Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey caught in taped tiff

We've heard plenty about the rumored bubbling feud between new "American Idol" judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, but now TMZ appears to have captured some evidence. The website's obtained video of "Idol's" auditions in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday, which were reportedly interrupted when Minaj blew up at Carey at the judges' table. It's hard to hear exactly what Minaj is saying in the clip, but it is pretty obvious that she's not pleased. (Or, pretending not to be pleased - this is a reality show, after all.) TMZ reports that at one point, Minaj can be heard saying, "I told them I'm not f****n' putting up with your f*****g highness over there ... Figure it the f*** out." The site reports that the disagreement happened over a contestant's performance, with "Idol's" third new judge, Keith Urban, stuck in the middle. Update, 2:31 p.m.: "There was a very heated, intense argument toward the end of the day," "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest said on his radio show Wednesday. "I was outside with the contestant's family at the time. Both of these judges, as I have said before, come with different perspective[s]. Nicki's got a specific perspective about what's playing and hot on the chart right now. Mariah has got that iconic experience and that legend status, being one of the greatest singers alive. ... [Y]ou're going to have different opinions, which is fantastic." That said, those different viewpoints "went a little far" yesterday. "It was heated, it did go too far, to the point where the producers said with just a few more contestants left, let's call it a day," Seacrest recalled. Gossip of a feud between Carey and Minaj surfaced before the colorful rapper even officially signed on to "Idol," and the two gave an attempt to squash the rumors at a press conference in September.
