After a day of rumors, sources at E! confirmed that the channel has given the green light to Mariah Carey’s “Mariah’s World.”

The docuseries – consisting of eight one-hour episodes -- will follow Carey’s life as she prepares for her wedding to businessman James Packer and for her upcoming “Sweet Sweet Fantasy” world tour.

Jeff Olde, E!’s executive vice president of programming and development, said in a statement,  “The series will present a unique, vulnerable and surprisingly humorous side to Mariah that her fans have never before seen while showcasing her unparalleled celebrity lifestyle filled with true glamour, maximum luxury and ultimate stardom.”

What do you think? Will it be enough of a trainwreck that it’s worth tuning in to watch?
