News: Nicki Minaj Analyzes Gucci Mane's Problems: "He Really Needs To Center Himself" [Audio] Monday, Apr 22, 2013 4:45PM Written by Cyrus Langhorne Young Money star Nicki Minaj recently weighed in on the controversy surrounding former comrade Gucci Mane and said despite his lovable personality, he could definitely use some guidance in his life. In Nicki's perspective, the industry version of Gucci Mane is plagued with issues and is unwilling to take responsibility for his own faults. "So, it's like I separate Gucci the artist from Gucci the person. Gucci the person is a sweet, loving, carefree, funny, hardworking dude. And so I never really paid attention to anything he said," Nicki explained. "In terms of intervention, I think about how talented he is and I kind of wish there was somebody that could step in and say 'Gucci, if you only knew how special you were. You would take a moment to really just get centered.' I just think he real

April 19, 2013 by Giselle Morris Just when you thought it was over, the battle of the American Idol divas continues. On Wednesday nights episode (Apr 17), which just so happened to be divas night (LOL), Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey went back and forth over a disagreement about contestant Kree Harrisons performance of She Talks to the Angels by The Black Crowes. Apparently, Nicki thought it was Krees best performance of the night, but the Idol hopeful didnt get the same cosign from Mariah, who clearly did not agree with Nicki think it was her best performance. After a bit of tussling back and forth Nicki continued on with her critique of the performance and told Mariah OK, simmer down sir as Mariah calmly chuckled it off. Hey, at least their speaking to each other now! Baby steps, people. Baby steps. Nickis shade-filled comment towards Mariah Carey wasnt the only notable part of the night though. As the episode aired, Nickis outfit went viral on Twitter because fans thought it was b

Nicki Minaj wore a revealing outfit on "American Idol" Wednesday night, while sparring with co-host Mariah Carey. UPI/Chris Chew License photo Published: April 18, 2013 at 2:29 PM By KATE STANTON, UPI.com Nicki Minaj's stint as an "American Idol" judge has mostly been characterized by her tension with Mariah Carey and her tendency to slip into a faux-British accent, but it was the diva's eyebrow-raising dress that had Twitter buzzing during Wednesday night's show. One Twitter user thought the garment looked like a Dsquared2 dress, on sale here for $865. Minaj also laid into Carey over contestant Kree Harrison's "She Talks to Angels." When the two bickered over the quality of the performance, Minaj turned to Carey and said, "Simmer down, sir." Watch the moment below: 2013 United Press International, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Was Nicki Minajs American Idol outfit a little too hot for TV? The singer was criticized on Twitter last night for wearing a tight red dress that highlighted her cleavage. American Idol is considered a family show on Fox and many people thought that Minajs outfit was a little inappropriate. One user wrote : Nicki Minaj needs to reevaluate her outfit of choice tonight. Someones about to get flashed. Yikes. Another added : Nicki Minaj, your outfit is disgusting. Of course, the producers on American Idol didnt bring Nicki Minaj on the show to just sit there and be a polite and perfect judge. They brought her on the show because she brings a steady stream of controversy (and conversation) to American Idol. In addition to wearing the skin tight outfit last night, Minaj also managed to sling a few insults at her rival Mariah Carey. After a brief argument, Minaj told Carey to simmer down and then added, sir. Minaj and Carey have been feuding since they started taping this season of Americ

Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Mariah Carey appear on "American Idol." AP Watch it there, Nicki. This season, the audience has embraced Nicki Minajs unique critiques (and style) as she sits on the American Idol panel, bringing a young, new perspective to the judges table. But last night she may have lost some fans when she seemingly insulted music great Mariah Carey during the show. The jab came when the two Idol women argued about contestant Kree Harrisons performance of She Talks to Angels. After Minaj said she disagreed with Careys critique, Carey fired back, I disagree with your disagreement. OK. Simmer down, sir, Minaj quipped back. Her reply was met with some gasps and a few laughs from a surprised studio audience. And some fans on Twitter had a similar reaction. Why does Nicki Minaj try to start [with] Mariah like she 60x better than you will ever be, one user wrote. [Nicki Minaj] need[s] to show some respect to Mariah Carey. Like at least respect each oth

" American Idol 's" Season 12 contender Angie Miller paid a touching tribute to Boston on Wednesday night's show.

WATCH IT NOW: Boston Marathon Tragedy: Hollywood Reacts Angie paused, seemingly taking a brief moment of silence, before saying, "This is for my hometown of Boston ."

"American Idol" is under way on Fox. Each of the five singers will perform two songs tonight. The first theme is "the year you were born" and the second theme is "divas." Here's what's happened so far. Yikes, Nicki Minaj is popping out of her dress tonight. Round No. 1 is "the year you were born." Candice Glover kicks off the night with Paula Abdul's "Straight Up." She changes the arrangement and makes a cool, jazzy version of the 1988 song. She gets points for creativity and versatility. But is it a crime to say I wanted more? Yes, it's a sweet throwback tune. However, simply changing a song's pace does not make you the best singer ever. The arrangement doesn't allow Candice to deliver the big notes that really separate her from the rest of the pack. This isn't on the level of Candice's performances from last week. In a post-performance interview, Jimmy Iovine agrees with me. Yippee! Keith: "That w
