WHOA!?!: Nicki Files Restraining Order Against DJ Khaled After Proposal

Has DJ Khaled taken his infatuation with Nicki Minaj a step too far?

As everyone is quite aware of now, Khaled went on MTV Thursday to profess his undying love for Nicki, and even asked her to take his hand in marriage. With that proposal, Khaled whipped out a 10-karat diamond ring worth $500,000. But, despite his efforts, everyone was still left wondering--is this real?

According to HipHop365, Nicki found no endearment in Khaled's proposal, and actually saw it as just the latest move in a long list of questionable actions. He's sent her flowers several times, showed up at her shows all across the country, and has been overall overbearing. The Young Money rapper reportedly filed for a restraining order against Khaled in the state of New York.

Although, could both of these artists be staging this whole drama? YMCMB publicity stunts certainly aren't unheard of, as Nicki and Drake pretended to get married back in 2010 as a publicity stunt hoax.

Nicki still hasn't spoke publicly about the ordeal.

DAMN!: All Four American Idol Judges Given the Boot

According to The Wrap, none of the four 'American Idol' judges will be asked to return next season. Longtime producer Nigel Lythgoe is also expected to be fired.

“All four are gone,” the insider told TheWrap. “They feel they’ve lost their core audience and they want it back.”

In an effort to attract younger viewers, Fox is set to make major changes to the show, including an entirely new judging panel. All four current judges have options to return for another season, but Fox won't be picking them up, according to the insider, who said, "No more big checks for divas."

Fox's major restructuring was spurred by the show's plummeting viewership. Its ratings are already down 22 percent this season and it hit a series low for ratings last Thursday, attracting only 11 million viewers. This is a major problem during May Sweeps, where ratings numbers are used to calculate advertising rates.

The network has also resolved to stop paying the over-the-top salaries it's been handing out to its judges, i.e. Carey's reported $18 million package, Minaj's $12 million deal, and former judge Lopez's $15 million salary.

Time will tell if Fox can save 'American Idol.'

Over Halle Berry?: Was Nicki Minaj In The Running To Play Storm In New X-Men Film?

It's been almost 7 years since her last appearance in an X-Men movie, but Halle Berry is still the only Storm. The 46-year-old pregnant actress is slated to play the role of Storm in the upcoming "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" movie, though another prominent star reportedly gave her a run for her money.

Apparently, Nicki Minaj was in contention for the role of Storm, but evidently she didn't exactly wow the casting crew. WOuld you have rather seen a younger star like Minaj in the role, or is Halle still perfectly fine?
