MARIAH CAREY IS THE NEW AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE

TMZ reports that: It’s official … Mariah Carey has joined “American Idol.”
The announcement was made moments ago at the TV Critics Association Summer Press tour in Beverly Hills.
The 42-year-old singer is rumored to have signed a deal worth $12 million for her first year … the same amount of $$$ Jennifer Lopez made during he first year with the show.

I really believe that's a good idea. I hope there aren't any super diva moments though. Mariah has been known to be pretty snappy as well. Congrats Mimi.
