NICKI MINAJ SPEAKS ON 'A.I.' JUDGING PANEL

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have opened up about the disagreements that the American Idol judging panel has. In an interview with E! News, Mariah said, "We have to go against each other sometimes to say, 'But wait, this person has something amazing! Maybe you're not seeing it. It's a little bit beyond your comprehension at this moment, but there's something great about this person.'"

Nicki added, "We're also unanimous about a lot of great people that are here! We're excited about the people that are here right now. We all feel that they're above average in talent and personality."

• Nicki said that it was easy for her to say no to contestants during auditions, but it was much harder during Hollywood Week. She said, "The human side of you comes out eventually, when you're looking at people that are this close to fulfilling their dream and in their head they have already seen it come to fruition, so saying no, it's like a dagger."
• American Idol's new season premieres on January 16th on Fox.

 ICE-T'S WIFE COCO INVOLVED IN ANOTHER PICTURE SCANDAL

Ice-T's wife Coco is caught up in another pic scandal with another man. According to Theybf.com, this time the pic shows a man named Moose Diesel grabbing on Coco's booty. Turns out, Diesel is a friend of AP-9, the first guy that took suggestive photos with Coco. Coco sent Diesel a message telling him to take the picture down because it wasn't a good look. The male fan responded, "It's not a good look for you, not me. You knew what you were doing when you took the pic."

AP-9 is now talking to HSK about his alleged night with Coco, saying, "I took Coco out on a date to Haze nightclub. She brought some friends...some of the crew from Ice Loves Coco even showed up too! We had a steamy one-night stand. I hate being called a liar...cuz I'm not."

• Reports say that there are more photos of Coco and AP-9 floating around. He has also taken a lie detector test.
