Fox have reportedly released this official promotional shot of new American Idol judge Mariah Carey. The diva dons a sparkling orange dress while doing her usual transfixed pose (click image to view in full). American Idol was originally founded to find the next Mariah Carey, and now she’s a judge, 11 years later.

Knowing Mims, she will likely have her requests met for a diamond encrusted seat and a custom-made Coca Cola cup bedazzled with butterflies. The newly appointed judge reportedly snagged a massive $18m paycheck and is gearing up to release her new single ‘Triumphant’ next week. Mariah take-over is on its merry way.
