Nick Cannon wants Idol to pay $100m for Mariah

[Brandamn]

Maraih Carey's husband Nick Cannon has confirmed the pop superstar is in talks to become a judge on TV talent show American Idol - but he insists she won't come cheap.

The Hero singer has been linked to the chair vacated by Jennifer Lopez last week and her husband, who hosts rival talent show America's Got Talent, admits she is interested.

But he is keen to make sure Carey's potential move to TV is a worthwhile one - and he's not left holding their twin babies.

He says, "They want her, I know that... but I ain't letting her outta the house for less than $100 million.

"They've (producers) got to step up if they want that. That's Mariah Carey, she's got more number ones than anyone ever. She's the biggest singer/songwriter in the history of music; that's worth something.

"And who's gonna watch my kids if she goes on American Idol?"

I know!! I was gonna comment on what a misogynistic prick he is, but I think he made it clear enough.

What a jerk! "Whose gonna watch my kids.. I ain't letting her outta the house.."
Who does he think he is, he acts like he owns her. Id like Mariah as a judge but 100 million is ridiculous for anyone to judge a show.

Hopefully Nick was joking.

[Madrigal]

Wow. What an asshole.

[BoyV]

I can't stand both of them. Their ego seems too full of it. Next!

[Ian]

I think it's obvious he was joking.

[Toefje]

Yeah he has a sarcastic way of humor. Its not serious guys

Actually mariah is really self aware and makes fun of herself all the time.

[RadioMix]

MC must forbid him to talk about numbers and money in the media, makes HER look cheap.
When have Victoria and David talked about money in such way? Never, they have class.

Mariah never claimed to have class. She really doesnt take it all so serious as you all think. Vicky and David do though.

I'm glad for all the inside information we have!

She IS a diva. Making fun of yourself even though you are aware you have an astronomically sized ego, doesn't exactly justify being arrogant and having that ego.

I was thinking the same thing. DenDen must be honoured to have members with such access to the world's biggest celebrities' inner thoughts and feelings.

[Lizzy]

P.I.M.P.

[FiaSpice]

that's ridiculous.

Remember the infamous letter from Cuntoria Adams' lawyers? Maybe other members are celebrities undercover too!!!

Andres and Brandamn, you two make this place so worthwhile.
If it's a joke, he needs to attend comedy camp. Although I did laugh at the part about her being the biggest and best singer/songwriter in the history of all mankind. If it's not a joke, then that is one unfortunate male specimen.

[BootyliciousJosh]

She's signed on for $17 million.

[Charmingspice5]

She's signed on for $17 million.

Awesome, I'm glad she signed on for it. I think she'll be a good judge

[Andres]

I read her contract was for 18 millions, not 17.
get that money mimi!! I have mixed feelings, I don't like American Idol's format, but I will have to watch it since she's in it... and few people throw shade like she does

[dre]

Ah that's a much more reasonable amount. I think lol. She certainly is overqualified for the job and I imagine she'll be quite a good judge. I never cease to be surprised that American Idol is still a thing though. It's like Survivor, it never ends.
