Mariah Carey

In a word? AWWWWW!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have given the world a glimpse into their Christmas, one filled with happiness, joy, presents... and Dem Babies!

That's the name these stars have given twins Monroe and Moroccan.

"A Carey-Cannon Christmas, the most festive yet!" the couple captioned a photo album on their Dem Babies website. "Merry Christmas to all!"

Cannon made headlines last week when he said the Kim Kardashian sex tape led to the end of his relationship with that reality star.

The America's Got Talent host should be sending Ray J a Thank You card, however. If not for that video, he may never have romanced Mariah - and there would be no Dem Babies to show off around the holidays.

Mariah Carey has come out with a studio version of a track she debuted this summer at a fundraiser for re-elected President Barack Obama.

Titled "Bring It On Home," the song was first performed at New York City's Plaza Hotel in June, as Carey did her part to help Obama defeat Mitt Romney.

Take a listen to it now:

Last night, meanwhile, the American Idol judge watched the election results and Tweeted:

“INCREDIBLE SPEECH!!!!!! Watching in a room full of diverse people-all truly moved. Thank you America for President Obama-4more yrs.”

You can watch the Barack Obama victory speech now.

It may be a feud concocted for ratings, but Stevie Nicks is taking the rivalry between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj VERY seriously.

Asked about this supposed American Idol spat, the Fleetwood Mac singer made it quite clear on whose side she falls.

“How dare this little girl!" Nicks said of Minaj. "If I had been Mariah I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there.”

Without taking sides, and with an eye toward quieting the critics, American Idol producers have released a statement in regard to this week's simmering Nicki Minaj vs. Mariah Carey feud.

"This is one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels we've ever had," the producers said in response to Minaj going off on Carey during a taping in Charlotte.

"We love and support all of the judges and the fantastic work they are doing, and we can't imagine a better group to find the next American Idol."

On top of cursing Mariah Carey off during a heated exchange on the American Idol set this week, did Nicki Minaj also threaten to murder the pop star?

Yes, according to Barbara Walters. Wait... what?!?

On The View today, the co-host read from notes she took during a conversation with Carey in which the artist alleges "Nicki walked off the set and multiple people heard Nicki say, 'If I had a gun I would shoot the bitch.'"

Nick Cannon has weighed in on the Mariah Carey vs. Nicki Minaj feud - and you'll never guess which side he's taking.

"My wife is the strongest and classiest woman that I’ve ever met," Cannon said today on Access Hollywood Live when asked about Minaj going off on Carey during an early Season 12 audition episode.

"If you watch the video, she just maintains her composure… I don’t think she’s moved by the theatrics and pageantry of it all. She signed up to do a job to help young people."

It's been two days since Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban were confirmed as American Idol judges on Season 12.

And there's already talk of contention among panelists.

According to show sources, Mariah Carey was peeved from the outset over Minaj possibly joining the judging table, considering the outspoken rapper would give the pop legend a run for her diva-like money.

Asked by reporters yesterday about the supposed tension between her and Minaj, Carey dismissed the chatter, saying: "How can we feud in two days? I think a feud takes a little longer."

Nicki didn't have anything negative to say about Mariah, either, labeling her very brief Idol experience - which includes a couple hours of auditions - so far as "wonderful."

Concluded Randy Jackson: "We're having fun, dude. We've been having a good time. There has been a lot of laughs."

Well... darn. Where's the gossip related fun in that?!?
