In what's being described as a throwback single, Mariah Carey's teamed up with newbie crooner, Miguel for "#Beautiful"--and no that hashtag isn't a typo. 

"#Beautiful" is the lead single off of Mariah's upcoming currently untitled album, due this summer. 

Decide for yourself how beautiful the new single really is after the jump!

Borrowing Beyonce's entire fleet of fans just for a 15-second teaser clip, the one and only Mariah Carey unleashed a drool-soliciting preview of her first new single in years (that last one, "Triumphant", DOES NOT count). 

Check out a seductive snippet of "Beautiful" featuring Miguel after the break. 

We're absolutely convinced that the television moment of our time has passed us by now that we can assume that no camera was present then Mariah Carey ALLEGEDLY found out that American Idol producers were considering replacing her with Jennifer Lopez midway through the season.

We CAN'T. To say that J.Lo and Mariah had a tense relationship in the past--at least according to the media--is an understatement, so we can only imagine the hellstorm that this must have set off.

Deadline has the story after the jump!

With Oz The Great And Powerful hitting theaters today, it's only fitting that the great and powerful diva herself, Mariah Carey, would drop the video for the film's soundtrack single, "Almost Home."

Watch Mariah bring it home after the jump!

If Mariah throwing shade at Nicki Minaj on a weekly basis isn't enough Mimi for you, we think the diva's new track from the Oz The Great And Powerful soundtrack will more than satisfy your appetite!

Check out Mariah's leaked single, "Almost Home" after the jump!

Academy-Award winning American Idol alum Jennifer Hudson thinks American Idol's fifteen minutes are up and that it's becoming junkyard reality TV, or so she says in so many words. 

Nicki Minaj stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote American Idol and Ellen wouldn't be Ellen if she didn't address the diva battle between Nicki and fellow judge, Mariah Carey. 

Interestingly Nicki manages to explain herself in a way that's almost, dare we say it, charming? And she manages to throw some subtle shade Mariah's way while masking it in kindness. 

American Idol could be interesting indeed. 

Watch Nicki and Ellen after the jump!

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. The elder diva, Mimi, sat down with Barbara Walters on Nightline this week to discuss the feud and immediately won the entire fiasco, hands down, ankles up, with a simple eye-roll and sassy line delivered with perfection. 

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

You can practically picture hubby Nick Cannon in a private room down the hallway having some "alone time" with "Hero" blaring as Mariah Carey shares her 10 diamond-dipped festive Christmas tips. 

Gather your team of personal assistants, chef and au pair around and follow the jump for some sage wisdom for the holiday season that anyone on any budget can enjoy! 

If you don't spend the entire video worrying that Mariah's gigantic snow globes will burst out of her holiday dress and decapitate the entire front row of adorable children then you'll enjoy this classroom rendition of "All I Want For Christmas." Watch after the jump.

Nicki Minaj has taken to Twitter to calm Mariah down and send her to that soothing place filled with butterflies and lambs that she drifts off to every now and again. 

So, what does Nicki have to say after hearing that Mariah has added extra security and is in fear of her life?

American Idol producers knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to mix a potent cocktail (our favorite kind!) by hiring certified DIVA Mariah Carey and outspoken Queens-born Nicki Minaj as judges. On the same panel. At the same time. It's like trying to mix olive oil and water. Or, if you'd like an example using items from Mariah Carey's celebrity rider, it's like mixing rose petal bath water at exactly 102 degrees and a case of Cristal champagne with a side box of bendy straws; it just doesn't work. 

The grade school experiment was shown off at a recent American Idol audition after the two judges disagreed about a contestant's abilities which lead Nicki Minaj to reportedly threaten to "knock out" Mariah.
