:: American Idol judge Nicki Minaj and last week’s ousted contestant, Devin Velez, have taken to Twitter to air out a musical beef. Velez, who Minaj had praised for weaving in and out of Spanish while singing throughout the latest season, was critical of the rapstress’ on-air comments when he was given the axe. Her response: “Send the judges some flowers and a card. If Curtis [Finch Jr.] didn’t get SAVED, NONE of u get saved. Best male voice of the SEASON!!!!!!!!!!! #TruthTea.” [The Hollywood Reporter]

:: According to a new memoir by UK comedian Cleo Rocos, she and Freddie Mercury once snuck Princess Diana into a gay bar so she could drink beer and wine in peace. “We decided that the most famous icon of the modern world might just— just — pass for a rather eccentrically dressed gay male model,” Rocos wrote. Diana disguised herself with an army jacket, a leather hat and aviator glasses. [Fuse]

:: Producer Paul Anka says that he’s “got no beef” with Jay-Z, even though the rapper ignored Anka’s calls to collaborate on Duets song “This Is It,” featuring Michael Jackson. “He does not have to apologize,” Anka said. [TMZ]

:: Harry Styles was seen recording new songs at Hollywood. The Sunday Mirror reported that the songs were for a solo album, although a band spokesman said that Styles was recording for One Direction‘s third album. [Daily Mail]

:: Selena Gomez transforms into a zombie in an MTV Movie Awards promo that aired Sunday (March 31) night during The Walking Dead. It’s a terrifying look. [MTV]
