| Mariah records 100 songs for new album!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TITLE: Mariah records 100 new songs! PUBLICATION: Australian Mariah Carey Fanclub @ MariahDownunder.com DATE: August 30th, 2002 DANIEL Bedingfield has revealed to a MariahDownunder.com source that Mariah has recorded nearly 100 songs from which she will compile her new album! Regarding Bedingfield's partnership with Mariah, the source revealed, "It sounds like the project has lost a little steam. He said she's probably only doing one [song with him] - 'A Thousand lifetimes'." Last week he told Melbourne 'HiT' magazine, "I'm writing three songs for Mariah at the moment. "It's very flattering to be asked to write someone a song. The whole thing is flattering." Described as a "love song ballad", Bedingfield isn't quite sure whether or not it will be a duet, although he had written it that way. Bedingfield stated that they are still (!) yet to meet, and haven't even spoken. Great news though was that Mariah has "recorded around 100 songs for the album, which is still meant to be out at Christmas." NOTE FOR WEBMASTERS: My source is one of Australia's leading music/entertainment journalists, so I can guarantee he spoke face to face with Bedingfield yesterday, and this is what he found out. Thanks! Neil Source: Neil from MariahDownunder.com by e-mail. Posted on August the 30th. |

| Jasmine's gossip slot
This week on Jasmine's gossip slot she didn't really have any Mc news BUT she introduced us to her 2 friends from NY who were both lawyers- and one of them was MC's nephew Shawn!!! He's qualified as a lawyer now and she said he plans to be a senator someday!!! He told us he's good friends with Jay-Z but it was obvious he didn't like Christina Aguilera or J-Lo!!! He's been in London all week and Jasmine took him to a party hosted by former MC remixers Stargate. The funniest bit was when they were talking about P Diddy who might be moving to either Sony or Electra- she asked Shawn who he's choose and he said 'Electra but then I have personal reasons'(for not choosing Sony). Later Universal records were mentioned and he said they were a greaty company!!! Source: Victoria at Rainbow Princess. Posted on August the 26th. |
| Mariah Protects Her New Sound
Popstar MARIAH CAREY has stepped up security as she records her musical comeback on the Italian island of Capri.The curvy songbird, whose last album GLITTER was a commercial and critical flop, has invited music executives to come and listen to her new material, which she is recording under her own imprint for the DEF JAM MUSIC GROUP. But security on the island is tight and no one is allowed to bring any recording equipment or take any copies of her music away. Carey says she is determined that no one else will hear any of the songs until the CD is released in December (02). Source: Lycos Entertainment - Stephy from Mariah's web.

Carefree Carey back in the swim
  
WITH her suicide bid and record label sacking behind her, these are the first pictures of the new MARIAH CAREY. The singer is back in shape after a turbulent year and is recording an album on the Mediterranean island of Capri. The only man who will not be happy to see the snaps is Mariah’s new record label boss LYOR COHEN, who last week asked the sexy star to stop flashing so much flesh. Island/Def Jam president Lyor told her: “If you have a magnificent voice and you write such compelling songs, why are you dressing like that?” Mariah has penned most of the numbers on the new album, due out in December, which she has yet to name. She signed a £14million record deal with Island/Def Jam in May – four months after EMI dropped her with a £38million payoff after her album Glitter bombed. Picture 1: Bright star ... Mariah seems to have got over her gloom Picture 2: Water therapy ... Mariah in Capri Picture 3: What a view ... Mariah looking relaxed Source: Dominic Mohan for The Sun.

| Exciting news
I'm in shock!!! I just talked to a friend of mine who does work for one of Germanys biggest tv channels ("ZDF")... and he was part of a press conference for the german tv-show "Wetten-dass?"... it's the show where all mega stars present their new songs AND THEY TALKED ABOUT MARIAH!!!!!!! She is on the list and in talks to be part of a show later this year but they havn't decided yet. And then he said to me "I also got the chance to listen to her new single..." And I was like WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!!!!!???? He didn't know that I was that a big fan and he was surprised that I nearly flipped!!! So here is what he said... it isn't much. He said it's a ballad. So I guess it's true that Through The Rain is the first single. I asked him about the title and he said he couldn't remember I then told him about the title TTR and he said something like "That was it I think..." I asked him 100 times to describe the song and to tell me EVERYTING but he couldn't say much BUT he said it's a very melodramatic song. I asked him about her voice and he just told me "...as always" I was like "TELL ME HOW HER VOICE SOUNDED!!!???" He then told me that he thinks to remember that it started very quiet and builded up very loud... so it seems to be a typical MC-ballad. He also said that her voice wasn't as big as Without You wich is the only MC-song he knows. He also said that people at the conference didn't like the idea of having this song in the show that much because it's a sad song. AND they said that it was very difficult to work with her the last time she was in this show (she saing TGIFY then)... whatever that means.... That's all. Source: Marten2 at Fomm. A really big thanks to him for sharing this great news.

| Mariah Carey Turns Down Insulting ER Cameo
WENN reports Mariah Carey angrily rejected an offer to appear on the hit medical drama ER after being offered a role of a singer suffering a break-down is too similar to her own real life mental problems. "Mariah needs to redeem herself because Glitter flopped," said a source. "She is a huge fan of ER, which is still the top rated show in the US, so she was obviously delighted when they asked her to take part in an episode or two. But she couldn't believe how insensitive they were when they asked her to play a loony-tune pop star. Someone was being very mischievous, or they have very short memories." Source: Popdirt.com.

Bedingfield pens song for Mariah
Daniel Bedingfield has a completed a song which he plans to sing with pop diva Mariah Carey. The singer exclusively revealed to worldpop that the new track will be a love song called A Thousand Life Times. 'I haven’t met up with Mariah to record the song yet but I have finished it so I will be singing it with her at some period in the future,' said Bedingfield. 'I am looking forward to meeting her though and I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.' Mariah, who is now on the same record label as Bedingfield in the US, has previously collaborated with Irish boy band Westlife. Bedingfield, who shot straight to the top of the charts with his debut single Gotta Get Thru This, is also planning on cracking America when he starts a world tour next February. 'It is supposed to be tough over there but Dido did it. I am just going to keep riding the wave over there at the moment and see how I do.' 'I am going to go over there for two weeks in the next couple of days to do a few radio shows to promote the album. But I plan to do a lot more dates over there next year to try break it. Making it in America is central to making it in England as well.' Bedingfield’s current single James Dean (I Wanna Know) entered the UK charts at No 4. Last week, Daniel told worldpop about his plans to work with Pop Idol contestant Darius Danesh. Source: worldpop. (All rights reserved) Posted on August the 19th. |
| Mariah's album preview a hit under tight security
If you were on the Isle of Capri the other day and saw a bunch of crazy Americans splashing in the Blue Grotto, I'll tell you who they were. It was Mariah Carey and friends including Island Def Jam Records President Lyor Cohen, all celebrating after hearing tracks from Carey's new album. She's been recording in Capri for weeks, and the sessions are said to be a great success. Some song titles have already hit the Web, including one called "Through the Rain," which may be the title track. I'm told that after playing the songs for European accounts, everyone who was invited to the session -- including Carey -- took a swim in the Mediterranean. Meanwhile it may be hard to get too much info on song titles and credits until right before the December release date. "We don't want what happened last time," a source said, referring to the theft of a Carey song by Jennifer Lopez during production of the Glitter album.

| Flag display tours south suburbs
Signed banners at the center of Sept. 11 memorial. Times Staff Report RICHTON PARK --- The Ground Zero Flag memorial debuted Monday in Richton Park, the first stop in its nine community, south suburban tour, to bring the words and photos of those immediately touched by the Sept. 11 attacks a bit closer to home. "It's pretty moving," Richton Park Village Trustee Gary Marquardt said as he perused an 8-foot tall poster board display of Sept. 11 images. "When you look at these pictures ... it's kind of hard to understand all of it." The touring memorial also features flags signed by former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as well as city firefighters and police officers who heroically responded after the two commercial airliners disintegrated the twin towers. Visitors can also view a videotape of photos as they hear fitting music such as Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" and Mariah Carey's "Hero." The videotape depicts significant moments of the tragedy to bring the viewer to the heart of the sorrow and horror evoked on Sept. 11, including victims jumping from the smoke-engulfed windows of the World Trade Center. "It is very emotional, it's hard to look at the pictures of the kids," Richton Park resident Beth Marow said Monday as she left the memorial with her finance Jim Hennessy. "We thought it would be something to come and see," Hennessy said. "It's so surreal."Visitors at all of the tour's stops will have the opportunity to sign a village flag that will be sent to New York City to hang in one of it's 230 fire stations. Richton Park's flag was already crowded with "God bless" and "We will never forget" messages on Monday afternoon. "It's my understanding they are going to collect these flags from all across the country," Marquardt said. The Ground Zero Flag memorial will be at each of the municipality's village halls for one week, opening at one nearly every Monday until mid-October. The current schedule is: Worth Monday-Aug. 23, Oak Forest Aug. 26-30, Orland Park Sept. 9-13, Homewood Sept. 16-20, Matteson Sept. 23-27, Posen Sept. 30-Oct. 4, Chicago Heights Oct. 7-11, Riverdale Oct. 14-18. The tour is sponsored by the Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce, state Sen. Peter Roskam, R-20, Manny Hoffman Insurance Agency, First National Bank and Travel Brokers/ Carlson Wagonlit Travel.

| Mariah's New Record Label Takes Wing
By Roger Friedman Drum roll, please. Mariah Carey -- still mourning the recent death of her father -- has chosen a name for her record label. And it is MonarC, as in the monarch butterfly. The M and C are capitalized for Mariah's initials. A San Francisco jazz label called Monarch Records wasn't interested in relinquishing its name, even though Mariah asked. Hence, the unusual spelling. After some brainstorming Carey and her management came up with this idea, rather than just winging it. MonarC will be distributed by Island/Def Jam Records, which is part of the Universal Music Group. As for Carey's recordings, her first single will be out during the last week of September, which will make the Grammy deadline of Oct. 1. The single was recorded, like the rest of the new album, on the island of Capri off the coast of Italy. What won't happen with this release is the same debacle that afflicted Glitter, Mariah's last project. Glitter -- the worst movie of 2001 -- was undermined by many things including possible theft of some of its music by Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule, courtesy of Sony Music. But all that is behind Mariah now, I am told. And certainly it's incumbent upon Doug Morris and Lyor Cohen of Universal to have a big, big hit with Carey right away. Ironically, Mariah's single will debut just a week or so after Whitney Houston's new album is released on Arista. This column reported on July 10 that Houston's new single, "Whatchulookinat," had been leaked to radio stations. It was catchy -- no doubt about it. But according to Radio & Records, which monitors airplay, almost no one is playing it. (Give it a spin, guys! The voice is better than ever.) This is kind of interesting since I heard recently that one of the four major networks (Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS) inquired on Houston's behalf about a special featuring the two divas. I'm told however that Carey's advisors declined the opportunity. Source: Roger Friedman for FOXNews.com. (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: 4 words and 4 digits are wrong, search them.

| Moral contract - United Fans Against Piracy
I would like to propose to all the sites to be united to avoid the copy of Mariah's new single and album. I know that everyone likes to have exclusive news, but I think that the fact of giving in download commercial songs is not an exclusiveness. It seems to me that we owe that to Mariah. She worked so much to create this new album that we can't demolish all and steal her work. I also know that the majority of the fans will buy the album, but others fans or non-fans quite simply will pirate it. If we all could be united against the hacking of Mariah's new album that would prove that we are true "lambs" and it is the most beautiful gift we could make to Mariah! Spread the word. Please give me your opinion and let me know if you adhere to this moral contract. Thank you for Mariah.

Mariah on the move
Mariah Carey's first album for her new label, Island Records, has been put on the fast track, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Titled Mariah, fans can expect to see the CD on shelves in early December. The first single is expected to be released for radio play during the second week of September.

| UMG brass hitting fast-track key for Carey's
Island Records debut
Mariah Carey's debut album for Island Records is being fast-tracked, sources said. The first single will go to radio the second week of September, and the new album is slated to hit stores Dec. 10, in time for the holidays. Insiders said Carey has written 99% of the songs and has been in the studio with such producers as Irv Gotti, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Carey inked a $20 million recording contract with Island Def Jam Music Group in May, less than six months after Virgin Records dropped her. Carey's still-untitled new album is being positioned as her big comeback after the meager sales of her soundtrack album "Glitter," which was released last year. UMG's top honchos -- chairman and CEO Doug Morris, IDJMG president and CEO Lyor Cohen, Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine and Universal Music International chairman Jorgen Larsen -- are devoting time to the project, sources said.

| Carey delaying comeback
By Dennis Daily Many in the world of popular music had thought that Mariah Carey would have put out a new CD by this time. Nope. For some reason the singer, whose career has been in low gear in recent months, will now wait until nearly the end of this year to present her latest effort to her fans. According to the New York Post, Carey's latest compilation, to be called "Mariah," is due to hit store shelves in mid-December. It's being produced by a music man with quite a reputation, Irv Gotti, considered by many to be a genius when it comes to putting together music presentations. Some of his past efforts include helping Ja Jule and Ashanti rise to national prominence. The new Carey CD will be released on Island Def Jam Records. By the way, Carey's official Web site -- mariahcarey.com on the Internet -- contains the latest information on her career and even has a sound clip from the singer, saying "Hi" to her fans.

Fan's meeting in Brazil
For the third time Mariah Vision fan club promoted a fan meeting in Brazil. The purpose of the event was to celebrate the release of Glitter DVD in Brazil and to bring all the fans together. It took place in cities like São Paulo and Rio De Janeiro. We had the pleasure to have Isabel Gomes in São Paulo who introduced herself and took pictures with her newest fans. The Glitter movie when launched in Brazil was not that successful and people could watch it in few cinemas, but now due to this occurrence Glitter turned to be the second most rented movie in all Brazilian video clubs. It proves that all Brazilian fans support our diva, who surprised all the company that were not confident about this huge succsess. During the event, Raphael Mello, responsible for the Mariah Vision web site and fun club played with the fans on games like: "Music in reverse", where the fan had to find out which song was being played listening to it on back to front, karaokes, and interviews about Mariah . The event also had an exclusive video tape of the Glitter premiere in Los Angeles. Pictures by Kilvia da Costa Source: Raphael from Mariah Vision by e-mail. Posted on August the 6th. |

"[Hollywood is] a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul." "Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that...' But you do want to stay intact--intact and on two feet." "It stirs up envy, fame does. People...feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you--and it won't hurt your feelings--like it's happening to your clothing." "Fame is fickle and I know it. It has its compensations, but it also has its drawbacks and I've experienced them both." "With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself--for survival and living day to day with what comes up."

Isabel Gomes on Brazilian tv show
All Mariah Carey fans who got to know Isabel Gomes, a beautiful and sweet 14 year old actress, had the chance to watch Isabel Gomes on a very popular Brazilian Tv Show called Raul Gil. Isabel promoted her participation on the movie Glitter where she starred Mariah as a child. We, from Mariah Vision, regard this event an achievment because Glitter the movie now has no chance to be forgotten in our country. Everyone here in Brazil know about the movie and Isabel´s appearance. For those who didn´t give a chance to Gliter now have a great opportunity to try. Source: Raphael from Mariah Vision by e-mail.

| Carey comeback
Naysayers predicted that Mariah Carey wouldn't come out with another album until at least next spring, but the sultry songbird has proved them wrong. Sources say Carey is making her comeback debut with Island Def Jam records on Dec. 10. "They will release a single in the second week of September," we hear. The album, titled "Mariah," is produced by Irv Gotti - the genius behind Ja Rule and Ashanti. Source: PageSix.com. (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: Don't forget that nothing is confirmed yet.

| Being multiracial
Here's an extract of an article from The Olympian: Though multiracial people still represent a small portion of the population locally, multiracial celebrities have already captured hearts nationally. Household names like Shakira (Colombian and Lebanese), Mariah Carey (African-American, Venezuelan, and Irish), Keanu Reeves (Chinese, Hawaiian and Caucasian), and, of course, multiracial poster boy Tiger Woods (Thai, Chinese, African-American, Caucasian and Native American) attest to this phenomenon. Seventeen-year-old Liz Scott, a senior at Capital High School, said being biracial is not a big issue for her. "I'm just who I am," Scott said. "I'm not black, I'm not white, I'm just mixed." Yet even as Scott represents a growing number of teens who embrace life between races, some may also face a period of confusion or frustration being "both" in a society that still tries to force people to pick one race -- on everything from SAT test forms to job applications. Matt Kelley, the 23-year-old founder and president of The MAVIN Foundation, a nonprofit organization addressing multiracial issues. "When you're multiracial," Kelley said, "only checking one race means denying one of your parents." But for Gina Davis, 17, of Olympia it is often a lack of questions that can be troubling. "People come up to me and start speaking Spanish, assuming I'm Latina," said Davis, who is African-American, Italian and Cherokee. "Being mixed isn't really important to me, but it's the people around me who make it a big deal." Kelley echoes Davis' comments. "There's nothing inherently wrong or weird about being multiracial," Kelley said. "It's society's ignorance that isolates mixed-race youth." Source: The Olympian.

| Sony Music Starts Cutting Jobs
By Roger Friedman The word from Sony Music today is that more than 100 jobs are being cut. I told you recently that veteran producer John Kalodner (Aerosmith, Journey) is likely to be one of those affected. Big mistake in my opinion. Kalodner at least produces hits. The new Springsteen album notwithstanding, Sony -- which is really Columbia and Epic -- is not doing so well on the charts now. They have one album in the top 20, which is No. 19, Aerosmith's Greatest Hits. Recent releases by Celine Dion, Oasis, and Marc Anthony have been huge disappointments. We won't even discuss Jackson's Invincible...The company has spent the whole summer living off Shakira, the Andrea True of 2002. It's not like Sony is alone in cutting jobs or taking it on the chin in the charts. Certainly the other labels, with the exception of the Universal labels, Arista, and J, are having similar problems. Almost nothing is selling well. CD prices are ridiculously high, and the quality of most of the releases is abysmal. But Sony gets the blame when things go wrong because in good times they are arrogant and flashy. They need to develop some new interesting acts now, and they'd better hurry up. Their former big star, Mariah Carey, I hear is busy completing her new release for Island/Def Jam. And it's said to be quite good. Credit: Roger Friedman for FOXNews.com.

Fridge story
 
Our kitchen has a new look... but the fridge was still soooooo old. So, I wanted to give him a relaxing massage and then a personalized make up. I know it sounds crazy, but after all, this old guy worth it with all the hard work he made all these years. I grew up with him and he's a Mariah fan since 1993 too. But, my dad said "Are you insane? We gonna buy a new one!" What? OMG, no! Please let me try, you may not throw him to the dumping ground. And if we buy a new one, how will we know if he's a Mariah fan? So, I gave a new look to my old buddy and as a true Mariah fan he wrote a special message for my dad. And now my dad wants to keep him too, awwwwww, how cute.
