Mariah Carey is charting course for a new "Empire" with a guest appearance on the popular Fox television series. On Wednesday, "Empire" creator Lee Daniels said the Grammy winner would appear on his show. He made the announcement while introducing Carey at a ceremony where she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Oscar-nominated director didn't elaborate on what role Carey would play, or how she might interact with the show's diva, Cookie Lyon. Mariah Carey has appeared in the films "Lee Daniels' The Butler" and "Precious," which earned Daniels two Academy Award nominations. Carey has won five Grammy Awards since releasing her debut album in 1990.
