Sine new broke that both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler would be leaving their posts on American Idol, dozens of celebrity names have been thrown into the mix regarding who should replace them.

Names like Carrie UnderwoodMiley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Will.i.Am and Fergie to name a few… or okay, more than a few.

However, according to reports, it looks like pop diva extraordinaire Mariah Carey will be beating them all to the punch.  Although her husband Nick Cannon made the very public proclamation earlier this week that the hit FOX reality competition couldn’t “afford” his wife, the 42-year-old songstress appears to be close to penning a deal worth more than $17 million to join AI’s judges panel.

Guess they scrounged through the couch cushions and came up with a little more loose change than they were expecting!
