Nicki Minaj Loved Making 'Up Out My Face' Video
With Mariah Carey
"That one, I didn't believe until I was physically in the studio that I was doing with something with Mariah," the New York native told MTV News last week. "I didn't even tell anyone I shot a video with Mariah, because I didn't even believe. In the back of my mind, I felt like, 'This video is not gonna come out. There's no way I'm gonna do a video with Mariah Carey before I even put out my album.' Then, when it came out, I think it was the #1 video on YouTube in one day, something crazy like that. She's an icon, I've loved her since I was little, like 'Vision of Love,' 'Someday.' I was one of those little girls in the mirror singing her songs with my mother." Much like her fellow Mariah Carey collaborator and good friend Gucci Mane, Minaj said the real Mariah was nothing like she imagined. "When I met her, she was so funny and silly," Nicki recalled. "I thought when I was gonna work with Mariah, [she] was gonna be like this diva. But we were cracking jokes the whole day. She's a sweet, down-to-earth person." Nicki and Mimi had their names written on two giant baby doll boxes in the video. In the Nick Cannon-directed clip, the two bust out and have a good time changing outfits and playing with men. The doll angle plays perfectly with Nicki's "black Barbie" persona. "I think it was dope," Minaj said about the video. "A lot of times, more famous artists or more confident artists take from a younger artist but they'll never include you in that. I feel like she liked the whole doll thing and she wanted to do it with me. But she said that: She said, 'Everybody's gonna say "she's doing Nicki." But I told her, she's always had a doll persona, like all that 'doll baby' [stuff]. So it goes perfect with Barbie and we had fun. That's all that matters." The remix will appear on Mariah's Angels Advocate
remix LP, due on March 30.

| Mariah IS featured in the Everybody Hurts
video!
Many e-mails came in asking why Mariah wasn't featured in the Everybody Hurts video that hit the net yesterday. She's not in it for the simple fact that that video is not the video for the charity single, it's the video advertising it as it was on sale yesterday. As reported last week, the video is directed by Joseph Khan who already shot all the artists's parts, he's currently in Haiti to shoot the last footages for the video. Posted on February 8 |
| Just like in the US, Mariah receives not
that great reviews for her Ottawa concert, but Mariah had a cold and at
least the fans enjoyed the concert!!!
Sniffles, rather than sizzle, mark Mariah Carey's
Ottawa debut
Mariah Carey made her performance debut in Ottawa last night in front of a smallish crowd of 2,900 at Scotiabank Place. Although she arrived on stage late, seemed to rush through songs and took breaks to conserve her energy, these were not simply attention-getting techniques from the famously difficult diva. No, the superstar had a little cold, she informed us early in the evening, picked up from one of her dancers. It cut into her sleep, she added, "but here I am. The show must go on." In a gold-and-sequined princess dress that showed off her ample cleavage, Carey made a fashionably late entrance dangling in a cocoon-like bundle that descended from the ceiling to the stage. The full-length gown was torn away, revealing a short, leg-baring skirt as her breathy soprano fluttered into Butterfly, then darted from Shake It Off, Touch My Body and Fly Like a Bird. Her voice was surprisingly strong, despite the sniffles, but there were backup singers and electronic effects enhancing her natural vocal power. A full band and a contingent of dancers accompanied Carey on stage, and she occasionally let them take over while she rested her voice and changed outfits. "I'm not going to complain because I love everybody," Carey said, as if to remind herself not to complain. "No matter what you do, you can't make me hate you." At one point, Carey played up her diva reputation with a tongue-in-cheek bit that involved calling her hair and make-up folks onto the stage for a touch-up. It was evidently supposed to be playful and self-deprecating, but the sense of fun was dampened by her poker-face delivery, probably due to the fact that she repeats the gag every night. Sipping something from a champagne glass (she said it was water, Carey seemed to come to life a bit later, and made a point of referring to her new line of champagne. On the whole, though, Carey gave an uninspired performance -- one hopes her champagne isn't quite so flat. Source:Ottawa Citizen (All rights reserved) Scotiabank Place review
You would think that a star as big as Carey — 175 million records sold and a trunkload of Grammy awards — would have been a major event. But fewer than 3,000 glammed-up, hardcore Carey worshippers even bothered to show up for her current Angel’s Advocate show, which is touring North America and getting mixed reviews. Perhaps it was the price of tickets, which went as high as $175 a piece. Ouch! To be honest, after the show on Saturday night, I’d be surprised if she even got enough of an audience to fill the National Arts Centre, based on Carey’s performance on, and off stage. Mariah is the goddess of Grammys, the Princess Di of the divas, as frail as she is fabulous. But when she sings, she turns into a soul-singing superhero, with a five-octave range that can still shatter crystal champagne glasses. And last night, she did plenty of both. I’ve never been to a concert before that was so much about the star, rather than the music. Celine Dion’s show here in 2009 had its narcissistic moments, but nothing on Carey’s scale. All the self-centred diva-like antics might have been worthwhile if they were sincere but Carey’s struck me as all part of the show. And a bit of a lazy show at that. The show started some 40 minutes late. Of course, all was forgiven the instant Carey finally made her entrance, and as grand an entrance as you would expect, with Carey suspended 15 metres in the air, hanging there like an angel, one with God-like cleavage in a dress that resembled a glass of champagne while the band played the Butterfly Intro and Daydream Interlude. Then, it all seemed to go downhill from there. For a scant 90 minutes, Carey treated the fans to a slickly rehearsed, loosely choreographed musical fantasy into her glittery life, parading nearly as many expensive evening gowns and sexy outfits as there were songs, mostly taken from her last album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel with a few classics thrown in. Backed by a five-piece band and with 10 dancers providing a little boogie, a hoarse Carey opened with Shake It Off, Touch My Body and Fly Like a Bird while posing like a contestant in a beauty pageant at centre stage. Later, she blamed being late on a cold that one of the 10 dancers she’s touring with gave her. So it wasn’t her fault. Hand that girl an Academy Award nomination for best dramatic performance by a diva. I mean, c’mon, who else but Carey would bring her own makeup artist onstage for a quick touch-up, or performing Always Be My Baby from a white chaise-lounge and drinking from a fluted glass? From that point on, Carey seemed to loose interest in the show, spending half her time backstage and leaving her backup crew to cover yet another costume change with an able cover of Michael Jackson’s Rock With You before la Carey re-emerged to channel Diana Ross on Ain’t No Mountain/Love Hangover in an inaudible whisper. By now, the novelty was wearing about as thin as Carey’s pablum pop, including Obsessed and Emotions, tunes as girly as gigs get. Like watching a Say Yes To The Dress marathon. I wasn’t that disappointed when Carey seemed suddenly in a hurry to quit the show. Source: Canoe

| Mariah Carey at Bell Center: A Barbie Girl
in a Barbie World
It was like if you were at the kingdom of Disney ... or inside the bag of Barbie. Mariah Carey, high perched on a swing, dressed as the princess in the animated version of Beauty and the Beast, awaited on the ground by four dancers in tuxedo. Everything, on music worthy of a jewelry box. The scene was so kitsch that we didn't know if we should laugh or cry. This feeling has lived in us during a big part of the evening, when the American singer came to the Bell Center. For nearly two hours, Miss Carey served her pop-RnB in such a sweet package that sometimes we had the impression that the theater was transformed in a dollhouse. So much strass
This is without a doubt, the biggest tragedy of
the whole situation. A star of the caliber of Mariah Carey (who,
let's remember, has sold more than 175 million albums worldwide) deserves
better than a cardboard scenery, an uninspired staging and a choreography
worthy of a bad jazz ballet show.
All that is missing is someone who will have the guts to tell her that all that strass and glitters does more harm to her than anything else. Forget brushing, manicure and plunging cleavage Mariah. Next time, come over with a few musicians, a stool and a mic. Simplicity has often better taste. Source: Métro

| Mariah Carey at Bell center : the nice diva
The pop/RnB singer Mariah Carey visited Montréal Thurday night only for the second time in her career. 7.000 Montréal fans were there to show their support. The evening seemed to start really bad. An insipid open act, three guys who rapped stupid non sense and then a very long wait. The diva made her fans wait for 75 minutes and fans loudly expressed their impatience. Carey finally came on stage past 9:30 pm. Sitting on a swing, they lowered her to take place at the center of the stage decorated like a Barbie doll house. After some necessary vocalizing, she started the catchy Shake It Off that delighted the fans. She then sang Touch My Body and Fly Like A Bird to the applause of the fans. And suddenly, the mood changed completely. The voice is in shape (and what a shape), the singer interacted with the crowd, sincerely apologizing for being late. "Last night, I had to record a video for Simon Cowell' song to raise funds for Haiti. I went to bed in the wee hours and struggled out of bed today..." There was such an innocence, such generosity in that natural way to chatting with fans, that we forgave her everything: the delay, lack of energy, even the kitsh side of the whole thing, her too tight sequined dresses, the cold keyboards arrangements, the ugly scenery. We were there to see if she was still coherent and relevant, to see if she was still able to sing like she used to, to see if she would offer a true performance with many hits. In fact, we stayed 'cause the diva is really nice and warm. And the voice? Fortunately, the voice is
there. Mariah Carey is not a stage animal (note: that sounds weird
in English Of the fifteen songs, one unpublished and a remixed one to appear on Angels Advocate, a robust cover of Diana Ross' "Love Hangover" and her own hits, Angels Cry, Always Be My Baby, Honey, Obsessed, We Belong Together and a syrupy version of Hero for the encore. Entertaining. Far from being a great performance, but everyone will have the memory of a pleasant evening. Source: Cyberpresse

| Mariah mentions in Nick's interview with Entertainment
Weekly
Adding to his public profile, of course, is his marriage to Mariah Carey, whom Cannon calls an "angel". Says Carey, "He is probably the only person I know that matches me in drive and ambition." For years, Cannon would tell any interviewer who
asked that his celebrity crush was Mariah Carey (consider this yet another
example of speaking something into existence); he even presuaded Nickelodeon
to arrange for him to present an award to the multi-platinum singer at
the Teen Choice Awards in 2005. Then came a business meeting in 2008
at the Beverly Hills hotel. "I put on my good cologne," says Cannon,
who had been approached by Carey about directing her new video. "Did
some push-ups. Tried to get my grown-man look on." The ice
breaker came when Cannon said a prayer before the duo induldged in a plate
of french fries, leading to some good-natured teasing from Carey and a
discussion of spirituality. "You never know who's sincere and who's
not, and he probably thought the same about me," says Carey. "We
both pretty much proved it right there because I had my little electronic
Bible in my bag." Adds Cannon, "From that day on, we were inseparable."
On the home front, Cannon's five-year plan includes some "little Cannons," but both he and Carey know raising kids in the celebrity spotlight will be a challenge: "As much as there are private jets and champagne everywhere, I want them to understand that's not what's life is about." The Hollywood clan he'd like to emulate most may surprise you (or not, considering he used to date tabloid cover girl Kim): "I always admired the Kardashian family. They're a family that really loves each other: or even the Osbournes." As far as business goes, Cannon has typically lofty goals, but he's of course optimistic about the future: "I wanna be a billionaire in five years. It can happen. I'm speaking it into existance!"

| Mariah inspires Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige has no plans to ever leave the music business, but she tells The BoomBox there's another profession she wouldn't mind trying on as a full-time vocation. "To look at Mariah [Carey] and see what she did with that film, it's like, wow! She really did it because she went past the Mariah we all know -- with the hair and beautiful face. All of that Mariah stuff, it wasn't there. She got rid of herself! Wow, incredible. I know acting is something that I need to do. I don't care how old I get, I'm going to continue to pursue it because there's something in me that I've gotta get out! It needs to come out on screen. Everybody needs to see it coming out in another person, you know what I mean? Source: The BoomBox Posted on February 4 |

| Earring malfunction at the Tower Theatre
Mariah Carey had an earring malfunction before Monday's show at the Tower Theater, and her assistant reached out to the Four Seasons Hotel's concierge desk for help. Jeweler Jeff Kellmer was summoned and took the earring and its mate to his shop, where he fixed the hinge with a laser and performed some rhodium plating to make them sparkle again. When he returned with the earrings, he lent Carey's stylist and personal assistant a pair of pavé earrings and diamond bracelet from his inventory. Carey mixed and matched during the show's costume changes; she wore the repaired earrings as well as Kellmer's loaner. Kellmer kept an eye on the baubles from his newly acquired front-row seat.

Nick married Mariah in April 2008 and admits he struggles to cope with the strict rules imposed by his wife. Mariah keeps her home spotlessly clean, but Nick is more relaxed when it comes to housekeeping. “She hates when I'm messy when it has to do with
her nice stuff. Like, I can't throw my jacket on the Marilyn Monroe piano
- but I do,” he said. (eeeek Nick also revealed how he impressed Mariah on
their first meeting. The TV presenter made sure he was smelling good and
did a quick work out to ensure he was in top condition. “I wore my good
cologne. Did some push-ups. Tried to get my grown-man look on,” he added
to America’s Entertainment Weekly magazine.

| They can't let it go huh
I hesitated to post this, but after all a fan site is like a marriage, it's for the best and the worst (dunno if it makes sense in English)
The Razzie Awards did it again, not only thanks to them (and a lot of American people who didn't even saw the movie), the entire world made fun and still does of Mariah in Glitter. Bad producer, bad publicity, September 11, breakdown.... all this contributed to make fun of a person. As always, it's only happening to Mariah, nobody makes fun during so many years of all the other actors/actresses nominated or winners of a Razzy Award. They now found a new award, the Berry Worst of the decade, of course Mariah is nominated for her part in Glitter, but the competition will be really hard as Mariah has only 1 Razzy while J-Lo was nominated for 9 "achievements" and won 2 Razzies, and Madonna was nominated for 6 "achievements" and won 4 Razzies. Go J-Lo, go Madonna!!!!

| Courtney Love and Mariah Carey Almost Collaborated
on 'Nobody's Daughter'
In the chorus of 'Samantha,' the rocking first single off Hole's forthcoming 'Nobody's Daughter' album, the refrain goes "People like you f--- people like me." After writing the track, Courtney Love invited a few of her rocker friends, including Billy Corgan and Gerard Way, who unfortunately didn't check his voice mail, to "come scream-sing," as Love puts it. While her rocker friends didn't work out, Love found a willing participant when she went to see film director Brett Ratner. "I'm at his house and I sing the part, 'People like you f--- people like me,'" Love tells Spinner. "And this little voice goes, 'I'll sing it.' I'm like, 'Who's that?' The voice goes, 'It's Mariah.'" As in, Mariah Carey. Love says the encounter was as fun as fans might imagine. "Mariah's got a vocal coach with her, she's an industry unto herself, and we sat on Brett's couch and we watched on a screen these size five Mariah Carey videos he made," she says. "And it was hysterical. I never met Mariah for more than a minute in my life, but we sort of canceled each other out. We had nothing negative about each other to say. I'm not in her universe and she's not in mine." While the two got along fine, there were some moments where their personalities clashed. "When you go to Brett's house you always have to take a picture in the photo strip booth. She sat down next to me and she moved me over," Love says, laughing. "This has never happened in my entire life. There are a lot of alpha males, but there aren't a lot of alpha females and this woman, I'm not in one picture. She's like totally Diana Ross-ing me and Ratner's like, 'Mariah, move the f--- over so Courtney can be in the picture.'" Ultimately, Carey never actually recorded her vocal part. "I play the rough [cut] and she sings it," Love says of that evening. "I wish to god that there had been a person with a recorder in the room." That makes two of us.

Is it the result of hateful tweets or simply 'cause some artists and célébrities are too busy, but it's a fact that many don't tweet themselves anymore, nor update their blogs anymore either. It's good business for some in the recession time in the US. What's your job?
With this new way to interact with celebrities, Kinsey, 24, has found her job, even if when she's home she doesn't know exactly who she is anymore. She acts like and writes for celebrities on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter and is paid between $18 and $32 for a post on a blog and between $150 and $500 a month for tweets. One of her clients is Nick Cannon..... so, tired

Mariah Carey Releases Newly Remixed Album of Duets - ANGELS ADVOCATE - March 30th on Island Records TWO NEW DUET SINGLES IMPACTING AT RADIO FORMATS THIS WEEK: 'Angels Cry' featuring Ne-Yo - at Urban A/C 'Up Out My Face' featuring Nicki Minaj - at Urban and Rhythm New videos co-directed by Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey for both singles - premiering this week! 'ANGELS ADVOCATE' TOUR CONTINUES ACROSS U.S. & CANADA, THROUGH FEBRUARY 27th CLOSING DATE AT CAESARS PALACE IN LAS VEGAS International superstar Mariah Carey has completed her 13th studio album, ANGELS ADVOCATE, a brand new collection of newly remixed duets with some of her favorite artists, performing Mariah's favorite songs from her #1 R&B album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel (released September 2009). ANGELS ADVOCATE will be released on March 30th. In advance of the ANGELS ADVOCATE album release, two new Mariah Carey singles are on the way this week - "Angels Cry" featuring fellow Island Def Jam artist Ne-Yo is impacting at Urban A/C radio, and "Up Out My Face" featuring Nicki Minaj is impacting at Urban and Rhythm radio formats. New videos for both tracks were co-directed by Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey. Both videos will premiere at #1 search site VEVO.com on Thursday, January 28th, followed by Friday debuts on MTV and BET. The videos will be available at all platforms starting Monday, February 1st. Mariah is in the second week of her six week "Angels Advocate" Tour across North America - her first major tour since The "Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, The Hits, The Tour" of August-October 2006. The opening act on the "Angels Cry" Tour is RydazNrtist, a new R&B group signed to Nick Cannon's NCredible Entertainment. ANGELS ADVOCATE (and Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel) follow up Mariah's multi-platinum E=MC(2) (2008), and worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (2005). The Emancipation Of Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. Three years later, Mariah surpassed Elvis when "Touch My Body" (from E=MC(2)) became her 18th #1 Hot 100 hit. "Touch My Body" spent two weeks at the top, Mariah's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated by Billboard. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits. The success of E=MC(2) brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 175 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history.

| Mariah Carey, diva antics light up the Fox
Some artists work themselves into a frenzy in concert, giving everything to their performance until their sweaty, lifeless bodies are dragged off stage by members of their crew. Then there's Mariah Carey, who at one point during her concert Monday at the Fox performed while laying on a couch, after a pair of assistants dabbed the beads of sweat from her forehead. Look, Carey is a diva with a capital D, and her current Angels Advocate outing might as well be called the Diva Worship tour. Throughout the 95-minute concert Monday, Carey cheerfully played up her diva status, mock-barking orders at her stage crew, lounging on a couch during "Subtle Invitation" and sitting in a chair while wearing a robe during "My All." During "Obsessed," she was hoisted in the air and carried around by her dancers, a pampered princess sitting atop a world of her own making. Other times Carey was practically immobile, ever-so-gently swaying to the beat during "Shake It Off" and "Touch My Body," working hard to not work too hard. (Side note: The latter song's tease "if there's a camera up in here, than I best not catch this flick on YouTube" was turned into an actual security policy, as no cameras were allowed in the building and cell phones were not permitted during the performance.) It's obvious that no one is going to confuse Mariah Carey with Bruce Springsteen, but no one comes to a Mariah Carey concert expecting a lesson in stage dynamics. They come to bask in her presence and to hear the Voice, and Carey gave the crowd of 4,200 -- which included gospel singer Kierra Sheard and Detroit City Councilman Charles Pugh -- plenty of both on Monday. She was looser between songs than she was at her concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills in 2006, which was somewhat miraculously her only other area concert to-date. Early in the show Monday, she alluded to her tipsy appearance at the Palm Springs International Film Festival a few weeks ago: "This is water, in a water thing," she said as she held up a bottle of water to the crowd and took a sip. "Everybody can relax and take a breath." As for her voice, it was difficult to discern what was live and what was on track, though it's fair to say Carey was singing live a good portion of the show. She seemed to lean on a backing track for assistance, though it would take a vocal technician to determine what was live and what wasn't. For the most part she sounded strong and at times splendid (especially during "Fly Like a Bird"), though she struggled to hit her signature high notes in her nearly 20-year-old hit "Emotions." Carey was joined on stage by a four-piece band, three backup singers and up to 10 backup dancers, and the staging was simple and understated. Carey went through four sparkly dresses but left the crowd hanging while changing, filling the gaps with long instrumentals and at one point letting backup singer Trey Lorenz sing Michael Jackson's "Rock With You." Half of the set was culled from 2004's "The Emancipation of Mimi" and last year's under-performing "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel," with scattered stops at her other albums in between. Energy dipped during the lesser "Memoirs" cuts, as Carey plugged better versions to come on her upcoming remix album. The show's pacing was problematic, too; showstopper "Fly Like a Bird" came only four songs in, hitting an emotional peak that show-closer "Hero" couldn't match. Still, there was a on-the-fly quality to the show, as if Carey, who turns 40 in March, is embracing the "Imperfect" of her album title. Her "Adventures of Mimi" tour was a tightly packaged arena juggernaut and this is a much simpler show, as if she's loosening control and letting the chips fall where they may. This time around, the Diva is just being herself. Source: Detroit News (All rights reserved)

MC hits MSG
IN all my years of travelling to New York to work with some of the biggest music artists in the world, can you believe I had never seen a gig at the world famous venue Madison Square Garden (MSG)? I had been there for MTV-related stuff but never to see a gig. Well, to kick start 2010 that was all changed because Mariah was performing there. So on a cold and snowy day, we were picked up at 4pm to make our way to the venue in a giant SUV convoy. We were there early for sound check and the streets around the venue were pandemonium with police locking off roads in preparation for the thousands that were set to gather. MSG corridors were full of excited dancers, singers and celebs. As I walked through the backstage dressing room corridors and spotted framed superstar live photos on the walls, I was in awe at the venue’s history. It’s not called the world’s most famous arena for nothing! Mariah’s dressing room was large and airy but they’d made it seem lovely and cosy with white silk drapery and scented candles. Luckily, it was nice and warm as Mrs C was having her outfits fitted and resting her voice before she hit the stage. The legendary director/ choreographer Debbie Allen – who had choreographed the show – was busily getting everyone together; the fantastic vocalists – Maryann Tatum, Trey Lorenz and Sherry Tatum Frederick – were warming up their vocals; the dancers were stretching; techs were running around – there was a lot going on! I always stop to check out artist merchandise to see how creative it is, and whilst doing so, my eyes were drawn to a great keepsake – the official tour programme, priced at $25. I decided to buy two, and as I flicked through the pages, my eyes froze over a certain page where I was looking back at myself! There amongst Mrs C’s fun photos were two pictures of me, MC and Da Brat on one of our vacation escapades a few years ago! MC always looks amazing, Brat looked cute, and I was a freakin’ mess! I wasn’t mad though. I was honoured to be included in such a superstar’s programme, but I had to laugh at the fact that on that day, I had thrown on something at the last minute that didn’t match, AND my hair was an ocean-dried mess! I was rocking gold Adidas runners, denim shorts with the words “bad gal” on them, a gold American apparel swimsuit and a Rocawear red, black and white tracksuit top – what a mess! My maturity must have kicked in though, cos I soon realised I didn’t care how I looked in the picture. In fact, I even called my mum excitedly to tell her – she, however told me to focus on my own stuff and snapped me straight back to reality! Kicking off the show was Nick Cannon’s new male vocal group Rydaz N Rtists who were really good and the arena loved them. They’re signed to the music arm of Nick’s company, NCredible. I think they’ll go far. Next up was heartthrob Trey Songz, who had a lot of ladies hysterical. And then, it was time for the main star hit the stage. We returned to our backstage area, and I checked to see that Mrs C was ok and if she needed anything, but her assistant/friend Rachel had everything covered so we just chatted for a while. The arena was full of fans, friends, celebs and family. Mariah’s co star in Precious, and this week’s cover girl, Gabourey ‘Gabby’ Sidibe, was also in attendance with friends, and as the house lights went down, I thought my ear drums might actually burst with the screaming and roaring from the crowd. Mariah came on at about 10.30pm and for two solid hours, sang hit after hit. Even though I know MC has hits for days, it’s not until you see her killing it on stage that you realise just how many! She also went through a number of diva-esque outfits and at one point, she even summoned onstage her hair and make-up and assistant to “re-fluff” her. I love that; she’s fly and she knows it and she doesn’t give a damn what folks think! The fans were delirious with excitement when, ten seconds before midnight, Mariah led a countdown, which was followed by the excitement of pyro fireworks, confetti and balloons covering the whole stadium. Post-show, we hung out in the dressing room, toasting
the show with drinks, before hitting nightclub M2 where Nick was DJ-ing.
Joining us were Gabourey and new American internet celebrity Love B Scott,
who is the hottest new celebrity blogger Stateside. As we celebrated the
New Year, Mariah said to me: “I have another show in Atlantic City tomorrow.
Are you coming?” But I had made other plans already to go see the Alvin
Ailey Dance Troupe, as well the as the hit show Fela Kuti on Broadway.
But my life’s never simple and the next thing I knew, my whole diary was
remixed again with a crazy Thelma and Louise-style adventure. For all the
juice, catch me next week!

| Confirmed by The Sun
Superstar Mariah Carey joined the stellar line-up for The Sun's Haiti charity single Grammy award-winning singer Mariah, 39, agreed to take part in our cover version of REM's ballad Everybody Hurts in a project being masterminded by X Factor chief Simon Cowell. Disney star Miley Cyrus, 17, also signed up over the weekend as X Factor stars JLS and show judge Cheryl Cole kicked off recording in London. Cowell, 50, last night paid tribute to all the
artists taking part, saying: "We're getting there. We have had an incredible
amount of support.
"It says such a lot that everyone is working so hard to help Haiti. "This is something that really matters to us all and I'm so grateful for the support we are getting." A source close to Cowell added: "Mariah was brilliant,
she wanted to help in any way she could. Her name gives the single another
great boost.
Leona Lewis, 24, added her vocals in Los Angeles last night as Cowell faced a race against time to get the single out. Take That and Rod Stewart, 65, are also due in the LA studio today, Alexandra Burke, 21, is set to record in London and Susan Boyle, 48, will add her contribution in Scotland. James Morrison, 25, Mika, 26, and James Blunt, 36, are also among the stars taking part, while others are still trying to make arrangements. Top producer Steve Robson is putting the track together using new technology that means the artists do not have to be in the studio together. PM Gordon Brown has agreed to waive VAT on the single, and all proceeds will be split between The Sun's Helping Haiti fund and the official Disasters Emergency Committee appeal. Source: The

| Mariah Carey fans reflect on 20 years of hits,
staying power and 'Glitter'
For Rhiannon Stapleton, Kim Drucker, Robyn Fears, and Kara Smith, Tuesday night’s Mariah Carey concert at the Fox Theatre was a first time thing. “Believe it or not, none of us have ever seen her live,” explained Drucker at the pre-concert party for fans at Livingston across Peachtree Street from the Fox. Added Stapleton: “I’ll be honest, I did give up on her a little bit after [the singer’s ill-fated 2001 film “Glitter”] but we’re back now.” Fears, meanwhile, was hoping the pop diva would perform her 1997 hit “My All.” “It’s just so desperate,” Fears explained. “That’s probably why we all like it!” Perhaps the luckiest fan present inside the swanky hotel bar? Atlanta video producer Raphael Gentry, who literally walked into the reception to meet his friend Christopher “Cocktails” Cornell and immediately scored a pair of tickets to the show courtesy of Livingston and Q100. Holding his tickets aloft for us, Gentry explained: “I just love the woman. When she hits those high notes, oh man. And to be able to do that and look that sexy? It’s a gift. I used to think [Carey’s comic actor husband] Nick Cannon was cool. I don’t like him no more!” Concert attendee Philip Rafshoon says he admires the singer’s staying power. “After ‘Glitter,’ I thought she was over. It’s great to see her come back and do so well.” Alas, marketing the artist (whose debut album was issued 20 years ago this year) has been a challenge on this tour. Her latest album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel”
hasn’t impressed radio programmers. And by late Tuesday afternoon, approximately
a thousand tickets remained for her Fox show ( For fan Felix Castro, Jr., Carey’s 2009 critically acclaimed performance as a 1980s social worker in Oscar buzz worthy film “Precious” keeps her relevant. “I thought it was a really brave performance,” Castro, Jr. explained while sipping a Manhattan. “She just acted. It wasn’t glamorous. It was just real with no make up. You can’t do a role like that without being a little more weathered and wiser. Mariah has survived. And I wanted to see her before she went all Whitney [Houston] on us.” Source: Atlanta Magazine (All rights reserved)

| Take that Mister Seacrest!!!!!!
Did the Golden Globes Glitter?
And it was my girl Mariah Carey who provided the most viewing fun. As soon as she hove into sight, big grapefruit-sized bosoms bared, Ryan Seacrest remarked, "Oh, we’re just going to call you Miss Subtlety." Mariah didn’t think this was funny. Ryan kept trying to get her to talk about her celebrated appearance at the Palm Springs Film Festival – just how much had she had to drink? Mariah insisted it was just one extra glass of champagne and said people don’t understand the "silly humor" between her and "Precious" director Lee Daniels. Finally, the diva declared, "Let’s not talk about people who’ve had too much champagne, hmmm?" Listen, Mariah is entitled to move on even when the Ryan Seacrests of the world can’t seem to.

| Jermaine Dupri "Belongs"
Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together,” the second single from her 2005 comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi, and a two-time Grammy winner, was recently named the most popular song of the last decade, based on record sales, airplay and online streaming. The pop ballad was produced by Jermaine Dupri, who was brought in by IDJ’s L.A. Reid after the album was practically finished, to craft a few more songs, including “We Belong Together,” a hip-hop ballad that helped the album go on to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide. Dupri fills in HITS’ own last-minute addition, Roy Trakin, on the details. Did you feel any pressure when you were brought
aboard to work with Mariah?
She took more of a natural vocal approach.
Who had the idea for the lyrical references
to Bobby Womack and [L.A. Reid and Babyface band] The Deele?
Did you realize at first how popular it would
be?
It crossed over to every audience.
What are you working on now?

| Mariah Carey: Who are you calling a diva?
What with the album sales, the acting career and the inevitable launch of her own-brand perfume, Carey is now thought to be worth around $225m and is ranked as the sixth richest woman in entertainment by Forbes magazine. However ditzy Carey might appear, beneath it all beats the heart of a savvy businesswoman – it is hard not to conclude that her diva-ish antics are simply part of the package that her fans buy into. Part of me would have been disappointed if Carey hadn't made me wait for three hours, and she is astute enough to realise this. But in person she is far more considered, intelligent
and warm than her image would have you believe. As I leave, Carey is already
having her hair and make-up retouched by a bevy of helpers. The suite has
several doors and I am not sure which one leads out into the corridor.
No one tells me where to go because they are all too busy plugging in hair
curlers and locating drinking straws. It is Carey who spots my confusion
and opens one of the doors, ushering me outside with a kind smile. Mariah
Carey might not do stairs, but I can exclusively reveal that, yes, she
is capable of opening doors. Precious opens on 29 January. Carey's 12th
album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, is out now

| Did Mariah finally got her license for the
Rosé Angel Champagne?
Regular visitors of Heroes of Mariah will maybe remember I talked about it back in November 2009. As soon as I came back from London where Mariah and Alan Carr drank "Angel" champagne, where "Angel" was served in club Jalouse in London, where Mariah offered champagne for the party of the X-Factor winner and previously sent a bottle for Simon Cowell's birthday, I contacted the peeps of "Angel Champagne" to ask where and when Mariah's champagne would be available. At that moment, they told me Mariah's "Angel" wasn't released yet but would be soon. It seems after Mariah's tweet, it's the Rosé that the brand released for Mariah . 
Angel Champagne is the result of a deal between S. Zagni from Angel and L.A. Reid of IDJ, the brand already appeared in several artists vidéos - Fabolous' It’s My Time video

Mariah at last nights concert, review and
pictures
    
    
Click to enlarge Mariah Carey has been in the news lately due to erratic behavior at a pair of recent award shows, most notably a woozy acceptance speech when she was honored at the Palm Springs Film Festival January 5 for her acting turn in the film "Precious." She didn't make it easy to forget those images during her trip to the stage Friday night for the first of two nights at the Foxwoods Resort Casino's MGM Grand Theater, where she sounded comfortable easing through her songs and a touch loopy in between them. Sporting an enormously puffy dress, Carey descended from the rafters on a rope swing to flutter through "Butterfly," a seven-piece band adding cool dressing to its mellow flow. Carey's singing was mostly casual, building to snappy little bursts amid the puffy dance sway of "Shake it Off." Her voice is a remarkable instrument at its high end, but her songs were frequently undeserving of the unleashing she gave it. Her simmering trip through the mechanical R&B of "Touch My Body" was neither seductive nor enticing, and the only moments that mattered in the expansive "Fly Like a Bird" were the displays of power and sky-scraping pitch with which she dappled its latter portions. Her singing could nonetheless apply pyrotechnic enticement to an energetic reading of a stop sign, so Carey dolled up the shimmying dance wave of "It's Like That," snapping gamely at its otherwise unremarkable lyrics. With a troupe of as many as ten dancers circling her, she soared and sailed through a meshing of "Sweetest Hangover" and "Heartbreaker," clad in furry sleeves and one of the multiple abbreviated dresses she sported as the evening wore on. When she wasn't singing, Carey meandered between songs, complaining about the lack of fans onstage to blow hair off of her face, laughing at her own circuitous asides even when there wasn't a punch line, and coming off more flaky than fun. For people who love to watch a superstar fiddle incessantly with her hair (and call stylists onstage when she's tired of doing it herself), it was a treat. Despite her once-in-a-generation vocal tools, Carey left several numbers shapeless, among them an average take on "Angels Cry" and a reading of "The Impossible (Love Ya Like)" that, despite its swatches of rhythm, was more drowsy than hypnotic. Those moments made it all the more jarring ? in a good sense ? when she leapt into "Emotions," which stood out for its lively gait as Carey dressed it with a mix of sharp vocal jabs and almost spoken word delivery in some passages. Carey was almost on the way out when a door hit her in the backside, courtesy of her dancers emerging from one of the set's enormous risers to join her for the percolating, static " Obsessed." That moment somehow caught up to her on the next song, as she stopped "We Belong Together" midway through its first verse and demanded her band begin again. She peppered its flow comfortably to finish her set, and then returned for a laid-back massaging of "Hero" that brought the 90-minute show to an easygoing close. Source: Courant (All rights reserved)

| Mariah Carey Arrives Late, Sings Strong at
MGM Grand at Foxwoods
Going to see Mariah Carey in concert these days is a little like catching a wild amusement park ride. There’s a lot of fun and a lot of thrills but also some not-so-subliminal fear in thinking that the ride might go right off its tracks at any moment. The statuesque songstress with the five-octave range brought all those elements to her show before a full-house at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods on Friday. It was just a little more than a week since Carey grabbed all the wrong kind of headlines for her wacky acceptance speech at the Palm Springs Film Festival, which she later blamed on “splashes of champagne.” The video of the slurred speech instantly became a YouTube classic, so when the Long Island native finally took the MGM stage an hour and 35 minutes after the 8 p.m. show time on the ticket Friday, there was plenty of concern going ‘round right from the start. The anxious and frustrated crowd had been booing just a few minutes earlier and it didn’t help when an off-stage announcer said that Carey was running late due to the seemingly obligatory “accident on 95,” that seems to get brought up whenever a performer arrives late for a show in the area. Nevertheless, Carey did stage a pretty impressive if occasionally erratic 90-minute performance that was musically tight and well choreographed – even if the pacing was slightly marred by the soon-to-be-40-year-old singer’s own unpredictable nature. She definitely has a crazy side to her. One of the first things she said to the crowd was “Who’s thirsty and drinking champagne?” making obvious light of her earlier incident. She said she was going to stick to water all night, but by her seventh song, which she sang while lounging like a diva on a plush couch, she did indulge in a bit of champagne saying “See this is what happens. They force it down my throat.” Carey is in the very early stages of her “Angels Advocate” tour, her first extended road show in more than three years. She was ably backed by a four-piece band, three singers and numerous exceptional dancers, who often grabbed the attention when the singer slipped off stage for a half-dozen costume changes. Her dresses were all skin tight, typically sparkling and all designed to flaunt her abundant cleavage. After a brief introduction, the concert kicked off with the thumping dance track “Shake it Off,” the erotic “Touch My Body,” and one of her first vocal showcases of the evening, “Fly Like a Bird,” which peaked with some of her trademark sky-high upper octave notes at the end. Mid-set standouts included her early smash “Make it Happen,” before “Angels Cry,” the latter which featured two dancers spinning high above the singer’s head. In a set-up routine, she had a crew member come out and fix her hair, as Carey drew laughs when she said “I am a diva. A diva’s a good thing.” She didn’t totally stick to the script though. She seemed to be having problems with her in-ear monitors and was not pleased with some of the directives she was apparently receiving through them, including the set list. As the night progressed so did the pauses between songs and she blew the lyrics and had to re-start one of her biggest hits, “We Belong Together,” right after saying that Billboard magazine had crowned it the most popular song of the decade. Still with tracks such as “The Impossible” (husband Nick Cannon briefly came on-stage and gave her a long kiss after that one); a tasty mash-up of her own “HeartBreaker” with Diana Ross’ “Love Hangover;” Carey’s mega-hit “Emotions;” a fierce rendition of the Eminem-dissing “Obsessed;” and the encore of her classic “Hero,” it was undoubtedly a crowd-pleasing night. Hours earlier, the vocal trio RydazNRtist opened the night with a brief 15-minute set that was well received by the audience. Source: MassLive (All rights reserved)

| The Angels Advocate album in not pushed back!
I'm very surprised by the google alerts, buzz on blogs and among fans and of course haters' blogs making fun of Mariah, in fact the album is not delayed as I posted here 3 days ago what I received from a very very reliable source: " the February release date was never officially confirmed and the album is not on hold, it is coming out soon but the label hasn’t finalized the date yet but should be in March for sure" Posted on January 15 |

reply to the e-mails and pick the winners of the last contest at random.
I had a crazy day today.

| Tennessee DVD Review: Mariah Carey Is Vibrant
On Screen
A bible belt cross-country youthful journey of discovery in search of family reconciliation, Tennessee is emotionally well meaning enough. But the film more than misses the mark as a road movie whose unintended sense of cultural distance and mostly generic country characters with jarring cosmopolitan leanings, come off rather like big city tourism in out of the way places. Carter (Adam Rothenberg) is big brother and young surrogate dad to Ellis (Ethan Peck). High school football star Carter abruptly fled Tennessee and their physically and emotionally abusive father some years ago, with Carter in tow along with their mother, who has recently passed away. And Carter has been raising Ellis since then, in a trailer in the New Mexico wilderness. When Ellis is diagnosed with leukemia and Carter doesn't qualify as a potential life saving bone marrow donor, the younger sibling convinces his resistant brother to go look for their estranged father, who might provide the necessary match instead. Along the way they encounter Krystal (Mariah Carey), a sassy Texas truckstop waitress with dreams of becoming a country singer. And she joins up with them on a whim to go make a pitch in the Nashville music scene, while escaping abuse of her own from her domineering highway patrol spouse. Mariah Carey is more than just the big star in this small story. She's the warm, charismatic, and deliciously down home presence that spontaneously fills the screen with charm to spare, in this comparatively weak and maudlin story. Though it's unfortunate and rather lopsided, that the details of her own character lack the attention and depth lavished upon the male protagonists. In addition, what we have here is once again the black mammy syndrome, as Carey seems to be around mostly to tend to the physical and emotional needs of those perpetually moping males. She's even repeatedly fetching them food, long after Krystal has called it quits with waitressing. And in the brief interlude when she does get to grab some spotlight and show her far too professional musical skills as a supposed amateur on a stage in an unusually receptive redneck bar, Mariah through no fault of her own, feels as fish out of water forced as you can get. Tennessee has its moments of tenderly spun brotherly love. But all the secondary characters lack a sense of being fully realized, particularly the many abusive one-note males, seemingly on hand more to make a vague point about domestic violence not being cool, than dramatically resolving or explaining anything about that terrible trauma.

| George Clooney talks about Mariah
“Who is the best acceptance speech giver?” someone asked the Bagger on Monday night at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. It’s early yet, of course, but it seems as if
George Clooney is the “Avatar” of thank-yous. It’s hard to argue with his
significant appeal, especially when paired with his seemingly natural humility.
Even presenting an award to his “Fantastic Mr. Fox” director Wes Anderson
at the late-running dinner, the Cloons pretty much killed it. “I got the
chicken about five minutes ago so I am like Mariah Carey,” messed up “right
now,” he said, referring to Ms. Carey’s odd behavior recently at the Palm
Springs International Film Festival .

Action in Aspen
I hope the New Year is going well for you, readers. I had an amazing festive period. I began my adventure this year by flying to LA just before Christmas to join my Christmas family, the Carey-Cannons. We flew out of the hot LA weather from the private air field wearing t shirts. Then, four hours later, we pulled on our polo neck sweaters as we landed on the thick snowy runway of the Aspen air field, which is full of celeb and wealthy jet plane owners. (Trust me, Aspen’s not for us regular folks, unless we can hitch a ride with a mate like I did!) At one point, I went out to a coffee shop and, no word of a lie, I walked past Paris Hilton, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro and Jack Nicholson on my way there! As if that wasn’t enough, when I got to the coffee shop, guess who was standing in front of me? None other than actress Goldie flippin Hawn! She asked the server for a choc chic cookie then started talking to me, before realisng that I wasn’t her sister who had walked off for a minute. ‘‘Oh no,’’ I insisted to her. “Don’t apologise – I love chit-chatting to Hollywood legends!’’ After I had helped Mrs C purchase some of her gifts, we returned to the house where we played what was to be the first of many games of ‘Mafia’. Let me explain the game: A group of people are divided into two groups – ‘Townspeople’ and ‘Mafia’ – depending on which card they are dealt. No one is aware of each others’ status but the aim is to work out who the mafia are in order to execute them, whilst in turn, the mafia during the night bump off the townsfolk. The ever-festive Nick was his usual animated self and had us all involved, screaming and pleading our cases in minutes. On Christmas Eve, after skiing and snow-boarding we went sledging. Imagining myself in an old James Bond movie, I had visions of husky dogs pulling us through the snow. However, once on top of the mountain, it became clear that this was the kiddie activity that involved us sitting on a brightly coloured plastic vessel and hurling ourselves down the steep hill. Nick and Mariah’s friends Pastor Kase and Deric (DJ D Wrek from Wild n Out) began the races downhill, whilst I looked on like a scaredey cat. I finally convinced Deric to let me piggy back his sledge and so we started the two-on-two races against the Carey Cannons. A nearby gent offered to lend me his “extra fast sledge,” which had just been waxed to ensure ridiculous speed. I agreed, but instead of using it myself, I naughtily passed it to the Carey Cannons, thinking it would freak them out – it didn’t. They used it and they won. As soon as we got home, we changed into our festive red PJ’s and awaited the arrival of Santa, who of course, Mariah knows personally. The kids were all put to bed as we placed ourselves strategically behind curtains and sofas to film and capture the children’s faces as Mr Claus awoke them with his cries of “ho ho ho.” Once Santa had done his duties, we all dragged him into the living room to pose with us under the 20-foot high Christmas tree. I sat on his knee, as is traditional, and reassured him of my good behaviour the past 12 months. In return, he let us all ride his sleigh around the front garden and yes they were real reindeer! Before we went to our beds, Nick warned us with an evil twinkle in his eye that ‘Santa’ would be waking us at 6am for present opening. “No way,” I thought. Well, how wrong I was. Mr ‘Saint Nick’ (Nick dressed as Santa), stomped up and down the house in his big black Santa boots and huge pillow belly, ringing the bell from hell to wake us all up. After three attempts to ignore him, I dragged my lazy ass down to the Christmas tree where wrapping paper and screams of joy were flying. How could I not get into the Christmas spirit? As well as the traditional socks, scarves, gloves and toys being exchanged, there were also gifts with handles, heels, diamonds and one with wheels! That evening, we all put on our best frocks to sit down to Christmas dinner, which tasted mouth-wateringly good. Later, thoroughly exhausted, we hit the sack early as the next day Mrs C was taking her version of the bus – the jet – to Italy to pick up her special award for best supporting actress at the Capri film festival for her role in the movie Precious. MC collected her very appropriately shaped mermaid award (which is now sitting in her mermaid room) on the red carpet with a wall of paparazzi documenting her every move. After only 24 hours in Capri, we jetted to New York City, where a whole heap of new adventures awaited me! Source: Jamine for The
