After months of rumors about the big names that Simon Cowell has been pursuing to become judges on the new Fox music competition series "The X Factor," Mariah Carey has apparently agreed to join the show, reports The Huffington Post.

Appearing with radio host Jackie Brown, Cowell said, "I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows. I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with. She’ll be involved in some form. I literally adore her. I love her to bits."
