I changed the title, 'cause that's NOT what Lee said about Mariah, they only picked a part.......

Exclusive: Director Lee Daniels on working with Mariah Carey
Today is the seven-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and it’s amazing to see how the city of New Orleans has rebuilt itself, becoming what’s known as Hollywood South.

So we called up one of the big-name directors who’s currently filming there, Lee Daniels, to get the scoop on his latest movie, The Butler, which is due next year and has halted production this week due to Tropical Storm Isaac. 

The Oscar-nominated filmmaker had a lot to say about working with Mariah Carey for the second time He had previously cast her in Precious as a social worker, a role that got her a ton of praise.

Tell us what about the work you are currently doing in New Orleans.
I’m doing two films here. I just got done doing The Paperboy [a thriller to be released in October] and I am currently filming The Butler. Paperboy was shot in New Orleans but takes places in Miami. Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey are all in it.

The tax incentive is a very powerful reason to be filming here in New Orleans. I’m able to get so much more for my money. Investors love it! That’s the primary reason and then the other is reason is that the weather is so fabulous, the food is so good, the people are so wonderful. After Katrina, you know that you are giving back. There were so many people that were unemployed and in just such rough situations, so it’s the totality of all that that excites me about working in Louisiana.

Is filming in NOLA really that “easy”?

New York, it’s so fast! And I live there. I’ve also lived in L.A. for quite a while too. It’s just a different way. It’s the Big Easy baby [laughs]! And just be prepared to walk away 10, 15, 20 pounds heavier, so if you can hang with that then, yeah. You just gotta hit that Equinox treadmill when you get home. But we are out in the country and it gets a little scary sometimes cause you can see that confederate flag.

Are there alligators?

In Paperboy we have Zac Efron swimming with alligators to escape from a mythical John Cusack.

Your current project The Butler stars a lot of big names, including Forest Whitaker and Oprah and focuses on the life of the White House butler Eugene Allen, who spanned eight US Presidents.  How did you get involved with it?

My friend who passed away Laura Ziskin wanted this movie made so bad [Editor’s Note: this great article from Indiewire discusses just how much Ziskin pushed to have this movie made].

She was the producer of As Good As It Gets, Pretty Woman, Spiderman. She wanted me to direct this film and I was so honored to work with her. She fought on her deathbed to get the movie made. And a beautiful woman named Shelia Johnson who created BET (who no longer is with BET). Between the two of them they pulled it together and they believed in me. People that are silent heroes are not normally vocal about the film, but they are the matriarchs of The Butler.

I always get nervous but you know all I can do is my best. I pray that I can make something that they can be proud of.

You’ve got a very particular directing style. Can we talk about it?

Well, I got some chains and some whips [laughs]. I’m really frank, very open, very honest about myself to people — obnoxiously honest, which forces them into a place of honesty. There are no egos on the set. The ego is the film. We’re here to serve the film and if you are not doing it right, then you really suck, do it again!

Did you know that Mariah tweeted from the set of The Butler?

Wait a minute, you will be the first one to tell me this because it’s a big deal! I don’t tweet or anything like that. I do Instagram because my boyfriend turned me on to it. Mariah said, “[Being here] it’s a big deal so what do I tweet?” I said, “whatever you wanna tweet!” She was like, “Lee I don’t wanna like freak you out or anything.”  I said “Mariah, I don’t care what you say!” So now I’m about to hear from you what she said.

I’ll read it to you, it says: “Just finished my first day on “The Butler”, what an honor working with such a legendary, stellar ensemble. Thank you Lee Daniels.”

Awwwww…I would have cast her as a stripper having sex with John Kennedy. I would’ve cast her as a bartender you know, as a white southern racist bartender. I would’ve cast her in anything you know what I mean because she is my buddy. But I can’t tell you what she plays. Did she tell anyone what she plays? I’ll kill her if she did. Kill her! I was going to hang up the phone and stop the interview right now.

I would’ve cast her in anything because she understands me. She is not a diva. But she is a diva, don’t get me wrong. She is a complete psychotic diva in the best way the minute I yell “Cut!” when she is in the work. I don’t have the words to describe the love I have for her.

Nice reminder from Roger Friedman, some tabloids/gossips/blogs seem to forget it......

Mariah Carey Gives Baby Pictures to Fans, Not Tabloids

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have decided not to sell their baby pictures to tabloids. Instead, they’ve essentially given them away to fans on Mariah’s website. At the same time, they’re asking publications and others who want copies to buy them from dembabies.com, where proceeds will go to Mariah’s Fresh Air Fund Camp.

This lovely act of altruism is certainly a first, as we’re expecting pictures of Snooki’s baby, Lorenzo, to be flogged somewhere any minute. (Not to say there’s any comparison between Mariah and Snooki.)

Mariah has been running Camp Mariah for about twenty years through good times and bad, and has taken it pretty seriously. You can read about it at www.freshairfund.org. We’re running a picture from the website here on our site, so we’re sending a check to the Fresh Air Fund immediately. Nice stuff, Nick and Mariah!

Q-Tip Confirms Mariah Carey, Kendrick Lamar Collaborations
After signing with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music earlier this year, Q-Tip announced that he was working on his upcoming fourth album entitled The Last Zulu. When we caught up with the Tribe Called Quest frontman at Summer Madness 2 in New York, the rapper confirmed a few upcoming collaborations.

"I'm recording a new album called The Last Zulu," said Tip. "I'm doing production. I'm working with Mariah Carey, Kendrick Lamar, Marsha Ambrosius."

Last time Q-Tip and Mariah Carey worked together, we got 1997's smooth hip-hop soul hit "Honey," so we're amped to see what's on deck this time around.

Mariah about her upcoming album and OPI

“I actually went to beauty school in 11th grade so I could have something to fall back on, so believe me, I’ve done my share of manicures as well as getting them,” said Carey, who added that although a neutral nail is her go-to, she has been recently donning metallic and pastel shades. “OPI knows that the polish you use makes a big difference not only in the look, but in the care of your nails and that’s why I believe in the brand.

“It is an eclectic mix of vocal-driven ballads, up-tempos and midtempos,” said Carey about the upcoming release. “I’m not one to refer to myself in the third person, but a lot of songs will feel like ‘classic Mariah Carey songs.’”

Like I said numerous times, you don't need to love it all, we each have different taste, but there's 1 thing I was tought since I'm a lil' boy, it's something called RESPECT, seems some parents failed to teach that to their kids.

Mariah already shooting her part in "The Butler"

As posted here on July 14,  the story is based on Eugene Allen's life, a black man who worked in the White House for eight presidents, beginning in 1952.
Allen had a unique front-row seat as political and racial history were being made -- from the civil rights movement and Vietnam War to the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
According to IMDB Mariah is playing Hattie Pearl 's character.
The pic (obviously not Mariah) was taken on the set of The Butler.

Why Mariah Carey Released Three Versions of 'Triumphant' Single

With latest single "Triumphant (Get 'Em)," Mariah Carey is offering something for everyone.

During a Def Jam conference call with media on Aug. 2, the singer debuted a hip-hop version of the track featuring Rick Ross and Meek Mill, while simultaneously releasing a "vintage throwback remix" and "pulse club mix" on her website, MariahCarey.com.

Previewing the multiple versions of the single -- co-written and co-produced by Carey, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox -- reveals the diversity of musical genres expected on her untitled 14th album, tentatively due in March 2013. According to Carey manager Randy Jackson, releasing the three different versions of "Triumphant" speaks to her ability to cater to multiple audiences and radio formats.

"The vintage throwback mix will remind fans of remixes she did years ago, and she's had a lot of Billboard No. 1 dance hits as well," Jackson says. "She went in and re-sang the vocals, knowing that the two verses on this first version of this single with Meek and Ross were going to be hip-hop verses where people were rapping. We wanted to have something for all of her fans."

The radio attack plan is multipronged as well. The single has already been released on YouTube in streaming format, having racked up almost 500,000 views since it was uploaded earlier this month. Island Def Jam plans to service the hip-hop version to R&B/hip-hop radio on Aug. 13, and is mapping out strategies to deliver other versions across dance formats.

Releasing three versions has played to Carey's benefit. Some fans criticized the fact that Ross and Mill overshadow the singer on her own song and gravitated toward the club-geared mixes.

"Most people probably don't understand this, but you always play to what's best for the song," Jackson says. "You don't go in and say, 'Wait a minute. I know they're rapping on these verses, but I need to be singing on these verses. Me, me, me.' It just turns out that way."

For Carey, enlisting rappers for a single is nothing new. Since the onset of her career, she's collaborated with Jay-Z, Ol' Dirty Bastard and Busta Rhymes, adding hip-hop flavor to pop-leaning tracks. The choice to release three versions of "Triumphant" mirrors a similar strategy used for 2009 single "Obsessed," for which she shot two music videos: a solo edit and a remix featuring Gucci Mane. The original version of the cut peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the club remix later topped the Dance Club Songs chart, scoring a hit across formats.

"Her idea with all her music is to get it out to her fans, and hopefully lift everyone's spirits a little bit," says Jackson, who notes that "Triumphant" was inspired by Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, and his struggle with kidney failure earlier this year. "It's really about having it succeed, and people are hearing it."

In anticipation of the single's release, Carey has already shot a video directed by Cannon and set for release in the forthcoming weeks. She has a "big performance planned soon for television," and will appear in director Lee Daniels' upcoming film, "The Butler." Of course, she also recently cut a deal to serve as a judge on "American Idol" that's rumored to be worth $18 million. During the next few months, however, Jackson insists that completing the album is her main focus.

OPI Signs Deal With Mariah Carey
From the Muppets to Minnie Mouse, OPI nabs the real-life Ms. Mariah Carey for its next nail collaboration.

Following a line with Ms. Nicki Minaj, the nail brand is going for another chart-topping vocalist for its next line of lacquers.

WWD reports that the superstar singer signed on for two nail polish collections, both launching next year.

The first collection of eight shades will hit OPI salons, spas and retailers worldwide in January, followed by another collection later in the year.

After taking some time off to get married and give birth to twins, Carey is slated to make a comeback with a new album releasing soon, so the timing of her beauty collab could not have been better planned.

Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, executive vice president and artistic director of OPI tells WWD, “Nails are part of her personality. I really have always looked for celebrities for whom nails are very important, and it is not something you just Photoshop on a picture. She was very much part of the color selection.”

Mariah fans since 'Always Be My Baby' hit number one in '96, we can't wait for the Grammy Award-winner's sure-to-be glittery and glam polishes.

         Mariah Carey could be back working with ‘X Factor’s’ L.A. Reid, despite her new ‘American Idol’ gig

Sources close to the new “American Idol” judge say that after Carey releases her new album later this year with Universal she’s “more than seriously considering” returning to working with “X-Factor” judge L.A. Reid, who is now at Sony. Reid, formerly CEO of Island Def Jam Music Group, is widely given credit for reviving Carey’s career in 2005. He joined Sony in July 2011 and is now chairman and CEO of its Epic label. The record exec and the singer remain close friends, and one source even says Reid was instrumental in Carey’s joining “Idol.” And another “Idol” judge, Randy Jackson — who also serves as Carey’s manager — wants her to work again with Reid. Jackson thinks “L.A. is the right guy for Mariah,” says the source. A spokeswoman for Carey says “Mariah is still happily under contract with Island Def Jam” and that “she just wrapped the video for ‘Triumphant (Get ’Em),’ the first single from her upcoming album.”

As you may know, Triumphant is on sale since yesterday on iTunes in some countries and the track hasn't even been sent to radios, (some radios plan to "pirate" the track to be able to play it) can I say *rolleyes* (my rolleyes emoticon is even too cute in that case ).

Anyway, you guys from the Promo Team & Street Team are doing what you can and you do great!!! At least we try ......

Varune and Julien, part of the Street Team, already started.
Look what Varune did in his local Apple store.  And Julien printed flyers with his own damn money and will put them on cars' windshields.......

I'm not gonna post 100 reviews, we all heard Triumphant, and reviews, tweets, forums (I guess) love it or not, each its taste.
To me, Mariah wrote a Urban masterpiece, but hey that's me 'cause I really, really love Urban music.  If you don't really like it that's fine, but please stay respectful.....

Mariah Carey Debuts 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)' Single; Talks Upcoming Album
Three years after the release of her last non-holiday full-length opus, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel," Mariah Carey returns with her first single, "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" featuring Rick Ross and Meek Mill.
"Working with Ross and Meek on the same record was incredible," Mariah Carey told media on a conference call today (August 2). "Obviously Ross is a star and everybody loves him. I'm a fan of his music. I really, really wanted to work with him. I love the tone of his voice. I think the contrast of his voice and mine would be something special. I always like to do collaborations that people might think are different."

"Meek adds an excitement, a newness to the record that is pretty rare right now," Mariah continued.

"Triumphant," which Randy Jackson chimed in to say is "inspirational," is the first single off Mariah's 14th studio album. The singer touched on the untitled album while on the call. "I'm collaborating with a lot of my favorite people but the main thing is [that] I'm not trying to follow any particular trend," she said. "I want it to be well received. I want to stay true to myself and the music that I love and make the fans happy."

Mariah also spoke on how she felt of the current state of R&B and its mainstream cross-over, saying "It would be incredible if we can bring back the days where R&B songs didn't have to cross over. It makes me sad that there are so many talented R&B artists that don't get the chance that they should."

If you wanna sing along while listening to Triumphant on Mariah's official site........

note: this is a real love hymn from Mariah to her husband §and indirectly for all people who can relate to that situation)

Triumphant (Get ‘Em)

Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)

They told me get em, I got em,
I swear this word to my father
And the only way to make it to the top
If you go and get it from the bottom
And I ain’t never asked for no hand outs
You won’t carry me, no Mariah
These haters love when I was dead broke
But they ain’t made at me,
I’m on fire and I’m gon’ burn
And I ain’t gon’ learn,
I remember they said that it ain’t my turn
But it ain’t confirmed, then the tables turned
Just look at me now, try to hold me down
But I ain’t gon’ stop, cause I’m gon’ climb
To the mountain top, to the mountain top, now let go

Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the ropes
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down

Path that I choose flashing camera’s as I pose
Throwing big money as she dances on the pole
Lime green Lamborghini dances in the road
License still suspended, no I never stop for tolls
Born slick talker, twice a week shopper
Blow a hundred wreck she don’t know a footlocker
Red bottom boss house big as Baltimore
With a blonde bombshell tryin to bomb with your boy
In the James Bond Beamer chrome wheel two seater
Smoking like Pimp C, spoken like a trill ni**a
On a cloudy day baby I can make it rain
Rubber band, 50 grand bet it brighten up your day
Came from humble beginnings
Then was Hummers and Benzes
Now it’s hundred and millions this is only the beginning
A don, a diva, the bomb achiever
The one believer, the game gets deeper

Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the ropes
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down

Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)

Can’t fall down now, so even when clouds surround you
And everyone seems to doubt you
Baby still know who you are
So you gotta keep on climbing
In spite of the chains that bind you
You can see the mountain top
It’s not too far

Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the rope
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down

Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
(get em, get em, get em)
Stay on your toes get off the ropes
(stay on your toes)
Don’t let em ever count you out
(no, no, no, no)
(get em, get em, get em, get em go)
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
