It’s happening. We knew Mariah Carey was friends with Lee Daniels. And we knew that the show’s actors were praying she’d appear as a guest star.

And Mariah just added fuel to the fire in a new interview with the LA Times, teasing a potentialEmpire appearance:

What about outside the music, are you doing any more acting?

I am. There’s some other things on my horizon. Lee Daniels has promised me several roles soon and [sings] “I will hunt him down” if he doesn’t.

Maybe we’ll see you on “Empire”?

I wanted to give them a song. I thought one of these songs could be good really good for Cookie or Luscious. I have a song that I wrote with Big Jim [Wright] and Jermaine [Dupri] and I think it could be really right for the show. But Lee wants me to do a character, that’s what he says. But we’ll see what he does with next season.

Mariah is busy with her new Las Vegas residency through July (well, as long as she doesn’t keep getting sick), but after that, who knows?

Time to start imagining our dream Mariah Empire character — and her incredible costumes. Tell us this fierce studded cast isn’t straight from the Empire wardrobe department.
