Mariah Carey may be a diva, but hell if she hasn't earned the right to the title. The multi-octave former 'American Idol' judge may have ripped her Versace gown on 'Good Morning America,' but she also recovered from it like only Mimi can -- with a husky giggle and sass.

Mariah Carey might not be the only one out of a job at 'American Idol.' If one report is to be believed, the show plans on doing some serious housecleaning during which all four judges will be axed in an attempt to quell the program's bleeding ratings.

'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.

Nicki Minaj keeps poking at the sore spot that is fellow 'American Idol' panelist Mariah Carey, this time by posing with rumored replacement judge Jennifer Lopez at last night's Met Gala.

The 'American Idol' feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey is still going strong -- and now gossip-blogger Perez Hilton has been pulled into the catfight.

On April 30, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary by renewing their vows, just like they did last year (apparently it's super hard to remember them otherwise).

In an effort to boost failing ratings, the producers of 'American Idol' supposedly had devious plans to replace Mariah Carey halfway through this season with former judge Jennifer Lopez. Until Mimi lawyered up, that is.

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.

Seems that feud (or publicity stunt, depending on your level of cynicism) between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj isn't over just yet, because during a 'Nightline' interview with Barbara Walters, Mariah threw major shade at her fellow 'American Idol' judge. Meow, indeed.

According to Mariah Carey's controlling ex-hubby Tommy Mottola, he just wanted to make the singer a star and she should be thanking him for all her success because after all, he kept her in the prettiest prison ever. So says his new memoir 'Hitmaker,' which proves the former Sony Music chief isn't quite done making money off her yet.

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. Good news for those of you trying to curb your appetites and get an exercise in eye rolling. Nick Cannon ran his mouth about his sex life on Howard Stern's inexplicably still-running radio show, and his and Mariah Carey's proclivities are just as narcissistic as you'd expect.

If only Jimmy Fallon's show was just music. Here is probably the best rendition of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' ever, performed by Mariah Carey, Jimmy Fallon, and the Roots on toy instruments. Oh! Plus a chorus of jack-in-the-box kids wearing winter hats...
