I already receided a few e-mails about it and I know there's a lot of speculation going on about Nick's t-shirt.  For your information, Nick (among a lot of celebrities, remember we also saw Da Brat with such a shirt) supports and promotes the "Stop Hating" campaign.  The campaign is meant to try to stop hating on others in the steps and spirit of Martin Luther King. All infos can be found at the following link. where you can watch Nick spreading his message.

Mariah Carey and Nick: Dinner Date
They’re still very much in the honeymoon phase of their fledgling marriage, and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon look less like two superstars, and more like two teenagers in love.
The newlyweds were spotted doting on one another during a romantic dinner date at Malibu, California hotspot Nobu restaurant as the paparazzi flooded the area with flashbulbs.
And the “Always Be My Baby” songstress looked absolutely gorgeous in a white cleavage-baring dress with matching cardigan sweater, while her hubby sported a “Stop Hating” t-shirt with jeans and a pair of Air Jordans.

Bye Bye Little princess
I usually don't feel like posting these kind of infos, 'cause it's like invading the privacy and the pain of a family, but ......

"Angela said: “She fought and fought and fought.” 

And she told the News of her heartwrenching last moments - and how her little Lauren had opened her eyes for the last time just as a relative’s mobile phone rang, playing the Mariah Carey song Bye Bye. 

Angela said: “She’d had that much sedation it would have been almost impossible for her to open her eyes, but she opened them to this song and looked up - and it was as though she was looking for me or her dad. 

“I was upstairs at the time - there were about 18 to 20 family members with Lauren - and they came to fetch me, and I ran as quickly as I could, and I held her in my arms as she passed away. She’d waited for me to take her last breath. She wouldn’t go without me.”

Mariah and Nick at Disney World

Mariah and Nick: In Love at Disney World
How did newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon cap off two romantic weeks together in the Bahamas? They went to Disney World, of course!

The famous lovebirds spent Tuesday enjoying the Florida theme parks' wild rides, including the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, the famous indoor coaster Space Mountain (Nick's favorite ride), and the stomach-plunging Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Mariah's favorite.)

They also met up with the another power couple -- the biggest in all of Disney World -- Mickey and Miney Mouse! The dynamic duos mugged for photos at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and Mariah really got into the spirit of things by wearing "Tinker Bell" earrings and a designer t-shirt depicting Mickey and Miney sharing a smooch.

She and Nick planned to top off their fun by taking in the "Wishes" fireworks show set to the backdrop of the Magic Kingdom's iconic Cinderella Caste.

The remix contest, awesome promotion but.....
Last week, I made a big hype among the Belgian DJs and they were kinda curious and some were even excited, however today some of them e-mailed me and some others told me by chat, they weren't allowed to enter as they were Belgian residents.  I checked, indeed, it's true.  It's now spreading from DJ to DJ and it's the same for a few other European countries (among others), note that Sweden which was one of the first countries to spread the info, is among the excluded countries......
Dayum!!!!
ELIGIBILITY: The “Mariah Remix” Contest (“Contest”) is operated and hosted by Indaba Media, LLC (“Operator”) on the Indaba Music web site, www.indabamusic.com (“Website”) and is open to individuals who are 18 years of age or older at the time of entry (excluding residents of Belgium, Burma, Cuba, Denmark, Hong Kong, Iran, Libya, Malaysia, The Netherlands, North Korea, Norway, Portugal, Sudan, Sweden, Quebec).

No need to say our planned protest action in front of a Belgian radio is scrapped, how can we protest they didn't play a lot the new Mariah tracks if the DJs are excluded from a competition , ok it's not funny.... let's just hope the DJs don't boycott this one in the excluded countries!!!!!  Shake it off mates, Mariah is not the one who makes the rules!!!!  Do your remix for the fun and play it on your shows

Mariah set to perform at the Teen Choice Awards
Pop Icon Mariah Carey to perform at "Teen Choice 2008", Monday, August 4, on FOX
Sophia Bush, Josh Holloway, Ryan Sheckler and Steve Carell to Appear 

Multi-platinum artist Mariah Carey is set to perform her new single "I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time" at TEEN CHOICE 2008. Hosted by Miley Cyrus, TEEN CHOICE celebrates the hottest teen icons in film, television, music, sports and fashion. The coolest stars will receive coveted Teen Choice surfboard awards in categories such as Choice Male Hottie and Choice Hook-Up when TEEN CHOICE 2008 airs Monday, Aug. 4 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Fans ages 13-19 can vote once each day for their favorite TEEN CHOICE 2008 nominees at www.TeenChoiceAwards.com. 

Additionally, Sophia Bush, Josh Holloway, Ryan Sheckler and Steve Carell will join previously announced participants Chris Brown, Scarlett Johansson, Zac Efron, Pink, Jaime Pressly, Danica Patrick, Selena Gomez, JoJo, Minka Kelly, Jesse McCartney, Chad Michael Murray, Chace Crawford, Kristen Bell, Drake Bell, Mischa Barton, Brittany Snow and Hayden Panettiere. Additional performers and presenters to be announced. 

With her unique talent and signature vocal abilities, Mariah Carey commanded the world's attention when she made her musical debut. Since then, Carey has emerged as one of the most popular and widely acclaimed talents in music. As a singer and songwriter, Carey has been recognized with the most prestigious accolades in the industry including two Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, Billboard's "Artist of the Decade" Award and the World Music Award for "World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium." As the best-selling female performer of all time, Mariah Carey has continuously raised the bar and set the standard of excellence within the music industry. 

Throughout her career, Carey has smashed recording industry records, and she recently reached another historic career achievement. "Touch My Body," the lead single from her album, E=MC, became her 18th No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. As a result, she has surpassed one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard history: Elvis Presley's 17 No. 1 singles. "Touch My Body" spent two weeks at the top of the charts and marked Mariah's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at No. 1. This tied Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at No. 1 (as calculated in Billboard). Additionally, 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 No. 1 hits. 

TEEN CHOICE 2008 is executive-produced by Bob Bain ("Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards") and Michael Burg. Paul Flattery serves as producer, Kelly Brock is co-producer and Greg Sills serves as supervising producer.

You're not just a humble girl from Jersey. Who gets name-checked in a Mariah Carey song?
Isn't that wonderful? Mariah, ironically, during the promoting of this album, never came by for an interview. I will hunt her down! Eventually, Mimi and I will meet up. . . . And when we meet up, it'll be delightful conversation.

Mariah Carey single at centre of online contest
Professionals and amateurs alike will have the chance to remix the third single from Mariah Carey's platinum-plus album "E=MC2" via a contest hosted on a startup social network Web site for musicians, Billboard has learned.

Starting July 15, the complete stems of "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time," from Carey's Island release, will be made available to the members of Indaba Music, an online community for aspiring and established producers and artists.

"Mariah is the queen of the remix," manager Mark Sudack says, citing the pop star's work with dance producers like David Morales -- for whom she resang the vocals of 1993's "Dreamlover" -- and Junior Vasquez, as well as hip-hop greats like Sean "Diddy" Combs, DJ Clue, Ol' Dirty Bastard and the Lox. "This contest is a way for her to continue being a pioneer in the remix world, potentially finding a new sound, a new power, a new energy in the online space, as opposed to just the go-to producers of the moment."

The contest involves elements of fan voting, user-generated content and social networking. Entrants must join Indaba by creating a profile and can then download the song stems, work on their mix and submit it via the site by August 26. The Indaba community will pick its 10 favorite mixes via online voting. Three judges -- including Sudack, who co-executive-produced "E=MC2" -- will then select the winner. The producer of the winning mix will receive $5,000 (2,500 pounds), be designated as Carey's No. 1 MySpace friend for four weeks and possibly have his or her work released.

The contest is more than just a unique way to promote the single, according to Sudack. "It's a marketing tool as much as it is a contest," he says. "But nowadays all you need is a laptop and a drum machine, and you have all the equipment that you need to go and make something that's hot and sounds special. There's so much potential talent out there that's untapped. You could have the next Jermaine Dupri sitting in a room somewhere, and he's got all the talent and all this genius with just no options to connect the dots."

Since ceasing promotion in the U.S. of her much anticipated studio album, E=MC2, and avoiding public appearances after her marriage to comedian Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey is making her television debut on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. The show will feature a live mini-concert where she will no doubtedly perform her current top 3 singles, "Touch My Body," "Bye Bye," and "I'll Be Loving You Long Time." The big question now is whether or not this legendary artist will also be giving an interview to address her new married life and rumors of trouble in paradise. The show will take place July 31, 2008 in Hollywood, CA.

Rarely before seen moments from key Prince's Trust events will become available
BBC Motion Gallery, the clip sales arm of BBC Worldwide, has signed a deal with the video archive of youth charity The Prince's Trust.

The deal means BBC Motion Gallery will be able to license clip content from Prince's Trust events such as Party in the Park and Fashion Rocks.

The deal includes rarely before seen moments from key Prince's Trust events, including performances by Elton John, Mariah Carey and Jay-Z - and an appearance by Nelson Mandela.

Paul Maidment, business development director at BBC Motion Gallery, said, "This is a great opportunity for us to offer our clients some really powerful clip content, but it's also a great way for the Trust itself to generate some additional revenues to help fund its huge range of charitable projects."

Paul Brown, director of marketing and communications at Prince's Trust, said, "Our previous events have featured performances and appearances that you'll never see anywhere else and that's a unique commercial opportunity."

Mariah strips off for hot new vid 
Mariah Carey strips off in her new video - quashing fears that marriage would spell the end of her legendary flesh-flashing displays. 
Sexy Mariah is on mouth-watering form writhing about seductively throughout the promo for her latest single I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time. 
Mariah - wearing a variety of skimpy bikinis - has wasted no time in getting half-naked for her male fans after her April wedding to Nick Cannon. 
And if she carries on churning out three-and-a-half-minute visual feasts like this, long may that continue...

"I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time": "me so horny" line from Full Metal Jacket

I didn't notice it until Dave Maher from Pitchfork pointed it out in his lil' video review:
"Video: Mariah Carey [ft. T.I.]: "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time"
In which Mariah Carey rides a dolphin and looks good doing it. The song's laidback beat, syncopated piano, occasional ascending strings, and pleasant T.I. verse make "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" a pretty perfect roller rink jam, and that's not even mentioning the fact that Carey hilariously makes a catchy chorus out of a reference to the "me so horny" line from Full Metal Jacket. At the very least, it's a nice breather in between repeat listens of "Love in This Club".
 

"Me so horny. Me love you long time"
How interesting is that, "Me So Horny" is a rap song from  2 Live Crew, the chorus of the song was sampled from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and
reached #1 on the rap charts and #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989.  It got no airplay due to the explicit lyrics.
What's interesting is that the group was created by DJ Mr. Mixx aka DMX and was later joined by Aldrin Davis which is no other than DJ Toomp, which we all know produced "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time".......

FMQB Reviews 'I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time'
Summertime is here and MC is heating things up again with her third single from E=MC². The tempo-driven "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" was a track that we first picked when we heard the album and it's even better now with the addition of a new re-mix featuring Hip-Hop star T.I. It's a total "groove record" whose retro feel is a breath of fresh air for a format that often puts more emphasis on beats and not necessarily melody. This MC track has both and is sure to connect with MC's core fans and beyond. BET ON IT!

Grammys midway: Mariah's year?
Mariah Carey, "E=MC2."  The pop diva's follow-up to the Grammy-adored "Emancipation of Mimi." 

Grammy possibilities:  Carey's "Mimi" marked a huge comeback for the artist, a much-needed return to form after the commercial/critical disappointments that were "Glitter" and "Charmbracelet."  Recording Academy voters were apparently delighted that the megastar rebounded, and responded by awarding Carey 8 Grammy nominations, including album of the year.  "E=MC2" closely follows the "Mimi" template, and at times feels like a track-by-track response (substitute "It's Like That" for "Migrate"), but audiences don't seem to mind. The album is still in the top 25 on U.S. pop charts two months after its release, and the album has already spawned two hit singles in "Touch My Body" and "Bye Bye."  Carey will undoubtedly be awarded with a bevy of Grammy nominations, but don't bet on "E=MC2" scoring as many as "Mimi," and it likely won't be a favorite for an album of the year nod.  It too closely sticks to the "Mimi" template.

Grammy deserving:  Does it really matter?  One of the best-selling artists of all time, Carey is more than critic-proof, and "E=MC2" likely didn't do anything to change anyone's mind about the singer. It's finely-produced dance-pop crafted by an assortment of the industry's highest-paid producers, and the strongest tracks are worthy representations of mainstream trends.  But as a whole, "E=MC2" is responding to pop fashions rather than defining them.

And the Trash Award goes to...

Any of you who trash Mariah, "fans" or media, the last days were great huh!!!!
Our girl gave us a new video a few days ago, but still, some are not pleased, always complaining, what more can she do to please some of her "fans", I really don't know and probably neither does she. Nobody is forcing you to like the new video, but terms that are used are sometimes worse than the ones used by haters.  Too many little Tommy's are running around!!!
Your only task is supporting her and the music she's offering us, which obviously a lot of you don't (look at Bye Bye). 
Mariah gave us an awesome album and worked as hell, no?  you say no? Look....
