(Photo: Kristina Bumphrey/StarPix/AP Photo) M ariah Carey signing on to judge the upcoming, twelfth season of American Idol completes an epic trifecta of stunt casting: She joins Britney Spears, set to debut on this fall’s second season of The X Factor, and Christina Aguilera, who will be serving her third year as a judge on The Voice. Her 2010 holiday album aside, Carey hasn’t released a new record since the lackluster Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, but pop-cultural ­relevance isn’t really a criterion for these jobs. Instead, Carey’s primary qualification is that she is prone to public embarrassments (that wacky TRL incident, everything about the Glitter era) in the same way that Aguilera (an arrest for public intoxication, Burlesque ) and Spears (the year 2007) are. The lavish compensation all three ­women are receivingâ€"a reported $10 millionâ€"plus for Aguilera, $15 million for Spears, and $18 million for Careyâ€"amounts to hazard pay. Th...

By Chuck Barney Journal Register News Service BEVERLY HILLS -- It's reality TV's version of an arms race. With each hiring of a new judge, the star power gets mightier, the price tags higher. Pop diva Mariah Carey became the latest big name to bolster the trend when she agreed earlier this week to become a judge on Fox's "American Idol" in a deal reportedly worth $18 million. "We've got the biggest recording artist any of these shows has ever had," Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment chief, boasted to journalists gathered here for the TV critics summer press tour.
