LOS ANGELES (AP) – Neither Nicki Minaj nor Mariah Carey immediately jumped at the chance to be a judge on “American Idol.” Minaj tells the Hollywood Reporter she didn’t know if it was cool to be that accessible, someone on TV every week. She says she’s still surprised she said yes. Carey says she hesitated, too, until her husband Nick Cannon said she should do it because “it’s the top.”
