Nicki Minaj sat down with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show to once again explain that the feud between her and fellow American Idol judge Mariah Carey is no publicity stunt. She did explain however that the tension between the two ladies is nothing personal and that she has always respected Carey. “I’m one of her biggest fans in the world,” she said.

Apparently the fights come from the fact that they are both very passionate about their work. “A lot of it starts off like we’re joking, but passionate and both crazy, “she explained. “And then sometimes it just goes, ‘Roar,’ and you can’t really stop it.”

Minaj acknowledged to Leno the fact that she has quite the temper but has been attempting to keep it under control for the past year. Fans are already eagerly awaiting the start of the new American Idol season to see just how well these two divas are able to play nice or if Nicki’s temper will get the better of her.

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan was layed to rest yesterday at Forest Lawn cemetery and family, friends and former costars came out to remember the big man with a big heart. Best known for his Oscar-nominated role in Stephen King’s The Green Mile  Duncan worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood and they all describe the man as a 6 and half foot tall giant with a heart of gold. Hart Hanson, creator of Bones and The Finder, talked about all the fans that would approach Duncan seeking hugs rather than autographs. Jay Leno fought back tears as he had the following to say of Duncan: “In this cynical world of Hollywood, here was a guy who was happy for every job he got. Just to see such a pure heart and pure kindness…and to see him taken so early, there really are no sadder words than what might have been.”
