Diva data: Mariah's playing Gwinnett Arena in Sept
Singer Mariah Carey is apparently the next A-list performer to make a date at the Arena at Gwinnett Center.
While there has been no formal announcement of the event -- yet -- Carey's official Web site indicates that the performer will be taking the stage at the Arena on Sept. 9.

Her camp may have spilled the beans a tad too soon.
"I cannot officially confirm that," said Arena general manager Preston Williams. "In the next week or so we'll be able to talk about it."

The concert is part of Carey's "Charmbracelet World Tour," which is supporting her album of the same name. The Grammy-award winning performer is the only recording artist to have a No. 1 single every year during the 1990s and is the first female artist to have two of her albums reach 10 million each in sales.

Her concert is the latest coup for the Arena.
The 13,0000-seat facility was christened in February with a performance by George Strait followed by Bruce Springsteen. Several other notable acts, such as Coldplay and Avril Lavigne, have either played or are slated to perform at the Arena.

Carey, though, is the first major star since Springsteen to commit.
While Williams wouldn't confirm that Carey will play, he did say that other acts of her stature are close to sealing deals for concerts at the Arena. Announcements, he said, are imminent.
"We're close to several things," Williams said.

Australia: (Thanks MariahDownUnder.com)
As Mariah prepares to embark on her first world tour in years, it has been revealed that despite the eagerness of fans, she will not visit Australia. This was confirmed by Universal Music Australia today. No reason was given and this is all the information we have at this time. We are sorry to have to deliver such disappointing news to Mariah's Australian fan base. In paticular those fans who are still waiting for the return visit promised to them after Mariah cancelled one of her 1998 Melbourne concerts.

Chart news in Australia... In its second week on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Singles Top 50, "Boy (I Need You)" falls 11 places from its #29 debut to #40. This was expected as no airplay really means there's no way it could've risen. The fact it's still in the top 40 is satisfying. Lets hope it can stay in the top 50 for as long as "Through The Rain" did (9 weeks!).

Over on the ARIA Urban chart things a slightly more pleasing. "Boy (I Need You)" debuts at #15 (It wasn't listed last week. Thanks to all who sent emails to ARIA inquiring why.) "Charmbracelet" rises slightly from #35 to #31. While this isn't outstanding, it is an improvement. Sales have improved since the initial post-debut slump.

All the above winners will each recieve a copy of the french single I Know What You Want, they will be send by DHL on 12 May 2003. Congratulations!

Mariah Carey To Kick Off World Tour In June
More than three years since she last hit the road, Mariah Carey has announced the details of an upcoming world tour.

The singer will launch the trek June 24 in Osaka, Japan, and play 10 other dates in Japan before beginning a North American leg July 18 in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Charmbracelet world tour will play at least 20 cities across the U.S., according to an Island Records spokesperson.

After the North American leg, Carey will visit Asia and Europe. A November 4 date in Paris is the only one of those dates so far confirmed.

Tickets in most markets go on sale May 3, although members of Carey's Honey B. Fly fan club, or those who join by end-of-day Friday (April 25), can buy them beginning Monday.

Before her world tour, Mariah will perform at Z100's Zootopia June 1 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, alongside Ja Rule, Ashanti and others (see "TLC To Give Final Performance At New Jersey Concert In June"), she also announced Friday.

Carey is promoting Charmbracelet, which has sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S., according to SoundScan.

Her latest hit, "I Know What You Want," is a collaboration on Busta Rhymes' album It Ain't Safe No More, and sits at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 (see "Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey Steal Page From R. Kelly's 'Down Low' For New Video").

Carey's collaboration with Busta Rhymes, "I Know What You Want," is No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Carey's last outing was in 2000, when she grossed $7.1 million from just nine dates reported to Billboard Boxscore.

OK
Mariah Carey - Will her real lover please stand up
Mariah Carey has denied that she ever got hot and heavy with rapper Eminem and is furious at him for saying so. She has reiterated her claim that he's lying if he says they were together. ' i spoke to him on a regular basis, but it was not a relationship', she say's ' I find it pretty surprising that he would misrepresent something like that.' But during an interview last year, Eminem did say that they'd had a relationship. 'There's truth to that,' he claimed at the time. 'I respect her as a singer, but don't like her as a person. she doesn't really have it all together.' At the time, Mariah's people called the claims 'laughable'. Indeed, Mariah says she hasn't seen anyone since she broke up with Luis Miguel nearly two years ago and has had less than 5 lovers in her entire life. 'I've never had a one night stand or a fling with someone i didn't really know'.

Mariah's after Ant
He might be taken but that's not stopping Ms Carey from lusting after the Geordie lad. Boy she wants you - singer Mariah Carey has fallen for an unusual heartthrob. Antony Mcpartlin, 27, one half of the presenting double act Ant and Dec. On her most recent trip to the UK to promote her new single, the 33 year old met the two geordie presenters of Ant and Dec's saturday night takeaway. She was so smitten that she asked the former Byker Grove star out to a romantic meal at her hotel that night. However, Ant's long term girlfriend, Lisa Armstrong, will be relieved to know that he refused the pop- diva's advances, and didn't join her for dinner - which could well have ended up with the singer having him for breakfast! It was the second time that Mariah - who recently split from rapper 50 cent - had met Ant and Dec. Two years earlier she joined them when they were saying goodbye to SM:tv. She even played a part in thier final Chums sketch on the programme. Both Ant and Dec warmed to the superstar at the time, saying what a good sport she had been.

It's no wonder, however iof she goes chasing after already taken men, that Mariah complains about not having sex for 2 years. She recently claimed she had been celibate since splitting up with her last boyfriend, latin singer Luis Miguel, shortly before her infamous breakdown. Mariah, who has just celebrated her 33rd birthday on the paradise Carribbean island of St Barts, complained 'A lot of people i meet are only interested in me as a notch in thier belt, a celebrity. They don't want to know me as a person.' she said she could count the number of men she had ever slept with on 'less than one hand'. 'I've never had a one night stand in my life or a fling with someone i didn't know' she added. ' Tomorrow i could meet someone and off we'd go, but i doubt it'. We doubt it too, Mariah - especially when you go after men who are already spoken for.

Heat
Mariah is featured in an article about boob jobs. They use a large photo of Mariah on the first page and say she has had them done. However, they used a picture in which Mariah's chest doesn't look as large as it could have done. They could have chosen a worse picture so that's one good thing! They quote Sharon Osbourne's introduction to Mariah at the American Muisc Awards and Mariah's response about the gel filled bras.

"Flop Talk"
Q: Hello Keith,
I was wondering what is considered a "flop?" I just picked up the new Mariah Carey CD ["Charmbracelet"] but I didn't realize that the album is being called a flop. How well has this CD sold? I noticed it wasn't on The Billboard 200, but I thought I had read about a different CD of hers from a movie ["Glitter"] not selling well awhile back. I think this one is really good!

Thank you for the information, I appreciate it!
Brandon James Roberts

A: Hi Brandon,
Everyone has a different definition for "flop." Mariah Carey's latest CD may be viewed as less successful as some of her earlier efforts, but it's certainly doing much better than "Glitter."

"Charmbracelet" (MonarC/Island) has sold 1 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's a good deal more than what "Glitter" has sold thus far. To date, the 2001 Virgin soundtrack has shifted just 573,000 copies.

Carey is current enjoying a top-10 hit on Billboard's Hot 100 with her collaboration with Busta Rhymes, "I Know What You Want." It is No. 8 on this week's chart.

Mariah Vacations Gossip
FORGET Los Angeles, Paris or Milan. If you want to rub shoulders with the stars on holiday make a beeline for Barbados.

The rich and famous have been flocking to the Caribbean island - once again turning it into the coolest place on the planet.

And, in keeping with their extravagant lifestyles, they've been splashing out fortunes on the best flights, hotels and restaurants.

Sexy MARIAH CAREY is the biggest spender - blowing an astonishing £162,000 on a break for herself and 12 flunkies.

The singer, 33, insisted on flying Concorde and staying at an opulent villa for £55,000. She spent another £20,000 on hiring a catamaran and more than £2,500 for lunch for 24 people at the Lone Star restaurant in St James.

Teen People

In addition, check out Gallery 6 for vacation pictures thanks to MariahDownUnder.com from NW magazine with the caption:

"Mariah Carey is looking better than ever, as she reveals here on a friend's yacht off the coast of the Caribbean island of St Barts. After struggling with her health a while back, the 33-year-old diva has clearly returned to peak physical condition. Her feminine figure and healthy glow prove that however Mariah's next album fares, she'll still be in the running for at least one award - the sexiest shape in pop music!"

Mariah's Secret Diet Tips
After years of yoyo dieting and a much-publicised nervous breakdown, Mariah is back looking fitter than ever. Over the years, the singer's weight has fluctuated between 56kg and 70kg. But she's now committed to a healthier lifestyle. Here are some of her diet and fitness secrets...

* When Mariah really wants to get her body into shape, she checks in to exclusive health spas such as the Enchantment Heal Spa in Arizona, where she undertakes intensive training.

* First she hops on the treadmill and bike to get her cardio rate up, then she does stomach crunches, leg-lifts wiith a heavy medicine ball and push-ups.

* Mariah has tried to cut out as much fat as possible from her diet, preferring to eat salads with fish and skinless grilled chicken. For snacks she prefers fruit.

* The singer likes a drop of alcohol, but she's learnt to replace her favourite drink, Cristal champagne, with bottled water and iced tea with a slice of lemon, no sugar. She now only drunks bubbly on special occasions.

* On holiday, when the singer jumps aboard those luxury yachts, it's not all sunbaking. Mariah does long swims and water skis every day to shape her arms and legs.

Mariah's Singapore Concert Delayed
MARIAH CAREY'S CONCERT AT THE PADANG JUNE 11th DELAYED
Mariah Carey's June 11th concert at the Padang is being delayed.

Mariah, with the assessment of her management team, has decided not to proceed with the Singapore concert on the June 11th date after taking into consideration the latest developments of SARS and the fact that there is still a travel advisory recmending no travel to Singapore from both World Health Organization and US State Dept.

The Singapore concert will proceed either in July following her Japan tour, or in November after her European Tour. Her China and Hong Kong tour dates had already been cancelled with Seoul and Singapore pending. The new concert date will be announced on May 5th 2003. Ticket sales are suspended until May 5th 2003. If a re-scheduled date either in July or November is being confirmed, all existing purchased tickets are still valid and ticket sales will continue.

Asian pop superstar Nicholas Tse who had agreed to be the special guest and do a duet with Mariah for the June 11th date is expected to be available for any new date.

In the case that a new date cannot be confirmed on May 5th, all existing ticket holders will be given a full refund, and the concert treated as cancelled since there would be no fixed date for re-schedule.

All existing ticket holders will be contacted via telephone and email to be advised of this development by the time this press release goes to print.

"Boy (I Need You)", the second single lifted from Mariah's latest album "Charmbracelet" has debuted at #29 on the Australian Recording Industry Association singles chart. This debut is quite respectable seeing as it received literally no major airplay.

In what was a massive week of new release singles, Mariah was the fifth highest debut behind Kasey Chambers (#5 - excessive airplay for months), Madonna (#7 - most hyped song of the year), Boomkat (#18 - great airplay for their debut single) and Shakaya (#27 - in-store appearances around the country). Singles by Leanne Rimes, Shawn Desman, Nas and Lil' Kim did not even make the top 50.

Strangely, "Boy (I Need You)" has not been listed on the ARIA Urban singles chart. It is obviously an "urban" song, not to mention it features rapper, Cam'ron. Had it debuted on the Urban chart it would've entered at #11. You can email ARIA and ask them why it's not listed: charts@aria.com.au.

In album news, "Charmbracelet" drops another five places to #35 on the ARIA Urban albums chart. It has not been on the standard album chart for months.

Mariah Defended on "Blues & Soul"
The following article appears on the latest edition of "Blues & Soul" Magazine (April 15-28th - Lisa Maffia on the front cover) in page 42. (Thanks MariahCareyUK.com)

"LL Cool J's "Love U better", Maraiah Carey's "Boy I need you", Whitney Houston's "Whatchulookinat", Toni Braxton's "Hit the Freeway", and TLC's "Girl Talk" would have all been big hits had national radio and more ILR stations supported them. All these tracks made reasonable chart positions with little or no love at national or commercial radio level.

I think that there is a vendetta against Maraiah Carey in the UK and, to be honest, I dont' know why. That egotistic sad case from the Sun was intent on writing about what Mariah had got up to whilst in the country and the week of her release of her current single.

She is persecuted by Mr Mohan because she brought her own chef to cook her a meal of chicken and vegetables. With what is going on in the world today, is that such a crime?

This piece was written by the same man that virtually hung, drew and quartered Mariah for that most ghastly of crimes 'depression'. Yep, because she was depressed, Mr Mohan decided it was his duty to kick her while she was down a couple of years ago and he has not given up in his relentless battle to try and wreck this stunning vocalist's career.

Mariah has been given a ride worse than that of Michael Jackson and R Kelly...and they have both been linked with child sex allegations. You know my thoughts on both of these cases: they have appeared in print on these pages and you know I think these guys will always remain innocent until proven guilty.

But surely what they have been accused of should attract more bad press than 'depression'. I also believe that radio has a hidden agenda against Mariah - had Jennifer Lopez recorded "Boy" with Camron, radio would have been all over it like a rash. Which is rather sad because, although Ms Lopez is good at what she does, it is like comparing Division 1 with the Champions League...there really is no contest!"

Mariah Carey: Bouncing Back
Q: You talk about how you get only a few hours' sleep a night and used to go without it altogether. How does that happen?
A: I learned to say no only this year. I was talking to Oprah Winfrey the other day and she was echoing what I was saying... saying, unless you're in the business or you are famous it's really hard to explain to people because you just dont' get the intensity of living under a microscope 23 hours a day. Magnify that by me being in New York doing a phone interview with Australia in the morning because of the time difference and getting maybe an hour of sleep and getting up and doing a photo shoot and 20 more interviews, then going on TV. It was so intense. Nobody was caring for the human being inside the machine.

Q: You went on Oprah talking about your breakdown. Do you think the general public can relate to it?
A: Well, there was a woman with four kids and she was saying how she was exhausted all the time and after hearing my story she realised she had to make some changes in her life because it's just not healthy. That makes it all worth it. You have to talk about stuff that goes on so the public can understand it, apply my larger-than-life situation to their circumstances. If it has helped one person change their life, then mission accomplished.

Q: You talk about how you have a very special relationship with your fans. Can you describe it?
A: My hardcore fans really did stay with me (during the breakdown). They've always been there for me. I kind of consider them an extended family, which is a strange thing to say because most people don't have that kind of relationship with their fans, but I really do. I think my fans understand me a lot more than the press writing about me. People who follow your every move and understand inside jokes get it.

Q: You have had a lot of control over your music. Do you think the Glitter movie went wrong because you handed over that control?
A: I was naive in assuming it would be a similar process because it was an idea I brought in. But they changed writers in the middle of the movie because it was going too edgy, which is what I wanted, something with some substance to it. But everything happens for a reason. I did an independent movie right after that, Wisegirls with Mira Sorvino, which was really edgy. My character was a drug-dealing waiter. We went to the Sundance Film Festival and got great reviews, a standing ovation. That was a great moment of validation. I'd just come out of a horrible experience and then got to feel a different side of the movie business. I have other independent projects in the works, to showcase that I do like to do character roles, I don't need to just be a singer to be accepted. I always wanted to do independent, edgy roles, but people were saying it was too controversial and might harm my career, or they'd say nobody will be able to look at you as other than anything but Mariah Carey the singer.

Q: Toni Braxton recently came out and gave your credit for mixing diva R&B with hip-hop way before it became cool.
A: Yeah, I saw that, that was nice of her. I love hip-hop. I grew up on hip-hop in New York. I experienced the birth of hip-hop. It's organic for me. But people don't understand. Take Dream Lover. It's a cute little pop song, but it's based on a sample of a record called Blind Alley which has been used by so many rappers just freestyling - Ain't No Half Steppin' by Big Daddy Kane for one. The average public hears Dream Lover and has no clue. But Q-Tip said to me, "You realise you're a catalyst for what's happening in music right now. You used Blind Alley, you sang over that loop." It takes someone knowledgeable about old school hip-hop to know that. I love ballads, they're therapy for me. But doing Boy I Need You with Cam'Ron or You Got Me with Jay Z, that's part of me too.

Q: You recorded with Justin Timberlake for Charmbracelet but didn't use it on the album. Why?
A: We didn't get it finished in time, so it'll have to be a remix. It's actually really nice. It'll come out.

Q: You've also covered a Def Leppard song, Bringin' on the Heartbreak. Is there a rock chick inside you trying to get out?
A: That's the smallest part of me, but when I love a song and I'm passionate about it, I think a song can stand up to any arrangement. I did love that song when I grew up.

Q: Does it bother you that your past few albums haven't sold as well as previous releases?
A: What matters is expressing myself creatively, feeling as if I've put everything I have into my music. Obviously it matters to maintain a level of success, but the one message that comes across on the album is hope and faith, celebrating life and not taking it for granted.

Q: You've never been an artist who tours a lot. Will that change with this record?
A: I'll definitely tour this album, but I have to conceptualise the show. I'm itching to get back on stage.

RPN have had the pleasure to ask the team of Widelife questions about working with Mariah Carey. They have been kind enough to reveal opinions and spend time answering questions. Below are highlights from a very informative interview:

Q: What do you think of mariah?
A: What can you say about Mariah… she has one of the most undisputed voices of our era. Working on “the one” remix is an opportunity we could not have forseen a year ago. Mariah has always supported the dance scene through her illustrious collaborations with David Morales, amongst others, and to be given the opportunity to be part of that history is truly an honor.

Q: What do you think of the track the one?
A: Ironically enough this song really touched home, making the project even more meaningful for us. The message contained within is something that all of us have gone through at one time or another. It is one of the strongest songs on the album and should do well when released.

DJ Mariah? Singer May Spin Discs
Mariah Carey may be expanding her career horizons — she's thinking of becoming a radio host and disc jockey.

Carey is in talks with Infinity Broadcasting to have a show — most likely a weekly one — on the new Blink 102.7 in New York. This is the station previously and famously known as WNEW-FM, which Infinity relaunched last week to much excitement.

Mariah would pre-tape the shows, but would take questions from fans on the air. This would seem like a good outlet for the fan-sensitive star, who calls her followers "lambs" and issues them regular audio announcements on her web site.

Mariah would be the biggest star of all the celebrities Infinity's John Sykes and Andy Schuon have signed up to steer the new station. They already have Linda Lopez — J-Lo's sister — and Booker, both personalities from entertainment TV, and a real-life couple as well, to co-host their morning show.

But the station won't be able to have Lopez and Carey in the same studio at the same time. Carey will never forget how J-Lo stole music from Carey's Glitter project for her own album.

Mariah, by the way, has a hit singing with Busta Rhymes on his new single, "I Know What You Want."

'GQ' Article
Pop History tells of Mariah Carey's River Deep, Mountain High. In Mariah Carey's world everything was always gigantic: she had the biggest hits (Without You), the most unbelievable flops (Glitter) as well as suffering the most catastrophic nervous breakdown in the Showbusiness. For more than one year she was overtaken by that life, now she is back, and radiating again. For GQ she placed her self before the camera of the photographer Richard McLaren, where she represented the history of the Pop Music. Decade for decade, float for float, feeling for feeling. Critics, who bashed her, will realize : Mariah Carey is again at the top of Pop.

Q: Ms. Carey, I am honered, to speak with you. I am a big fan.
A: Thank You, I'm very glad to hear that. I'm happy to be here as well.

Q: I admit however: Many of my friends dislike your music, respectively, because it's too cheesy. I always tell them "What is a disadvantage about expressing your feelings?"
A: Naturally nothing - The soul is always concerned with feelings.

Q: Nevertheless, they, and I still think you have the best voice in the world.
A: You are very kind to me. How do your friends react when you support me like this.

Q: They say, I should also dislike your music, but I never would.
A: Ha! I really don't believe that you can convince these boys to like my music.

Q: What must you do, to sound like you do ?
A: I only can take two days to relaz and rest my voice, between work. Also, it is important to eat healthy, get enough sleep… and best not to give any interviews. Being a singer is a very hard job, you must discipline yourself, and only people with a strong will can do that. Since my 18th birthday, I live almost like a competitive athlete.

Q: Are you constantly enjoying, and partying, as a famous TV quote: "sex and drugs and skirt ’n’ roll" Is that why you had a breakdown?
A: In the opposite. My Ex-husband Tommy Mottola worried that I functioned my whole life like a machine. I put out my first record at 18, the first number-one-hit at20. Then almost every year an album or a world tour. I wasn't aware of the word 'rest'. Monthly I worked 20 hours in a day. Also, It would happend that I flew within 24 hours from Paris to London to Madrid in order to give interviews or to appear on television. I always had 15 people around me, that always expected too much of me. Believe me: if I had a free minute in my life, I would slept immediately.

Q: No sex? No skirt ’n’ roll? At least a little joke?
A: Only so much how my husband allowed.

Q: Now however it, you are known to have a party reputation; and since you joined the record company DefJam under contract, you are regularly invited to all the parties, and you are named the rappers "girl". Additionally, it's rumored that you host the best Hip Hop parties of the city in your house. Is that true ?
A: I know nothing of this. Maybe when I'm not there, haha. No, really, I live in an apartment, how could I ?

Q: Too bad, I though I would stop once.
A: Unfortunately these parties will not find place in my apartment. Sorry, this rumor is totally false.

Q: Yet more rumors: Have you've slept with Eminem?
A: We are very FAR from the truth, it never happened.

Q: That you don't usually wear underwear.
A: That a journalist must be crazy.

Q: Therefore you do wear underwear?
A: Yes! Of course. I wear totally normal underwear, just as any other women.
