But who should join the judges' panel for Season 2? Our Top 5 picks below.

Ciara And Taio Cruz To Perform At A Pool Near You This Summer
Tue Jul 5 2011 by Becky Bain
Though Ciara and Taio Cruz are both listed on the bill for Malibu Rum and DJ Skribble's Radio Maliboom Boom Station Invasion Concert Tour (yes, that is the actual, totally embarrassing tour name), they won't be performing on the same nights. Of the 10-city tour, the Basic Instinct singer will perform at the first seven dates, and the "Cryin' Over You" crooner will perform at the remaining three. Did we mention that this ridiculously-named concert series takes place poolside? At least the two artists can take a dip after their sets to wash off the shame. Dates below. More »

Fri May 13 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
We’ve met Barbie and Roman but here’s a Nicki Minaj alter ego we’d never thought we’d see: Casual Fran. The Maxim Hot 100 artist stepped out in Hollywood last night for the Samsung’s Infuse 4G in a bobbed blonde wig, pageboy hat and an outfit that looked like something we’d wear to the mall. Don’t get us wrong the “Super Bass” rapper looked super cute, but where’s her usual neon-colored ensemble or two-toned Bride Of Frankenstein wig? Before the party, Nicki picked up the “Breakthrough Artist Of The Year” award at the 53rd annual NARM awards. Also in attendance were Ciara, David Cook and Kelly Rowland. Check out highlights from the blue carpet and from Nicki’s performance. More »

Rihanna And Ciara Get Their Claws Out During Twitter Brawl
Sat Feb 26 2011 by Idolator Staff
Gotta love technology. Whereas pop diva catfights might once have been limited to backstage, behind the scenes, where only stagehands and publicists are privy to them, now millions of people can bear witness and following along with every “rawr!” and hiss, thanks to Twitter. The latest virtual scuffle? Flexible Ciara used E!’s Fashion Police to claim her latest run-in with recent birthday girl Rihanna “wasn’t the most pleasant,” which got an even-less-pleasant reply from Kanye's favorite lady in red. Head below for a transcript of RiRi and CiCi’s resulting tweet-drama, bitchy hashtags and all.
