The 455th season of American Idol debuts next week so of course its time to pimp out the catfight (however authentic or marketing-department orchestrated it is) between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.

Hand over all the awards and meet us after the break to watch as Mariah throws down the SHADE OF IT ALL.

Pippa Middleton can come out of hiding now that Karl Lagerfeld has given some time to how he feels about her face. After advising Pippa to stick to just showing her back because he didn't like her face, Karl has done an about-face (bah duh bah!) and now says it doesn't bother him so much. Her makeup, on the other hand...

Elton John just cannot leave Madonna alone!

In an interview with Molly Meldrum, Elton lets his hair plugs down once again to blast the pop superstar, and this time he doesn't hold back.
