"Steven Tyler has revealed that he believes the recent spat between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey was a publicity stunt.  A video of Minaj and Carey arguing during a taping of American Idol recently leaked online, with sources adding that Minaj later physically threatened her fellow judge.    Producers of the Fox reality series have since played down the incident, insisting that production on the show is running smoothly and that the two music artists are not feuding.  When recently asked by TMZ whether he believed the leaked video was a stunt, former American Idol judge Tyler answered: &amp;quot;Of course, are you kidding me?&amp;quot; Tyler announced his departure from the show earlier this year, citing a desire to refocus his attention on his band Aerosmith.  The 64-year-old added that he is &amp;quot;never going back&amp;quot; to American Idol. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
