Mariah Joins “Empire” Cast
I stopped watching the show in Season 2 but it remains popular and now this: After years of rumors, Mariah Carey is set to guest-star on “Empire.” Good friend (and “Precious” director) Lee Daniels has been teasing a Carey cameo since the first season and decided enough was enough. “I said, ‘It’s time to put Mariah on the show because I am going to be a liar to the world and to her,’†says the show’s co-creator and EP with a laugh. Carey will portray Kitty, a singer brought in by Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) to duet with Jamal (Jussie Smollett).
