Nicki Minaj Soon To Be Named One Of The New Judges On American Idol
It looks like Mariah Carey may finally have some company at the “American Idol” judges’ table.
As has been widely rumored, Nicki Minaj will soon be announced as a new judge on the FOX reality series, multiple sources have reportedly told Us Weekly.
Despite no official confirmation from “Idol” or FOX, one source said the outlandish “Super Bass” singer is “100% confirmed” while another told the mag Nicki is “definitely doing it.”
In addition, a source who spoke on condition of anonymity told the Associated Press that a deal between Nicki and “Idol” was in the works.
Reps for FOX and Nicki were not immediately available for comment on the report when contacted by Access Hollywood on Monday.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Mariah Carey was officially announced as a new “Idol” judge in July, during the FOX presentation at the Television Critics Association summer tour in Beverly Hills.
“I am so excited to be judging ‘Idol,’” Mariah said through FOX boss Kevin Reilly’s speakerphone during the presentation.
Also rumored to be joining the judges’ table for the upcoming season is Nick Jonas – who not surprisingly has the backing of fellow Jonas brother Joe.
“I hope so… I think he would be great at it,” Joe Jonas said last week on Access Hollywood Live, when asked about the possibility of Nick joining “Idol.”
Nick, himself, also confirmed he was a potential candidate to fill the empty judge’s seat.
“The rumors are true… I am being considered to be a judge on American Idol, and it would be a dream come true if it happens,” Nick Tweeted on August 4.
The incoming stars would replace the departed judges – Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez – on the show.
There has been no comment from FOX yet on the fate of original judge Randy Jackson, although it’s been rumored he may step away from the judges’ table and take on a mentor’s capacity on the show.
Season 12 of “American Idol” debuts this winter on FOX.

Janet Jackson Is Still Very Determined To Get Michael Jackson's Will Changed
Janet Jackson's management team has made it clear in a new statement that the singer is still questioning the “veracity” of brother Michael Jackson’s will. But why is Janet now saying something is wrong now, three years after the will was probated?
“No one can understand why she is doing this,” a Jackson insider tells me. “Even if Janet got the executors fired and new ones instated, all the money would still go to Michael’s three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket. The executors took the estate, crippled in debt, and have made a fortune for the children. It almost seems that she's trying to take the money away from his kids."
And that is exactly what several Hollywood insiders have said is at the root of all these problems: Are the three kids really Michael's and if they are not, should they be getting the King of Pop's millions?
A statement posted on her website says Janet has nothing to gain financially by finding the will to be invalid. Confirming that Michael’s children are the beneficiaries of his estate, the statement says the people who have the most to lose are “the executors and those on the executors' payroll.”

Mariah Carey's New Single, Triumphant Is A Billboard Flop
It was titled Triumphant, but the only thing triumphant about Mariah Careys new single is the name as its deemed a complete fail. In the first week, Triumphant sold just 23,000 downloads. The comeback song did not even crack Billboards Top 100, coming in at 115.
I wish that all these artists would stop thinking that just because they put a member of MMG on their track that it's gonna be a definite hit. C'mon people make it a hit whether there's a feature or not. If you haven't heard the track listen below:
Lauryn Hill Turns Down The Possibility of an Oprah One on One Interview
Oprah has interviewed everyone from Michael Jackson to President Obama, but there’s one celebrity who has evaded her. According to the media mogul, Lauryn Hill turned down an offer to sit down with her.
Following her revealing interview with Rihanna for “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” one of O’s Twitter followers asked her to get Lauryn Hill on her show, but the elusive superstar was not interested. “Tried. She said no,” tweeted Oprah.
Winfrey has scored exclusive interviews with Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina, 50 Cent, the Kardashians, and Paris Jackson for the latest season of her OWN program.
Another star who’s not quite ready to have a heart-to-heart with Oprah is Beyoncé. While the private singer appeared on her daytime talk show several times, she has been reluctant to say yes to an in-depth interview. “See if you can convince Beyonce, I haven’t had luck yet,” Oprah told one fan.
The embattled Fugees frontwoman is facing three years behind bars after intentionally failing to file tax returns in 2005, 2006, and 2007. She will be sentenced in November.

Exclusive: Ochocinco Arrested for Brutal Head Butt To Wife Evelyn Lozada-Johnson
Yesterday, Chad Johnson (better known as Ochocinco before he changed his name back), was arrested for domestic violence after he allegedly head butted his new wife Evelyn Lozada. According to NFL.com, the two got into an argument while driving home from dinner after Chad found a receipt for a box of condoms belonging to Evelyn [Update: There are conflicting stories on this..the Davie Police chief has been quoted as saying that it was Evelyn that confronted Chad over a receipt she found for a box of condoms]. The cops were called and when they arrived, Evelyn had a nice sized laceration on her forehead. Chad told police that he and Evelyn accidentally knocked heads, however he was arrested and she was taken to a nearby hospital.
As of now, Chad is still in jail and is not eligible for release until a bail hearing is set which could be as late as Monday.
The couple were married on July 4th and are set to appear in a Basketball Wives spinoff show ‘Ev & Ocho’, complete with a wedding special, which will premiere in September.
Meanwhile, VH1 producers are probably trying to figure out how to spin this. You couldn’t make this type of stuff up.
Hopefully this was all an accident. In the 12 years that he has been in the NFL, he has never been arrested.
As of this morning, Chad has been released on a $2500 bond and ordered to stay away from Evelyn until this is resolved.
Meanwhile, here is a little bit more clarity on exactly what happened via CBS News:
Allegedly, the argument between Johnson and his wife started in their vehicle when they were returning from dinner. Lozada apparently found a receipt for a box of condoms, and as they argued, Lozada told police that Johnson head-butted her, causing a laceration that needed to be treated. Johnson told police they accidently knocked heads.
“It gets pretty heated,” Davie police captain Dale Engle told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. “By the time they get home here in Davie, it’s pretty heated. She alleges he leaned over and head butted her. He says she leaned towards him and that they butted heads. Needless to say she has a good laceration on her forehead.”
Looks like someone is finally gonna beat Kim Kardashian to divorce court!! Watch Ochocinco's court hearing video below:
