"{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;\"&lt;strong&gt;American Idol&lt;/strong&gt;\" producer &lt;strong&gt;Nigel Lythgoe&lt;/strong&gt; is adamant ... the bitter feud between &lt;strong&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Nicki Minaj&lt;/strong&gt; is as real as it gets -- and his proof lies in simple logic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=\"float: right;\"&gt;&lt;!-- relatedpoll --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Nigel was out in L.A. yesterday when we asked for the final word -- did he or did he not stage the feud for ratings??? -- and Nigel replied, \"I have no idea why I would be doing it [for ratings] five months before the show went out.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added, \"I would only do ANYTHING for ratings a month before the show went out. They've got my timing wrong.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Translation: keep your eyes out for a crazy \"Idol\" ratings ploy in three months."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
