1. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have allegedly set a wedding date
Could the long-awaited West-Kardashian nuptials finally be on the horizon? According to Radar Online, Kanye and Kim plan to have a wedding ceremony in the Los Angeles area shortly after the birth of their child, assuming they can get that pesky "Kim is still married to another guy" detail out of the way in time. The report adds that West "has made it completely clear to Kim that he does not want ANY media at the wedding," which will make it the first aspect of Kardashian's life not documented by the press since 2007.

"All dem #1s but JLo phone ringing," tweeted Minaj in response, referring to last month's rumors that producers might seek to replace Carey with Jennifer Lopez next season. The fact that the feud has flared up just as reports of American Idol's declining ratings have begun to circulate is, of course, a total coincidence.
