American Idol is back tonight for its twelfth season! Along with the new talent, the show welcomes Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, and Keith Urban to the judge’s panel. Idol originals Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest are back again, but Seacrest told The Today Show that the new season is not the show of old. “Is the show a lot different? Absolutely,” Seacrest told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. He’s most likely referring his two new diva co-stars. “These are two very very spirited, strong, individual performers who have had a lot of success that aren’t shy about their opinion.” Catch the first night of the two-part premiere at 8/7c on FOX.

Monique Lhuillier on Nicki Minaj and Julie Bowen’s Twin Looks: “It Was A Surprise To Me!”

Nov 28, 2012 @ 11:10 am

Ever since Nicki Minaj stunned fashion lovers at the American Music Awards red carpet by wearing the same citrus Monique Lhuillier gown Julie Bowen wore to the Emmys in September, we’ve been wondering how Minaj came to wear the curve-hugging look. Turns out, the designer was just as surprised! “The best part was I had nothing to do with it,” Lhuillier told InStyle.com at the opening of her new flagship store in New York City last night. “I was surprised! I saw her on the screen and I was like, ‘Oh! So, she bought it at one of the stores.’” So, did she think Minaj pulled it off? “I thought she rocked that dress,” Lhuillier said. Now that’s a compliment, Barbz!

The promos for the American Music Awards promised our playlist would come alive—and it did! With 17 performances throughout the three-hour broadcast, we had our heads bobbing to the music all night, which is why we rounded up our favorite performances for you right here. Nicki Minaj, who won for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Album, wowed with a winter wonderland performance of her new single “Freedom,” No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani epitomized her new song “Looking Hot” with an Emilio Pucci crystal-embellished houndstooth jacket, and Korean pop sensation Psy shocked the audience when he brought out special guest MC Hammer for a “2 Legit 2 Quit” and “Gangham Style” dance mash-up to close the show. “With Psy I knew right away that he’s a good guy,” MC Hammer told reporters after the performance. “I told him dance has only moved the planet four times. James Brown with his dance shifted the planet. Michael Jackson with his dance shifted the planet. Yours truly, Hammertime, shifted the planet. And now Psy shifted the planet. So, to be with somebody who shifted the planet, and have fun—I loved doing it and we had a great time together.” Click through to see all our favorite performances!
