'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after 13 years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for season 13.

Though it's pretty much a given at this point that Mariah Carey won't be around for the next season of 'American Idol' after the massive drama with Nicki Minaj this season, her hubby Nick Cannon is shedding more light on everything. The funny man explained that neither he nor Carey blames all the brouhaha on Minaj herself -- but that the brunt belongs with the producers of the show, who deliberate

In light of the massive drama this season between 'American Idol' judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, the multi-octave diva is pretty much guaranteed to walk out -- and the producers of the now-struggling Fox juggernaut are eyeing some unbelievably huge names to fill in the panel. Names like Pink, Diddy, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez!

Celebs in a way a very much like us non-celeb types, we pick and choose things for our lifestyle but one big difference when they want something they get it!

Mariah Carey's voice is unmistakable -- and so is her signature style. The high-octave diva has gone up and down with her weight over the years, but she doesn't always adjust her sizes or clothing choices to fall in line with her changing shape. However, when Mimi is on, she's on.

The ratings for Season 12 of 'American Idol' have been consistently down -- the worst since the first. Many critics believe the decline has to do with lackluster judges. One of those judges believes the blame lies on the doorstep of her peers. Yes, Nicki Minaj thinks the low ratings for 'Idol' are the fault of Keith Urban, Mariah Carey and sole remaining original judge Randy Jackson. Her Minajesty

On tonight's (Jan. 31) episode of Season 12 of 'American Idol,' the show hit Oklahoma City in Oklahoma, the home state and former stompin' grounds of Carrie Underwood, one of the biggest Idols in the show's history. Here's how things shook out in OKC, where puppets, an instance of forgotten lyrics to the national anthem and an inspirational kid with cystic fibrosis left their mark.

They may say the drama is over and in the rear view, but it doesn't seem to be for new 'American Idol' judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. It's TMDFOJP – Too Much Diva for One Judging Panel!

Mariah Carey and her fam spent the New Year in Australia (thanks to the start of her tour down under), and what better way to say hello to 2013 than to bring out your entire family during your concert!

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.

One might think that making $18 Million for one season on "American Idol" would be a good thing, but apparently that's not the case for Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

That was quick! Mariah Carey has officially joined ‘American Idol‘ as a judge for Season 12, which kicks off in 2013.
