Get excited, Lambily!
Fox has released the first footage of Mariah Carey in her upcoming guest star spot on Empire, and though it's brief (and we mean brief), it looks like creator Lee Daniels has given Mimi an appropriately divalicious role that will be worth the three season wait we were forced to endure before she made her way to the show.
We get just a glimpse of Mariah's character Kitty, a singer with ties to Empire Records, as she records in the studio with Jamal (Jussie Smollett)—we want that duet on our iPhones, like, yesterday—and tells Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), "You've always got a trick up your sleeve."
The teaser also gives us a look at some of the season's other big plot points, like the return of Shyne (Xzibit, now a series regular) and Lucious' (Terrence Howard) half-brother Tariq (Morocco Omari). But come on—we're all here for Mariah and you know it.
