Nicki Minaj 'American Idol Deal Stalled'

Nicki Minaj's [uuid=55d32091-4d8f-44b2-ab17-477630016b90]American Idoljudging panel is reportedly being hampered by disagreements between producers on the show and a dispute regarding her former agent.
The New York Post claims that there has been a "battle behind the scenes" over whether or not to hire Minaj - partly because of her diva reputation.
A source said: "There is some heated debate. There are some producers who really want her. Others have been trying to block it."
And there is also apparently resistance to the idea of hiring the pop star from the Creative Artists Agency - which represents host Ryan Seacrest and many Idol contestants, but which Minaj reportedly fired as her representation last year.
