It's beginning to look and sound a lot like Christmas! The 15th Annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center event will feature two reality show judges, but we doubt they'll be putting up their dukes and battling, since holiday cheer and spirit will be in the air.

Nigel Lythgoe, producer of 'American Idol' (and just about every other FOX reality show), insists that smackdown between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj was very real and wasn't conjured up by the publicity-hungry suits at the network. Not because they'd never do such a thing, but because the timing is way off.

A while back, there were murmurings that some diva-licious sparring was already happening between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj on the set of 'American Idol.' At the time, the public was given a gentle pat on the head and told that no, none of those rumors were true so we should just run along and play because, really, Mommy and Daddy still loved each other so everything was fine just fine. But now

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.

If you ask Mariah Carey, two divas can fit on one panel, thank you very much. The multi-octave legend has dismissed rumors of a beef with fellow newly minted 'American Idol' judge Nicki Minaj as nothing more than nonsense.

Now that it has been officially announced that Nicki Minaj will be joining 'American Idol' as its newest judge, we thought talk about the singing reality show would die down a bit. But boy, were we so wrong.

Mariah Carey and her pals in Maybach Music Group helped kick off the NFL season last night (Sept. 5) in New York City. Mimi performed her new single ‘Triumphant’ in Rockefeller Center as the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys suited up across the river in New Jersey for the first game of the season. But our gal was “fashionably late.” Wait, what?

We at PopCrush present to you another exciting edition of Kelly Clarkson‘s ‘Kelly Covers…’ ! Girl, for real, we can barely keep up. As usual, Clarkson’s covers are frickin’ phenomenal. Is there anything this girl can’t sing?

It was announced  a month ago that Mariah Carey would become a judge on ‘American Idol‘ for its upcoming season, filling one of the seats left vacant by former judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. People may still be recovering from the shock of the announcement, but ‘Idol’ winner Jordin Sparks thinks Carey will be a great fit.

In hindsight, Mariah Carey‘s video for her floundering single ‘Triumphant (Get ‘Em)‘ is prophetic. Mimi gets in the ring and metaphorically, she won’t back down or give up without a fight.

Mariah Carey and a fur coat-wearing Rick Ross cheer on Meek Mill, who takes the ring as a boxer in a preview of Carey’s latest video, ‘Triumphant (Get ‘Em).’

Football fans and music fans will both delight in this news: No Doubt will join Mariah Carey in a pre-game performance to kick off the NFL season!
