#TheQuench: Nicki Minaj Opens Up About Mariah Carey Feud + Calls Out Barbara Walters

Ahhh yessss...

Ms. Minaj has relaxed, related, and released by finally addressing feud rumors between she and her American Idol co-host, Mariah Carey. On the latest episode of her new E! reality show, "My Truth" she speaks candidly about the beef, its players, and even blasts Barbara Walters for her involvement!

In summation, The Pink Pop Diva declares that what the cameras did not film was Mariah incessantly antagonizing her minutes before the now infamous argument between the two took place. Long story short, Nicki cracks and storms off to prevent any further escalation. Soo, she keeps quiet on it thinking the whole mess will blow over quickly. But alas! Somehow, Barbara Walters gets wind and proceeds to goes on record stating that Nicki threatened MC with a gun and that she is "unpredictable." To that Nicki says directly to the show cameras:

"Am I not good enough for you to get my side, because I'm a little black girl that raps?" she said, addressing Walters directly. "Because if I was J. Lo, you would've called J. Lo's camp. But are we not good enough for you Barbara? 'Cause you wasn't even there when I was on the show Barbara. So I guess I'm not good enough but I'm only good enough for you to tell people I'm 'unpredictable,' when you don't f-----g know me?"

Oh wow! Going in are we? And bringing race into the matter? Ooooowee! I sure do hope Ms. Walters responds. I shall be standing by.

Do you think Minaj had a point or was she being dramatic?

#SayItAintSo: Voice of Elmo On Leave After Denying Relationship W/ Teen

 Double You. Tee. Eff.

Now this....this breaks my heart!

Kevin Clash, the voice behind one of America's most lovable children's characters, is currently fending off allegations that he engaged in inappropriate behavior with a teenage male while working at the Sesame Street Workshops. 

In June, the workshop heard from a 23-year-old man who claimed that he had "a relationship" with Clash beginning when he was 16 years old, the workshop said in a written statement.

The statement did not use the word "sexual."

"We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action. We met with the accuser twice and had repeated communications with him. We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation. We also conducted a thorough investigation and found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. Although this was a personal relationship unrelated to the workplace, our investigation did reveal that Kevin exercised poor judgment and violated company policy regarding internet usage and he was disciplined," the Sesame Street Workshop statement said.

"Kevin insists that the allegation of underage conduct is false and defamatory and he is taking actions to protect his reputation. We have granted him a leave of absence to do so.

Ay yi yi! Of course, Mr. Clash's absence won't keep Elmo from appearing in current or future Sesame Street airings. (Thank Goodness!)  But whether these allegations are true or not, this is still sad.
