It’s official. Mariah Carey hit Twitter to confirm that she has successfully sealed a deal that guarantees her a spot on the judging panel for season twelve of ‘American Idol.’

The diva tweeted, “It’s gonna be so much fun working on @AmericanIdol. As a singer-songwriter, I’m excited to help find and nurture new talent. LYM! — MC.”

For those who aren’t up on diva lingo … LYM is thought to be code for ‘Love Ya Much.’

Show host Ryan Seacrest promptly gave her a shout-out, “Welcome to the fam @MariahCarey!! When you and @nickcannon need a date night, I’m happy to strap on the double baby bjorn.”

For those keeping score, that’s one down … with at least one more announcement forthcoming, possibly two. Stay tuned…
