It was the battle of the divas on the American Idol season 12 finale in LA last night, and we're not just talking about contestants Candice Glover and Kree Harrison facing off for the final time. Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey both took the stage to sing during the finale, with Mariah singing a medley of her biggest hits in a formfitting white gown and J Lo energetically performing "Live It Up" alongside Pitbull. Judges Keith Urban and Randy Jackson also got in on the action on stage, making Nicki Minaj the only judge who didn't do a performance of some kind. This all came hot on the heels of persistent rumors that Nicki won't return to Idol next year.
J Lo's American Idol show marks the first time she's returned to the program since she stepped down as a judge last year. There have been rumors that Jennifer may return to American Idol, and she said that she might consider making a comeback during an interview at the nuvoTV upfronts in NYC on Wednesday. Jennifer wasn't the only star who made a splash on Idol last night — Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, and Taylor Hicks all returned to the show that gave them their start. The night ended on an emotional note when Glover was crowned the winner of American Idol.
Jennifer Aniston put her fit frame on display last night when she attended the LA premiere of Call Me Crazy: A Five Film in a black Christian Dior ensemble. She was joined by another Jen — Jennifer Hudson — who stars in the film alongside an A-list cast that includes Melissa Leo, Octavia Spencer, Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, and Jennifer Aniston's buddy Chelsea Handler. The film deals with mental illness and Jennifer serves as an executive producer for the movie as well as the Five series, which airs on Lifetime. She opened up about the touchy subject that dominates her new film at the Call Me Crazy opening last night, admitting that she and her producing partners picked the subject because it affects so many people. Jennifer said, "We were sort of banging our heads around for the second round of Five and this sort of came to us and it's because so many people have been affected or someone you know is affected."
Even though Jennifer attended the event without fiancé Justin Theroux, he and the couple's upcoming nuptials were still a hot topic of the night. Jennifer said she still hasn't picked out a wedding dress, despite earlier reports that she would tie the knot soon after she wrapped up filming for the still-untitled film based on an Elmore Leonard novel.

Miley hasn't confirmed when the new record will come out, but she did give fans a taste of her new sound last week when she and Snoop Dogg released a new single together titled "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks." She has been spending the weekend in Miami and was spotted smoking a cigarette with a male friend on a hotel balcony on Saturday.

In keeping with this year's Oscar tribute to movie musicals, Jennifer Hudson performed her rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from the movie that earned her an Oscar, Dreamgirls.
