It's not the first time the NY Post hints some problems
Def Jam honcho dodged the music
Def Jam CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid canceled a key speech at a top music event with his staff claiming his son was seriously ill -- but he really panicked over facing questions about his future with the label, sources tell Page Six. 

Hundreds of top music industry suits paid up to $1,000 each to hear Reid speak at the Billboard 2010 Music & Money Symposium at the St. Regis last week. 

But hours before the talk, delegates were told that his son was in the hospital with a head injury and needed surgery. 

"There was speculation among other music executives that this was not entirely the truth. Reid didn't want to answer questions about his future with Island Def Jam," a source said. "The move left organizers panicked with no speaker with just hours to go. Vevo CEO Rio Caraeff agreed to stand in." 

The Post's Peter Lauria reported last month that R&B impresario Reid is under pressure to break a cold streak following the promotion of Lucian Grainge to CEO of Universal Music Group, which owns Island Def Jam. Following disappointing sales from artists including Rihanna and Mariah Carey, Reid has been ordered to rein in his spending and bring in a hit. 

A friend of the dapper Reid -- one of the most powerful men in the US music business -- told us, "L.A. had to cancel because he was called away on family business, not because his son was ill. That was just a story that went around. He isn't afraid to answer questions about his future with the label. He is about to sign J.Lo [Jennifer Lopez] and isn't going anywhere." 

A rep for Island Def Jam said, "It was unfortunate, but he was called out of town on personal business and hopes to be able to participate in a future symposium." Billboard declined to comment.

Mariah Carey Wants a Piece of Woody Allen 
Before casting his next film, Woody Allen may want to check out Precious. (But not Glitter!)

Why?

Mariah Carey tells me that the legendary filmmaker is her dream director.

"I've never met him, but Bullets Over Broadway is one of my favorite movies ever," Carey told me at the Oscars. "I can quote every word. I think it's amazing."

Sounds like Carey has learned a lesson or two from her glittery flop. "I'm going to try to be careful about what I do," she said. "You've got to work with people who bring you to another level, and you have to surround yourself with people you can fully give yourself to."

Mariah ex aequo with Beyoncé for airplay record in Brazil
Mariah's "I want To know What Love Is" is now ex aequo with Beyoncé's "Halo" for the airplay record in Brazil.  Thanks to the soap opera "Viver a Vida" where Mariah's I Want To Know What Love Is is played daily (and radios playing the soap opera theme), the song managed to stay 20 weeks at #1 in the Brazilian airplay chart. One more week and Mariah will hold the record, no doubt it will happen!!!!!!!

"'I'd eat your mint but whatever ..." 

As she was interviewed on the red carpet at the Academy Awards,  Mariah didn't wanted to talk with a mint in her mouth, so she took it out and asked Nick to hold it, of course she was not gonna throw it on the carpet.
Nick: 'Do I have to hold the mint?' 
Mariah: 'I'd eat your mint but whatever ...'
Nick then took the mint and held it up to the camera, joking: 'This is a normal husband and wife conversation.'

Video: Mariah and Nick Talk Fashion On Oscar Red Carpet
Click here to watch the video
For her role as social worker Miss Weiss in the Academy Award-nominated film "Precious," Mariah Carey underwent a drastic make-under, sporting a mustache, mousey tresses and dowdy clothes that left the otherwise-glamorous singer nearly unrecognizable. 

But, as any red-carpet-watcher would expect, Carey was nothing short of stunning when MTV News caught up with her and husband Nick Cannon at the Academy Awards, where the two joked about getting dressed for the big night. 

"Of course, she tells me what she's going to wear, and I go pull something out of the laundry hamper and iron it and put it on," Cannon joked. "But she's fabulous." 

"He doesn't hardly iron a thing," Carey laughed. 

"Yeah, I don't know how to iron," Cannon admitted. "I'm surprised this isn't wrinkled now." 

Carey's purple gown clearly didn't come out of a dirty-clothes hamper, but instead of trying on a slew of dresses from different designers, Carey streamlined her wardrobe-selection process by working directly with Valentino. 

"We worked with them and did a lot of different sketches and stuff. We just thought it would be a nice moment, a leg moment for a different thing," Carey said, good-naturedly referencing her frequently exposed décolletage. 

"What if I had my leg out?" Nick asked. 

"You could start a new trend," Carey said. 

"What if I had a split from the top of my pants?" 

"You do you, man," she said. "That's why I love you

Awwww, Mariah lost...... and we are happy! 
Remember, Mariah was nominated for worst actress of the decade by the Razzies along with Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.  For once we are happy Mariah lost, the Razzie award for worst actress of the decade went to.....  Paris Hilton!

Funny Sandra Bullock picked up her 2 Razzies for worst actress and worst screen couple in "All About Steve" and came on stage calling the honor an "extraordinary award" as she jokingly toted a wheelbarrow of "All About Steve" DVDs onstage, saying she would give a copy to every person in the Razzie audience   Wel done, Sandra!

'Precious' tops Spirit Awards
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" proved an emotional favorite at the 25th Film Independent Spirit Awards, where it took the top prize as best feature Friday night. The gritty drama about cycles of abuse released by Lionsgate also earned trophies for director Lee Daniels, best female lead Gabourey Sidibe, best supporting actress Mo'Nique and Geoffrey Fletcher, who took the prize for best first screenplay.
The determinedly iconoclastic ceremony took something of an odd turn as Ben Stiller read off the names of the best picture nominees while a trio that he described as late night porn stars gyrated to his stage left. But they were quickly forgotten as the victorious "Precious" crew stormed the stage.

Daniels turned the microphone over to his fellow producers Sarah Siegel-Magness and Gary Magness, and Siegel-Magness said, "Thanks so much for allowing two white people from Colorado to enter your world." Speaking for the whole cast and crew, she added, "we together have made an amazing film that will be our children's legacy."

Just moments before, Daniels accepted his directing prize, at first joking, "Kathryn Bigelow's not here tonight, I am." With a shout-out to Film Independent executive director Dawn Hudson, he related how, while serving on one of the Spirit juries last year, he'd duck into the bathroom, where he was editing "Precious" on his computer. As he offered emotional testatments to each member of his cast, at one point, he locked eyes with Mo'Nique and almost couldn't continue.

An elated Sidibe virtually danced to the stage. Recalling how as a schoolgirl she saved up her allowance to see "Welcome to the Dollhouse," she recalled "that's the fist film I saw where I thought I could do that, so perhaps that's where my independent spirit was born." Thanking her fellow actors for all their guidance, she added, "I showed up not knowing anything. I still hardly know anything."

Mo'Nique, who's already had plenty of practice at the podium, still managed to be spontaneous as she accepted the award for best supporting female for her ferociously abusive mother in "Precious." "Wow, I'm tickled," she smiled before thanking her director Lee Daniels and executive producer Lisa Cortes, and saying of her husband, "thank you for showing me what an independent spirit surely is."

Oscar Week: Five things you didn't know about 'Precious'
A week long series in which we uncover some facts about this year's Oscar nominated films that you (probably) didn't know.

1. Helen Mirren was originally supposed to take the role of the social worker played by five-octave-spanning diva Mariah Carey. As director Lee Daniels told Essence, the much-decorated British thespian dropped out at the last minute: 
"Helen Mirren fell out--she called me up and said that she had a paying job. I got a phone call like three hours later from Mariah asking me to come over to play. I said, 'No, I'm working.' I told her what I was working on and she was like I know that book. And, then I called Helen back and was like, 'What do you think of Mariah playing this role, a social worker.' She said it was genius. She said you know "If I do it Lee, it's expected but if Mariah does it, it's really unexpected. "

Dame Helen may now be cursing her decision — shockingly to everyone who's seen Glitter, Mariah Carey's acting is earning some of the best reviews of her life. 

2. Impress your friends at the Oscar party with the correct pronunciation of the young star's name, Gabourey Sidibe. Inherited from her Senegalese father, it's pronounced SIH-deh-bay. And if you want to be one of those annoying people who's all "I'm an entertainment insider" and calls Sandra Bullock "Sandy" and Martin Scorsese "Marty," you can make Gabourey "Gabby."  Although you may want to watch what you say to Gabby anyway. One of her most-excellent quotes from a profile in New York:
“They try to paint the picture that I was this downtrodden, ugly girl who was unpopular in school and in life, and then I got this role and now I’m awesome. But the truth is that I’ve been awesome, and then I got this role.”

3.  Mariah Carey isn't the only non-conventional casting, but her glammed-down presence has still managed to overshadow Lenny Kravitz, who plays a handsome nurse. Daniels told Rolling Stone: 
“From my first film, Monster’s Ball, with Puffy and Mos Def to Macy Gray in Shadowboxer, Eve in The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon, a musician has been in every film I’ve done. I love musicians. I’m going to do a musical next year [with Kravitz]. I’m not allowed to talk about it.”

4. Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood cover was widely criticized for being very white, very young, and, frankly, kind of creepy (ok, that last bit may just be me).  Along with Avatar/Star Trek sylph Zoë Saldaña, Sidibe was one of the less-snowy-hued actresses many felt should have been on the cover, instead of just inside.  But Sidibe isn't sweating it, she tells OK!:
“Was I satisfied? Yeah, well… I mean, I come from a world where I’m not on covers and I’m not in magazines at all,” she said. “And so I was happy to be in the magazine. Gabourey continued that if she was chosen for the cover, which included up-and-coming young stars Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Abbie Cornish, Amanda Seyfried and Anna Kendrick, she would have wondered whether she fit in.

5. The movie has inspired controversy on everything from its alleged status as "poverty porn" to Sidibe's weight to the title (the New Yorker's Anthony Lane called it "preposterous") to Mo'Nique's campaign (or lack thereof) for an Oscar. Is Mo'Nique's strategy a real disdain for the star-making machine, or a cunning way to get even more attention? Whatever it is, it's made a lot of people mad, including this guy. What it's not? the Blind Side. Some have called it that movie's "reverse."

Billboard update
ABOUT 'FACE': Mariah Carey begins at the Hot 100's anchor spot, as "Up Out My Face," featuring Nicki Minaj, arrives at No. 100. Carey has now debuted at either the chart's first or last position five times, making three bows at No. 1 ("Fantasy," "One Sweet Day" and "Honey") and two at No. 100, where "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" opened in 2008. (Fittingly, Carey's contribution to the "2010 AT&T Team USA Soundtrack" is a new song entitled "100%").

"Up Out My Face" marks Carey's 42nd Hot 100 charted entry, lifting her past Barbra Streisand into a solo share of sixth place for most Hot 100 hits among women in the chart's archives.

Here is a look at the solo female artists who have made the most visits to the Hot 100, followed by the dates of their first charted songs:
73, Aretha Franklin (March 4, 1961)
56, Dionne Warwick (Dec. 8, 1962)
55, Madonna (Oct. 29, 1983)
53, Connie Francis (Dec. 2, 1957)

Mariah finally making her chidren's book project a reality?
According to Nick, Mariah and him are developping a lot of stuffs together, mostly for MTV and chidren's books.
Will Mariah's project to write her book finally become reality?  You probably remember that in 2004, Mariah had planned a serie of illustrated children's books which would focus on a biracial orphan girl who goes on a journey of self-discovery, navigating difficulties and misunderstandings, making the world a better place.

Second concert in Chicago
For this second concert in Chicago on Valentines Day, many fans were disappointed, they were of course happy to see Mariah perform but they all (almost all) complain about a too short setlist and were really surprised Mariah left with no goodbye or encore.
They noticed the security was really tough/rude, not even allowing people to check their cellphones and of course no pictures or filming allowed, some people tried anyway and were escorted outside.

However, everyone, fans and other people, praise Mariah's voice!!!

New Heroes of Mariah contest: Win Tennessee DVDs
Tennessee is a really beautiful movie, very well directed by Aaron Woodley.  The colors are warm, sensitive dialogues, Mariah is really great and to me it's her best acting as of now. Ethan Peck (grandson of the legendary Gregory Peck) is also really great.

Carter (Adam Rothenberg) and his younger brother Ellis (Ethan Peck) embark on a journey from New Mexico to Tennessee to find their estranged father who's the only one who can save Ellis diagnosed with leukemia, by a bone marrow transplant. During the travel they meet Krystal (Mariah) who wants to be a country singer and tries to escape from an abusive husband. The end of the movie is sad but not what we expect.

To watch and watch again!

For this contest:
- You need to love Mariah as an actress
- You are not an impatient person who illegally watched the movie on the internet
- You are able to watch Region 1 DVD's 
- You need to understand English
- Europeans only (sorry guys)
- You need to vote at least 5 times for the106 & Park countdown on BET.com
- Send me an e-mail once a day to tell you voted (I trust you)
At the end of the week, 1 DVD will be given away, the winner will be picked at random.  Other DVDs will be given away in the coming weeks.
A big thanks to Vivendi Entertainment for the DVDs

No dancing banana (at the moment)
It seems the dancing banana won't appear anytime soon................ 
With the concerts not selling that well in the US and fans/people bitching, it's no surprise. Mariah girl, you should have toured internationally first 
Mariah herself said several times she will tour in the UK and several medias reported a Tour, so, let's hope something happens for international fans later this year.

The singer also helped Cannon write songs for the teen trio in the film, but didn't want a part in the project, which debuts in America on 21 February (10).
