought to their cover of The Hollywood Reporter was a lot of beauty. The ladies, accompanied by Ryan Seacrest as well as fellow judges Keith Urban and Randy Jackson, look stunning!

The white flag has been waved and the olive branch extended …we think! Nicki Minaj has opened up about her post-fight relationship with Mariah Carey, saying that they have been "fine" since the dust up witnessed 'round the world.

Let there be no doubt about whose side Stevie Nicks is taking in the war of words between 'American Idol' judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. In a new interview, Nicks calls Minaj a "little girl" and says she would have killed Minaj if the rapper had spoken to her the way she spoke to Mariah.

We knew this would be too much diva for one reality competition show panel.

The next season of the waning talent search show ‘American Idol’ began taping on Sunday, and after working their way down a long list of possible judges, the producers ended up with a panel that seems to include one too many divas -- and we can only hope the fireworks make it to air.

Good news for 'American Idol' fans! The official list of judges has finally been released. Who will grace the stage?

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.

Another Justin Bieber ‘Believe’ track is upon us, this time in the form of ‘Beauty and a Beat,’ featuring an assist from Nicki Minaj. It’s a dancey, swaggy club banger, with its uptempo pacing and party vibe. The road to ‘Believe,’ which drops on June 19, is paved with songs landing left and right!

Nicki Minaj brings her Pink Friday Tour to the UNO Lakefront Arena on July 27.

‘Super Bass’ girls Sophia Grace and Rosie were reunited with their heroine, Nicki Minaj, on — where else? — ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show.’ Ms. Minaj doled out advice as well as a special gift for the pint-sized pink enthusiasts.

‘Super Bass’ isn’t the only tune Sophia Grace Brownlee has hidden up her sleeve! The tutu-wearing 8-year-old made yet another appearance on her girl Ellen Degeneres’ talk show, and alongside her 5-year-old backup dancing cousin Rosie, the little Brit tore through Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Moment 4 Life’ without a single misstep.

Nicki Minaj is known for her crazy antics but her performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards Sunday night was simply weird. We should have realized that something strange was going to happen when she graced the red carpet as Little Red Riding Hood. WTF?
