Mariah Carey Gets In The Christmas Spirit

Expectant mom and singer Mariah Carey records her Christmas contribution video clip at Rockefeller Center in New York, NY on November 21, 2010.

Madonna, Beyonce Knowles and Mariah Carey are planning a Michael Jackson tribute album

Some of the worlds biggest music stars are ready to honor the late Michael Jackson by recording versions of his songs for a charity album.

Robbie Williams, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross have also been linked to the LP, as is the British schoolboy who was hand picked to sing at Micheal's memorial concert last month, Shaheen Jafargholi.

“The idea came from the memorial concert," a source said. "Many fans asked if cover versions from it would be released, and it seemed a wonderful idea. This covers album is sure to be a massive worldwide hit with fans and could raise a fortune for Michael’s favorite charities.”

The contributing stars will pick their favorite songs by the ‘King of Pop’ to cover. It is believed Mariah will record her version of ‘I’ll Be There’ from the memorial, while Shaheen will sing his version of ‘Who’s Loving You’. He has also reportedly been asked to record Michael’s early smash ‘Ben.'

Robbie is apparently going to sing ‘Man In The Mirror’, and other tracks expected to be on the album include ‘Rock With You’, ‘She’s Out Of My Life’ and ‘Bad.'

A Michael Jackson tribute concert is also being planned in London – where he had been due to play 50 shows starting this summer and running into 2010 – on the date of what would have been his 51st birthday, August 29.

Eminem Takes Mariah Carey And Nick Cannon Down

The battle between Eminem , Mariah Carey, and Nick Cannon continues. It first started where Eminem gave Mariah a shout out in "Bagpipes From Baghdad," Nick Cannon then responded with a blog saying Eminem was insulting “one of the worlds most influential artists,” and that "homeboy is still obsessed with my wife." Mariah also retaliated by having a person dressed in her video “Obsessed” that looked similar to Eminem.

It looks like there was nothing else for Eminem to do but to get back at the married couple. Before he starts rapping, Em tells Carey, "Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me. Now I'm pissed off."

He doesn't stop there. "You wanna hear something wick wack?/ I got the same exact [tattoo] that's on Nick's back," the Detroit MC says a few seconds into his rap.
"Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?/ Wow Mariah, didn't expect ya to go b---s out./ B---h, shut the f--- up before I put all those phone calls out/ You made to my house/ When you was wilding out/ Before Nick, when you was on my di--."

From there, he goes onto graphically describe what he says was his one sexual encounter with Carey and calls her a "liar" and many other fowl names, and threatens to reveal personal pictures and phone messages he has of the singer. Eminem then plays part that sounds like the diva Carey’s voice at the end of song: The unidentified woman refers to herself as "Mary Poppins."

Through out of the publicized dissing of the each other all three of them have denied any hard feelings. Cannon says the lyrics of songs can often be misinterperted and that they had no beef with the rapper. He also denied the resemblance of the man in Mariah’s video was intended to look like Eminem.

Do you believe it? How could all those words be misiterupted? Maybe they could have been in the beginning…maybe. But Eminems recent rap doesn’t look like anyone could take it but in one way! I wonder if this battle will last long or if they’ll just hold their tongues for now.

Mariah Carey shows her not so glamorous side

Mariah Carey is known for glamor and beauty, but she leaves her beauty behind in her new film, Precious. In the movie Carey plays a plain-Jane social worker. Precious is based on the book Push which tells the story of a young girl who is abused while growing up in Harlem. The film director, Lee Daniels, felt that choosing Carey for this part would be a very bold thing to do. "If she could dye her hair, put on a wig, take off the makeup, darken under the eyes, I believed she would begin to give me her soul. And she did," Daniels said.



Carey was not concerned about the look of her character in the movie and she said her friends and family loved her performance despite the way her character looks. "No one has said, 'Girl I can't believe you are there with those dark circles under your eyes and wearing a wig and looking nasty.' No one went that far," Carey said.

Nick Cannon Plans Eagle Surprise

Nick Cannon wants to give his wife Mariah Carey a "bald eagle".

The US rapper - who married the 'Touch My Body' singer last April - has revealed he is planning to give his wife a surprise gift for her 39th birthday on Friday (27.03.09).

But Mariah might be in for a shock, because as well being an endangered species, a "bald eagle" is also a slang term for someone with shaved pubic hair.

When asked what he was going to buy Mariah, Nick laughed: "I think I was going to get her a bald eagle or something. Yeah, they sell them bald eagles still right?"

Impressed by his own quip, Nick, 28, has named himself the "chairman of comedy".
He laughed: "Here's how we do it. I'm the chairman of comedy. Like any joke, I get money off of anybody telling jokes, from any joke ever told."

Nick is set to host the upcoming series of US TV show 'America's Got Talent'.

Mariah Carey Visits Fertility Clinic

Mariah Carey has been visiting a fertility clinic.

The 38-year-old singer and her husband Nick Cannon - who married last year following a whirlwind romance - were seen leaving a Beverly Hills' Southern California Reproductive Center last week, where they reportedly met with a prenatal specialist.

Nick and Mariah are trying anything and everything to conceive. After almost a year of trying to natural way, they visited a fertility clinic to help make their baby dream come true.
A source told gossip blogger Perez Hilton: "Nick and Mariah are trying anything and everything to conceive. After almost a year of trying to natural way, they visited a fertility clinic to help make their baby dream come true."

Mariah is said to be desperate to give birth before she turns 40 next March.

The renowned centre is one of the leading in vitro fertilisation (IVF) clinics in California.

Jennifer Lopez - who has one-year-old twins Max and Emme - is said to have been a previous patient.

The couple have made no secret of their desire to start a family, with Nick admitting he wants a large brood.

He said: "We'll multiply. That's what's got to happen."

Mariah has also revealed she is ready to become a mother, but finds the constant speculation about whether she is expecting tiresome.

She said: "I don't like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We'll see.

"I've changed my mind about becoming a mother because I'm with 'The One'. I think we would make good parents, and that we'd be able to figure out how to do it properly."

"My Mariah Ballad" Valentine's Day E-Card!

This is pretty cool! Send your Valentine a special greeting! Starting February 2, fans can go to www.MyMariahBallad.com to create a special Valentine’s Day card with a personal recorded message. Using one of Mariah’s hit ballads “Dreamlover,” “Vision of Love,” or “Hero” fans can then sing the ballad themselves or use the original version sung by Mariah. The ballad along with a personal message is then embedded into an animated e-card which can be sent virally to friends and family in time for Valentine’s Day.

Mariah Carey’s recent CD release The Ballads features 18 chart-topping hits including nine #1 fan favorites like: ‘Hero,’ ‘Vision Of Love,’ ‘One Sweet Day (Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men)’ and ‘Dreamlover.’

Mariah Carey has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. She made her recording debut in 1990 with Columbia records, becoming the first recording artist to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Mariah Carey: Second Chance

Even she has a successful career in selling records, Mariah Carey wants to prove everyone that she can do it so much better acting. Her leading role in semi-autobiographical "Glitter" was severely criticized by the specialists, earning only $5.3 million at global box offices.

In her new flick, "Push" which had its premiere this this past weekend at Sundance, Carey is playing a minor role this time as a welfare case worker.

The movie, based on a best-selling novel and directed by Lee Daniels who produced "Monster's Ball," reveals the story of a 16-year-old named "Precious" Jones who is twice impregnated by her father and is beaten by her mother.

Mrs. Weiss is sort of the eyes of the audience, the people who don't know anybody like this in their lives," Carey told reporters late Saturday.

"Yes it's her job ... but even someone who goes through that every day and sees these horrific things, she hears something that changes her," Carey said.

The 40 year-old singer is not all by herself, being helped by rocker Lenny Kravitz who's playing a nurse's aide who helps Precious deliver her second child. With this duo, if the movie won't be a box-office record breaker, at least the soundtracks will hit the charts.....

Mariah Carey's Obama anger

Mariah Carey was left "furious" after being told she wouldn't be sitting with US President Barack Obama's family during his inauguration.

The 'Touch My Body' singer - who performed at a ball to celebrate Obama being sworn in - was left aghast when she discovered she had to sit with other celebrities during Tuesday's (20.01.09) ceremony.

A source said: "Mariah was in the VIP area, where every celebrity, like Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen, was seated. But somehow she thought she'd be up with the Obama family. When she realised she wasn't, she bailed."

Rapper P. Diddy - who was so delighted to see Obama become America's first African-American President he blew kisses at him as he was being sworn in - was also said to be unhappy with the ceremony, because he wasn't asked to perform while rapper Jay-Z was.

However, a spokesman for Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has denied the allegations, saying: "It was one of the greatest moments of his life. Sean was invited to the inauguration and was seated third row, with Jay-Z, at the ceremony."

Mariah's publicist declined to comment.

Mariah Carey's carefree husband

Nick Cannon likes being known as "Mr. Carey".

The actor-and-rapper - who married Mariah Carey following a whirlwind romance last year - doesn't mind when people say his wife is more famous than him, claiming he just takes the teasing in his stride.

Asked how he feels when people say cruel things about his wife, Nick replied: "My heart goes out to my wife every time she has to hear something like that. I don't care about nothing, I'm just silly. I make fun of me all the time, I'm like, 'Call me Mr. Carey, who cares?' "

Nick added he feels "blessed" to be with Mariah.

He told US TV show 'Extra': "I'm blessed to have a partner that's truly one of those people that affect the world."

Mariah was equally as gushing about her husband, revealing the secret to the couple's happy relationship is that they are not afraid to tell each other exactly how they feel.

She said: "The secret to me is realising when you meet the right person and being brave enough to dive in and say this is the right person for me. We have fun like nobody's business."

Mariah Carey's great-aunt gift

Mariah Carey has bought her great-aunt a house.

The 'Touch My Body' singer decided to purchase the San Miguel, Venezuela, property after her relative fell behind on her rental payments.

The 67-year-old woman owed $1,500 in unpaid rent and so asked Mariah for help.

When the 38-year-old singer heard of her aunt's plight, she immediately paid off the debt and also bought her the two-bedroom house.

It has previously been claimed Mariah - who wed Nick Cannon in an intimate ceremony earlier this year after a whirlwind romance - is very careful with her money.

The singer reportedly called off her second wedding to Nick after the pair struggled to get it funded by a magazine deal.

She was keen to host a lavish service for friends and family who missed her original Bahamas ceremony, but when it became apparent no publications were interested in paying for the bash she decided to ditch her plans.

A source said at the time: "The small wedding in the Bahamas was nice, but it was not Mariah's style. However, she wasn't too keen to pay for a more lavish celebration herself."

Reports keep circulating that Mariah Carey is finally pregnant by child-husband Nick Cannon.

So, could it be true?
Well...

Carey was spotted yesterday during a trip to Mexico relaxing outside her hotel room. And, quite shockingly, the usually scantily-clad Mimi was almost FULLY covered up!

Also of interest, while Nick was ordering tropical frozen drinks, Mariah had no alcoholic beverages on hand.

Mariah insists her Diva days are over with and credits hubby for calming her down!

MARIAH CAREY has insisted her days of behaving like a diva are over – and credits hubby NICK CANNON with calming her down.

The couple - who tied the knot in April - worked together on Mariah’s video for her new single I Stay In Love, with Nick on directing duties.

And the sexy singer was amazed the shoot passed without incident and finished on schedule, thanks to Nick’s efficient approach.

In an interview with This Morning, Mariah said: “It’s the only video in the history of me making videos that I ended on time, actually early both days, and there was no drama, and everybody was saying what is this new thing?!

“So I guess this was definitely him. No more stories about divaness, divaland, divalicious.

“I enjoyed working with him, but I know it’s the first time so who knows.”

Mariah also divulged details of how the couple got together, revealing the spark between them was instantaneous.

She gushed: “We met each other in 2005 on a couple of award shows and we had that thing - you look at them and talk to them, and you are like what was that, that was interesting, but I liked it!”

And the star also said the pitter patter of tiny feet could soon be echoing around the couple’s vast LA abode.

When asked if babies are on the cards, Mariah coyly replied: “Maybe sometime soon. We will see.”

Catch the interview in full on This Morning tomorrow at 10.35am on ITV1.

Mariah Carey waited 2 months before being intimate with Nick Cannon

They started dating in February this year, but it was only after their secret wedding in the Bahamas in April that they had sex.

‘It’s not that we had no intimacy, we just didn’t have complete intimacy,’ she says. ‘It’s just me and my feelings.

‘We both have similar beliefs and I thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was, and it still is.’

Mariah, 38 – who met Nick, 28, on the set of her video Bye Bye – says part of her concern was that she nervous of getting involved after being hurt by first husband Tommy Mottola, 59.

‘I was hesitant for a long time to get into a relationship and lose control of my heart and myself as a human being,’ she tells the Daily Mirror.

‘But this was something bigger than both of us. There was no question of not being ready when I met Nick. It felt 100% right.

‘We really do feel we are soul mates. It all just clicked. It was pretty amazing.’
