Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban, American Idol
Celebs get the pink slip like everyone else. Check out our list of the most famous celebrity firings.
The drama behind-the-scenes of American Idol is turning out to be more interesting than the show itself, which may be precisely why the network is rumored to have fired all four judges. Not one to be dumped, Randy Jackson made it clear to the press that he quit the show, not the other way around. He was, however, axed by his friend and co-host Carey, who gave him the pink slip last week as her manager.
