Now Timberlake Wants To Release 'Yours' Duet With Carey 
With Mariah Carey's smash success in 2005, those to shied away from her during her post-'Glitter' turmoil are getting payback, including Justin Timberlake. The *NSYNC star was too busy to release their duet 'Yours' as a single on the 'Charmbracelet' album in 2003 when things were still tough going for Mariah, but now he's itching to ride Carey's current success. "Mariah's time has now come and he's the one begging," an insider said.

And the press says Mariah is capricious .... Read this guys  (no offense to the Madonna fans)
Madonna refused to use the provided toilet during her appearance on the German show 'Wetten, dass..'. Producers of the program used a crane to deliver the Material Girl's rented 18 square meter luxury toilet into the grounds. The first-class facility, also rented in the past by the Pope, features two wash basins with halogen lighting, two showers and a separate toilet room and costs $6,000 to rent.

Warning!!!
If you bought or plan to buy the Merry Christmas re-issue, you need to be careful if you plan to play it in your PC .  Please try to follow the news, as Sony BMG used a new way to fight against piracy by adding a spyware to their cds.  This software installs a kind of Trojan to spy what you do with your cd, copying, sharing, etc... Unfortunately, it turned out as a bad idea and a bad technology as it caused damages to several PCs accross the world. 
The software has been included on a limited number of Sony BMG cds but the company was not able at the moment to identify which cds contain it.  Sony BMG regrets the damages caused.
You probably all know by now I'm totally against piracy and sharing of commercial tracks, but this goes way too far....

Check messages from Mariah
Mariah Carey has sent secret messages to fans in the video for new single Don't Forget About Us.
The sexy promo features the diva frolicking on a football pitch, while behind her is a wall covered with graffiti.
The bright markings on the wall are in fact messages from Mariah. One is a thank you to the fans who set up the website devoted to her dog, Jack.
Another is the number 17, which refers to the fact that, if this single tops the American charts, it will be Mariah's 17th No. 1.
There are five messages in total, which Mariah hopes fans will unravel.
She said: "It'll be interesting to see if they can figure out what they mean.
"It's a sort of thank-you to my fans."
The promo was shot in Los Angeles by director Paul Hunter and is currently being aired on MTV.
We've got our hands on the artwork for the new single, which is released on December 12.

"The Emancipation of Mimi Ultra Platinum edition" in Belgian stores tomorrow
Apparently, according to Free Record Shop Belgium, the album has been pushed forward and will now be on sale tomorrow (but the stores are closed, remember it's November the 11th.), in a way it's good news , but the Heroes of Mariah street promos are messed up, as Saturday it was the street promo for "Get Your Number" and later the street promo for the Ultra Platinum album.  I'm stressed out and really confused, even more as I had a phone call with Universal Belgium today and they didn't tell me the release date was changed.  Weird, really weird.

Awwwwww, poor Tommy..... 
Marc signs to new manager
Tommy Mottola's management firm has lost Marc Anthony as a client. The Latino crooner, a major money earner, has rehired his brother Bigram Zayas, our spies say. Zayas managed Anthony for many years until Mottola came on the scene. "Marc missed him so much," a source told PAGE SIX, "and he doesn't trust anyone else." The Anthony/Mottola split effectively puts an end to Mottola's dream of managing Anthony's wife, Jennifer Lopez — whose career he helped make when he was head of Sony Music. Mottola once sneaked Lopez the tracks his former wife Mariah Carey was planning to use on her album "Glitter" for Lopez's song "Jenny From the Block," which became a huge hit, while Carey — who had to scramble to find tunes — saw her album founder. Anthony's rep confirmed the move.

Patti Labelle a lil' jealous of Mariah ?
Several fans saw Patti LaBelle on the Doug Banks Show talking about the problems she had with Def Jam.  She said the label did not promote her latest albums, so she decided to leave the company, but was dropped by Def Jam before she left.
She then was angry telling she was in the business for so long and couldn't understand how she was treated. She mentioned Mariah, telling Def Jam would not treat Mariah that way and mentioned Mariah's name several times and finally refered to her as "Queen Mariah" in a sarcastic way.
About two weeks ago, an interesting article was refering to Patti's troubles with L.A. Reid.  Click here to read it.

The "Don't Forget About Us" video banned by Malaysian censors
Mariah on fire
This is the extremely steamy new vid from Mariah Carey.
The promo - for December 12 release Don't Forget About Us - got Malaysian censors so hot under collar they banned it.
As our exclusive stills show, it features some seriously raunchy shots of the super-sexy 35-year-old.
We see a very-scantily-clad Mariah writhing on the floor and getting up close and very personal with a mystery hunk in a swimming pool. 
The amazing video, shot by Paul Hunter, was inspired by Marilyn Monroe's unfinished last movie Something's Got To Give.
The singer, who owns Marilyn's piano, told us: "I'm a big fan of Marilyn Monroe. The pool scene in the video is in honour and homage to her."
Some do like it hot...

You can make a difference
Jonas bumped into Mariah on 5 November, 2005 in New York City and he told her how he wished she would perform at the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in the Rockerfella Center this year since her "Merry Christmas" was re-released. This is what Mariah had to say:
"Sony ain’t doing it, I don’t know why." 
"But I would love to." 
She smiled then turned around and said, "Ya know, you should have everyone e-mail Sony and convince them."

Heroes of Mariah street promotions
I told you yesterday that we needed to go to the city mayor services to ask the autorisation document to make our street promo.  We were a lil' worried 'cause it's not very easy.  Well, we succeeded .  The guy was nice, he asked us all the details and a copy of our promo stuffs and he putted them in the city archives (yes, Mariah will be archieved forever in the Brussels city documents ).  He then printed the documents we need to show to the police if there's a control.
Anyway, the "Get Your Number" street promo will take place this Saturday November the 12th. in the afternoon in the city center of Brussels.
The "The Emancipation of Mimi" re-issue street promo will take place Saturday November the 19th. in the city center of Brussels too.
If you guys want to take part to one or both street promotions, drop me an e-mail, thanks.

The secret messages hunt, part 1599860 
It's clear we all know by now, the wall features the words "MIMI", "Jack", "SEVENTH".  It seems you're a lot to follow my soap "Cake the secret message hunter" .  Here's today's episode.... I don't know what else you read, but I focused my attention today on the "Platform" well it could be "Maven Platform is...", "Maven" could be for the music game which is more and more trendy since a few months in the HipHop community.  Check it out here.  I'm not gonna claim it is the Maven game for sure, I'm not that full of myself and until Mariah give us more clues (I hope she does ), I think none of us will know for sure what the messages are.

Mariah gives fur to PETA for the homeless
Pelts for the poor
Watch out for some fabulously dressed homeless people - care of Mariah Carey. The prancing popstress took a break from her European tour promoting her multiplatinum disc "The Emancipation of Mimi" to perform in Russia at the birthday party of an anonymous gazillionaire kleptocrat. The tycoon gave her dozens of unwanted fur coats in addition to a seven-figure fee. She doesn't wear fur, so she gave the pelts to PETA to distribute to the homeless, sources say. Here's hoping that animal-rights activists don't add to the homeless fur-wearers' woes by beating them up for donning the stoles.

Hawaii tickets sale postponed 
Mariah Carey In Concert in Hawaii 
On sale Postponed Until Sunday November 13, 2005 - 9:00 a.m. HST
Due to overwhelming interest … Mariah Carey’s management has asked we postpone the on-sale dates of her December 10th and 12th at the University of Hawaii’s Stan Sheriff Center. The performance dates will remain the same.
The postponement allows time for the reconfiguration of the seating of the Stan Sheriff Center to accommodate her new “in the round” performance.
Mariah sees the unique design of the Stan Sheriff Center as chance to have more intimate contact with her audience. The one of a kind … “in the round” performance … on a custom stage … makes every seat in the house … a truly 
once in a life time fan experience.
By naming her album The Emancipation of Mimi and referencing “Mimi”, a nickname only used by those closest to her … she is inviting fans into her life. Her “in the round” performance brings that theme to her new tour and directly to her fans… in performance.

The "Get your Number" street promo will probably take place on Saturday November the 12th. and the "The Emancipation of Mimi" one on November the 19th.  Anyway, stay tuned for the dates  and let us already know what dates would be ok for you.

Mariah Emancipated, Again
Will fans buy the same album with four new songs? 
Even after Mariah Carey put out The Emancipation of Mimi, which went on to sell 4 million copies and become the second-best-selling album of 2005, she kept going back into the studio. So on November 15th, Carey is putting her album out again with four new tracks -- as did 50 Cent and the Killers, who revamped hot albums and saw them shoot back up the charts. "We came up with a couple of songs that I wanted to put out," says Antonio "LA" Reid, chairman of Carey's label, Island Def Jam. "My idea was to continue to create demand for the music." 
The Emancipation of Mimi -- Ultra Platinum Edition includes the single "Don't Forget About Us," co-produced by Jermaine Dupri; a remix of "We Belong Together," featuring Jadakiss and Styles P.; the Twista collaboration "So Lonely (One and Only Part 2)," with a new verse by Carey; and the midtempo "Making It Last All Night (What It Do)" featuring Dupri. (A limited-edition version is also available with a bonus DVD of videos.)
Labels have been searching for quick sales boosts for the past five years, when revenues began a steady decline; CD sales are down ten percent so far this year. "If they can take an album that's been successful and add a couple of songs to it, there's a chance there's a Mariah Carey fan going, 'I've got to get this one too,'" says Todd Cavanah, program director for Chicago's B96.3, which put Carey's new "Don't Forget About Us" into heavy rotation.

The hints in "Don't Forget About Us" video part 523644 
Ok, I said I gave up, but we were still talking about it in family, we were all looking at the video, Kinou, my dad, my grandma and I.  By the way, my grandma now wants a wool sweater like the one Mariah wears in the fire place scene .  We all together saw symbolic stuffs, Mariah seems prisoner in a soccer net,  butterfly prisoner in a net,  why soccer?  Soccer.... goal....reach your goal.  Ok, I stop .
We came to a conclusion, the secret messages are not in the video..... yet .  And what if we will only see it when we will put the DVD from the re-issue in our PC .  Wouldn't that be great?
Oh, by the way, Kinou thinks she found it , the messages on the logs are not the same, it's a different one in each fire scene, which means this could be the reason we all saw different messages  and here's the message Kinou would have included: "STOP LEAKING MY JOINTS BITCHES"

It's not always easy living up to the hype when you're one of Jay-Z's hand-picked protégé, but Rihanna has been wearing that title well, even giving Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" a run for #1 (Mariah took the title, nabbing the #1 spot for 13 weeks, but "Pon de Replay" stayed hot on its heels at #2). Going up against her idol, she says, has been one of the coolest things that has happened since her arrival on the scene.
"I looked up to Mariah a lot and I still do. I admire her as an artist, and to compete with her was a moment I will never forget for the rest of my life," she said.

Michael Jackson charity single almost finished
Hurricane Katrina single due out this month
Michael Jackson has almost finished his Hurricane Katrina charity single, according to his spokesperson.
The star is recording the track in the Middle East, but is using phone and satellite and phone connections to work with the artists involved. 
"All that remains is for two or three artists to do their tracks," Jackson's spokesperson Raymone Bain told BBC News. "Michael will then add his vocals. He is now on the fast track and we're happy with the progress." 
As previously reported the record is expected to feature the likes of Mariah Carey , R Kelly , James Brown , Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. 
Lenny Kravitz , Wyclef Jean and Missy Elliott are now also involved in the project, though due to rewrites the song is no longer called 'From The Bottom of My Heart' . 
Proceeds from the single, due for release this month, will be go to the Bill Clinton-George Bush Katrina Fund , the Push-Excel Hurricane Katrina College Relief Fund and a disaster fund set up by the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences.

Heroes comment: This needs of course to be officially confirmed.  Remember on October the 16th. I posted that Laura Swanson, senior vice president of publicity for Island Def Jam, the label home of Mariah said: "I don't believe Michael's done any recording for his benefit single. At least not that I've heard of."  Also, the song is not called "From the Bottom of My Heart,"anymore, 'causeStevie Wonder's new album "A Time 2 Love" has a track with that nameand is featured on the CD bundled with a Katrina benefit single, "Shelter in the Rain."

Guys, I officially give up with the hints in the "Don't Forget About Us" video until I'll see a clear version of it on a TV screen.  It seems all fans worldwide are busy searching for the hints, I received several e-mails with nice explanations, but none of them make sense, it needs to be something fans will see without taking a magnifying glass, something you can see while watching the video, without pressing pause.  My hint from yesterday was a good one, but Kinou and I were so tired last night that we were ready to read multiple stuffs, including "fire", now I read "lies" .  Mariah said on a wall guys, so one of the hints is on the wall.  Or maybe there's no hint at all and Mariah thought we were bored and gave us something to do .
Time to vooooooote for "Get Your Number" in Belgium and "Don't Forget About Us" in the US 
This is my hint

Carey hits Stan Sheriff next month
Lets get started with one of the biggest, if not the biggest, musical events of 2005 for the under-40 crowd. Who needs the Eagles when you've got Mariah Carey? 
While the pop superstar enjoyed success this year with "It's Like That," "We Belong Together" and "Shake it Off," all off the album "The Emancipation of Mimi," it will be nice to see Carey perform some of the other hits that helped shape her career. Remember "Vision of Love," "Someday" and the notorious remix of "Fantasy" with Ol' Dirty Bastard? ...

Each his turn, Mariah blasted by UK press, Camilla blasted by US press.....
Cruel US critics blast Camilla's fashion style
The knives were out for Camilla in New York yesterday.
She faced a barrage of personal insults after paying her respects to victims of September 11.  Right from the start of her US tour with Charles, newspaper critics branded her "frumpy".
In a series of vicious attacks she was dubbed "The Horse", the "Royal Bore" - and "The Rottweiler".
And all this from a country notorious for having the worst taste in the world!
One of the most savage onslaughts came from the downmarket New York Post.  The paper ran a front-page picture headlined: "Queen Camilla is New York's Frump Tower."  Last night the Duchess found an unlikely ally in normally acid-tongued chat-show host Joan Rivers.  She said: "Camilla is one of the world's best dressed women and it's ridiculous to say otherwise.  "Just because she doesn't dress like Mariah Carey, it doesn't mean she's a frump. 
"It's not just about what you wear, it's about how you wear it and she pulls it off every time.  "As us New Yorkers say, she's got it."
Camilla attended a reception at the city's Museum of Modern Art in the evening.  She looked regal in a midnight blue, off-the-shoulder dress with a large white lace collar.  But that didn't stop the Post slamming her £2,000 hand- made gown by British designer Anthony Price as frumpy.
Although she made no official comment, insiders admitted the Duchess was bound to have been hurt by the comments.
Not everyone was so mean. Yoko Ono described Camilla and Charles as "beautiful people". 
And billionaire Donald Trump said they were "wonderful".
Many British observers were outraged by the slurs against Camilla - now an official representative of the monarchy.
It is one thing for us to criticise her, but how dare the Yanks join in? It is like someone being rude to your mother.

K9 Magazine offers a download 
Hear Mariah Carey discuss the jet set lifestyle of her ever-so-famous and incredibly popular canine pal, Jack as she also gives a big thumbs up to Jack's starring role alongside her on the cover of K9 Magazine.
Mariah Carey, the world's most successful female recording artist is clearly thrilled with her and Jack's appearance on K9 Magazine. 
Listen to Mariah discussing Jack's fantastic life - did she really hire a chauffeur to drive him 3,000 miles across the country? - as well as some of the starring roles he's picked up for himself - could the superstar Terrier may soon be as famous as his illustrious owner?
In Mariah's exclusive K9 Magazine interview she told us how dogs became her true animal passion after a parrot used to tease her when she was younger.
"My mom always had pets and so there were always animals around and there’s never been a time in my life where I didn’t have a pet. 
I had dogs and cats and even birds. My mom's parrot bit me (laughs) and he used to torment me by saying my name like my mother would when for example she was calling me to come downstairs. 
So in the middle of the night the bird would be shrieking “Mariah!” 
And there it is, Mariah confirms what people have believed for centuries, although all animals are great, it is the dog who truly is man's (and woman's) very best friend.

K9 magazine interview transcript
Hello Mariah, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us
Tell us about your pets. Names, breeds and ages.
My pet's name is Jack.  He's a Jack Russell who can swim underwater, jump four feet in the air and he is eternally two years old. His full name is Jackson P. Mutley.
Why the full name?
(Laughs) It's kind of a long story.  The name envolved overtime.  I don't even know what the P. stands for but I guess you can imagine.  I don't know.
When did your interest in pets/animals begin and how long have you been a pet owner.
Well my mom always had pets and so there were always animals around and there's never been a time in my life where I didn't have a pet.  I had dogs and cats and even birds.  My moms parrot bit me (laughs) and he used to torment me by saying my name like my mother would when for example she was calling me to come downstairs.  So in the middle of the night the bird would be shrieking " Mariah!".
Your latest album "The Emancipation Of Mimi" has had some fantastic reviews and has been a huge success, what would you say is your favourite track from the album and why?
I have a lot of different favourite tracks because they're all representative of different moods but I really love "Shake It Off".  Obviously, "We Belong Together" has a special significance for me- you know just being the success that it has been and the emotional vibe in the song.  I would also say that my favourite song is "Fly Like A Bird" which is the last song on the album and a favourite because it has a very spiritual message and it's close to my heart.
We've heard your favourite childhood memories are various junior high antics, can you recall a specific moment which you would like to tell our readers?
Well, one time I was 12 years old I dyed my hair orange by mistake and it looked really hideous.  My hair was blonde when I was little but it started getting darker so I started using Sun in which is supposed to bring out in the highlights in your hair.  However, I didn't know about the whole technical side of hair colouring as I hadn't been to beauty school yet.
Anyway, it made my hair kind of orange, so then I tried to correct the colour and went to the store with my friend to buy a golden blonde dye.  I didn't realise though that anything that says gold means it's a red base!  So I used this dye and was blow drying my hair with an orange blow dryer when my friend yelled "Your hair is the colour of the blow dryer!"
I then walked outside and there was this kid there that I had a crush on and he was like "What happened to your hair".  It was a totally bleak moment.  On top of that I had also shaved my eyebrows because I didn't know that you were supposed to tweeze them and the only make up I really had was reject stuff from my mother so I had no eyebrows, hideous make-up with blue eyeliner and orange hair - not a good look (laughs)
In which one way do you believe dogs to be a superor life from humans?
They don't judge others.
Will you ever bring Jack to London?
I would love to but there are rules about quarantine for animals and I don't think that it'd be right to do that to him.  It's 6 months - I'd never do that to him.
Does Jack ever bite or chew your shoes?
Jack doesn't bite shoes - he's very smart and knows better than that.
You've received numerous prestigious awards over the years including two Grammy's, 8 American Music awards and were also named "World's Best Selling Female Artists Of The Millenium" which must have been a huge moment.  How did you fel when you received your very first award and what were the thoughts which went through your mind when your name was called?
I don't think I was fully aware of that moment because so much was going on and I didn't really take it in.  I knew that it was a big deal but it just happened so fast and I was really nervous too.
It was said some time ago on a well known British sit com that the perfect woman have Kylie Minogues's bum, Claudia Schiffer's legs and Cindy Crawford's face.  Using this logic, can you please create your own perfect fantasy dog?
There is no better dog than Jack.  How could you make a dog better than Jack! (laughs)
Tell us about the Relly Award that Jack was recently nominated for?
Well Jack was nominated for this Relly Award on the Regis and Kelly show for Best Non-Human guest.  The nominees were Chewbacca, Miss Piggy, Barney, a two headed albino snake andmy dog Jack.  I thought that it was so cool hat Jack was being nominated for an award and that people all over the world were finally going to be able to see the splendour of him.  So there I was being so excited for Jack and then all of a sudden I found out that Miss Piggy won the award!  I'm really seriously demanding a recount because I think that some trickery went on!!!... (Laughs)
What did Jack do when he was on the show?
Well Jack was with me for an interview.  He's like a person and he just knows when the cameras go on.  He starts hamming it up and jumping up and down.  On Regis and Kelly his personality just shone though, I think that when the viewers saw him on the show they realised that he was special - I mean he received a nomination against mainly fictitious characters.  He was the only real animal - other than the 2 headed snake.
Jack's used to the limelight though and he loves being on set.  He's actually been in quite a few of my videos including "DreamLover", "All I Want For Christmas Is You", "Always Be My Baby", "Honey", "Thank Gof I found You", "Against All Odds" and "Boy I Need You".  He loves walking around the wardrobe department, he likes the dog equivalent of hair and make-up (grooming).  He is a star.
Which do you prefer and why?
Big dogs or little dogs - That's what I love about Jack.  He's like a big dog in a small dog's body.  Also he's very strong and very muscular but small enough that he can lie in a bed and small enough that I can take him out with me easily.
Pedigree dogs or x breeds - It really depends on the dog.
Lead and collar or dog running free - Dog running free but the problem is my dog gets a little excited (laughs) and he needs to have his harness on all the time because you don't want him to choke with the collar.  He happily wears the harness and likes it so if he gets carried away or if he stays in the pool to long it'll help us get him out.
What is your earliest memory of dogs?
When I was little my parents were breding Dobermans and when I was about four the dog had puppies.  I remember all the different puppies.  My parents gave the puppies away but kept one which we called Bruno.
Describe the last time you...
Had to shout at your pet - I try not to shout at him.
Laughed out loud because of your pet - All I have to do is think about Jack and he makes me laugh.  He's hilarious.  Actually I laughed out loud yesterday because my friend Connie said she wanted to meet Jack. She's never met him because she lives here in London.  Anyway when she said this everybody in the room turned around and said - "You don't know Jack?" as if he was you know the most well known person on the face of the earth!  I'm telling you people just love Jack and I'm not saying this because he's my dog.
Trained your pet to do something new - Well we're working on him being more gentle when I hand him a treat. (He got used to me accepting the fact that he's impatient when he wants a treat, and you know, he's got some sharp teeth).  He's just learning to calm down and allow me to give him the treat nicely otherwise he's not going to get it.  He's doing ok too but it depends on his mood...
What is it about Jack's personality that makes him so special?
He is almost like a person, we have this thing where we say Jack is a person because it's like he'll just hang out and want to be almost a part of the conversation - just sitting around and watching.  He's a very spiritual animal, he has a lot of zest and he's fun.  In fact he's almost like a circus dog with all the tricks that he does.  The other side of him is that when he's laying down and you pet him he's very loving.  He's a good dog, a good boy.
What is Jack's favourite toy, activity, game?
Jack is a swimmer so he gets obssessed with anything to do with water even if I'm taking a shower he'll try to knock on the door and come and stand in the shower.  If I'm running a bath all of a sudden I'll hear a spash and Jack will have jumped into the tub!  It's something that's been happening for years and it's like "Jack's in the tub again!" and there he is swimming around!
His favourite toy is the jet inside the pool - like the jets you find in pools and hot tubs.  He treats that as his toy and continiously dives under the water and tries to bite the water coming out of the jet.  As far as other toys go you can't get Jack anything that's too easy to rip apart because he's got very strong teeth.  He has a toy steak.  It's a fake looking T-bone that's really tough to rip apart.  It has lasted a while but I think that it's finally on the way out.
What about Jack's bad habits?
Well...  Lately he's been sneaking out of the gate.  There's a railing on the side of the kitchen in the house in Los angeles and I thought that I could leave him out there so that he could run free in this little area - and he was really enjoying himself running after little geckos and stuff.
Then one day I was out in the back and I see Jack coming out of nowhere and I realise that he had snuck under the fence and run straight for the pool and jumped in.  So now I can't let him stay out there anymore because there are coyotes and things.  Instead he's given supervised pool time.
Who is your hero?
I thought this was about dogs?  Ok Jack's my hero.
Would you describe Jack as a "people-dog"?
Definately.  He loves people.  Sometimes he plays rough as he grew up with Doberman Pinchers and thinks that he's bigger dog than he is.
Finish the following sentence:
My dog is.... The best!

Mariah sweetheart I think I found one of the hints
I watched the video over and over, Kinou and I even watched it frame by frame, we found a butterfly behind the goal, we even saw letters, we saw the number 5 on the ball, we saw on some scenes you didn't wear your butterfly ring, we saw something strange on the log in the fireplace, we searched again and again, it was an obssession .  I think there are several hints, but I still need to figure out the one written on the wall.  Well, should I post what's the first hint I found, if you guys don't wanna see it, close your eyes now.....
Ok, in the fireplace....

Mariah learns humidifier trick from Luther
Pop diva Mariah Carey's penchant for sleeping in a room full of humidifiers the night before a concert is a vocal tip she learned from late soul great Luther Vandross.
The singer has often been ridiculed for her vocal demands, but she insists she has to take care of her voice.
She explains, "I sleep as much as I can the night before (a show). We have to sleep to hit the notes.
"I need humidifiers when I sleep because it's good for my voice. Luther Vandross, God bless him, told me that."

Marilyn Monroe Inspires Mariah To Shed Clothes For New Video
Mariah Carey doesn't want you to forget about her — which is why she's re-releasing her album The Emancipation of Mimi with extra tracks, including her latest single, "Don't Forget About Us," the video for which she just shot in Los Angeles with director Paul Hunter. The clip is an homage to her fans, first loves and, oddly enough, Marilyn Monroe.
First, the fans. Carey says she could have saved the new music that's going to be on the re-release of "Mimi" (see "Mariah Carey Emancipating Mimi Again, With Bonus Tracks"), but that would mean we'd be waiting for a least "a couple of years" before we'd get to hear anything on a new album, and where's the fun in that?
Her label head, L.A. Reid, loved "Don't Forget About Us" so much, she said, that he convinced her to speed up the process and get a few tracks out now. (In addition to "Don't Forget About Us," there's also three other new songs: "What It Look Like," "So Lonely [One and Only Part 2]" and a remix of "We Belong Together" featuring Jadakiss and Styles P.) A further nod to the fans are secret messages on a wall in the video for "Don't Forget About Us," "like we did in 'Shake It Off,' " she said, that only the diehard can decipher. "See if they figure it out! It's a sort of thank you to the fans."
The secret messages wouldn't be that much fun, though, if they didn't connect to something relatable, and in this case, it's true love. "It's basically a love song, saying to somebody, 'There was something good, don't forget about it!' " Carey explained.
"Each song has, not necessarily a different message, but a different mood, a different feeling," she continued. "It evokes something different depending on who listens to it and at what time. 'Don't Forget About Us' could give you a good, happy memory, or you could be miserable, crying, listening to it over and over. All in all, I think it's good to have music you can live vicariously through, and that's what a lot of people have told me this record has been for them."
Carey picked Hunter to helm the clip, after last teaming up with him on 1997's "Honey," which she calls one of her favorite videos. "I was always like, 'I wish I could do something like "Honey" again,' " she said. So together they dreamed up scenarios where Carey luxuriates in her home, on a beach, in a car and on a soccer field, as she reminisces about the one who got away, interspersed with flashbacks of happier times, as the onetime couple canoodles in their former hangouts. One such scene takes place in a pool, as an older — and possibly nude — Mariah sings with one leg up on the edge, as a younger, swimsuited Mariah frolics with her beau in flashbacks.
"That shot was totally and completely inspired by 'Something's Got to Give,' Marilyn Monroe's last movie that never got finished," she explained. "It's an homage to her, because I've never seen anyone re-create it. So many people have emulated so many of Marilyn's classic moments, but it's just that I'm a big fan of hers, and I thought it was really pretty at night with the pool. No one could ever be as fabulous as Marilyn was, but it's in honor and homage to her."
Carey will open the American Music Awards with her first live performance of "Don't Forget About Us" on November 22 at 8p.m. on ABC.

Heroes comment: Indeed, first in "It's Like That", now in "Don't Forget About Us", there are always little Marilyn parts, but in "Don't Forget About Us" it's not only an hint, it's an homage.

Why Mariah was not disguised
Open All Night writes: "That evening we hit Bette Midler’s annual Hulaween Ball, which doubled as her 60th birthday party and was of epic proportions. Dressed as a rose, Bette received birthday greetings from costumed guests including Martha Stewart, Glenn Close, Eartha Kitt, Martin Short, and Sting and Trudie Styler. A devilishly attired Elton John entertained the crowd. Mariah Carey said she didn’t don a costume thanks to the unflattering press coverage of the bridal getup she wore last year"

The Don't Forget About Us video premiered on MTV today
Mariah looks gorgeous in the video....lots of performances scenes and another hot male model. There is a scene with her in this short black kinds tight dress.....another scene with her on the ground in like white lingerie.
There's a scene with her and this guy playing football and rolling around and playing in the net.....there is another scene with them in a pool and a scene by herself in the pool with her hair kinda up....then another scene with both of them in a car. Then there is a scene with her in the car by herself in his winter jacket.
So its like almost all scenes there is one with him and then one with her remembering in a sense.
During the bridge when shes saying she cant do it like me...the male model is looking at her laughing.
The video ends with her in his winter jacket and she looks so cute under the hood.

Is Belgium's "Get Your Number" 2 track single an exclusive version????????

The single is now available in Belgian stores and it seems we have a exclusive version. As the cardboard sleeve single is the only one which will be released in Belgium (we don't have maxi-singles anymore or just from a few artists), it seems the tracklist is different from what will be released in other countries.
Tracklist:
- Get Your Number
- Shake It Off Remix featuring Jay-Z and Young Jeezy
The single is also available online at Free Record Shop BE.
But the site messed up the picture, the one you find in Belgium is the one featured on the picture I posted.
International fans, you can buy it from Free Record Shop too, as they ship worldwide.  As the site is in French and in Dutch, if you need help, just ask me and I'll explain you how to proceed.

"Shake It Off" video received 2 million requests in 24 hours on Yahoo Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Music video audience migrates to Web
On Nov. 1, Internet media giant Yahoo will launch two music video services, and both efforts illustrate the Internet's growing dominance among music video media.
One will feature the online debut of a different music video each weekday. The videos will be available online at Yahoo exclusively for 24 hours. Most will be world premieres, though some will have simultaneous TV releases. The focus is mainstream acts.
"The Internet is now leading where the music video business is going," Yahoo head of programming and label relations Jay Frank says.
Even MTV has embraced the Internet. The network launched its Overdrive site to help keep music video fans engaged with the MTV brand.
Label executives equate featured placement of a video on AOL or Yahoo with appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone, in terms of exposure. For instance, Mariah Carey's "Shake It Off" video received 2 million requests in the first 24 hours it was available on Yahoo Music, compared with 500,000 requests on MTV's "TRL."

This morning, we thought Mariah left New York to go to Germany (see the news below), but it was to go to Russia where Mariah is at the moment, she will be leaving tonight to go back to the United States.

"So Lonely" new version
B96 played the "So Lonely" version of the Ultra Platinum Edition, it seems the intro was different and right after it Mariah put her verse in it and it seemed it had less Twista on it....then towards the end it seemed as if the beat was slightly different and that Mariah rerecorded the high note part.

Merry Christmas re-issue in some US stores now
Not all US stores had the Merry Christmas re-issue on sale today, some stores didn't even know it was in their own stock until several fans asked them to check and finally found it.  The DVD side seems interesting. The "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" anniversary mix claymation is cute and another video of the JD remix of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town where the animated Mariah is the same one from the Heartbreaker video. The main menu screen has the CD cover with snow fallin down. When you play the songs off the dvd they each have a different holiday picture to accompany them.  There are some quotes from the bible on the cd sleeve.

Not directly Mariah related, but as Cam is one of Mariah's friends.....
Cam'ron Shot In Failed Carjacking Attempt
Rapper shot once in each arm early Sunday morning
Cam'ron is recuperating after being shot early Sunday morning in what appears to be a failed carjacking attempt, according to the rapper's representatives.
A spokesperson and a source within the the MC's Diplomats camp have confirmed Cam'ron was shot around 2:10 a.m. Sunday morning (October 23) in Washington, D.C. However, police have refused to release any details or even confirm the shooting as of press time.
Cam'ron was driving away from the popular D.C. nightclub H2O in his blue Lamborghini when an unknown number of men tried to carjack him, according to the rapper's camp. They pulled up in their own vehicle and demanded Cam turn over his car.
When Cam'ron did not cooperate, they fired multiple shots inside the car, shattering glass and hitting Cam'ron once in each arm, according to his rep. The leader of the Diplomats was taken to a nearby hospital and is said to be resting and doing fine.
Cam'ron has generally avoided keeping a team of security guards around him. He can often be spotted in New York by himself or with a few friends, cruising in one of his vehicles, shopping or signing autographs.
The rapper was in D.C. participating in the festivities surrounding Howard University's homecoming this weekend. He's promoting his new movie and album, both called "Killa Season" and due in February.

"So Lonely" remix?
Last night, I took part to a worldwide online chat where I talked to a lot of DJ's from almost every part of the world.  It was really great!!! Ok, you don't care .
While talking, I discretly talked about Mariah lol, suddently a DJ (a big name) talked about "So Lonely" and the remix , I was like, whaaaat?  He then said that Twista's album " The Day After" has been completely remixed by Paul (I was ...hum, oh yeah....), all the DJ's began to talk about Paul's work and how his "Peoples Champ" made it to #1 on Billboard, etc.... they then talked about a lot of other interesting stuff.  We ended the chat at 3am and I was very tired.  Sooo, today, while reading all the notes I took, I quickly found out who was Paul, it was Paul Wall, and yes he made the Screwed and Chopped version of Twista's "The Day After" which will be released early November.
To make it short:
On Twista's "The Day After (Chopped & Screwed) remixed by rapper/DJ, Paul Wall, there will probably be a remix of "So Lonely"
You can already preorder the album on Amazon.

More pics of Mariah at Power 106 
Soooo, as you know, Mariah was on Power 106 in LA yesterday,  and towards the end of the interview they were joking around by "rollin out" Mariah because she kept singing "Big Boy in the morning" in a really low whispery tone and they were pretending to be pissed and were like "OK Mariah, we get the fact that you're a singer, damn already"... so then they did a "roll out" while playing Ludacris's song 'Roll Out'

Behind the scenes at the world's glitziest fund-raising event
Organiser Dylan Jones rubs shoulders with the rich and famous and reveals all 
The event I'd spent the last year and a bit planning, Swarovski Fashion Rocks, was finally taking place. Due to the enormous hard work of hundreds of incredibly talented people, and with the help of 12 of the world's most celebrated fashion designers and 14 of the world's biggest pop acts, it was actually, really, spectacularly happening. 
After the show, there was an Alain Ducasse dinner for 900 attended by Blondie, Rachel Stevens, Donatella Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Emma Bunton, Simon Fuller, Victoria Beckham, Roberto Cavalli, Jon Bon Jovi and many others. As the Universal boss Lucian Grainge led Mariah Carey through the throng, and the Arcadia chief Philip Green chatted to Prince Albert, it suddenly seemed like we were all swirling around in a modern day Fellini movie, the sweet life accompanied by Moët champagne and Swarovski necklaces. It was a blast. Not only did we raised vital funds for the Prince's Trust, but Swarovski Fashion Rocks was, in the words of one resident: "The most glamorous event Monaco has ever seen." As my wife said at the dinner, sandwiched delicately between Ozzy Osbourne and Jeremy Irons: "Darling, this is rather nice."

Mariah called in to the Russ Parr morning show this morning
Mariah called in to the Russ Parr morning show (hot 102.1) this morning on air. It was so funny because at first, they attempted to play "Don't Forget About Us" but I guess it was the instrumental version because the beat just kept going on and on and on! So they played "Shake it Off" and THEN Don' Forget About Us right after that. Then Russ was like "Hey! We got Mariah on the phone! What's up Mariah?!" Her interview was short but good. Russ acted like he had a huge crush on her and said she should call the song "Don't Forget About RUSS" lol. So she sang it like that and he acted crazy! It was a great interview.
