"Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey&amp;#039;s recent spat on the set of American Idol has been played down by executives of the show.  &amp;#039;Starships&amp;#039; singer Minaj was reported to have launched a furious tirade against Carey during a taping of the show, which leaked onto the internet last week.   However, producers of the show have now insisted that the argument between Minaj and Carey was an isolated incident, and that the new judging panel works well.  In an official statement, producers said: &amp;quot;This is one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels we&amp;#039;ve ever had. We love and support all of the judges and the fantastic work they are doing, and we can&amp;#039;t imagine a better group to find the next American Idol. &amp;quot;Despite all the accusations and media speculation - much of which is inaccurate - production is going extremely well today and the judges are focused on finding the best talent here in Baton Rouge (Louisiana).&amp;quot; Minaj is apparently angry with Idol bosses over the altercation, holding them responsible for Carey&amp;#039;s alleged rude behaviour.
