Randy Jackson to manage Mariah Carey?

American Idol judge Randy Jackson is reportedly close to signing a deal to manage the career of Mariah Carey.

The duo previously worked together in their Columbia Records days when Jackson was VP of A&R during the 1990s and Carey was signed to the label from 1988 to 2001.

Jackson also has produced, co-written and appeared on many of Carey's tunes and he even played bass with her in the studio and on the road.

Carey was previously signed to Chris Lighty's Violator Entertainment, who also represents the likes of 50 Cent, LL Cool J and Soulja Boy.

Earlier this month Jackson was in full management mode as he accompanied Carey to film the music video for All I Want For Christmas Is You, her duet with Justin Bieber, which appears on his Under the Mistletoe album.

A few days later, he was seen at Carey's label offices where he was taking meetings. A source told The Hollywood Reporter: "He's very much in the mix."
