Woman goes from fun-loving tourist to fund-raiser By Lisa Chamoff Norwalk -- For years, Deborah Castillero went to Panama to visit family and vacation at the San Blas archipelago -- a group of about 300 islands in the Caribbean and a popular destination for European tourists. About two years ago, the Norwalk woman was staying on the island of Nalunega when she came across a tiny church. After speaking with the pastor, she discovered it was established by Christian missionaries for the Cuna Indians, native Central Americans who live on the islands. Castillero sat in on the services and spent time with the Cuna children, speaking Spanish with them. Shortly after she returned home, she received a telephone call from the pastor, who told her several of the Cuna children had died, mainly because the water they drank was not properly filtered for bacteria. The Cuna live without electricity or running water. "I just got the sense that I couldn't just go there as a tourist any more," Castillero said. "I had to do something to help them." Since then, Castillero has been collecting donations of over-the-counter medicine, school supplies and clothing for the Cuna. She is trying to raise $40,000 to install a water filtration system. A concert Castillero organized Friday night at the First Cathedral in Hartford, featuring the Christian hip-hop group The Cross Movement, helped to raise money for the project. Castillero has been back to San Blas several times, visiting several of the islands and bringing a guitar for the church in Nalunega, and medicine such as Tylenol. There are no hospitals and the nearest doctor is a 2-mile canoe trip away, she said. "I don't want to go down there to modernize that place," Castillero said. "I don't want to change their culture or their customs. I just want to be able to bring them something simple, like clean water and electricity." Castillero's 10-year-old son, Joshua Blair, has visited the islands with his mother and played with the Cuna children. Joshua, who will enter fifth grade at King & Low-Heywood Thomas School in Stamford, has spoken at schools and churches in Fairfield County about the Cuna and organized donations at his school. He even convinced singer Mariah Carey, whom his father knows from his job as an executive at Columbia Records, to make a donation. "I have a big heart for the Cunas, and once I understood how they lived I felt bad for them and I just wanted to help them more," Joshua said. He has made a friend, a Cuna child named Ricky, and visited his family. "When I walked into their house, I saw they didn't have electricity, they were sleeping in hammocks," Joshua said. "They eat fish and sometimes they get rice, and that's it. I couldn't imagine eating fish and just rice every day. I wouldn't make it." Castillero and Joshua were to leave yesterday for Panama along with the pastor of the New Life Christian Fellowship in Darien, Elayne Cassara, and her 6-year-old son. They will bring flip-flops, school supplies, a puppet stage and puppets for the Cuna children. Cassara said she is excited to learn about the Cuna and expose her son to the culture. "I really want him to experience how children live who are less fortunate than he is," Cassara said. Despite their lack of comforts, the Cuna children are like many others he knows from home, Joshua said. "Sometimes we just chase each other around or play tag, or play baseball," Joshua said. "They're not sad or anything. They're happy." Source: The Advocate (All rights reserved) Source for the picture: Panama's Cuna Indians (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 26th.

Gig: Westlife By Beth Pearson Only four months after their fans carefully cut Bryan's face out of their posters, Westlife are back. Early reports suggest he isn't too sorely missed, but his departure not only reduces the average height of the band, it cuts their stage presence by at least a fifth (Bryan used to be a bit bigger; see OK! magazine for diet tips). This burning issue is second only to that of whether the whole Westlife enterprise can be dragged out any longer. True, their cover of Barry Manilow's Mandy had black-metal fans singing along, but that was just a tiny moment that roused an otherwise ballad-fatigued nation. After all, where does any band go after duetting with Mariah Carey? Source: The Herald (All rights reserved) Kinou's moment: Wow, very good analyse Beth, I'm really impressed, mmm let me think... with who were YOU duetting again...?  William Shakespeare?  Sorry for you dear, I'm in a very good mood and you can't hurt me today .

A US fan got a really great idea to promote Mariah's upcoming album, please if you live in the US, take part . Pass the Promotion The Pass the Promotion project will take anywhere from one to two weeks to complete, but MONTHS to put together.  Let me explain it. Lambs, we will drive from L.A. to New York City to promote Mariah's new album.  We will decorate our cars and drive.  There will be one banner that travels from LA to NYC.  Probably a magnetic one, so it is easy to put on and take off.  There will be pass and pick up points throughout the United States.  The banner and the final car will reach New York City on the day of the album release. Click here to see the approximate route for the banner to pass through. If you live along those highyways, and would like to help promote the new album please let me know.  Either post on here or email me at mymusicbox931@hotmail.com What's wrong? You don't live along those highways?  Well you can still help!  You can still paint your windows with car window paint and promote her right there in your hometown as you go about your daily tasks.  By hitting smaller towns and cities, she is getting MORE publicitiy.  We need to promote her in the cities she can't get to.  Like all of those mom and pop towns! The label needs help promoting her, and who better to help them than her loyal fans?  We can have more than one car traveling at the same time.  For example 2 or 3 cars can travel across the same state, or 100 cars!!  The number is UNLIMITED!!  The more the better! I am going to get in touch with MonarC to find out the US release date.  So when I find that out, that is when the drive start and end date will be set. There will also be check in points to make sure that the banner is making it's way across the US successfully. Who is with me?! Source: Amy by e-mail. Posted on July the 23rd.

Drug laws to get rapped By Lloyd Grove Security will be so tight during next month's Republican National Convention that protesters will be kept blocks away from Madison Square Garden - out of sight and out of mind for President Bush and his co-partisans. But hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons - with the AIDS activist group Still We Rise, the New York Civil Liberties Union and other like-minded folks - has somehow managed to obtain a permit to march right up Eighth Ave. to the Garden, on the convention's opening day, Aug. 30. There they'll stage a rally against the so-called Rockefeller Drug Laws, Simmons told me, noting that he expects to be joined by Sean (P. Diddy) Combs, Jay-Z, the Beastie Boys and Mariah Carey. Their target: Gov. Pataki, who Simmons claims is stopping the Legislature from correcting inequities in the laws that mandate harsh sentencing by judges. "I'm saddened and I'm disappointed and I'm heartbroken that the governor is now seen as the stumbling block to fixing the situation," Simmons said. "These are the most severe drugs laws in the country - and they're insane and unjust."  Simmons continued: "Ninety-four percent of the people who go to jail under the laws are black and brown and poor. There's a lot of prosecutorial discretion, but there's zero judicial discretion." Simmons, who last year was sued by the state Lobbying Commission for his anti-drug-law advocacy (which the commission said was lobbying that required Simmons to register), defended his efforts as free speech. "I spent $600,000 on lawyers to fight this, so please make it clear that I'm not lobbying anybody, I'm just giving my opinion as an American citizen," Simmons stressed. Also on hand for the protest will be Russell's older brother, Danny, who helps run the RUSH Philanthropic Arts Foundation. In 1973, when he was a 21-year-old New York University student and the Rockefeller laws were new on the books, Danny Simmons was prosecuted in an FBI sting for conspiracy to possess an ounce of cocaine. Faced with a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life - for letting undercover FBI agents into a dorm to buy drugs from another student - Danny copped a plea and spent 18 months in prison.

We will not be silenced. The March on New York is going down. It will be the illest march in history."

We are saying 'no' to the war in Iraq and 'yes' to a war on poverty and ignorance in America. Hip-hop is about spitting truth in the face of injustice." I wonder if Mariah will attend this March ."

Afterward, the action moved to Gustavino's under the 59th St. Bridge, where the party was so jolly that it spilled out onto the plaza.

Last week, Mariah's friend Jasmine promised to publish news about the trip she made with Mariah in Richard Bronson's private island, Necker Island.  I posted the whole article, 'cause Jasmine is too funny . Jasmine's Juice By Jasmine Dotiwala I am truly blessed! I’ve just spent the past week at Sir Richard Branson’s private place in the Caribbean – the very isolated Necker Island. It took three plane rides and two boats to get there but, trust me, it was totally worth it.  A huge Virgin logo-ed boat arrived at Tortola’s Beef Island, near Antigua, to pick me up, and on arrival Sir Richard himself was standing on the beach waiting to greet me.  As the boat slid up the sandy beach, he yelled to me: “Welcome to Necker! I don’t want you to get your feet wet, so just jump on my back.”  Horrified that he would expect me to straddle his back after having only made his acquaintance a couple of times in the past, I declined. But he’s not businessman of the decade and well-known ladies’ man for nothing. “No – I insist,” he said, so I began my mad week on Sir Rich’s back.  Mariah Carey and I had arrived simultaneously and were required to quickly change into all-white clothes for Richard’s “all-white beach party”, which was under way.  Joining us were Richard’s wife Joan, his gorgeous model son Sam and sweet training-to-be-a-doctor daughter Holly. Also present were 20 of Sam and Holly’s university friends. It was lavish with silk cushions scattered around the sunset-lit beach and the choice of drinks was mimosas.  Myself, Mariah, Mariah’s choreographer Rachael and friend Karen were all put up in Bali-Hi, which was just stunning. It’s a three-tiered Balinese fashioned house with its own plunge pool, huge outdoor kitchen, dining room and lounge with lovely princess-like bedrooms.  The open-air lounge was a bit unnerving at night, but it’s at the top of a cliff so the panoramic hillsides, ocean and beach below were spectacular.  We had to use the craziest bathroom ever. It was an actual room cut out of the cliffside with no fourth wall, so you’re showering and sh***ing in the open air, with a view of the whole ocean. So now all the wildlife on Necker have seen my butt and other bodily parts. I guess that’s one toilet that never needs air freshener!  One night there was a steel and reggae band, so we were able to teach the posh folk how to “blasé, row de boat and do the dollar dance”. After dinner on a couple of evenings Richard took us to his rooftop to lie on the outdoor beds and watch shooting stars light the sky. Heavenly. We also indulged in some religious and spiritual conversations on the rooftop – how adult of us! He informed us that in the past he’d also had Peter Gabriel, Princess Diana and Janet Jackson out there, so we were in good company. I, in turn, informed him how his record label V2 was doing and educated him on V2’s new signing Est’elle.  Then July 4 came around so Mariah showed us Brits how to celebrate Independence Day in style with a huge red-white-blue dinner and an amazing fireworks display. As if that wasn’t enough I was treated to numerous exclusive listens to Mariah’s new music, which is gonna blow up.  My favourite track is possibly going to be titled To The Floor, which is where I’m headed now to recover from my astounding adventure!

P. Diddy's Got a Brand-New Beat Sean "P. Diddy" Combs launched a voter-turnout campaign yesterday in a push to make politics sexy and fashionable among minorities and young folks. It's called Citizen Change, a ho-hum name that doesn't exactly validate Mr. Diddy's bad-boy image. No wonder the stylin' item among activists who attended his New York media event, complete with DJ and flashing lights, was his new T-shirt bearing a more direct command: "Vote or Die."  Vowing to use his "God-given talents" as a marketer, hip-hop impresario and fashion trendsetter, Combs has assembled a team of strategists, most with ties to the Democratic Party, including James Carville, to roll out the campaign. The Post's Michelle Garcia reports that Combs's "coalition of the willing" includes Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, Ellen DeGeneres and Mariah Carey, who will make TV appearances. Combs wouldn't reveal how much the effort will cost, but said, "It's a lot more than I thought."  He also issued a plea for Republicans to join the nonpartisan campaign, saying RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie has expressed interest. "We have the power to make things cool, hot and sexy, from the clothes we wear to the bling we buy," Combs told the crowded auditorium. And politics is no different, P. Diddy declared. (Except politicians rarely say "bling.")  Source: Whashington Post (All rights reserved) Source for the picture: Getty Images (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 21st.

Bridal suit gets to the point Wedding couture queen Vera Wang's clients are walking on pins and needles — literally. Two women have filed a lawsuit claiming they had to undergo surgery after pins punctured their feet while they were trying on Wang's wedding gowns. Lawyer Max D. Leifer, who is representing perforated plaintiffs Melissa Brennan and Alexandra Harwin, told Page Six's Tom Sykes: "In each case, a needle got into their foot and a part of it broke off and traveled into the foot. They needed surgery and were on crutches for six weeks." Leifer said each woman is seeking about $75,000 from Wang, and they sued because Wang's insurers had taken a "negative attitude" toward their injuries. Wang is apparently taking pains to make sure none of the city's other affianced social types get speared. Spies at her Madison Avenue boutique report a "big sign" now in the fitting rooms asks customers to wear shoes while trying on gowns. Wang, who has designed frocks for Uma Thurman, Sharon Stone and Mariah Carey, didn't return calls.

A Golden Voice Commands Ski Trips, Wardrobe Fixes, a Mogul's Love and Filthy Piles of Cash Her eight-octave voice is in the Guinness Book of World Records, but there's so much more to Mariah Carey than her chart-topping vocal cords. Where to start? How about her penthouse worth $9 million, or her 500 pairs of high heels, or even her a $2,500-a-day habit of looking beautiful. This heartbreaker is living large as a pop diva should, but you'd never guess to what extreme! Our new episode, It's Good to Be Mariah Carey, premiering July 18 at 10:30 p.m., lifts the lid on her days of luxury. Before this songbird raked in millions in album sales, Carey lived a humble life. She shared a one-bedroom apartment, unfurnished except for a mattress on the floor. Carey also worked as a waitress and coat-check girl for $7,000 a year, while dishing out her music demos to anyone who would take one. Finally, a demo landed in into the hands of music-biz honcho Tommy Mottola, and the rest is money-minting (and romantic) history. With a fairy-tale wedding, hit records and sold-out concerts, Carey became a megamillionaire with a jet-set life to match. There's the 10-day, $100,000 ski getaways at Aspen's St. Regis resort. (This ski bunny only wears Chanel when she hits the slopes.) There's also the $600,000 piano formerly owned by Marilyn Monroe that no one is allowed to even touch. And if you're Carey, it even pays to get fired. You won't believe how many millions she was given to leave her record label. And that's the warm up. Tune in to find out why Carey's first nickname was Mirage; how much she's willing to shell out keeping her dogs sleeping soundly; and how many times a day she changes her outfits. Designer clothes, expensive wines and courtside seats at Lakers games. Don't doubt that it's really, really good to be Mariah Carey. Source: E!

Carey Lands Diva Role In Dash Movie Singing superstar Mariah Carey has filmed a cameo role as a disgruntled diva in Damon Dash's forthcoming movie State Property II. The Roc-A-Fella Records boss is starring in, producing and directing the crime drama sequel to his 2002 film State PropertY, about three gangsters fighting to control the streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - which Dash has dubbed "an urban Snatch". And despite reports over the years suggesting Carey is demanding and difficult to work with, Dash insists she was very down-to-earth and professional. Dash explains, "She's very professional. Didn't complain. It's not the biggest movie. She didn't have the biggest trailer. It was cold. She just weathered the elements. She was a real trooper." The hip-hop mogul, who used to be engaged to late singer Aaliyah, met up with the Honey hitmaker after she returned from her world tour. Dash says, "I was telling her I was doing a movie and she said, 'Where's my part?' "She said, 'Just make sure I look good.'" When Carey arrived on set in Yonkers, just outside New York City, Dash said, "She had the whole world in a tizzy".  Source: Teenmusic (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: Can't help it , but everytime I read Dame Dash's name, only one thing pops up in my head: "Shut up Dame" .

If you copy this news, credit Heroes of Mariah, dammit. Olympic theme song The news that Mariah could sing the Olympic Anthem is spreading very fast all around the world.  What surprises me is that all these news are refering to the Olympic Anthem and not to the Olympic theme song which is more frequently sang by celebrities. Also, we don't have any news of what kind of song it could be.  We already know that in 2002 the Athens Olympic Committee asked to George Michael to write the theme song for the 2004 games, remember that George Michael is born in London from Greek parents and his real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.  So, will Mariah sing a George Michael song at the 2004 Olympic Games?  Wait and see.
