Craig Harris/WENN.com Mariah Carey proved she is still a diva at heart after she reportedly demanded that no close-up camera shots be taken of her at Russell Simmons' charity bash over the weekend. The new American Idol judge was an honoree at the Def Jam founder's Art For Life benefit held at his plush mansion in the Hamptons, so it comes as no surprise that all eyes were on her. Despite recent reports that she hasn't made any diva requests for her rider on the talent show for which she signed an $18 million contract, Mariah wasn't prepared for cameras to zoom in on her during her speech. According to the NYPost , Mariah "wanted to avoid close-ups of her face," adding that the screens were switched off while she was on stage and turned back on again when she left. In a bid for rumour control, a rep for the event insisted: "Mariah looked stunning." Mariah was accompanied by her husband Nick Cannon and were also joined by the entire Simmons clan, Me...

Mariah Carey lounges on the set of her "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" video. When she's not busy threatening to steal Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera 's judging spotlight with her new gig as an "American Idol" judge , Mariah Carey 's got everyone buzzing about her brand new video, "Triumphant (Get 'Em)." Now, after posting a photo from the set of "Triumphant," Mariah's also got everyone talking about her amazing legs. But that'd probably happen anyway, wouldn't it? Check out a still from Mariah Carey's "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" video after the jump. For "Triumphant", Mariah is teaming with Meek Mill and the Teflon Don himself, Rick Ross . For the video however, she is teaming with a stunning coral robe and a body that does NOT look like it bore two children .

justjared.com Was it just me, or did the news of Mariah Careys selection as a Season 12 American Idol judge send music fans into a frenzy last week? It seemed that those whod abandoned the show after Fantasias final shoulder shrug will set their DVRs for the shows season premiere in January. Anyone who owned a radio in the 1990s could not escape Careys reign as a beckoning pop princess, and its not unwarranted that the public is excited about Careys stint at the Idol judges panel. Shes got more than a pair of ears that know pitchy when they hear it; Carey is standing before a generation of aspirants who know her as a singers singer, a formidable icon whose technical prowess and vocal calisthenics (a vocal range thats said to range between five and seven octaves, the ability to sing what the New York Times once called a rich, husky alto to dog-whistle high notes) have driven her songs to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart eighteen times since her 1990 debut. Different fr...

In a statement released the day her hiring was announced, Carey made the job sound like a mission of mercy. "As a singer, songwriter and producer, it's going to be fun and rewarding to help find new talent and give back to American Idol ," she said. But what's in it for the Grammy-laden singer with the supersonic range (besides a multimillion-dollar salary for five months of part-time work)? To answer that, you have to go a little deeper into the statement: "I am currently in the studio working on my new album and its first single, 'Triumphant,' which will be out early next month." There you have a better clue to Carey's motivation. As Idol heads into its 12th season, the show has flipped its original mandate. It has become less about finding unknown singing talent and more about providing a promotional platform for its famous, if faded, celebrity judges. You'll hear a lot in coming months about Mariah's being one of the most successful ...

Mariah Careys first American Idol promotional photo has been released into the wild by FOX , and features the 42-year-old diva in a figure-hugging sequined orange dress. Its not exactly the most natural pose, but I think thats a smile? Sort of? Maybe? Anyway, the five-time Grammy winner was announced as an Idol judge earlier this week. Since then, weve heard word of her salary ($18 million per series, reportedly with an option to renew for a second season) and insiders spilling the beans on how the diva is a nightmare to work with , which doesnt sound like Mariah Carey at all . The next season of American Idol will air in early 2013, and the luring of Carey to the judging panel has been widely viewed as a bid by executives to rescue a show which saw audiences dip last season. Careys deal makes her the highest-paid judge of any reality show ever made; TMZ reports that season 11 judge Jennifer Lopez, who Carey has replaced, raked in $12 million per series for her work. Other new ...

Mariah Carey will appear raw and uncut on American Idol, insists Nick Cannon. The singers husband says she will show her true character on the show. Nick promised fans that Mariah will give the judging role one hundred per cent and will reveal her funny and feisty personality. Theyre about to get the whole Mariah Carey, raw and uncut! Nick told Access Hollywood. Shes going to be amazing people dont know my wifes sense of humour. As well as revealing her fun side, Mariah will show her strong and determined character too. Nick claims Mariah can be hardnosed when she wants, especially when it comes to the vocal ability of the contestants. Shes very serious about music and singing, Nick continued. Shell probably be the toughest judge thats ever been on [the] show. Mariah has taken the place of Jennifer Lopez on the judging panel. Many have speculated the singer might make surprising demands as she is famed for her extensive riders. Nick has joked his wife has every intention of acting like...

by Bruna Nessif Tue., Jul. 24, 2012 6:30 PM PDT Cindy Ord/Getty Images What's not to love about Mariah Carey ? It's clear that the powerhouse singer doesn't need a microphone in front of her to entertain us, because her quirky personality does the job already. And now with the news of Carey becoming a judge on American Idol , we can only hope that she'll give us more memories to giggle about. But until then, let's remember some of the oldies but goodies. MORE:Is Mariah Carey Too Famous for American Idol ? 1. Sit Back and Relax: One of the singer's ventures aside from music, was convincing people at home to buy different items on QVC. What we adored about her attempt to do this, though, was not so much her sweet charm, but her nonchalant approach to the whole thing. For example, she was pregnant and her feet hurt. Solution? Kick back and relax on the couch while doing the show. We loved (as we're sure she did, too) watching this " moment ." 2. Ic...

Fans are still reeling over the fact that superstar diva Mariah Carey has officially joined the judging panel for the next season of "American Idol." With a reported $17 million payday, fans are hoping Carey will bring her chart-topping experience and expertise to the "Idol" panel. "Mariah Carey is an excellent singer. She's going to bring something new to 'American Idol' that I think a lot of the other judges don't bring," "Idol" watcher Jerome Smith told MTV News. "She has a lot of experience, so her experience is going to be something new to the show that's going to be really interesting to watch." With its largest drop in ratings last season, Carey will certainly draw in a new audience that will tune in week after week to watch the music icon. "I think Mariah Carey will be a great addition and I definitely think I'd watch 'American Idol' more just because I really love her music," Kelsey F...

I have been such a faithful fan over the years, but I am so turned off by the amount of money these judges are demanding. When JLO was on the show, it was all about her, commercials for her clothes line and albums, she would sing and dance with her hubby and boyfriend. It made my stomach turn, it seems the show has lost the foundation of what it was based on, THE CONTESTANTS! I think Mariah can sing, don't get me wrong, but frankly she is such a diva it is a turn off. I don't think I could even watch with her on the show, 'cause she will want to take the show over just like JLO did. I hate to see a good show go to the DAWGS, sorry Randy.

Can Mariah Carey save "American Idol"? Probably not, but it's going to be pretty entertaining watching her try. As you probably know by now, on Monday, Carey confirmed she'd be bolstering the show's depleted roster of judges, which, at the moment, features Randy Jackson (unless he decides to switch to the less-demanding "mentor" role , sort of like an aging slugger taking a DH job in the American League) and absolutely no one else. It was the first in what will certainly be a series of moves designed to reinvigorate the flagging show, which is coming off its steepest ratings drop in history and is in danger of being lapped by competitors like "The Voice" and "The X Factor" if not in ratings, then in genuine cultural currency . And while turning "Idol" around may be a tall order, I'd like to think Carey's the woman for the job. Of course, that's not to say she'll actually succeed at bringing "Idol...

Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly announced her signing to a meeting of the Television Critics Association on Monday, and then put Carey on speaker phone to confirm the deal. "I am so excited to be joining 'American Idol,'" she said. "This kind of all just happened really quickly." Earlier this month, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez said they were leaving " American Idol " after two years as judges.

Earlier Monday, veteran "Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said there's a slender possibility that Jennifer Lopez might return. His ...
