Next season “American Idol” might end up glittering after all.

According to an inside source, Mariah Carey still is negotiating to sign as one of the show’s judges.

According to the source, Mariah wants this. She has seen what hubby Nick Cannon has gotten from “America’s Got Talent” and thinks this would be good for her career.

On Thursday, a Carey rep didn’t deny or confirm. The response was, there’s nothing to report.

A new fragrance line has been launched by Mariah Carey.

The line of fragrances Lollipop Bling, a collaboration between Topps Candy (manufacturer of Ring Pops), Elizabeth Arden (cosmetic company) and Carey, features three different candy scents. All three of the fragrances are named from hit songs of Carey’s. “Ribbon” got its inspiration from the Blue Raspberry flavored Ring Pop in combination with a floral bouquet. “Mine Again” is a mixture of Magnolia, raspberry and chocolate. “Honey” is honey and pineapple scented.

As speculation regarding the replacement for Simon Cowell on “American Idol” continues to build, there is also excitement regarding whom Cowell may select to be part of the judges panel for his new “The X-Factor” American version. The latest name to be dropped, after Paula Abdul, to be a possible judge is Mariah Carey.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have once again shown that they belong together. They got married — again. The couple celebrated their second anniversary by renewing their vows from their home in Beverly Hills on Friday night. The elaborate ceremony included the 40 year old Carey wearing a white lacy dress and veil. Cannon was dressed in a white suit. The two exchanged rings with a string quartet playing.

Mariah Carey may very well be the pop diva. However, most of the sell-out crowd in the Borgata Hotel treated Carey on Saturday night like a deity. Taking videos and pictures constantly, holding signs up to show their devotion, and screaming boisterously to show their appreciation, the fans of Carey are incredibly loyal. They certainly do have lots of good reasons for their loyalty. Carey is for pop like Johnny Cash is for country, like Metallica is for metal, like Led Zepplin is for rock.

Can you imagine Mariah Carey being the mother of Vanessa Hudgens? Well why not? After all Mariah is 40 years old and Vanessa is 21 years old. However, that’s not really the point.

With Christmas just days away, PPL and PRS for Music, organizations that are responsible for collecting royalties for performers and music creators, have revealed the top Christmas songs that have been played the most during the last ten years. The chart is topped by Mariah Carey’s classic version of “All I Want For Christmas” that was released in 1994. The song was written by Walter Afanasieff and Mariah Carey. In the second spot is “Fairytale of New York” by the Pogues from 1987. The song was written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan and features the deceased Kristy MacColl.

Mariah Carey, the R&B/pop vocalist, will be ringing the New Year in with the first full concert tour for her in more than three years. Her Angels Advocate Tour of 20 dates will launch in Atlantic City, NJ at the Borgata Event Center on January 2 and will continue through until February 27 in Las Vegas, NV at Pearl Concert Theater.

In the good old days, all musicians needed was a tune that was radio ready and a music video along with the willingness to go out on the road in order for your album to make sales. In the world today you need TV show placement, a Timbaland album spot, and some form of integrated marketing. It’s a mystery why more artists don’t develop iPhone apps. They aren’t very expensive to produce and have great potential in terms of impact and interactivity.

On Mariah Carey’s about to be released and recently leaked 12th studio album, Carey along with her latest producers Tricky Stewart and “Terius “The Dream” Nash, are attempting to get to something by way of distilling it. What they are in search for is Essence of Mimi, a rich liquor in Carey’s luscious famous voice. However, instead of showcasing the dazzling musical Olympian with a run of vocals or her whistle register that is almost unmatchable, which are the most obvious choices in terms of Carey’s talent, instead Carey and her team focused in on a specific tone that has earned Mariah yet another nickname called Honey.
