The other night on FOX's hilarious Cleveland Show, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, ?uestlove, and Will.i.am all appeared as guest stars on "Menace II Secret Society" - a controversial episode that is playing up the much-talked about Illuminati. The music stars are a part of the secret society (Kanye as 'Kenny West', his previous character) and Cleveland joins and helps.

I'm intrigued to sit down and watch the episode above. For those who did, what did you think of the hip hop illuminati episode?

Well its time to save the date people! The 12th season of American Idol is set to premiere January 16th and the 17th at 8pm ET on FOX. New to idol this year is pop artist Nicki Minaj, country star Keith Urban, and the legendary icon Mariah Carey.

Nicki Minaj and her many personalities will reportedly join Mariah Carey at the judging table on American Idol as stated by US Weekly. Two sources have confirmed that Nicki is 100% in.

"I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it," one insider reveals. "A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening."

A second source says the "Super Bass" rapper, 29, is "100% confirmed to judge American Idol." Rumors of Minaj joining Idol have been running ramped for awhile now, and today or sometime this week seems to be the we might get a confirmed yes from either Fox or Minaj herself.

This is a great career move if Nicki does in fact join Idol. Two number albums, world tour, Adidas deal, and Pepsi deal Minaj can’t be stopped. Why would she pass up the chance to take her career to new highest, and to also sit along side legend Mariah Carey? It’s a win win if you ask me.
