He might be one of the hardest working men in show business right now, but Nick Cannon took some time this morning to sit down with his America's Got Talent co-star, Howard Stern.
Nick was NOT holding anything back today!
When asked about his wife Mariah Carey's on-air fights with Nicki Minaj during their one-and-done season together on American Idol, Nick blames the producers of the show for feeding into their feud and making it worse!
But Nick isn't exactly helping to keep the peace between Mimi and Minajesty. Guess who he thinks would come out on top if things ever got physical? Nick told Howard:
Oh CANADAAAAAAA!
Your performances at the MuchMusic Video Awards Sunday were brazilliant!
Ed Sheeran was one of our favorites, performing his super sweet song Lego House, proving that he can love TSwizzle any female audience member, BETTER!
We were also OBSESSED with Demi Lovato's Heart Attack. Lovatics should be super proud, because this was Dem's first time rockin' the MuchMusic stage!!!
And to take us Home, Phillip Phillips sang his mega-hit to hundreds of screaming fans.
Loves it!
Check out Demi Lovato and Phillip Phillips' full performances…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We have heard some compelling rumors that Jennifer Lopez could actually be coming back as a judge on next season's revamped American Idol!
But is it just wishful thinking?
At least one insider says Jenny is NOT going back to that particular block!
The source said simply:

What a twosome of cuties!
Just when we thought they couldn't get anymore adorbzies, we spotted Paul McDonald and Nikki Reed step out for dinner at Hotel Cafe in near matching striped outfits!!!
The Twilight beauty joined her man for the evening as he hit the stage with the Grand Mags Band.
Sounds like someone is continuing to spread their American Idol wings!
Maybe AI's new exec producer should approach Paul to take a judging seat???!
We're sure Nikki would fully support it!

Given American Idol’s lowest ratings this past season, it’s not quite a surprise that Fox felt the need to implement some serious changes, including firing their executive producers!
But former EP Nigel Lythgoe opened up at the third annual Critic’s Choice Awards Monday evening when asked about the show. He revealed:

American Idol is getting a MAJOR overwhaul for season 13!
After hitting some serious low notes in the ratings last season, it means longtime executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick (above) are out and Swedish Idol producer Per Blankens is in.
New showrunner David Hill thinks Per will be the man to bring Idol back to its ratings glory days.
AI executive producer for FremantleMedia North America, Trish Kinane, explained:

It'll certainly take some heavy duty star power to revive the quickly fading American Idol!
But will Jennifer Lopez be willing to board the sinking ship?
Well, if anyone can convince her it's probably Ryan Seacrest, who is the only one still clinging to the show. And if he wants to keep making big buckos there, he BETTER convince the ultimate diva to bring her sparkle back to the show!
It certainly sounds like he's trying to make it happen as they allegedly met up in a very top secret manner! An insider revealed:
