Report: Nicki Minaj Leaving ‘American Idol’

nicki idol Report: Nicki Minaj Leaving American Idol

After a season full of stunts and shows, Nicki Minaj could be the next ‘American Idol’ judge to step down from the show following Randy Jackson’s announcement that he’s exiting the series after 12 seasons.

Us Weekly quotes an inside source saying, “It’s safe to say she isn’t coming back to ‘Idol.’ She’s okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway.”

Nicki, who made a purported $12 million on the gig, is reportedly shifting gears to focus her energy on recording her next album, touring and endorsements.

Speaking to reporters this week in advance of the Fox network’s presentation to advertisers, Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly said that all of ‘Idol’s’ judges were welcome back, but that “everything at this point is on the table.”

Host Chris Tucker along with the leader of the Golden Lords Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Tamar Braxton, and Cadillac Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Charlie Wilson were all present at the Icon Ultra Lounge in Los Angeles yesterday to share details about this year’s show at a press conference.

Get Into Juanita Bynum’s Mugshot, Saints And Sinners

juanita1 Get Into Juanita Bynums Mugshot, Saints And Sinners

Now, this is how God wants his children to serve sanctified and Holy Ghost filled dewy-skinned face for their mugshots. It has his anointing all over it.

Juanita Bynum spent last night (April 18) behind bars at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in Dallas, Texas after being arrested on a warrant for failure to appear in a civil proceeding against her, The Dallas Morning News reports.

Bynum was released after appearing in court today to answer questions about a 2007 judgement case ordering her to fork over $140,00 to promoter Al Wash for failing to perform in a play for which he had paid her.

According to Wash’s attorney, the popular televangelist has yet to pay up, though they are hopeful that the case may finally be resolved. “She has disclosed the whereabouts of her assets and her business dealings,” entertainment attorney David Small said.

Incarceration is a wonderful way to work prayer consecration in a packed schedule. God has forgiven Gucci Mane. When will you?

Yes, You Care: Sweet Brown Has A Brand New Music Video

Being blessed with a magnetic personality can propel a person only so far, especially when there are no visible elements of selling ass to fall back on present.

Sweet Brown‘s journey to a trap girl’s American Dream, a fresh 27-piece quick weave hairstyle every week and more chicken thighs than the law should allow, has hit a traffic jam.

It’s great that our lord and gyrator Beysus Christ recognizes her greatness and all, but if Sweet Brown wants to continue retail therapy sessions at CitiTrends she is going to have to come harder than her latest iTunes offering. Get thee behind, Satan.

Aunt Bunny is enjoying a piece of fried catfish smothered in hot sauce and mustard on white bread with pride in her eyes at this very moment. Mentally, I am too.

Fantasia kept it chic while attending the private listening session for her new album ‘Side Effects Of You’ at the London Bridge Studios on Tuesday night (April 16) in North Hollywood.

Teeny’s  trusted source for lunch money loans was joined at the event by Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Kenny Latimore, Amber Riley, Faith Evans, Nicci Gilbert, producer Harmony Samuels and more. You see that list of names, Keyshia Cole? It’s called support.

In a recent interview with ‘Access Hollywood’, Tasia Mae opened up about finally finding peace of mind despite the negative backlash she has received over the past few years, including having a baby with a married man and most recently what many perceived as an anti-gay rant on Instagram.

“God put me here for a reason,” she said. “When you look on TV or turn on the radio or all the newspapers and the magazines, it was always something negative, and no matter how many things I did that were positive that never came out, so that was the hardest for me at that time. Now I really don’t care anymore.”

‘Side Effects Of You’ drops which drops April 23! Check out more good times from the event below.
