Stylewatch Style News Now 01 / 31 / 2013 at 04:15 PM ET Dave Spencer/Splash News Online Who: Mariah Carey Where: Enjoying the unseasonably warm weather in N.Y.C. Wednesday Diagnosis: All symptoms indicate that Carey has taken Throwback Thursday too literally and believes its 1997. Her outfit suffers from time warp hallucinations, unnecessarily bare midriff and mermaid-skirt-itis. This is a particularly serious case, believed to be more toxic than Glitter . Prescription: Keep the awesome leather jacket and diva shades, then incinerate everything else and start from scratch. A relaxed, flattering pink A-line dress will allow her to still show a little skin in an elegant way. Well prescribe a healthy dose of on-trend single-sole heels to combat the divas longterm platform pump addiction, but unfortunately, it may be too late to save her.

Mariah Carey (Dave Spencer/Splash News) After last weeks freezing temperatures, New Yorkers were celebrating the warmer weather the tropical 50s! on Wednesday, but one Big Apple babe may have taken the celebration a little too far: Mariah Carey.

The 42-year-old diva and hubby Nick Cannon split their time between their Bel Air pad and palatial New York City apartment, but for someone who lives in Los Angeles for part of the year youd think a high of 50 degrees would still be a little chilly for her. Perhaps she was just prepping her wardrobe before heading back to su

On Wednesday, American Idol was full of surprises. But even emergency evacuations and absentee judges could not prepare viewers for the biggest shock of all, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj joining forces to save a contestant. On Wednesday night, American Idol auditions returned; first in what looked to be a vacant lobby of a San Antonio hotel, a hotel which happenened to have the worst acoustics EVER, and then in the second half of the show, to Long Beach aboard the historic Queen Mary. The Queen Mary had better acoustics, that is, until it began sinking to the bottom of the sea. Okay, well it didn't sink but at one point the fire alarms sounded which prompted the ever astute Mariah to exclaim, "It sounds like some type of warning!" Thanks to Mariah's razor sharp powers of observation (and Nigel Lythgoe informing them that they had to obey the alarms) all four judges were well on their way to the lifeboats before the warning turned out to be a false alarm.

Photo: Getty Emergency: It seems like American Idol viewers are responding more to Nicki Minaj than Mariah Carey. This is unspeakable. Mariah is the best, pseudo-craziest music legend we have. We need to respect her and everything she stands for, and that means tearing down Nicki Minaj at all costs. In this edition of Weeklings!, I teach you about why Nicki is inferior to Mariah, why Mariah is a bronze goddess sent from planet Mimi, and why I laugh at Nicki supporters. Sigh. Ryan Seacrest is losing his tan from all this shade. You can find previous Weeklings! episodes here.

Last week, American Idol had pretty much set the stage for what to expect in the coming season. Nicki Minaj was obnoxious and over-the-top. Keith Urban was mellow, laid back and easily overshadowed by Nicki's nasally antics, Mariah Carey thought she was above it all (especially Nicki) and Randy Jackson was, well Randy was Randy.

On a NASCAR race track, tempers flare, often hitting their brink to the point that, well, accidents happen. During Wednesday night's "American Idol" auditions at Charlotte Motor Speedway, ill will flared to its breaking point, as the long-hyped Nicki Minaj vs. Mariah Carey fight/argument/blow-up finally happened, sending the auditions into a brief siesta while things simmered down. The disagreement, which had been a long time coming following a series of snide remarks and catty looks between the two artists, began during the audition of 20-year-old Summer Cunningham, who sang a soulful, pretty "Lean on Me." Afterward, Cunningham explained that she "did the country thing" for a little while as an artist, though she seemed to let on that the genre had not worked out for her. The statement immediately triggered a sea change in judge Keith Urban , who proceeded to question Summer on what kind of artist she sees herself as; Randy Jackson and Carey joined

"American Idol" is under way on Fox. The show features auditions in Charlotte, N.C. Here's what's happened so far. The show kicks off with a tease to that infamous TMZ clip featuring a Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey fight, which happened in Charlotte. Haven't head about it? Here's a quick refresher. Of course, we won't see the full fight clip immediately. Let's fill some time with something rare...contestants. Naomi Morris, 28, flaunts some pretty extreme neon makeup...and cleavage. Nicki wants he to change her name to "Omi." In the end, it doesn't matter. She botches her rendition of "Respect," yet somehow sticks around long enough to sing a second tune: "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." She's unanimously rejected for Hollywood. Mariah offers a classic line: "Don't let this get you down because you're a beautiful girl." Joel Nemoyer, 20, is a quirky guy who sings "Feelin' Good' while laying

The feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey heats up on the talent show, "American Idol". Mariah slammed the "Super Bass" singer after she admitted she rejected an AI contestant all because she was wearing the same eye shadow as Nicki. Mariah and the other judges, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson had praised Stephanie Schimel for her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream". But Nicki rejected her. Later on, Nicki admitted the reason for her snub was that the 20-year-old hopeful was wearing the same pink eye shadow as her. Mariah couldn't believe it saying, "This is what I deal with. This is what I deal with when I come into my job".

Mariah Carey is awesome, but not because she's completely aware of herself at all times or completely unaware of herself. Her real gift? That she is the most half -aware celebrity in existence. This is a woman who loves winking decadence and snide one-liners as much as any drag queen, but because she's such an unmistakable diva and Leona Helmsley -level snob, she's oblivious to how ridiculous her attitudes and self-absorption sometimes are. That is a very exciting spectrum of nuttiness. She's knowingly and unknowingly outrageous, and her vacillating self-concept makes her both a dependable goof and an unpredictable spectacle. I love her. I also love American Idol and will again recap it for its 12th season. While Nicki Minaj is garnering good buzz for her work as a new judge, here are seven reasons I'm most rooting for Mariah's success on the show. 1. She once gave us a Bewitched-style alter ego named Bianca. The year was 1999. The video was "Heartbreaker
