Tue Jan 31 2012 by Becky Bain
Back to the drawing board. After the bloodbath of firings that rocked the US edition of The X Factor — Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger, and, most surprisingly, Paula Abdul have been cut from the show — there are suddenly a ton of job openings for a new host and two new judges. (Somewhere, Cheryl Cole is laughing at all this mayhem.) After a disappointing inaugural season, it looks like the singing competition is in need of an overhaul, anyway. 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 »
Nicki Minaj Dresses Down For Samsung 4G Event (PHOTOS)
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 »

Thu May 12 2011 by Idolator Staff
Newsflash: Nicki Minaj is hot. So is Britney Spears. And Katy Perry. And Taylor Swift. And Rihanna. Okay, so maybe we aren't exactly shocked that any of these ladies made the 2011 Maxim Hot 100 list, but that doesn't make us less excited that so many of our favorite pop divas have been lauded with this prestigious honor. And in addition to the comely ladies above, a certain Glee starlet, judges from The Voice and The X Factor, and the female Kurt Cobain also made the cut. But which scored the highest? See the rankings below. More »
The 17 Women Linked To Justin Bieber (PHOTOS)
Tue Mar 1 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Justin Bieber turns the big 1-7 today, and he’s come quite a long way in the last 365 days. From a Grammy nom for Best New Artist, to a successful 3-D biopic, somehow the Biebs has managed to find the time to focus on the one thing he really loves in life: the ladies. Justin’s flirtatious nature (and soft spot for the older women) have sparked rumors about him and virtually everyone from Selena Gomez to Barbara Walters. We thought the best gift we could give the “Baby” crooner on his 17th birthday, would be to highlight the 17 special ladies in his life. 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.

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.
