Mariah Carey shared some wise words (and signature shade) for tour mate Lionel Richie, who is reportedly in talks to judge the rebooted “American Idol.”
“I would say, ‘don’t do it,'” Carey, 47, told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday.
The singer, who was a member of the judging panel with nemesis Nicki Minaj for season 12 in 2013, quickly backtracked … but only somewhat.
“No, I’m only kidding,” she said. “If he wants to do it, that’ll be great. I think he would be really good at it. I think he should just stick with his commercials for Tetley's Tea and leave it to nasty bitches like that dirty Rican and that Australian goober."
