Mariah is ok
I just phoned to Mariah's management, to ask them if she was ok.  The answer is : "yes, she's ok".  It was all I wanted to know.  And then they thank me.
Thanks to Mariah's management (it was a person that I've never heard before).

Mariah Taken Into Care-y!
Mariah Carey has become the latest pop personality to fall victim to the plague of exhaustion which has swept the world of music over the past few years. The dynamic diva has been admitted to a private clinic in New York after promotional duties for 'Glitter', her new album and film, have left her in poor health.  Get well soon.
Thanks to Top Of The Pops and the BBC.

Who is responsible?
Mister T., Cindy B, record companies, Luis, the management,the press.......  Maybe us,  fans, too (exigeant, protective, sometimes hysterical).  Mariah said in her message number 1 : "And so it's nobody's fault really it's just that I got - I worked it into a bad place and I'm not trying to have any bad comments around anybody by telling peoples names."
Like a popular expression says here in my country : "We need good vegetables to make a good soup!"  But who will find the good vegetables for Mariah?  (Of course, I'm not talking about vegetables, in this expression vegetables mean people).

Kin Helping To Carey Diva's Load
Mariah Carey's family finally has stepped in to aid the embattled singer, who was hospitalized this week for "extreme exhaustion."  The pop star is resting at an undisclosed New York-area hospital.  Rumors were rampant yesterday that exhaustion was the least of it, but "It is not an alcohol or a drug problem," said Carey's rep, Cindi Berger. "I can say that unequivocally."  Here is what I know, so far, about events leading to Carey's collapse: On July 19, a Thursday, Carey made an unscheduled appearance on MTV's "Total Request Live" wearing a T-shirt and shorts and began stripping down to her bra top on camera, causing host Carson Daly to cut to a commercial. The next day, she seemed vague and rambling during a record-promotion appearance at Roosevelt Field on Long Island. On Monday, she was spotted acting in a similar fashion at the SoHo Grand Hotel.  By Tuesday, her mother, Pat, insisted that Mariah stay with her. Early Wednesday, the singer posted a rambling message — since taken down — on her Web site that read, "I don't know what's going on with life. ... I'm trying to understand things in life right now and so I really don't feel that I should be doing music right now." Late Wednesday, she entered the hospital.  Adding to the turmoil, Carey also may be contemplating changes in her management group. Sources told me that her brother, Morgan, intends to take control of his sister's affairs and will replace her manager, Louise McNally.
Berger insisted that no management change had been made. "Maroon Entertainment," McNally's company, "continues to function as usual," said Berger. "Louise is dealing with the many aspects of Mariah's busy career while she rests." In another plaintive message on her Web site, Mariah told her fans, "Right now I need a break so I will, as a human being, take that break. And then I'm going to come back and sing for a minute, after I get my management company put together."
Thanks to Mitchell Fink, Alissa MacMillan from the New York Daily News.

All the promo tours canceled?
It seems that the promo tours for Glitter have been canceled.
I don't care!  At this moment the only thing important is to know if Mariah is ok and that she will recover stability in her life.  The Billboard, the promos, the movie...  Mariah is so much more than that!
Toutes les tournées promo annulées?
Il paraîtrait que les tournées promo pour Glitter aient été annulées.
Que m'importe!  Pour le moment ce qui nous préoccupe est de savoir si Mariah va bien et qu'elle retrouve un équilibre dans sa vie.  Le Billboard, les promos, le film... Mariah c'est bien plus que ça!
Alle promo evenementen geannuleerd?
Naar het schijnt is de promo-toor voor Glitter afgeschijft.
Wat geeft het!  Het enige wat ons momenteel bezighoudt is te weten indien Mariah het goed maakt en dat ze vlug een evenwicht in haar leven terugvindt.  De Billboard, de promo's, de film...  Mariah is veel meer dan dat!
Posted on July the 28th at 8h45am CET
IMPORTANT  : for the first time the spy may post his info in the news
The spy did investigations and found this on the site of Foxnews :
-Nancy Berry, that Mariah refers in the message number 1, runs Virgin Records.
-Mariah's spokeswoman said she could not say at which hospital Mariah was receiving treatment.
The spy also discover the possible country where Mariah is hospitalized, but in the interest of Mariah, the spy will not reveal this country.  The spy will follow this track and will see if it's a rumor or not.

Toffe radio
We hebben laten weten aan Radio Contact nl dat Mariah in het ziekenhuis is opgenomen en we hebben hun gevraagd een lied van Mariah te spelen.  Zeer sympathiek!  Ze hebben het gedaan!  Om 13h15 konden we Loverboy horen en dan hebben ze gezegd : "Het gaat niet te goed met Mariah Carey, ze is in het ziekenhuis, zelfs sterren zijn mensen en te veel is te veel".
Veel dank aan Radio Contact nl (Belgïe)
Sorry als je fouten vind, maar Björn onze nederlandstalige lid van de staff is op vakantie.

Cool radio
We've contacted Radio Contact nl (a Belgian radio station) to let them know that Mariah was hospitalized and we ask them to play a song of Mariah.  Cool!  They did it!  They played Loverboy and then they said : "Mariah Carey is not feeling so good, she must be hospitalized, even the stars are humans and too much is too much".
Many thanks to Radio Contact nl (Belgium)

Radio sympa
On a laissé savoir à Radio Contact nl que Mariah a été hospitalisée et on leur a demandé de passer une chanson de Mariah.  Super sympa!  Ils l'ont fait!  A 13h15 ils ont passé Loverboy et puis ils ont dit : "Mariah Carey ne se sent pas très bien, elle a été admise à l'hopital, même les stars sont des humains et trop c'est trop".
Un grand merci à Radio Contact nl (Belgique)

Popdiva Mariah Carey wegens oververmoeidheid in ziekenhuis
NEW YORK 26/07 (DPA) = De Amerikaanse popzangeres Mariah Carey heeft zich wegens "extreme vermoeidheid" laten opnemen in een ziekenhuis in New York. Dat heeft haar woordvoerster donderdag gemeld.  De toestand van de 31-jarige popdiva is te wijten aan teveel werk.  Carey heeft zopas de opname van twee films ("Glitter" en "Wise") afgerond en heeft ook de soundtrack voor de eerste film geschreven, opgenomen en geproducet. De film over een aankomende zangeres
(gespeeld door Carey) is de eerste hoofdrol van de populaire zangeres en komt eind augustus in omloop in de Amerikaanse filmzalen.  Afgelopen week bekende Carey dat ze onder slapeloosheid lijdt en nauwelijks drie uur per nacht rust vindt. "Ik kan me zo moeilijk ontspannen", zo luidde het.  Eerder deze week raakte bekend dat het Amerikaanse tieneridool Britney Spears, die ook razend populair is, in een gezondheidscentrum verblijft om bij te komen van een zenuwinzinking. De 18-jarige popster heeft gedwongen rust genomen./. PSM
Dank u aan onze contact van de Belgische distributor voor Glitter (de film) die de info kreeg van de Belgische press agentie Belga.

Mariah Carey Hospitalized For 'Extreme Exhaustion'
Singer's publicity firm suggests cause is pace of filming two movies, completing album.  Mariah Carey entered a hospital Wednesday night for treatment of "extreme exhaustion," according to her publicity firm.  In a terse press release, the PMK publicity firm suggested that the pace of filming two movies, "Glitter" and "Wise Girls," while completing the Glitter album, caused Carey to become exhausted.  "I'm trying to understand things in life right now and so I really don't feel that I should be doing music right now," Carey said earlier this week in a despondent voice message left on her official Web site, according to a fan-site transcript confirmed by Cindi Berger, Carey's spokesperson at PMK.
The message, and another one left soon afterwards, has disappeared from Carey's site (www.mariahcarey.com). Berger said that Mariah was "obviously exhausted and not thinking clearly" when the singer left the rambling messages, which included complaints of unspecified problems with her management and record label.  "What I'd like to do is just a take a little break or at least get one night of sleep without someone popping up about a video," Carey said. "All I really want is [to] just be me and that's what I should have done in the first place ... I don't say this much but guess what, I don't take care of myself."
Berger declined to provide any more details on Carey's situation. Her manager did not immediately return a call for comment.
According to MTV's publicity department, Carey has canceled her scheduled headlining appearance at MTV's 20th birthday celebration, "MTV20: Live and Almost Legal," August 1 in New York (see "Diddy, Durst, Kid Rock, Ja Rule Added To MTV Birthday Bash").  Carey's current single, "Loverboy," jumped from #60 to #2 on this week's Billboard Hot 100, thanks to high sales. Before going on sale last week, the single had suffered from sluggish radio play. The Hot 100 is based on both sales and airplay.  Glitter, her first album for Virgin, is due in stores August 21.

Mariah's sad messages
Thanks to Will from MCWNO we were able to read these transcripts.
PART ONE
 So basically all I really want to say is I don't know what's going on with life. And I hope all the fans are good and I just want you to know that I'm trying to understand things in life right now and so I really don't feel that I should be doing music right now. And I just want everyone to understand that - and that's really true. So, if I don't make music it's not because I don't want to for you fans. And, if I [sigh] I have two phones in my ear. I'm not saying I'm defeated because I'm not defeated. I'm just gonna do this for me, and I know that the people who care about me will care about me. But I just can't trust anybody anymore right now because I don't understand what's going on.
 So, because I'm not watching t.v., I'm just desperately trying to get out of this room. And I don't know if that makes any sense to anybody, but the truth is I am calling to say that I love you - to my fans. I hope this message gets to you. I'm not gonna be - are you going to - Glitter is going to be out soon. And you're gonna have that, and then I'm gonna be taking some time off.
 I can't reach Nancy Berry so I'd like to say that Nancy, I will record and stuff it's just that I needed some time off but nobody was really giving it to me. And I feel that that's only because of [clears throat] the situation that we've been dealing with for awhile. And that my managers were a little upset about it and they were trying to press on and get through it, but that didn't work. And so it's nobody's fault really it's just that I got - I worked it into a bad place and I'm not trying to have any bad comments around anybody by telling peoples names.
 And well, what I'd like to do is just take a little break or at least get one night of sleep without someone popping up about a video or a thing - where all I really want to do is just be me. And that's what I should have done in the first place but somebody - I mean people - whatever. I allowed myself to be a little bit too paranoid about life. And life is for living so that's how deep this is.
 So if anybody gets this that really cares, just do me a favor, close the record - close the management company down that I own, and I'm gonna lye here and wait for that to happen - not that anybody cares. It probably sounds ridiculous. But, I can't reach anybody on the phone so actually, that's where were at.
 So fans I love ya, we're gonna do it again. And were gonna do it, we're gonna make, and if I take a little time off that's cool. And that's all I'm saying lambs, you know how I love you. And everything's great, all right? Bye.
PART TWO
 ["Crybaby" ending plays] Hello? Hello? Randolph? Oh, Randolph? [Sigh]. Try it again. Okay. Hey everybody it's Mariah. I'm just trying to let you know that I'm leaving this message because everything's okay. And what we're gonna do is, I'm gonna take like a minute off. And then what's gonna happen is you're gonna see the movie and things of that nature. So don't think anything's crazy if there's anything bizarre going on with the internet or any of that stuff. Honestly, I'm not paying any attention to any of that. I'm ready to take off my pager. And you know how I am.
 So what I want to do is to let you know that everything's cool. And that - hello? Randolph? And that I'm gonna make music for you but right now I need a break so I will, as a human being, take that break. And then I'm going to come back and sing for a minute, after I get my management company put together and after I take care of some other issues. So - okay?
 So thank you, nothing's wrong, you don't have to do anything to anybody. I just need a break. And I know I don't say this that much but guess what? It's time to take care of myself. And I feel that it's a little disgusting that people can't understand that a celebrity is not more important than - and this is not gonna make much sense but, than my friend's little girl and her safety. That's all I cared about basically. And some other personal issues. And honestly this is not for anything other than the fact that I care about my fans. And I'm telling you this, and I would like to walk out of a hotel with some dignity.
 So, that being said, you guys know how random my messages are anyway - I love ya, and we're gonna do it again, okay? And there's nothing to be upset about. We still win, if you win spiritually you win anyway. Okay, I hope this message gets to them. No I pray actually. Actually let me see something. Just hold on. [Phone cuts off].
Thanks to Will from MCWNO for these transcripts.

Mariah Carey Causing A Sensation Across Europe
On this tight promotional schedule, the singer/actress has been causing pandemonium wherever she goes. Fans of the multi-million selling superstar have been appearing in their hundreds at airports, outside TV and radio stations as well as in front of the hotels where Mariah is staying.  All just to catch a glimpse of their hero.  In some cities, fans have been camping outside hotels, chanting Mariah’s name throughout the night and in some instances they have been following her from city to city.  Mariah said today: “I feel a strong connection to my fans – no matter what – they are always here for me – and I am enormously grateful for that.”
Thanks to Virgin Belgium for their support.
Don't forget the Mariah bandeau contest open to all, members or not.  Extended until August the 31st.

Mariah Carey only gets three hours' sleep a night
Mariah Carey only sleeps for three hours a night because she worries so much.  She says she stays awake because she has so many things on her mind.  The singer told The Sun the problem had got worse as she had become more successful.
"I stay up thinking about all the loose ends," said Mariah.  "When I get these flashes of nerves, I'll call a friend or type on my pager or watch a movie or write lyrics or sit in the kitchen with my dog and cat.  "If I'm feeling comfortable I could sleep for ten or 12 hours, but generally I get about three."
Thanks to Ananova.
Comments : Come on Mariah!  Sleep peacefully, don't worry so much, you know that all your fans are there for you!  And when you can't sleep, you can also give me a call.

Thanks, thanks, thanks to Virgin Belgium.

Mariah accused to copy Kylie Minogue (part2)
We give this info to Shino from LoveLoveJack and she had the great idea to post a link where we can see the Spinning Around video.  This idea gave me an idea, and I made a screen capture of Kylie's hotpants.  Hey, don't think that I only look to hotpants, it was only to show if this magazine was right.
Comments : Well, ok, Kylie have a hotpants, Mariah have a hotpants and my grandma have a hotpants too, but my grandma is not so sexy :-)

Mariah accused to copy Kylie Minogue
We read in a Belgian dutch teen magazine that for the video clip of Loverboy, Mariah chooses for a super sexy look like Kylie past year.  The video who is supposed to be copied by Mariah is "Spinning Around" from Kylie Minogue.  So in this video Kylie wear 80's hotpants and now, says the magazine, Mariah wear a blue hotpants.  Always from the magazine, Mariah want to make a great comeback with Loverboy with her look.
Comments : We think that this magazine has only forgot to talk about Mariah's voice and music.  We found also that this magazine don't tell the source of this accusation.
Posted on July the 4th.
