American Idol bosses are coming to Nicki Minaj’s defence over claims by Mariah Carey that she threatened to shoot her.

It’s only the second day of filming American Idol and there are already reports of hair pulling and heel throwing. Well not really and the post title is a stretch, but Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are allegedly feuding on the show.

Ryan Seacrest just confirmed on his facebook page that rap superstar Nicki Minaj will join the American Idol judging panel next season.

Something about Randy Jackson’s get up is odd to say the least. The American Idol Judge turned up with fellow judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and host Ryan Seacrest for tonights showdown at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California.
