Or does she? Rumor has it that Mariah is pushing to have friend and fellow musician Lenny Kravitz join the show in some capacity. Will she get her way? The rumors continue to fly regarding the American Idol judging panel. Apparently, Keith Urbans on for next season and Nicki Minaj has been considered for the all-important job. New judge Mariah Carey apparently isnt a big fan of either of these musicians, reportedly predicting that Nicki Minajs presence would turn Idol into a freak show. Ouch! In her ideal world, the Mariah Careys next-door neighbor on the judging panel would be fellow singer Lenny Kravitz. ...

WENN.com Mariah Carey is reportedly still fuming with American Idol producers for trying to win Nicki Minaj to sign a contract, as she is worried the Young Money rapper will "upstage" her. The 'Triumphant (Get em)' singer was announced as a judge on the talent show earlier this month, becoming the first judge to take up a seat on the new-look panel following the departures of Jennifer Lopez, Steve Tyler and Randy Jackson. 'Starships' rapper Nicki was then rumoured to be in talks with producers to join Mariah, however, the Grammy award-winning diva was said to be furious with the new addition as she doesn't want another diva seated next to her. "Mariah is not happy about the idea of Nicki being on the show," an insider told The Sun . "She wanted to be the only woman on the panel. And she certainly doesnt want to work with a woman who is younger than her and could try and upstage her." Do you think Nicki would be a good addition to the pa...

Keith Urban MCT FILE PHOTO Unconfirmed reports say Keith Urban will be sitting next to Mariah Carey, judging the youth of America on Idol. It looks like Nicole Kidmans husband may have gotten himself a new job. According to The Country Vibe , citing unnamed sources, Urban has already signed on to become part of a brand-new American Idol judging panel. After the departure of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, and the rumoured relegation of Randy Jackson to some sort of mentoring role, the producers have been searching high and low. So far, the only official announcement has been about Mariah Carey, but pretty much everyone whos ever picked up a guitar or sung a jaunty auto-tune has been thrown into the rumour mill. And Urban seems like a good choice: hes not going to infringe on Careys super-diva turf and after years of looking at his wifes forehead hes good at pretending that things that arent real are really good. But who will fill the remaining seat or, possibly, seats? Nicki Minaj: ...

Nicki Minaj (Getty) and Keith Urban (PacificCoastNews) Mimi needs some 'Idol' friends. Or at least frenemies. (Fox) It seems like every other day there's a new report about who may or may not be joining Mariah Carey on the American Idol judging panel. The latest news out of The Hollywood Reporter is that Nicki Mina j, rumored for weeks to be in the running for the gig, and country star Keith Urban are nearing deals to join the panel for Idol's 12th season. According to the report, Minaj and Urban have been in talks for weeks with producers. Minaj's Pepsi sponsorship was said to be an early impediment to a deal ( Idol is and always has been a Coca Cola institution), but that issue has been ironed out and the pop star has been offered a deal worth $8 million. Keith Urban, meanwhile, is said to have a deal for $3 to $4 million. Fellow country singer Brad Paisley was also rumored to be in the running for the third seat on the panel, but producers balked at his sal...

The 'Fantasy' hitmaker believes her close friend would be a perfect addition to the panel because of his talent and knowledge of the music industry. A source told HollywoodLife.com: 'Mariah would love to have her dear friend Lenny Kravitz sit next to her on the 'American Idol' judge panel. She thinks he would be the perfect choice because he is extremely talented and knows music inside and out.'

People News Aug 23, 2012, 10:01 GMT Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez has advised Mariah Carey to 'speak from the heart' on 'American Idol'. The singer-and-actress recently departed the talent contest after two seasons as a judge and thinks her successor needs to be as honest as possible with the hopefuls on the show. She told 'Entertainment Tonight': 'So long as she's honest and speaks from the heart and just is herself, I think she'll be fine. 'I always kind of just spoke right from the heart, and how I would want someone to speak to me if I was in that position. It's just about being relaxed and being honest, and being yourself... If you try and think too much about what people might think or what you're saying too much, I think you get lost.'

Phillip Phillips tells MTV News that he hopes "American Idol" judges will be "a little more critical" than last season's. To some, Phillip Phillips' "American Idol" victory was assured from the first moment he moseyed on screen in Savannah, Georgia, and nailed Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." To others, he clinched the championship with his simmering take on Usher's "U Got It Bad." And while the timeline may be up for debate, there is one thing that isn't: Pretty much everybody knew he'd win. After all, he was the judges' darling, rarely if ever receiving criticism for his performances (even if his detractors loved to point out the fact that he essentially did the same thing every week). But while Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson sang his praises, two-thirds of them won't be back for "Idol's" twelfth season, and Jackson's role on the show is still uncertain. So how would ...

Rocky , Raging Bull , Cinderella Man ... and now Mariah Carey 's "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" music video. The glitzy clip, which premiered on Tuesday, features Meek Mill as a scrappy boxer, Rick Ross (and DJ Khaled) as satisfied onlookers, and Carey as a ring girl, showcasing the round number as well as a perfect physique. With the entire video tinted in gold and black, the "Triumphant" clip, much like the song itself, features Carey in a supporting role -- the real star seems to be Meek Mill, the upstart Philly rapper who declares "They told me get 'em, I got 'em!" in between bouts with a faceless opponent. The final third of the clip belongs squarely to the pop diva, though, who lands some knockout high notes before gold confetti rains down upon her.

Mariah Carey has debuted her new music video online. The singer has teamed up with Rick Ross and Meek Mill for her new single 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)', which is available to download now. The accompanying music video sees Carey playing a boxing match scorecard girl, while other scenes see her performing the track in the ring. 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)' is the lead single to be lifted from Carey's 13th studio album, which is expected to be released in March 2013. "The album is going to be one of the great Mariah Carey albums, with a lot of stuff that you've come to love about her over the years," Carey's manager Randy Jackson said.

WENN Mariah Carey has had yet another say in who is to fill that empty seat on American Idol and she's reportedly now said she'd like it to be her rocker pal Lenny Kravitz. Hmm, thoughts? They may have duetted on a track together but it appears Mariah Carey isn't too happy with the reports that Nicki Minaj could be joining her on American Idol. With reports suggesting that Nicki is "definitely" going to be on the panel, TMZ has now reported that Mariah was less than happy with the news, so much so that she hung up her phone when she heard. And this definitely explains her sudden urge to get one of her friends on the show instead...in the form of rocker Lenny Kravitz. Coincidentally, after hearing the Minaj gossip, the 'Heartbreaker' singer took to Twitter to upload a sneaky snap of herself and Lenny, with the caption: "@AmericanIdol What's going on? need the info!! What about this combo? if we could ever get him to do it!" And the star seem...

In her new video tease for "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" Mariah Carey slinks around in a body-hugging gold dress and leaves the heavy-lifting to Meek Mill, who plays a boxer in the clip. In the short tease , Carey stands in front of a glittering wall as she sings about overcoming adversity. A chinchilla-clad Rick Ross sits front row as Meek enters the ring hoping to take down his competition, a fitting metaphor for the song. Carey tweeted late Monday that the full video will premiere on BET on Tuesday evening. The video was directed by her hubby Nick Cannon, and the single was co-produced by Bryan-Michael Cox and Carey's longtime collaborator, Jermaine Dupri. It is the first single being released off of Carey's highly anticipated upcoming album , which is due out next year. "Meek adds an excitement, a newness to the record that is pretty rare right now," Carey said in a conference call with reporters earlier this month. "Working with Ross and Meek on th...

Mariah Carey shared two separate pictures of herself with her son, Moroccan and her daughter, Monroe, who are fraternal twins, over the weekend. The newest American Idol judge first tweeted a picture of her son, Moroccan, sleeping next to her. She then took to Twitter again to share an adorable picture of herself with her daughter, Monroe, lounging in the pool. Not only did Carey show off her daughter, she showed her post-baby body in a black bikini and a white see-through cover up. She had an oversized hat on to cover her face as she lounged in the pool.

A production source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Nick is '99 percent' confirmed for the gig, but it's ultimately Mariah's decision. Nick Jonas recently tweeted that becoming an American Idol judge would be a "dream come true," and now HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively that Mariah Carey is the only thing standing in the way of his dream becoming a reality! "He hasn't met up with Mariah yet, but if she signs off on it, he will be the next judge," an Idol source reveals. "It's completely her decision. If they have chemistry, and she's for it, it will be official." Is this the part where I write an impassioned letter to Mariah, begging her to give Nick a thumbs up? Because I'll do it. There are so many reasons why Nick would make the perfectjudge he's talented, in touch with the young people, etc. but most importantly, it would round out the Jonas reality TV trifecta.
