Mariah Carey Joins 'American Idol'

She might have the star power to keep it going for awhile.

At the Los Angeles Times, "It's official: Mariah Carey will join 'American Idol'." (And see WeSmirch.)

And earlier at the Times, "With Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez out, the 'Idol' fun begins," and "Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler quit 'Idol'; Randy Jackson next?"
