Mariah Carey still in talks for American Idol

Mariah Carey is still in negotiations to become an American Idol judge! According to E! News, the Touch My Body diva — who’s married to America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon — thinks joining the TV talent show will be great for her career.

“She wants it,” said one insider. “She’s seen what America’s Got Talent has done for Nick and thinks it will be a good career move.”

The source says Idol execs are keen to have Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and Carey, with a possible alternating guest judge’s chair.

“Randy and Mariah have great chemistry,” said the insider.

Cannon recently revealed that Carey would “love” to be a judge on American Idol.

“You know what? She talks about it,” he said earlier this month. “She says, ‘I would love to do that.’

“She is one of the greatest singers of our time; she would be great. I don’t know if she has enough time, though, but if they could work with her schedule, I know she would love to do Idol.”
