Can you guess which American Idol raked in the most money in 2012?  No, it's not William Hung.  And Ryan Seacrest doesn't count--but he probably made more than all American Idol contestants combined.

Watching American Idol for years, we expect the same formula when it comes to the open auditions of hundreds that hope for the golden ticket to Hollywood.  We have an interview of an interesting person-this one a fire performer and balloon animal maker-and we know where it's going.   Or do we?

Not a single, solitary episode of 'American Idol' Season 12 has aired yet and it's already rife with plenty of Nicki Minaj-generated controversy. Forget Mariah-gate. That's so last month. Steven Tyler has already offered a response to Minaj's pointed accusations that he's a racist (due to comments he made about her judging ability). The former and current 'American Idol' judge had a bit of a spat

Phillip Phillips, who expresses himself with his hands when he talks, spoke about a lot of hypotheticals during two separate interviews.

'American Idol' executives are denying that Nicki Minaj will be fired following her on-camera spat with fellow judge Mariah Carey-- and more details are coming out about the beef between the two divas.

- Nicki Minaj went OFF on Twitter today, refuting Mariah Carey's claims that Minaj threatened her with a gun on the set of 'American Idol.' Claws are officially out.

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.

The new divas of 'American Idol,' Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, were about to pledge their allegiance to 'The Voice' before 'Idol' came calling. Us magazine reports that the superstars were originally considering taking temporary chairs on 'The Voice' for one season.

The hunt continues to fill seats at the judges table for American Idol. Even through it looks like 'Idol' has landed Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, there is still at least one spot to fill before the executives at FOX can move forward with the upcoming season.

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.

Is ‘American Idol‘ about to put a rapper on its judging panel for the first time? While Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams are among the artists being considered for the show’s last vacant judging slot, Page Six is adding a new name to the mix — Sean “Diddy” Combs.
