Nicole Scherzinger was "Right There" on "American Idol" on Thursday (May 19), as she performed her new single alongside 50 Cent.
The former Pussycat Doll and season 10 "Dancing With the Stars" champion slinked across the "Idol" stage in a barely-there white skirt and revealing top, and was joined onstage by a team of 10 backup dancers. She opened the performance in silhouette surrounded by purple light, and got right down to the business of the song. "I love when you put it right there, yeah, yeah," Scherzinger sang, gyrating her hips to the tropical-sounding track, produced by Jim Jonsin (T.I.'s "Whatever You Like," Eminem's "Space Bound").
Donning a fitted hat turned backward and cocked to the side along with a jacket, jeans and dangling chain, 50 Cent showed up midway through the song and quickly spit his eight-bar verse, before disappearing suddenly from the stage. 50's quick cameo — his "American Idol" debut — amounted to about 35 seconds of screen time.
"Right There" was released to iTunes this week and was in the upper-70s on iTunes' top songs chart on Thursday night. The single comes from Scherzinger's Killer Love album, which was released in the U.K. in March and is due out in the States later this year. The project has been gestating for years and has seen several massive delays, even after several singles were released in 2007, when the album carried the title Her Name is Nicole. The American version will reportedly feature a revamped track list from the international edition, including an unreleased collaboration with Snoop Dogg.
Scherzinger's appearance also served as a bit of cross-promotion for Fox; come fall, she'll co-host Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" alongside Steve Jones. Scherzinger appeared in an "X Factor" promo that aired at the end of Thursday's "Idol" broadcast.

Snooki's Best Grammy Red-Carpet Moments, From Nicki Minaj To J.Lo

As any fan of "Jersey Shore" can attest, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is a walking highlight reel. The words and quotes that emit from the pint-size, pouf-wearing, self-proclaimed guidette are so unpredictable and entertaining, who else would we enlist to co-host our Grammy red-carpet live stream?
Lucky for MTV News and all our viewers, Snooki did not disappoint. From philosophizing about Gaga's arrival in an egg to bonding with Drake's mom and talking hair poufs with Nicki Minaj, our "Jersey Shore" girl did us proud.
Here are a few more of Snooki's highlights. First, there was a flirty encounter with Bruno Mars.
"Oh yeah that's hot, I love it," Snooki told Mars, after he demonstrated some fist-pumping dance moves. "You look good tonight, I'm just sayin'."
"Hit me up when the cameras aren't on, you know what I'm saying?" Mars said. "You and me could just kick it."
Snooki's response? A surprised/indecisive "Meep."
Next up, there was Gaga's entrance. "Is that an egg?" she asked co-host Sway Calloway and then waved and shouted out, "Gaga, I love you!" as the egg passed by.
"Sway is actually a gorilla juicehead," Snooki told "Glee" star Matthew Morrison, while explaining the finer points of "GTL" and the guido lifestyle.
"A 'G.A.H.,' " an amused Morrison added about Sway. "A 'Guido at Heart.' "
In addition to naming names, categorizing people and making plans with her interviewees, Snooki also managed to "go there," in terms of asking very pointed — and sometimes very personal — questions. Her chat with superstar Drake and his mom was a prime example.
"Did you and Rihanna smush?" she asked Drake of his past romantic encounters with his "What's My Name" co-star.
"Oh, goodness," a dumbstruck Drake responded. "Ah ... this is just, ah ... " he trailed off.
"Let's snog," Jay Sean offered (a British slang term for make out or kiss).
"Snug?" Snooki asked.
"No, snog. S-N-O-G," Sean explained, even though it was clear Snooki didn't know what he was talking about.
"Snug?" she asked again. "Does that mean smush?"
Another doozy occurred with Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony. "You're f---ing hot in person," she told J.Lo.
And finally, a sweet little encounter with Nicki Minaj.
"Is this your real hair?" Snooki asked while reaching up to touch Minaj's "Bride of Frankenstein"-inspired look.
"Snooks," Minaj responded, sounding mildly offended. "What do you mean, 'Is this my real hair?' "
"I'm jealous," Snooki answered.
"Oh. I wanted you to wear your pouf today so we could be matching," Minaj said.
"I did," Snooki said. "But it deflated from the heat."

Bruno Mars, B.o.B, Janelle Monae Turn In Throwback Grammy Set
Pompadour-sporting stars rock medley of 'Grenade,' 'Nothin' on You' and 'Cold War.'

Bruno Mars headed into Grammy night on top, with seven nominations under his belt for his singing and songwriting efforts. He has already scored snaps for his studio work, but on Sunday night, the 25-year-old Doo-Wops & Hooligans crooner showcased his stage skills with fellow promising genre-bending stars B.o.B and Janelle Monáe.
Following a string intro, Mars helmed the keys and gently crooned a softer version of his #1 smash with B.o.B, "Nothin' on You." The ATL hitmaker then took the mic, rocking a dapper old-school look and adding a scholarly touch with a monocle as he sang and rhymed the lyrics. Monáe kept the menswear theme going in a voluminous cape, quietly chiming in at a clear podium as B.o.B turned to croon to her.
Check out pictures from the Grammy show here.
Suddenly, a faux mid-century black-and-white broadcast introducing Mars took over the screen, and then the live telecast switched to a retro two-tone look. Mars looked perfectly in place as he belted a slowed-down yet soul-injected version of his own #1 single "Grenade," with B.o.B on the piano. A crew of background singers helped transform the pop hit into a doo-wop effort, complete with a few stuttering dance steps; Mars even got on his knees during the bluesy arrangement in a move that would have made legendary funkateer James Brown proud.
Then Monáe stepped up for her ArchAndroid cut "Cold War" in her trademark button-down shirt-and-slacks outfit. Mars hopped on the drums as the lights flashed, fog rolled in and Monáe added her own vocal pyrotechnics to the mix. The songstress then took the performance from retro to rowdy by sailing into the audience for a brief crowd-surf as B.o.B strummed away on the guitar. The upstart trio's upbeat set scored a standing ovation.
Last year, Mars was floored when he first heard he'd racked up seven nods, but added that scoring accolades isn't even his favorite part of his hitmaking gig.
"The funnest part of our job is that we don't know who we're working with next," Mars told MTV News in December about working his songwriting and production crew the Smeezingtons. "We're fans and students of music, and we just love to work with whoever wants to work, whoever wants to write a song. Rock, hip-hop, R&B — we just want to do music. And we're happy just doing that."
