Mariah Carey will be joining “American Idol” as a judge next season. After Jennifer Lopez confirmed that she will not return, reports of the pop diva as a judge hit the net.
Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly confirmed the news while on the phone with Carey in front of television critics on Monday. The salary offered has yet to be revealed but sources say it can be anywhere between 14 and 17 million. Nick Cannon did say Idol couldn’t afford his wife.
