Mariah Carey BURNS Nicki Minaj On Idol For Lack Of #1 Songs! Plus: A Recap Of The Night!
Mariah Carey might look all nice and sweet, but she can get down and durty when provoked!
And that shizz is just what happened last night on American Idol.
Oooh, we’re telling you it was GOOD!
The ladiez got into it while the contestants were performing songs currently on the radio.
In major music feuding style, the Billboard Hot 100 list came up, and THAT’S when Mariah threw some serious shade Nicki Minaj’s way!
SO. MUCH. SHADE!
Seriously, disses were flying so hard we’re surprised Nicki’s wig didn’t fall off!
Ch-ch-check it out (above)!
But don’t forget what the night was really about: the performances!
Yes, the final four ladiez did perform in between the burns!
After having a rough last week, Candice Glover came back strong and received TWO standing ovations from the judges. But she might be the only contestant feeling safe this week as the others had up and down nights.
All the contestants enjoyed the mentorship of Harry Connick Jr. - who also popped into Keith Urban’s judge’s seat for a minute!
But his assistance wasn’t enough to help Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomb and Angie Miller as the judges had problems with their performances coming up either lackluster, bland or not feeling like them.
With all the time we just spent watching and rewatching Mariah burn
Nicki, we almost forgot we’re facing an elimination tonight!
So who do YOU think should go home??

Taylor Swift Shows Off Her Lonnnnng Legs After Leaving The Tracy Anderson Gym!
Taylor Swift has legs that can go on FOREVER!
The Cold as You singer hit up the Tracy Anderson gym in Studio City over the weekend, and because she just dropped $17 million on a
Rhode Island summer home, she decided to get her bod ready for her lavish new residence.
Miz Swift was photographed as she left the fitness center in a head-to-toe Nike outfit, but what made her look AH-MAYZING were her beautiful long limbs.
You would think that at 5'10”, Taylor would be modeling, but taking into mind that she has a voice of an angel, she decided to sing her butt off instead!
WERK those legs anyway guuurl!!
Amanda Bynes Wants To Look Like A Stripper, Digs Justin Bieber's Swaggy Style, And Is About To Record An ALBUM!
Holy hair extensions guys…
In a move that BAFFLES us to no end, Amanda Bynes — the girl who claims to want privacy but then posts half naked pics of herself on the interwebz — apparently decided to give an interview to TABLOID magazine InTouch.
And yes, it is every bit as odd and disconcerting as the retired actresses' Twitter page.
Not only does girl admit to piercing her cheeks so that she could look more like famous stripper Blac Chyna, she also talks about a potential fashion line that would take inspiration from the Olsen Twins and Justin Bieber's swaggy style AND reveals plans to work on an ALBUM.
Ummmm… can girl even sing??
Oh yeah, and she addresses her extremely whack and unhealthy weight loss goals (again).
Read all the eyebrow raising highlights of Amanda's InTouch interview
Amanda Bynes: I have no clue [why people say I’m insane]. Every time I’ve heard it, it came from an ugly person’s mouth, so I don’t care. The only ones lying about me having a mental illness are people I don’t talk to.
AB: I only have hot friends. They have my back until I die.
AB: I’m getting in shape for all the photo shoots. I like being 100 pounds… 21 to go!
AB: I’ll design clothes and sing because I want to, not because I need the money. I love singing and I can’t wait to start working on an album.
Do you think you have any issues with addiction? AB: I don’t drink. I’m allergic to alcohol.
Is it true you needed to shave your head after a bad dye job? AB: Yes, I had to shave my head. It’s so annoying to have no hair at 27. I have extensions that I love but I miss my own hair.
Explain the facial piercings. AB: I wanted to look like Blac Chyna.
You’ve said you’re starting a fashion line. AB: I love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s clothing line…and I love how Justin Bieber dresses. My line will be a mixture of sick styles, and it’s going to be for everybody.
Where do you see yourself in five years? AB: Happily married!

LL Cool J And Brad Paisely Team Up Again On Live For You!
Apparently Accidental Racist just wasn't enough for LL Cool J and Brad Paisley!
The two have been the center of criticism and the butt of many jokesbecause of their previous collaboration, but that didn't stop the two of them from teaming up again on the rapper's latest album, Authentic!
Brad recently spread the word via Twitter, writing:
My friend @llcoolj releases his album "Authentic" tomorrow. We have a new song on there,&it rocks.Everyone check it out. He is wonderful.
Well the album JUST dropped today and we had to hear their new tune,Live For You!
So how did it turn out? Let's just say it's no Accidental Racist!
We definitely don't see the song stirring up any controversy with LL covering the lighter subject of love while Brad handles the chorus, but we also don't see it getting a ton of praise either.
There's never anything wrong with artists trying new things, but maybe it's time for these two to go their separate ways!
Katy Perry Continues To Landscape Manhattan With Her Beautiful Flowers
What have we done to deserve so many MAGICAL Katy Perry sightings lately?!
We don't know, but THANK YOU, universe!
The singer is most definitely on a floral love affair as she happily sported yet another flower-themed dress while out in NYC on Wednesday afternoon.
Her Bottega Veneta contrast dress featured a deep v-neckline and studded trim along the bodice, and was paired with studded, lace-up Bionda Castana booties.
She is SO high up on that best-dressed list that no one can touch her, except maybe Kristen Stewart, but that's only in the UK, right?
Miley Cyrus Is All Grown Up
You can’t stop the kids from growing up. It seems like just yesterday I was lying about Never watching Hannah Montana. And, now, little Hannah is all grown up into a mature semi-spastic girl in leather. I need a little time to digest this.
CATHERINE ZETA-JONES Enters Treatment Center For Bipolar Disorder
Catherine Zeta-Jones has checked in to a treatment center to get more help for her Bipolar disorder ... TMZ has learned.
We've learned ... the 43-year-old Academy Award winner checked in to the treatment center Monday ... and is expected to complete a 30-day program.
Sources connected to the actress tell us ... Jones' stint in the treatment center is a proactive measure. As one source puts it, "It's maintenance."
FYI -- Jones completed a stint at a treatment center in 2011 -- at the time, her rep said Catherine had "made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder."
Zeta-Jones was last seen in public on April 22 -- when she hit the red carpet at the 40th Anniversary Chaplin Award Gala at Lincoln Center looking healthy ... with her husband Michael Douglas by her side.
LINDSAY LOHAN TOW-TO-TOW WITH COPS
Lindsay Lohan has more car problems than the owner of a 1977 exploding Pinto. Her latest hijinks ... getting her car unceremoniously towed in Brooklyn.
Seems LiLo's Porsche Panamera was illegally parked on a BK street and New York's finest had it taken to the police impound yard. It happened Saturday night.
Lindsay went to the tow yard with the proper paperwork, paid the tow fee and cops drove her to her car -- the lot is that big -- So many scofflaws in Brooklyn.
Lindsay and Porsche Panameras don't mix well. You'll recall she got in legal hot water not too long ago for allegedly hitting a pedestrian in the sweet ride.
Subways are so much easier Lindsay ... and cheaper.
This was prob the first time Lindsay was in the front of a cop car
KIM K & KANYE PRAISED BY HOSPITAL You're Saving Sick Babies
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are bona fide HEROES ... this according to a Chicago Children's Hospital which says the money raised by the couple will be used to treat sick babies.
Kim and Kanye are urging friends and family members to abstain from sending baby gifts -- instead, they're asking well-wishers to send donations to the Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
Now, reps for the hospital are hailing the couple for the generous move -- saying, "Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for their thoughtfulness and support of the hospital."
The rep continues, "Funds donated on behalf of Kardashian and West will be directed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fund which will help care for the most critically ill babies and their families."
"We wish them all the best in the upcoming arrival of their baby."
JASON ALDEAN Warned Kissing Partner ... I'm Divorcing My Wife
Right before Jason Aldean filed for divorce ... the country star called the "American Idol" hottie he kissed behind his wife's back and warned her about the media firestorm to come ...
Sources connected to Brittany Kerr tell us ... Aldean placed the courtesy phone call himself last week ... and politely warned the singer that he was pulling the trigger on his marriage to his high school sweetheart Jessica Ussery.
Translation -- the media's gonna be all over your ass again ... so, govern yourself accordingly.
We're told Kerr appreciated the heads-up ... considering she was Aldean's kissing partner on the night he cheated on his wife back in Sept.
Since the warning, Brittany's been laying low -- shutting down her social media pages and staying out of the public eye.
It's not clear whether Aldean and Kerr have communicated since … or whether their relationship has a future.
FARRAH ABRAHAM GRAPHIC SEX TAPE PHOTOS
This just got real ... TMZ has obtained graphic images from Farrah Abraham's upcoming sex tape ... and they're way gnarlier than the expected.
The 21-year-old "Teen Mom" star initially denied there even was a XXX tape -- but came clean about its existence last month, after her co-star James Deen blew the lid off her little plot.
As we reported, Vivid Entertainment paid Abraham in the high 6-figure range (nearly $1 million) for getting down and dirty on camera ... and boy does she get dirty ... the pics are intense.
The tape's now called "Farrah Abraham: Backdoor Teen Mom" ... and you can guess why.

TARA REID On Lindsay Lohan 'WE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER'
Tara Reid is no fan of Lindsay Lohan ... and Lindsay Lohan ain't too fond of Tara either ... so says the "American Pie" star.
Tara hosted "TMZ on TV" yesterday ... and told them she and LiLo have some serious issues, despite the fact they run in the same social circles.
"We don't really like each other that much," Reid said ... "If I get drunk, I'm a happy drunk. When she gets drunk, she's just mean."
Tara even gives examples.

Still, Reid believes Lohan will eventually get her life back on track ... because people keep giving her "chance after chance after chance after chance."
Gotta respect the honesty.
MILEY CYRUS I'M HOT Just Like Rihanna
Decked out in her finest Rihanna chic, Miley Cyrus showed off her long lean 20-year-old legs in a pair of leather short shorts and killer heels as she pumped gas in Studio City on Tuesday.
While her t-shirt says "Sex, Drugs & Rap" ... here's hoping she never does one of those things.
LINDSAY LOHAN Rehab Plan May Be UP IN SMOKE
Lindsay Lohan has less than 24 hours to hightail it to Seafield Center in New York ... but even as she packs her bags she's telling people she may bail on the rehab facility because they won't let her smoke.
Sources close to Lindsay tell me ... she doesn't think she can hack not smoking for 90 days.
We're told Lindsay asked her lawyers to try and convince Seafield to make an exception and, failing that, find a facility that would let her puff away.
Sources say Seafield was unbending -- no smoking, no exceptions. So lawyers triggered Plan B -- we've learned they contacted Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach -- a place Lindsay once rehabbed at for a short time in 2010.
Morningside staff tells me ... they DO allow smoking. Problem is ... we've learned the City Attorneys for L.A. and Santa Monica haven't signed off on Morningside. We're told prosecutors had no idea Lindsay is thinking of bailing on Seafield.
Lindsay is acting like she's going tomorrow ... She Instagrammed this photo of herself packing, saying, "90 days and 270 looks."
LIL WAYNE TO EMMETT TILL FAM I Won't Compare Sex to Emmett's Murder ... Anymore
Lil Wayne has APOLOGIZED to the family of Emmett Till ... saying he's sorry their feelings were hurt when he compared the brutal killing of the civil rights icon ... to having rough sex with a woman for a rap song.
Weezy came under fire back in February over a verse he dropped on the song "Karate Chop" ... in which he said, "Pop a lot of pain pills, 'bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels ... beat that p***y up like Emmett Till."
Quick history lesson -- Till was 14 back in 1955 when he was beaten beyond recognition, shot and dumped in a river ... after he was accused of flirting with a white woman in Mississippi. His open-casket funeral and murder trial were early flashpoints in the civil rights movement.
Till's family was outraged -- claiming the lyric "infected the Internet" -- and demanded Wayne apologize.
Now, Wayne has kinda sorta obliged ... saying in a letter to the Till fam, "It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist's song has deeply offended your family."
He continues, "I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys."
Translation -- I'm sorry you're offended.
Wayne does say, "As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure."
JOEY FATONE & LANCE BASS It's Gonna Be May!
With no signs of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez or the other guy, former *NSYNC boy banders Joey Fatone and Lance Bass -- along with LB's boyfriend Michael Turchin -- reunited to celebrate the last day of April with some lunch in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
Then they went bye, bye, bye.
LIL WAYNE HOSPITALIZED For Another Seizure
UPDATE
11:40 AM PT -- Weezy just tweeted that's he's fine.
Lil Wayne was hospitalized again for a seizure ...
Sources close to Wayne tell us ... the rapper was taken to Cedars-Sinai in L.A. late Tuesday night by his bodyguards. We're told he suffered a single seizure and was treated and released early this morning.
As we first reported, 30-year-old Lil Wayne spent a week at Cedars back in March after suffering multiple severe seizures that nearly killed him. He spent 6 days in ICU.
Wayne subsequently went on the radio and explained he's an epileptic, and has been suffering from seizures since he was a kid.
PARIS HILTON TRUCE with Lingerie Co. ... Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em
Paris Hilton has made it official ... she's dropping her lawsuit against a swimwear/lingerie company and going into business with her former enemy.
As we reported ... Hilton and Le Bonitas were embroiled in a bitter lawsuit last year over a product deal gone bad. Hilton signed a 5-year contract to create a line of lingerie, PJs and swimwear, but the project went South.
LB sued Hilton for more than $200,000 for allegedly blowing off her obligations ... and Hilton (repped by Michael Weinsten) sued back for $1.5 million -- but now the two have made peace, agreeing to a totally new lingerie/swimwear deal.
Paris and LB are now saying their old beef is "water under the bridge."
See kids? Money fixes everything.
