Nicki Minaj’s “American Idol” feuds are expanding.

The newly-minted “Idol” judge, whose reported clashes with fellow judge Mariah Carey have already made headlines, is firing back at former “Idol” judge Steven Tyler after he made comments that the Young Money rapper/singer is deeming “racist.”

In an interview, Tyler suggested that Minaj and Carey “Shut the f—- up,” and continued, “They should have something going on so thick and beautiful that they can lay it over the new ta-lent that’s trying to birth itself. It needs to be birthed, not judged by ‘entertainment’ factors. It needs to be judged by people that [are] honest, true, that have the ‘it’ factor. Not the ‘it’ factor because they can fight. The f—- is that all about?”

Kenya Moore is steaming things up on season 5 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The actress, producer, and beauty queen started out this season trying to play nice, but has already been dubbed by many as the mean girl of the cast.

Moore told reporters that she hopes to soon star alongside her RHOA cast member NeNe Leakes, in a film which she has in the works. The Detroit native, who currently heads up Moore Vision Media, an independent production company, also has her eyes set on a producing a reality competition similar to Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model.

“I Love what Tyra is doing. I have a television show in development that’s similar to that, but it’s based in the pageant world,” Moore revealed.

Halle Berry ex-flame, model Gabriel Aubrey, and fiance, actor Olivier Martinez, were in a violent brawl at her home on Thanksgiving Day, ending with Aubrey arrested and both men treated in the emergency room.

Berry’s bitter custody battle with Aubrey has dominated the news as outrageous child support requests and bad parenting accusations flew from one side to the other. But it took another turn when a judge denied Berry’s request to move 4-year-old daughter Nahla to France to start a new life with Martinez.

According to witnesses, Gabriel then pushed Olivier and threw a punch at his face, but Olivier blocked it and the punch struck him in the shoulder instead. We’re told Gabriel then pushed Olivier to the ground, and Olivier cold-cocked him in the face, and a struggle ensued, ending with Olivier pinning Gabriel to the ground.

In the struggle, Gabriel suffered a broken rib, contusions on his face, and possibly a more serious head injury. Olivier may have broken his hand and suffered neck injuries as well. There are conflicting accounts as to whether Gabriel was rendered unconscious in the fight.

Aubrey was charged with misdemeanor battery with bail set at $20,000 dollars. He has since been released. An emergency protective order was allegedly issued mandating that he stay 100 yards away from Berry, Martinez and Nahla.

Aubrey’s court date is scheduled for December 13.

No longer able to fight the recurring break-up rumors that have plagued them for months, Kimora Lee Simmons has announced that she and African heartthrob Djimon Hounsou, have called it quits.

This summer, even her ex-husband, Russell Simmons, jumped in to deny any troubles with the couple after speculation escalated; the business mogul claimed he had to “set the record straight.”

According to a spokesperson for the couple, they have not only been split for months, they never legalized their West African marriage in the United States.

“Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee Simmons have officially separated after 5½ years,” the actor’s rep said. “Though never married, they have one child together, Kenzo Lee Hounsou, who is 3½ years old.”

Rock star Lenny Kravitz has been rapidly building up his filmography with high-profile supporting turns in 2009s Precious and this year’s The Hunger Games. Yet his next major role may propel him to the next level as an actor.

Rapper Drake and R&B singer Chris Brown, who engaged in a melee last June at a New York City hot spot nightclub that resulted in injuries and arrests, were both cleared of any wrongdoing due to lack of evidence.

Reportedly, the fracas, which involved both Drake and Brown’s entourages, was ignited by some choice words that the rapper relayed to the R&B singer via a note.

Sheldon Stephens, the young man who initially accused Sesame Street puppeteer Kevin Clash of having a sexual relationship with him when he was only 16 years old, only to later recant the claims, has changed his story yet again.

Stephens now says he was paid $125,000 to take back his story in a settlement agreement with Clash.

“We’ve learned Stephens has met with lawyers in Los Angeles and told them he was pressured into recanting his allegation and insists he’s telling the truth when he says he had sex with Clash when he was 16.”

Clash has never denied that a sexual relationship with Stephens took place, but he has always maintained that it was consensual and took place when Stephens was at the legal age of consent.

The performer is most famous for his work as Elmo, the beloved and popular children’s character.

At the outset of BAD 25 – the documentary film celebrating the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Bad album – director Spike Lee quickly dispenses with talk of the pop superstar’s personal struggles, diving right into the artistic perfectionism that drove him to achieve his career milestones. “Hopefully, that’s what this documentary is about – it’s gonna have people return to focusing on the music, his art, which I feel is his legacy, in addition to his children,” Lee, dressed in a white BAD 25 T-shirt, told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the movie had its North American premiere over the weekend, after debuting in Venice 25 years to the day since Bad’s release.

To piece together the making of Jackson’s landmark LP, Lee unearthed archival footage from studio sessions and music video shoots and conducted interviews with Jackson’s many collaborators, including Quincy Jones, Martin Scorsese, Stevie Wonder and Sheryl Crow, and stars who were inspired by his music, from Kanye West and Mariah Carey to Questlove and Justin Bieber.

The film, which will get a television premiere on ABC on November 22nd, follows the making of Bad track by track; though it can feel clinical at times, it also revels in cool details,  like the origin of Jackson’s gravity-defying lean in “Smooth Criminal” and his famous expression, “Shamon!” Then, abruptly, Lee shifts to Jackson’s death in the summer of 2009, collecting reactions from his interview subjects, many of whom choke back tears and break down. “Those were all real, raw emotions that were displayed,” said Lee.
