| Second time's the charm?
Representatives for Mariah Carey, who bailed out of a Sacramento date on her Charmbracelet Tour earlier this year, are apparently testing the waters in Sactown again for a possible December date.

| Breaking news
This news needed to be posted before I leave for London, as I think it's a very important change for Mariah's future, also notice that there's still no official press release. Benny manages J.Lo-to-Mariah move Four months after an acrimonious split with Jennifer Lopez, mega-manager Benny Medina has attached his rocket power to Mariah Carey. But the controversial star-shaper is already ruffling feathers. "He's coming in like Mr. Know-It-All," snipped one source. "Mariah was working on a book deal with HarperCollins. He wanted to kill it because the deal wasn't done by him, and now he's involved." Medina confirmed that his company, Handprint Entertainment, is "consulting on all aspects of Mariah's career." And that includes nixing the deal with HarperCollins. "I guess I am the spoiler," Medina told us. "Mariah had a tremendous idea [for a book]. She was engaged in discussions. But we just decided, based on other opportunities, to table it for now." The superfit 33-year-old, whose "Charmbracelet" sold a million copies, has lots of notes left to sing before she takes a look back, Medina inferred. "What it boiled down to was whether a book was the best use of her time and energy right now," he added. Medina denied claims, also leveled by the snitch, that he was behind diva-esque demands made by Carey during a recent stay in Monaco for the World Music Awards. In four deluxe hotel suites - rented just for her - she wanted fresh flowers throughout, six humidifiers, an exercise bike and special lighting, it was reported. "I wasn't in Monaco," Medina scoffed. "I can honestly say I ordered not one candle, not one flower, not one car." He explained, "Mariah flew over for a day from Germany, at the request of Prince Albert, to receive a lifetime achievement award. She asked for nothing." In July, former client J.Lo launched a $100,000 lawsuit against Medina, claiming she felt "wronged and misrepresented" by the showbiz Svengali, who basically turned her from a lowly Fly Girl into a superstar, with movies, records, clothing lines and endorsement deals. Let's see what he can do for Mariah. Source: NY Daily News (All rights reserved) - IslandYacht at FOMM. Posted on October the 28th. |

| Me-me-me Mariah Carey
MARIAH CAREY — renowned worldwide for being pop’s most demanding diva — has not lost her touch. She arrived in London at the weekend for a two-day promotional tour with a list of requests that put J-LO and BRITNEY in the shade. Mariah checked into the five-star Claridges Hotel and asked for two DVD players for her penthouse suite. Nothing wrong with that, you might think. But staff were stunned when they heard the only DVDs she was interested in watching were ones of herself. She also asked for six de-humidifiers to protect her voice, an extra suite to use as a giant wardrobe and chilled Evian mineral water in “plastic bottles only”. And the unlucky porters had to lug 43 suitcases up to her room plus a trunk full of make-up. A source close to the prima donna said: “Mariah is as well known for her demands and huge entourage as she is for her voice. “Every time she goes abroad, her team have to organise everything down to the smallest detail. The de-humidifiers keep the place warm and protect her from losing her voice. “She never knows what to wear so insists on bringing everything with her. “Most of the hotels she stays in are used to accommodating famous people so it’s rarely a problem.” Mariah’s latest list comes just weeks after she caused havoc with similar requests at the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo.

Articles about Mariah's Glasgow concert: Surprise, surprise, they are mean, insulting and trash!!!! Some of you know me and know that articles like these make me sick, but this time I'll give you the links, but warning, don't read the articles if you just took your breakfast. You know what? I decided to post the links, 'cause I don't want to be only one who vomit  .
A special message to these two journalists: "Be thankful Mariah came to Scotland". Also I thought a journalist was paid to report what he saw from a neutral point of view and not paid to insult people. I will stop now, 'cause I need to calm down. Here are the links guys, enjoy :

| Mariah's checking Scots out
By Rick Fulton MARIAH CAREY is tartan up her image for her first-ever Scottish gig at Glasgow's SECC tomorrow. The world's biggest-selling female singer plans to wear a kilt on stage as well as her usual stunning outfits. And while her fans will be watching her every move, she'll be checking out the front row for a potential boyfriend. Mariah, 33, said: ``It's no secret I'm looking to find a nice man and I think Sean Connery is very sexy. ``This is my first time in Scotland and I've heard Scots men are both sexy and faithful two requirements I want. ``So you Scottish men better be ready I'm going to keep an eye out.'' Mariah's past love affairs with Tommy Mottola and Luis Manuel ended in heartbreak, and after being single for more than two years, she's ready to get back in the dating game. A pal said: ``Mariah is hot property. She is catching everyone's eye again.'' Source: Daily Record (All rights reserved) Posted on October the 24th. |

| Mariah busts the bank at Monte Carlo
Super-rich Mariah blew £28,000 on rooms alone over two nights. Thousands more went on making sure that they were just how she wanted them. The singer flew to the gambling mecca by private jet from Germany on Saturday and checked in to the Hotel de Paris. She had booked the four most expensive suites in the hotel for herself at the cost of £2,000 a night, then added suites for her make-up assistant, hairdresser, wardrobe assistant, manager and two beefy security guards. Before arriving she had insisted on six humidifiers for her suites and all of them to be decked out in fresh flowers. There also had to be a top-of-the-range exercise bike to hand. The lighting had to be changed so that the effect was darker than usual. In fact, lighting requirements appear to have filled Mariah’s weekend. She flew in her own lighting director from the US and told organisers of the awards the flunkey was to be in charge when she was presented with her award last night and later when she performed. And whenever she posed for photographs with fans she insisted on perfect poses before a flash went off. A source at the hotel told me: “We are used to getting some big names passing through our doors but perhaps none as big in the world of pop as Mariah Carey. “There was certainly a fuss over Miss Carey’s arrival at the weekend. “We like to offer our guests the best so no matter what they ask for they will get it — after all, it is their money they are spending.” Mariah attended a sparkling dinner on Saturday then picked up a special gong from Prince Albert at the big bash last night. He handed over the Diamond Award for artists who have sold more than 100million albums worldwide. Mariah told me at the bash: “I’m really honoured. It’s a great award to be able to collect.” I reckon that at the end of the weekend Mariah wasn’t left with much change from £50,000. But she would have been left with enough to get in a celebration round of drinks at local celeb hang-out Jimmy’z — just. The going rate there is £25 a drink.

| Mariah goes mad in Monte Carlo
Pop queen Mariah Carey showed she's still the world's top diva by paying out a fortune to live in luxury for two days during the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco, this weekend (11/12Oct03). Money was no object when it came to making sure everything was just perfect for Mariah's stay in one of the city's top hotels. She paid out $44,000 (GBP28,000) to the Hotel De Paris, Britain's The Sun newspaper reports, ordering the four most expensive suites for herself and then adding others for members of her entourage. The Charmbracelet singer ensured the rooms were perfect by having humidifiers, fresh flowers and an exercise bike brought in. She also issued very specific instructions about the lighting in her suite. A hotel source reveals, "We are used to getting some big names passing through our doors but perhaps none as big in the world of pop as Mariah Carey. "There was certainly a fuss over Miss Carey's arrival at the weekend. "We like to offer our guests the best so no matter what they ask for they will get it - after all, it is their money they're spending."

Mariah on the cover of the Daily Mail Weekend
Inside the Daily Mail (in the October the 11th. issue), there's a magazine called Weekend. On the cover of this magazine there's a beautiful picture of Mariah with this text: "How the world's most successful singer fought back from breakdown, heartache and humiliation". In this mag, very interesting article and pictures on 3 pages. Here are the two quotes which are written in bold: "When I passed out, my mother dialled the emergency services. She didn't understand that you don't do that with a famous person because it creates a scandal" "I wish Jennifer Lopez all the best. It's not worth my time to waste energy on her" Also, there's a very interesting paragraph about her life with Tommy Mottola and why she decided to leave him. Posted on October the 11th. |

| Carey's Man U Mission
She's had a run of bad luck with men but Mariah Carey hopes to rectify the situation by tracking down her ideal mate. The singer has invited the entire Manchester United squad to her concert, part of her four-date UK tour, in the city on November 1. "There's one player she's nuts about," her friend tells us. "But she's not sure if he's single, so she's being careful about making a move. Obviously, if he turns up at the concert without a girl in tow, things will be much easier for her. It's about time she got herself a new boyfriend." "I don't meet any men," she whines. "Where am I supposed to meet them? I'm always surrounded by bodyguards." However, with a glint in her eye, the old romantic predicted: "I'm sure that one day I'll meet the right man." So who is the lucky lad she's so intent on meeting next month? "I'm not saying any more," adds the source. "She'll kill me if I say who he is but it's bound to be obvious when they meet."

This past year found Mariah Carey in some unexpected places: standing next to Dave Navarro covering Def Leppard, playing Caesar's Palace, and singing at the Kremlin, where she recently launched her European tour. Still, perhaps the strangest place of all that Mariah finds herself this fall is back in bed with Sony Music. Due to a leftover,contractual obligation, on Tuesday the label from which the singer parted several years ago will release Mariah Carey: The Remixes, an album whose title says it all. The double CD showcases 22 of Carey's reworked recordings — one disc dance mixes, the other hip-hop. Her bags were packed and ready to go to Moscow, but Mariah managed to squeeze in a few minutes to reflect on The Remixes. John Norris: Although this record is to an extent just a contractual thing, you say it's still something you're excited about. Mariah Carey: I'm excited about it because it was out in Japan first and I got it and I listened to it and it's a really good album. All the hip-hop remixes are there, and then you have the club mixes, so it's a totally unique kind of album. It is a contractual thing, and in a way I'm just like [sighs] "OK, this should've been out four years ago," but I think it's definitely like a collector's item. 'Cause a lot of the remixes you couldn't get in stores, you couldn't buy them. Norris: Do you have a favorite track on either disc? Carey: Well, there's always "Heartbreaker," and we have the So So Def version of "Honey," which is a real favorite of mine. I like the "Fantasy" remix by David Morales 'cause I like how it starts out in one place and takes you to a totally different place. Norris: Another version of "Fantasy" — the one that pairs you with Ol' Dirty Bastard — has become your all-time classic remix. How do you explain the song's enduring popularity? Carey: I think it's the simplicity of the track. It was the first time I worked with Puffy. And he really broke the track down to the basics of that Tom Tom Club loop [from "Genius of Love"]. And I think that there's just a magic to ODB's rhyme — like, there's something about it, and there's something about his voice mixed with my voice that was just so unexpected. And when we do it now onstage and I hear it and we perform it, it still makes me happy. It's still one of those songs that I love. Norris: When it comes to marrying pop and hip-hop, you were way ahead of the game. As disc two illustrates, years before Ashanti met Ja Rule or Beyoncé got "Crazy in Love" with Jay-Z, you were in the studio with the likes of Mase, Da Brat, and Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz. Carey: I just love hip-hop, and I love combining what I can do with what a rapper can bring to a track. Because you can have a track that's really good and that's a hot record and the vocal is nice, but when you put a really good rapper on top of it, it takes it to another level. Norris: Do you like hearing your songs in completely different, reworked ways? Carey: Yeah, 'cause I'm one of the architects reworking it. If I was just someone that just sat back and said, "Go ahead, speed up the vocals. Do what you want. Put 'em in there and do a remix" then that would be one thing. But I have memories of making those records and re-singing every vocal. Norris: And that's something that just wasn't done a decade ago. You pioneered the practice of going into the studio to re-record vocals for remixes, often resulting in songs that were altogether different than the original. Carey: It was something that I wanted to do. It wasn't even something that the label said, "Hey, we need you to go in and do a remix." I was like, "When are we doing the remix?" Norris: Some of the club mixes go back six, eight years. Do you think some sound more dated than others? Carey: I think maybe the club versions do because the style has changed so much and that's less of where my heart lies than with the [hip-hop mixes]. But the cool thing about the club CD ... is its very aerobics moments. [laughs] I do these pool water aerobics and it's like you can put that CD in and don't change it at all 'cause it's perfect for working out. Norris: And finally, this album winds up with your most recent hit, "I Know What You Want" with Busta, a song that really caught fire a few months ago. Carey: You know, sometimes a really simplistic track like that with a melody that's so simple catches on. ... I just love how he sounded, and I think people responded 'cause it was basic and kinda sexy and feel-good. Mariah Carey is on tour in Europe through November 7.

| Woman of words
Richard Johnson with Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson When Mariah Carey had her meltdown, it generated the phrase "pulling a Mariah," and now another celebrity has unwittingly inspired her own new turn of speech. Thanks to her stunningly stupid performance on MTV's reality show "The Newlyweds," Jessica Simpson has now spawned the term "pulling a Jessica" - defined as being stupid, snobby or behaving like a spoiled-brat airhead. The term has already made an appearance with commentators on CNN and is in use on the music insider Web site the velvet rope.

Blur's bassist, Alex James, tells the inside story of the band's adventures, on and off stage, during their first trip to Moscow. I came direct from a beach in Mexico. There was a memo saying "warm clothes" and "remember there are parts of Moscow you really shouldn't go to..." There usually is a musician on the aeroplane you're on. I spotted Marc Almond, and then in the queue for immigration one of the backing singers bumped into Mariah Carey's "head of security"; she arrives in a couple of days and he's come to case the joint. I'm quite impressed, our head of security didn't think of that. Source: Independent (All rights reserved) (extract) Posted on October the 3rd. |

by Tricia Romano Outside, in the smokers' area where seemingly two-thirds of the party had converged, I overheard the words "Mariah Carey" and "breasts spilling out of dress." The speaker was relaying the tale of a lunch date with Miss Carey at the Soho Grand over a potential book deal. It seems that the diva wants to tell her story for her "little lambs." (Normal stars call these people fans.) The book agent said Carey was incredibly nice and much more articulate than she'd expected; it was just the lamb business she found troubling. Thankfully, Carey won't be writing a children's book like that other diva, Madonna. If she does, we have a title: Mariah Had a Little Lamb. Oy vey.
