idolbloglive.com – Season 12

Ace Young proposed to Diana DeGarmo on the Season 11 finale of American Idol and now they are officially married.

Randy Jackson left before season 12 ended. Mariah Carey quit earlier today and now Nicki Minaj has officially given her resignation before she too was handed her pink slip.

While she was most likely going to be fired anyways, Mariah Carey has officially quit American Idol before she could be handed her pink slip. Oh well. She sucked as a judge.

Mariah Carey just made it official — she will NOT be back at the “American Idol” judges’ table for a second season … just as everyone expected.

Mariah’s PR people announced her exit … before further confirming rumors that ‘AI’ producers want to make a clean sweep for next season.

As we previously reported … ‘Idol’ is extremely interested in bringing back Jennifer Lopez to judge next season — and keeping Mariah and J.Lo would clearly be a bad fit … and a pricey one at that.

No word yet on Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj — but Randy Jackson already announced he won’t be back.
