Simon Cowell may finally get his wish to have Mariah Carey join the upcoming X Factor 2011 season. While he wasn’t able to have her come on as a judge Simon is now looking to have her on as a mentor during the “judge’s home” phase of the 2011 schedule.

The X Factor judges will have one superstar work in each panelist’s respective home to whip their contestants into shape for the show. And Simon Cowell is in final negotiations to have Mariah Carey as his personal pick to mentor his contestants from his house. “He’s still finalizing her deal,” an insider tells me.

The X Factor is pulling out all the stops to draw in other superstars as mentors. Contacts are being made now with “the Beyoncés, the Rihannas, all of them.” the insider tells me.

Hmm, if this goes well I wonder if there’s a chance Mariah would join next season to replace Nicole considering her she was a last minute replacement herself.
