All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is you ... still"Late Night's" Jimmy Fallon gives the best gifts. The comedian and TV host is clearly aware of the nation's weakness for Mariah Carey's holiday classic, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," and thus collaborated with the songstress and The Roots on a special rendition for his show on Tuesday. Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj: We're getting along 'wonderfully'The speculation that Mariah Carey was not pleased with Fox's decision to bring Nicki Minaj on as another new judge began weeks before the network actually confirmed it, so we're not surprised that there are new rumors suggesting that the two are in the midst of a feud. But according to Carey, a real feud would take much longer to develop than the time she's had with Minaj. Mariah Carey talks her new single, 'Triumphant'As if Mariah Carey's success wasn't enough to inspire "American Idol" contenders-to-be, the new "Idol" judge's latest single should offer plenty of motivation. On Thursday, Carey's song "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" hit the radio, and, as expected, its lyrics encourage listeners to "reach for the stars." Brad Paisley being eyed for 'Idol' gig?There's still one more seat open at "American Idol's" judges' table, and Deadline reports that Fox is seriously considering adding country star Brad Paisley to the mix. Considering that some of "Idol’s" most successful acts - including Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery and Kellie Pickler - are country stars, Deadline speculates that Paisley could be a good move, as the genre clearly has appeal with "Idol's" audience. How much is Mariah's rumored 'Idol' payday?The speculation's underway on just how much Mariah Carey's making as a new "American Idol" judge, and reports suggest that she might've hit the jackpot. People magazine reports that the superstar singer, who announced Monday that she'll sit at the judges' table for "Idol's" next season, has reportedly netted an estimated $18 million for the gig. |
