Does Janet Jackson Get Jealous When J.D. Works On Mariah Carey's CD?
Janet Jackson is starting to do press to promote her forthcoming CD, Discipline on Island Def Jam.
In an interview with Hong Kong's Prestige magazine, the writer asked her what it's like to be J.D.'s girl and work with him professionally.
Check out excerpts from the interview:

"Except this time around I see Usher and Mariah [Carey] coming out of the studio and I say, “Okay, wait, aren’t you supposed to be working on my stuff? We’re supposed to be doing our stuff together.” And he goes, “Well yeah,” and I’m like, “Why are they here, don’t I come before them when it’s time for the album to be released?” But it’s all good."

Mariah pup is off to phwoar
Mariah Carey must have thought it would be a real battle for her pooch out on the ski slopes — so she dressed the tiny pet in COMBAT gear. 
The busty singer’s mutt wore a khaki fur-lined hooded jacket, woolly jumper and hat. 
Mariah, 37, wasn’t quite so wrapped up as she kept her own matching jacket unzipped to show off her impressive slopes at posh Aspen, Colorado. 
Passing admirers could only agree — the All I Want For Christmas Is You singer sure knows a thing or two about cute puppies.

CD buzz is great for start of '08 
Conventional wisdom casts the early months of every year as a musical dead zone.
What a scandalous canard. 
Some of the most interesting - if admittedly quirky - artists release CDs in the first few months, the better to avoid getting lost in the superstar pile-on that competes for your ever-dwindling post-Christmas dollar. 
Even some megastars try to avoid the dreaded all-for-the-fall fate, and push back their products to the easier new year. There's another lure, too: With the slack competition, it's simpler to score a No. 1 at this time. 
The list of tardy superstars this year includes no less powerful a presence than Mariah Carey, whose pantingly anticipated followup to the 5 million-selling "Adventures of Mimi" should arrive in the first few months.

Jasmine's column, a lil' Aspen info
I completly forgot to check it Monday, as I didn't think Jas would update from Aspen)
Merry Christmas readers!

It's the most exciting week of the year so far. I love Christmas - I'm a big kid! I took Trevor Nelson to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park to record THE LICK, joined hundreds of you at the South Bank to honour the UK grime soap Dubplate Drama and then went to Usher's fragrance launch party to watch the R'n'B prince add yet another level to his world domination. Usher's tagline was: "It's not about being famous - it's what you're famous for." I loved that! 

Last week, I watched the movie Elf with some people. I'd like to tell you they were kids. But no - we were all adults and we screamed and clapped all the way through it. (It's also one of Mariah's favourite movies - she got me into it!) 

As you read this, I'm in Aspen - probably doing one of the following: eating my body mass in weight worth of pancakes, waffles, sweet potato or turkey; terrorising people and embarrassing Mariah on the slopes with my skiing, whilst she does stuntwoman-like snowboarding, which has to be seen to be believed; encouraging Mariah to get up to no good by messing with the paparazzi; playing with lots of kids and Santa; drinking champagne at Joan Boyce's diamond store; or helping everyone in the house wrap their 20 million gifts coz they haven't managed it yet. (I always wrap a week ahead, and if you're reading this on Christmas Eve between midnight and 6 a.m., I can guarantee that's what myself and MC are doing right now!) 

But before I jumped on MC's private jet...

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday break. I know Christmas is different for us all depending on what we are experiencing in our lives. But whatever your vibe is like this week, I wish you all the best. Whatever Santa fills your stocking with - I hope it's all good. (Pity it can't be Morris Chestnut filling my stocking.) See you in 2008!

New Year's revelers have plenty of choices 
The power couple of Jay-Z and Beyoncé appear to have the most prosperous start on 2008. They dropped by in September to announce the New Year's Eve opening of Jay-Z's $20 million 40/40 Club at the Palazzo (The Venetian's new sister property that otherwise gets a low-key soft opening).

Since they already would be here, why not do some shows? Beyoncé announced a Sunday encore of the concert she brought to the Strip in late August. Jay-Z waited until Dec. 15 to put tickets on sale for a Saturday show at the Palms.

The two also are expected to perform together during the two-night kickoff of the sports-themed 40/40 Club on Sunday and the club's official New Year's bash on Monday.

Competition on the club scene results in a crush of celebrity-hosted events. They make it confusing to sort out who's in town for a traditional show and who isn't.

Pop queens Mariah Carey and Avril Lavigne both get top billing, but for club promotions, not concerts. (Carey at Tao, Lavigne at Planet Hollywood's new Privé.)

3 Doors Down? Concert at the Hard Rock Hotel. Backstreet Boys? Club promotion at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Pamela Anderson? Used to do a show here, but it wasn't as riveting as her offstage life, which may get more lurid still, depending on which ex- or current husbands surround her at Pure on New Year's Eve. 

Among those who plan to make money the old fashioned way, Kanye West should feel the love at the Palms on Monday.

Mariah Carey to Host New Year’s Eve Festivities at TAO
TAO Asian Bistro and Nightclub
December 31st at 9:00 PM 
TAO Asian Bistro and Nightclub is proud to announce the incomparable Mariah Carey as the 2007 New Year’s Eve mistress of ceremonies. With the success of her M by Mariah Carey fragrance and the anticipated new album to be released in early 2008, Carey will throw a party for her friends and fans in style with a huge New Year’s Eve bash at TAO Las Vegas.

Mariah Carey is a five-time Grammy® Award-winning artist and has recorded more number-one singles than any other female solo artist, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. In addition to being one of the top female singers of our lifetime, Carey is also an accomplished songwriter, producer, actress and entrepreneur.

Tickets are now on sale for the New Year’s Eve celebration at TAO Asian Bistro and Nightclub. All guests will be required to purchase a ticket for entry into the venue for the evening. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. on Monday, December 31 and entry will include complimentary hors d’oeuvres and open bar from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

For those craving a high energy, DJ driven atmosphere, the 10,000 square foot TAO Nightclub is the place to see and be seen, with three full-service bars, two main rooms playing a variety of hip hop, house, rock and mash-ups, and a state-of-theart audio and lighting systems. For guests seeking ultra-VIP treatment, the nightclub offers eight private skyboxes, each featuring European bottle service, mini-bar, an espresso machine and banquettes with secured purse drawers. A voyeuristic design throughout, the nightclub allows people to see the entire venue from almost every point in the room while sexy performance vignettes, including nearly nude bombshells taking rose petal baths, can be seen nightly. The nightclub also boasts a 40-foot long outside terrace with awe-inspiring views of the famed Las Vegas Strip.

Rappers Tech N9ne and Mac Lethal mention Mariah
Kansas City rappers Tech N9ne and Mac Lethal  in an interview with Jason Harper from The Pitch:
If you were to collaborate on a song, what would it be about? 
Mac: It'd probably be a Seven beat, 'cause he's done both our records. 
Tech: Yeah — all day, all night. 
Mac: He's a nasty motherfucker. 
Tech: Seven's insane with the production. He's been working with us on several albums. He's a producer out of Wichita. 
Is that a factor when you're choosing a producer — who else he's worked with or is working with? 
Mac: Not really. Because if it's not gonna work with your sound — 
Tech: I get beats from everywhere. I get beats from Denmark. I used to have a producer out of Berlin, Germany. We get beats wherever the real deep pulses are. Wherever the pulses are, that's where I get my beats — beats that really slam, that knock. You know — no pulse, no life. We go everywhere, whether it's the guy on the top or low on the totem pole. I don't care where we get it. We're getting beats from Alabama now, from a guy by the name of David Sanders. We get 'em from everywhere. Trackster, Chicago, he does Twista's music. He's responsible for Do or Die's music. And Mariah Carey. We get beats from everywhere, and Seven just happens to be a diverse motherfucker. 
Mac: If we do a song together, we gotta get Mariah Carey on some vocals, talking about drinking and fucking and hatred of religion. 
Tech: [laughs] And then, after we do the song, actually act it out with her. Drinkin', fuckin' and drinkin' and smokin' and humpin' and likin' it. Ha! 
Mac: I have a big thing for Mariah Carey, still, to this day. 
Tech: Always did. Always did! 
Mac: No one's ever gonna touch her. 
Tech: I like crazy bitches, you know what I'm sizzlin'? I'm attracted to lost souls, and she seems like she falls right into the category of a bitch that might be bipolar. I love it. 
Mac: She's also one of the only people that can sing in the whistle register. She can sing as high as a whistle with her voice. And she has an ass, too.

Aspen, the next Capri????
Like I posted this summer, Capri has changed a lot and celebrities who go there to relax are constantly annoyed by paps and tourists.  It seems now the same is
happening in Aspen.  Celebrities are purchased by an army of annoying, rude, wild people better known as paparazzi. Until now, there were almost only licensed
photographers in Aspen, they were correct and checked in with the police department when they arrived in the city,  they were regulars in Aspen.  Unfortunately,
this year, the wolves are in Aspen too.  Celebrities and people living in Aspen are tired of this rude paps.  When you have the chance to take some pictures of a
celebrity and that celebrity agrees to pause, it's enough.... why trying to purchase them everywhere????
When celebrities take a break for vacations or an Holiday break, why is there a need to chase them..... oh well, you can't change a pap, at least it's better than
meeting a celebrity who's kind enough to chat with you, filming her with a cam hidden in a bag and then put it up on YouTube, anyone...?????

Jay-Z not a Def Jam president anymore
As there's not a lot of Mariah news today, I thought some of you would be interested to know (if you didn't know it yet) that Jay-Z quites his Def Jam president function, the news was published everywhere on Dec. 24th.  Universal Music Group announced that Jay-Z is stepping down as Def Jam president.  Universal said Carter, also top-selling rap artist Jay-Z, will continue recording for its Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam label. But the company did not give a reason for his decision to quit the executive suite.

The kids had a wonderful time.  There were 85 kids taken to Aspen to go tubing. Mariah bought them new winter coats, new winter boots, and ski suits.  They returned home at 3am. It was a long day for them and they were worn out, but they said it was awesome. 
They were able to get pictures with Mariah and an autograph.

Mariah’s Puppy Love
As the thermometer gets lower, and the nights get colder, what’s a diva to do in order to stay warm?  Looks like Mariah Carey will be snuggling up with her new puppy, just in time for Christmas. 
The pop diva was spotted outside of her parent’s jewelry store in Aspen, Colorado over the weekend.  And she was showing off her new canine pal. 
Reportedly, the “Always Be My Baby” singer spent a lengthy five hours inside the Joan Boyce store.  And for Mariah, it was nothing but the best. 
She sipped cocktails and tried on all kinds of bling-bling during her half-day stay at the store.  And as she left, Carey posed for the paps before slipping on the icy sidewalk. Thankfully, she had a bodyguard to catch her fall.

Mariah Carey vs. Scrooges

The Conflict: Can Mariah Carey's classic holiday song melt the cold hearts of Christmas scrooges?
So, the past couple of Showdowns we've examined have been entirely theoretical, but today we actually have some life experience related to the matter at hand.

We have long believed in the magical powers of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Released 13 years ago, it's the only Christmas song to reach iTune's top 10 most downloaded list, and it continually tops Billboard charts every December. Love Actually, one of our favorite holiday movies, seems to be based entirely on this song.

If commercial success weren't enough, there's that warm fuzzy feeling we get every time we hear the simple chimes of a xylophone at the very beginning of the song. It gives us just enough time to shush everyone so they can enjoy the greatness about to play out.

From there it just gets better, the slow start, the piano that speeds the song up, the backup vocals, the lamest bass line ever, the jingle bells, Mariah's voice reaching octaves inaccessible to humans and, most of all, the title lyric that fills our heart with love for love.

We thought this song was enough to cure even the most extreme cases of bah humbuggery. But something happened this past weekend that changed the world as we knew it.

While at a deejay-it-yourself holiday party, we thought it would be okay to bring on the Christmas cheer with the best holiday song ever...because we attended the holiday party to celebrate the holidays, right? But no, completely shut down. It was exclusively a Neutral Milk Hotel kind of night. No festive songs at all. 

Based on experience, it looks like the win goes to the Scrooges. 

Honestly though, we don't want to live in a world where there's no "All I Want for Christmas Is You" at holiday parties. We're going to go on naively believing everyone is as into this song as they should be. In fact, we bet Mariah sends plenty of indie-Scrooge hearts aflutter when there's no one else around.

Are we wrong? Are there any other songs out there that you believe can warm the coldest of hearts? Has anyone else unexpectedly experienced the Mariah Carey backlash? Let it all out in the Comments.

Playboy' writer Jason Buhrmester about Mariah: "She's a lot smarter than I thought"
The first time Jason Buhrmester was set to interview Mariah Carey, he got stood up. Maybe, he thought, she misunderstood the time. He meant midnight his time -- Eastern time. Perhaps Carey thought she was supposed to call him at midnight her time, Pacific time. So he waited until 3 a.m. to see if the pop songstress would give him a ring.
No such luck.
Buhrmester did eventually get Carey on the phone, and she's one of many stars about whom he can say, "Yeah, I've talked to her." Buhrmester, a 34-year-old Bradley native who now lives in Brooklyn, New York, rambles off the list of celebs he's interviewed: Charles Barkley, Kate Beckinsale, Helena Bonham Carter, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart. Buhrmester recently spoke to The Daily Journal about getting started at Playboy magazine.
Who is nothing like your expectations of how they would be? 
- I would say Mariah (Carey), actually. I tend to go into things with a preconceived notion of kind of who the people are. I do a ton of research. I find out what they like to answer and what they don't like to answer, and I try to ask the questions they don't like to answer to try to get that information out of them. She's a lot smarter than I thought. She's open about things if you really kind of press her toward it. I was surprised. She was a lot of fun.

Def Jam, the leading force in the rap industry, offered a production deal calling for Toomp to create 10 to 20 songs for the label roster.
"I always knew Toomp was on the verge of exploding" as a major talent, says Def Jam's Shakir Stewart, who helped broker the deal. He points out that the song deal didn't guarantee studio sessions with top acts; it was up to Toomp to network and capitalize on the opportunity.
West and Toomp's "Good Life" single sits at No. 7 on the Billboard singles chart. Jay-Z's American Gangster, released Nov. 6, opened at No. 1 on the album charts, and Toomp's "Say Hello" is one of its highlights. In the coming months, he's slated to go into the studio with Nas and Mariah Carey.

Toomp's next goal is to secure a deal with Def Jam for his production company, NZone Entertainment. He's grooming a new crop of acts, including the songwriting team Six20, and rappers Kenoe and Suga Suga. "Hopefully we can do even bigger business," Stewart says. "If Toomp brings in the right artist that fits our machine, I would eventually do a record label with Toomp, if it made sense."

A few weeks later, Toomp gets the really big news – confirmation that after two decades as a journeyman, he's as hot a commodity as he's ever been: The Recording Academy announces Dec. 6 that Kanye West is up for eight Grammys and, for his work on Graduation, Toomp has a share in three of the nominations.

Whaaaat??????
Mary J. Blige isn't bitter she lost hit track Umbrella to Rihanna - insisting it was too mainstream for her.
The R&B diva tried to record to the song, but it was handed to Rihanna instead.
Now Blige claims she was happy to let the Barbadan beauty take the tune to the top of the charts around the globe - so she could concentrate on creating her own sound.
She says, "I'm not going to chase what (mainstream) fans like. It might work for a Mariah. It might work for a Beyonce. But Mary J. Blige is looked at as some sort of organic thing."

This is were the Moroccan scents memories for "M" came from

What: Moorish-style estate with four-bedroom main house and outbuildings on landscaped five-acre park.
Where: Marrakech, Morocco
Amenities: Orange and olive groves, landscaped gardens, pool, pool house, five-bedroom staff quarters including two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom staff house, covered rooftop entertaining space.
Due Diligence: The owner, born Princess Henriette Auersperg of Austria, used this as a seasonal home together with her late husband, Arndt von Bohlen und Halbach, a scion of Germany's Krupp steel-making dynasty. In the 1970s, the couple had the villa built on a former citrus farm granted to the Krupp family by King Hassan II of Morocco, says the 74-year-old owner, known as "Hetti" von Bohlen. Located five miles from central Marrakech, the home has the largest lot in the area. Designed for entertaining, with two salons and two rooftop cabanas, the home abandons the traditional Medina courtyard style in favor of an L-shape with two guest wings. A staff of 10 maintains the estate, and it rents for about $22,000 a week. Previous renters include Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and singer Mariah Carey, Mrs. von Bohlen says.

Mariah's "AIWFCIY" ringtone tops 1 Million in the US
Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' Is Nation's Best-Selling Contemporary Holiday Ringtone For Second Year Running With Sales Topping 1 Million.

America's cell phones are ringing with the seasonal sounds of holiday ringtones from SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT's Commercial Music Group (CMG) with Mariah Carey's yuletide classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You," leading the pack with sales of more than 1.2 million and a new RIAA platinum certification. Last year, when the track struck Gold status, Mariah's holiday gem became the very first seasonal Mastertone to be awarded an RIAA certification.
In 2006, the Top 5 Christmas songs from the CMG accounted for 49% of all Christmas Mastertone sales. Last year, Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" brought home an astounding 23% of all seasonal Mastertone sales and 56% of all holiday Ringback sales.

Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the highest charting Christmas release so far this year on the Billboard Hot Ringmasters chart, where it has reached #3. The song is currently #8 on the Nielsen SoundScan Digital Songs chart and #7 on the Nielsen SoundScan Hot Digital Tracks chart.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" was first heard as a key track on Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas album. Originally released in 1994, Merry Christmas has gone on to become one of the top-selling holiday collections of all time, selling more than 11 million copies worldwide while earning 5x platinum certification from the RIAA.

Adam Sandler, you like him or not as an actor, that's a question of feeling or taste, but by judging on the trailer, for my part, I'll only pay attention at Mariah's cameo and when Adam wears Mariah t-shirts  (let's hope Mariah's cameo is not only the t-shirts ). 
Now that I think about it, maybe Mariah's part in the movie is at one of her The Adventures of Mimi concert, maybe in the movie the Zohan went to her concert as he wears a Mimi t-shirt.

Patti Labelle Mentions Mariah in Vibe interview

How is it to be back on Def Jam recording and working with L.A. Reid?
It's wonderful working with LA and all the people at the Def Jam family. I am the oldest person at the Def Jam family! Before they had a category, "Classic Soul", now it's just "Patti LaBelle's Back," which is a wonderful thing that LA really wanted me back. Mariah Carey was pissed! She wanted to beat LA up! Why'd you let my mother go? Everybody was mad and LA didn't mean any harm, but he just had to do what he had to do at that time. So I'm back and it's because of him I'm back.

BlueBlastMedia Aims to Bring Interaction, Metrics To OOH
A&E Networks's campaign for its new show "Paranormal State" features massive billboards in New York and Los Angeles with visual and audio effects that make passersby think they're having a supernatural experience. 

But according to vendors like BlueBlastMedia, this kind of creative is also having an effect on the industry as a whole--helping to bring a more concrete sense of interaction and metrics to out-of-home (OOH) ads.

BlueBlastMedia is a vendor of the Holosonics technology that enables billboards to transmit the "audio spotlights," or sounds that can only be heard by people within a predefined vicinity. The New York-based firm has powered Holosonics wallscapes for Target and smaller, poster-sized "wild postings" for Mariah Carey's new fragrance (via Elizabeth Arden), in addition to the "Paranormal State" campaign.
According to JP Freeley, director of BlueBlastMedia, part of the allure of these kinds of non-traditional OOH ads is that his firm can provide "hit reports" tied to the Holosonics data. "It's almost like CTRs for online ads," Freeley said. "Since wild postings are motion-activated, we can keep a log of how many times the message is triggered. And all of the audio spotlights allow agencies to measure what times of day or day of week are getting the most traffic." 

While Freeley admitted that the technology couldn't actually measure how many people acknowledged the message or looked at the poster, he said that it could help agencies figure out whether a billboard or poster was placed for maximum exposure, and whether it would be worth their client's dollars the next go-around.

Music retailers complain about lack of new albums
Be careful what you ask for -- you just might get it.
For years, music retailers have complained that the labels wait until the fourth quarter to release albums from their biggest stars, creating a drought during the other nine months.

This year, the labels somehow forgot to do even that. And they also forgot to have a hot release ready for the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, a day that usually earns the Super Tuesday distinction, since it's so heavy with big releases. Last week, the highest new entry on the Billboard 200 came in at a lowly No. 50. 

Just three years ago, the fourth quarter was packed with new releases from the likes of Eminem, U2, Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, Rod Stewart, R. Kelly, Jay-Z/Linkin Park and Kelly Clarkson.

Merchants are crying the blues, but at least they'll have some big releases for the first quarter for a change: So far, Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lenny Kravitz and Sheryl Crow are due out in the new year.

One independent retailer suggested, however, that without big releases in the fourth quarter, his store might not be around in the first quarter.

UK: Christmas Charts Bring Back Classics
This year's Christmas pop charts are set to be the most festive ever, thanks to new rules on downloads, experts predict.
Ghosts of Christmas past such as Wham, Wizzard and Andy Williams are expected to feature in the Top 40 when the latest chart is announced this weekend.
And more Christmas classics may appear because of new rules, said mobile phone firm 3.
Downloaded music has counted towards chart sales since 2005 - but until earlier this year, only songs that were also available to buy in the shops were eligible.
Now, for the first time ever, the Christmas charts can include any festive track from the archives, even if it is no longer in shops.
Insiders expect tomorrow's top 20 to include The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's Fairytale Of New York and Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You.
An estimated 79 per cent of the 65million singles sold in the UK last year were downloads.
John Penberthy-Smith, 3's marketing director, said: "As people get into the festive spirit, there's nothing to stop them downloading Christmas favourites from yesteryear.
"There could even be a rush to download a favourite Christmas carol into the charts."

Mariah Carey fans hijack Echo Xmas poll

Devoted Mariah Carey fans have hijacked an Echo poll by encouraging followers across the globe to skew the vote. 

Two weeks ago the Echo's website launched an online poll asking the people of Lincolnshire what their favourite Christmas song was.

All the classics are listed, from Bing Crosby's White Christmas to The Pogues' Fairytale of New York.

But one Echo reader decided to make Carey top of the pops.

After voting for her hit All I Want for Christmas is You, the fan posted details of the survey on the star's official website.

Fans from the US, South America, Australia and across Europe then logged on to the Echo's website to place their vote.

Within 24 hours the previous poll leader Fairytale of New York had been knocked into second place.

As things stand now Carey has a whopping 54.3 per cent of the vote, with the Pogues in second place with just 15.3 per cent.

Die-hard Pogues fan Michael Donaghy (35), of Winn Street, Lincoln, said he was disgusted.

"What a joke," he said.

"I'm going to get all my mates on the case - we'll soon get Shane back up there."

But Carey fan Liz Wood (32), of Nettleham Road, Lincoln, said the singer deserved to streak ahead.

"This just shows how huge she is worldwide. She has an amazing voice and it's a great song - vote for her."

How Much Is That Celebrity in the Window?
Who's making a guest appearance at your private New Year's Eve party this year? Elton John, Robin Williams or will you settle for Tara Reid? 

That all depends on your wallet and the value of your guest's star stock. In the thriving rent-a-celebrity business, the price tag for having a celeb drop by is a telling barometer of who's hot and who's not. 

This week, the going rate for Tara Reid, the chaste blonde from the teen cult-classic "American Pie," fell precipitously on the private party circuit. Her asking price dropped from $35,000 to appear at a "Hooker's Ball" with shirtless cowboys to $3,500 for some private parties, according to Australian tabloids. 

"The people who used to be in demand are the good deals today," says Dan Barrett, entertainment producer for Millionaires Concierge, which calls itself the "yellow pages of the rich and famous." 

Jessica Is Down
Reid is in good (or bad) company. Demand for Jessica Simpson and former husband Nick Lachey has gone the route of their three-year marriage -- down the tubes. 

In an US Weekly survey of celebrity bookings in 2006, Simpson could command up to $400,000 for a private performance, and her ex went for $100,000. Today, the actress's price has fallen to $75,000, only a little more than Lachey's $60,000 a gig, according to Star Link Productions, which books celebrities for fundraisers and private parties. 

Similarly, R&B and pop artist Usher, who once earned $1 million for a private appearance, can now get only $175,000, booking agencies say. 

An increasing number of celebrities are relying on the private party circuit to enrich their paychecks. But as some, like Reid, see their star stock plunge, others are soaring in the lucrative and growing celebrity-for-rent business. 

The hottest names garner the biggest price tags. 

Mariah's on Fire
Mariah Carey earns a cool $3 million for a private appearance, up from $1 million in 2006, and Pamela Anderson's price has ballooned from $75,000 to $250,000.

I told him about you guys, send me an e-mail (until tomorrow evening) with the subject "Saint Nicolas", you never know, maybe he will give a lil' present for one of you.

- Oh grand Saint Nicolas, patron des écoliers, apportez-moi des pommes dans mes petits souliers, je serai toujours sage comme un petit mouton, je dirai ma prière pour avoir des bonbons, venez, venez Saint Nicolas, venez, venez Saint Nicolas, venez, venez Saint Nicolas, tra la la.
- Sinterklaas kapoentje, leg wat in mijn schoentje, leg wat in mijn laarsje, dank u Sinterklaasje.

Mariah featured on Randy's upcoming album
Randy Jackson told E! News' Ryan Seacrest Wednesday that he is prepping the release of a new CD featuring a duet with Paula Abdul. 

"It's hot," Jackson said on Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, while declining to provide many specifics about the collaboration. (Listen to the full interview.) 

Other guests on the album, dubbed Randy Jackson's Music Club: Vol. 1, on which Jackson will arrange and play instruments, include Richie Sambora, Mariah Carey and Joss Stone, Jackson said.

The album is slated for release in weeks, to coincide with the start of the new season of American Idol—which both Jackson and Seacrest agreed is shaping up to be the best yet.

Heroes note: The album is produced with the help of Danish Deekay songwriters/ producers Lars Halvor Jensen, Martin Michael Larsson, Obi & Josh and Tim McEwan.

The first singles chart of December also had something of a festive flavor, aided by the fact that this will be the first Christmas in which download-only sales are allowed on the singles countdown. Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (Columbia), which reached No. 2 in the U.K. at Christmas 1994, climbed 46-23. The track would have been a hit again last year if download-only sales had been allowed, but was selling just before the new rule came into place in January.

M Mariah Carey may be the most interesting
Designers offer finest choices in a crowded perfume market.
"A fragrance is like a cat burglar," Roja Dove, a world-renowned perfume expert, once suggested. "It has the key with which to pick the lock and unleash your memories."

While various subcategories of the fashion and beauty industry struggle to survive, the fragrance sector continues to see steady growth. A flood of new celebrity scents fueled that growth in 2007, while luxury and designer brands reasserted their long-held position in the marketplace with numerous launches.

Personal fragrance is still big business, with the prestige market alone approaching $2.9 billion annually, according to The NPD Group, a 40-year-old, New York-based market research firm.

The key to the fragrance industry's success may be the rapidly expanding number of options for consumers. There's no shortage of scents old or new at retail, with special gift sets at Christmas and other major gift-giving holidays bolstering sales.

Visit any department store and you'll find the rising number of celebrity fragrances eating away at display space. A signature scent, it seems, has become the ultimate vanity product for stars. Beyond keeping a name in the forefront, a namesake fragrance can generate a significant revenue stream that continues to flow long after the luminary's lustre has begun to fade.

Unfortunately, celeb scents veer toward the cliched and redundant, been-there-smelled-that shadows of better scents already on the market. Many of this year's launches are either too raw and grungy -- like men's scents KISS (after the face-painted rock group) and David Beckham's Intimately Beckham -- or overly saccharin, such as Usher She and L, a L.A.M.B. fragrance by Gwen Stefani.

Can Can Paris Hilton, the ubuiquitous heiress' newest offering, is downright cloying in its floral sugary sweetness. Like so many other women's fragrances by celebs, it's not much more than a good starter fragrance for a 12-year-old.

Among the crop of celeb scents introduced in 2007, M Mariah Carey may be the most interesting. The eau de parfum opens with the sweetness of the living Tahitian tiare flower and unfolds into a warm, nuanced scent with whispers of toasted marshmallows and incense.
