Rumors are running rampant that diva Mariah Carey is being tapped to star in a big screen comedy takeoff on such reality shows as American Idol and X-Factor. She would be cast as the mother of 21-year-old Vanessa Hudgens.
The resemblance between the two women is quite convincing and Mimi will turn 40-years-old in March — so it really isn’t a stretch that the two would be able to pull off the premise.
Nothing is cast in stone at this point. There is some speculation that Carey may not take the bait because of her 2001 box office flop “Glitter” – see poster below. She won an infamous Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress – OUCH!
Carey is currently riding the wave of success and has received positive reviews by critics following her role as a social worker in the 2009 film “Precious”. As for Vanessa, she is still living down those 32 naughty photos from 2007.
