  3. Steven Tyler Called Racist By Idol Judge

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">According to The Wall Street Journal, Nicki Minaj, first-time judge on "American Idol" is sparring with former judgeSteven Tyler of Aerosmith fame. The two performers had a bit of a Twitter spat that ended in Minaj calling Tyler a racist. It went like this: Tyler: "If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips. Just saying." Minaj: "Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet!" She continued. "I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment," she said in a follow-up. She later added, "You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f*** yourself and worry about yourself babe." That seemed to end it. Nobody from Tyler's camp has yet said a word about it.</span>

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Anne Hathaway married her longtime love, Adam Shulman, in September, and the actress wants to help make sure all couples have the right to experience their own fairytale wedding.
