Miss Greater Baton Rouge Megan Miller was a walking wounded contestant. She had an accident, injured her leg, and it got infected, requiring surgery. But that wasn't going to stop this beauty with a belter's voice from making her 'American Idol' audition in Baton Rouge, La., which aired tonight (Jan. 24).

On tonight's (Jan. 24) audition episode of 'American Idol,' Season 12 headed to judge Randy Jackon's hometown of Baton Rouge, La. The "dawg" looked extra beautiful on camera, with Mariah Carey doing his makeup. On this ep, we met an injured beauty queen with a belter's lungs and a singing doctor with a butter smooth voice. There was more good than bad, including an awkward teen who uses

Here's something you don't see (or hear) every day during the 'American Idol' audition phase: a singing doctor! Dr. Calvin Peters, who is in his third year of residency, specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation of spine, brain, burn and muscular injuries, showed us that he is a man of many amazing talents at tonight's (Jan. 24) Baton Rouge, La. audition.

Nigel Lythgoe, producer of 'American Idol' (and just about every other FOX reality show), insists that smackdown between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj was very real and wasn't conjured up by the publicity-hungry suits at the network. Not because they'd never do such a thing, but because the timing is way off.

The next season of the waning talent search show ‘American Idol’ began taping on Sunday, and after working their way down a long list of possible judges, the producers ended up with a panel that seems to include one too many divas -- and we can only hope the fireworks make it to air.

So it is official American Idol has announced their judges.

It's cool, dawg. Randy Jackson is back as an 'American Idol' judge!

This sounds a bit like desperation, but word is that the powers-that-be at ‘American Idol‘ offered pop diva Katy Perry a whopping $20 million to join the show as a judge. Whoa. That’s $2 million more than top diva Mariah Carey got to board the judge’s panel, and she brings more history and star power. What gives?

In an interesting turn of events, Alanis Morissette has come out saying that reality shows like ‘American Idol‘ and ‘X Factor‘ don’t do enough to nurture singer-songwriters. We don’t think it’s a coincidence that the news comes on the heels of Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban finalizing their own ‘Idol’ judging talks — a role Morissette previously confirmed she was up for herself. Do you think it’s an

It was announced  a month ago that Mariah Carey would become a judge on ‘American Idol‘ for its upcoming season, filling one of the seats left vacant by former judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. People may still be recovering from the shock of the announcement, but ‘Idol’ winner Jordin Sparks thinks Carey will be a great fit.

After weeks of speculation on who would take a seat next to diva-of-all-divas Mariah Carey on the revamped ‘American Idol‘ judges panel, it looks as though reigning rap royalty Nicki Minaj will be joining the show. Whoa. Mariah and Nicki? On one panel? That’s enough diva in one room to make the earth stop spinning on its axis.

It’s the Cola Wars all over again, with Nicki Minaj being the bone of contention between Coke and Pepsi.
