Mariah Sends "Special Package to fan!
Okay you live in Spain, yesterday you get an unaddressed package from someone. You open it up and see a CTTA Single, a Rainbow Album and an autograph! What do you do? Scream really loud in excitement and that's exactly what Minerva did. Minerva has met Mariah in Spain twice and given her letters and such. So, when she was writing up the Double Rainbow Contest Autographs, she wrote one for Minerva too! How sweet Mariah is! Here is what Minerva told me herself and the autograph is below:
Hi Reg!!!! How are ya? Hope great!
OMG!!! I still can't believe what has happened to me today!!!!!! I got a package from the Unite States and I thought that was your package but soon I realized I was wrong and I became really, really surprised! OMG!!!!!! It was a package from New York. Then I openned it and I could not believe what my eyes were looking at. It was a Mariah's autograph, yeah, you hear me right and it was also dedicated to me!!!. It says: "To Minerva Thanks for all your support! Love + Thanks, Mariah".
Reg! as soon as I looked at it, I started to cry a lot because I had
never thought that Mariah could do that for me!! Then, I realized that it was a present she wanted to do for me. there was also an American Rainbow's album and the 'Can't take that away' single inside the package, the one with the song 'Love Hangover'. THe package was sent last July, 18th but I got it today. Now, I'm complete sure that Mariah ha read all the letters she has got from me and I have to thank you and Anja because Mariah has read some of my letters thanks to you both. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Bits O' Information
Here is some various news I have gotten:
hey REH-GINA,
THIS IS MIKEY, AND I GOT SOME PRETTY GOOD NEWS, FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS I'VE HEARD "CTTA" ON A VERY POPULAR RADIO STATION HERE IN SAN DIEGO (JAMIN' Z90) IT PLAYS EVERYDAY USUALLY AROUND NOON. THAT'S SO COOL, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THE SINGLE. OH WELL JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE.
It's not that exciting, but Mariah's former make up artist, Billy B. was on a show on MTV today called "Mission Makeover", so they mentioned how he's done her make up before, and showed a short scene from the Dreamlover video.
Regina, I have some tidbits you may like to know for your news.
1)William Shatner who does the commercials for priceline.com says a few lines from the theme to "Mahogany" and the pianist plays the song in the background.
2)In the current issue of YM, Britney Spears article says she is coming out with her own line of Britney Jeans (maybe mariah's?)
3)On the 15 freeway going south, the last city beofre crossing the san diego county line is named Rainbow with a pop. of 5,000.
4) On SNL weekend update Colin Quin makes fun of Tommy Matolla in a news article.
"Mattel plans on coming out with a new Barbie in which she has bendable legs and can wear a midriff. She also has a new boyfriend coming out named Tommy Matolla."
Britney Beats Mariah
Well Hannah told me the following:
Hey Regina! How are you doing ?So I was just listening to Z100 and the 5:30 entertainment "sleeze" came on with Danielle Manero. They were talking about the auction on yahoo and how they have celebrity jeans being auctioned. They then said that they have jeans from Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Gillian Anderson and more. They said that Mariah's jeans were only being auctioned for 500 currently and that Britney's jeans were the most expensive.
Hannah checked the website on the how the Jeans were doing and yesterday, MC was at $680 and Britney's jeans were at $3,010,000. Wow, that's a big difference!
Mariah Carey a Legacy
Marc (Webmaster of Mariah Dreams of Butterflies) found an article yesterday on Compuserves Story of the Day, which is about MC!
Carey was surrounded by music as a youth, as her mother, Patricia, was her vocal coach and an opera singer. Her family was of mixed heritage, and sadly, had experienced unfortunate incidents of bigotry and prejudice over the years. In part, these pressures caused her parents to divorce when she was 3 years old. After the divorce, Carey's mother discovered her daughter's noteworthy level of vocal ability and her nurture this incredible talent.
By the time Carey reached junior high, she was writing her own songs, and upon reaching high school, she traveled to, and later moved to, Manhattan to further study her craft. To help pay her bills, Carey worked in a multitude of jobs, including as a waitress and coat checker, but the talented star has come a long way during the past decade. She has taken the world by storm with her incredible vocal talents, shattering industry records and receiving countless honors for her efforts.
Now Carey plans to take on the acting world! In 1999, she made a brief appearance as an opera singer in "The Bachelor," but Carey's next big-screen outing will be a much larger one, when she stars in the upcoming motion picture "All That Glitters." In a story reportedly conceived by Carey--and one that, in some ways, could be viewed as mirroring her own life experiences--the film is set against the background of the New York club scene where a singer (Carey) overcomes great childhood adversity to climb the ladder of success.
Halle Berry's fiancé, soul singer Eric Benet, will be making his feature film acting debut as--you guessed it--a singer opposite Carey in the production. Other performers include rap star "Da Brat," who portrays Carey's sister, and actresses Valarie Pettiford and Tia Texada. The film, directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall of "Gridlock'd," is currently shooting in Toronto and is being positioned for a March release.
Reports suggest that Carey will launch a worldwide tour following the film's release to support the project and its soundtrack, which should come as welcome news for the millions of fans whose lives have been deeply touched by the challenges and triumphs of the biggest-selling female artist of the 1990s.
TV y Novelas
JoseAR95 told me that MC is in the Spanish issue of this Spanish Magazine. It's a pic of her and Luis and it talks about them breaking up, which is NOT true!
National Enqurer TV
I usually don't report this tabloid tv information but this time, they were nice to Mariah! Ashley and Liz told me more about it:
Hi I was watching National Enquirer Tv today and Mariah was on it twice. One part was about how tommy is responsible for her successful career off but then they pointed out that mariah is still successful and they're divorced.
They also had her on a part where they showed a picture flashback and u had to guess who it was. I was like its mariah from like 8th grade! =)
i watched National Enquirer Tv this morning and Mariah was on it TWICE! the first time they said that in the middle of her career when she was still married to Tommy that lotz o ppl thought she sold so many records because she was with him but then they said that currently Mariah and Tommy are divorced and Mariah has had more no. 1's and is selling just as much records as when she was with him possibly even more, then they were having a star flashback and they showed MC's 8th grade picture! i got so excited and i taped the whole thing!

Mariah Mission!Okay guys, Matt and fellow MC fans in Australia need our help. Matt called Sony today and was told that AAO will not be released as a single without more airplay, because at the moment it has NONE! So, recently we got AAO to #1 in Hungary and now, we must get AAO on the Australian charts so the fans can get MC's single and can help out Mariah's sales for the single. SO, what can we do? Request like heck...
Here are the places/emails to request the song:
(*Note- don't use an obviously non-Australian email address, free servers such as hotmail are great to send requests from because your location isn't revealed)

(in the suburb field use the name of an Australian capital city such as Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, or Adelaide - although a city is not a suburb, it makes it look as though you are an Australian citizen. Use any FOUR digits for the postcode)

Bits O' Information
Here is some various news and tidbits I was sent:
Last night (aug 28th) I was watching t.v at around mid-night and VH1's show 20 to 1 was on. I decided to check it out and they were counting down the top 20 teen idols and I think number 11 was Boyz II Men and they were showing the hits that they sang and the last clip they showed was of them and Mariah singing "One Sweet Day" as I was watching it they showed a pretty good clip of Mariah singing her part. I just wanted to let you know that.
hey i have an MC story to share! i dont know if this is the right place to send it, but here it is! I was watching tv the other day, i was in such a bad mood because my crush of 4 years called me a bitch, so i was depressed!! well i saw a commercial, as i was lying down crying. I heard the song "Do you know where your going to."(its on the cd valentines from MC of course!) well i heard that song, and i heard MC singing it, i dont even know what the commerical was for, but i instantly felt better! MC ALWAYS does that to me! thats why i love her! well hope ya'll liked my story! bye*bye
i don't know if you saw, but i was watching Access Hollywood's 10 biggest people in 2000 (or something like that) show and Faith Hill was #7 and they mentioned that she sang with great singers at divas 2000 like diana ross and Mariah Carey
Mariah was on a show tonight on VH1 called VH1 confidential. It was about stars who are stalked by obsessed fans. It only showed a picture of her tho. People like that scare me!
hey i just wanted to let you know that on Ally McBeal yesterday they played I'll Be There. Mariah wasn't singing it but it was the cover that Mariah did. I also wanted to mention that when you said that someone was singing I'll Be There for the graduation it wasn't Mariah's original song but it was probably sang the way Mariah produced it so she deserves credit.
Today in the morning, i was passing through channels and i stoped at FoX network at the show "National Enquirer Tv" which is at 11 0'clock. And they showed the previews tomorrow, and Mariah is going to be on it. They showed her and Tom Arnold asking "Did these stars sleep their way to the top?!) When I saw that I could not believe it! I was so mad, so i want to watch that tomorrow, Wednesday, to see what they say about Mariah.
hey there i was watching oprah and they showed a little piece of Mariah Whitney and Oprah, only Oprah and whitney were talking removing spots.
Hey I was at the mall today and over the loud speaker in the main part of the mall they were playing Can't Take That Away! I was so excited! =)

Mariah and Britney undress for MS
Muning sent me this next article that discusses the fact that Mariah gave a pair of her jeans up for charity! She also signed them, "Love Always Mariah!"
Mariah Carey may not give you the shirt off her back, but you can have her jeans. The singer, along with Britney Spears, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Claudia Schiffer, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Danny DeVito, Drew Barrymore, Harrison Ford, Hugh Jackman, Kevin Costner and Warren Beatty, will participate in the Undress for MS-- Yahoo!® Celebrity Jeans Auction. The auction kicked off today on Yahoo! Inc.
More than 70 celebrities autographed and donated their jeans to be auctioned on Yahoo! Auctions, one of the largest, globally-branded free auction sites on the Internet, to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Southern California chapter. All monies raised will be dedicated to finding a cure for MS and to promoting and providing critically-needed programs and services to individuals living with the condition.
Through the campaign, people can jump into the celebrity jean pool and raise awareness and funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Southern California Chapter by bidding on signed, well-worn celebrity jeans and/or apparel on Yahoo!® Auctions (http://auctions.yahoo.com).
People can also send online greeting cards with images of selected pairs of signed jeans to friends and family from Yahoo!

Arista Joins With Jam, Lewis!
Iriad sent me the following article which mentions Mariah in it. You can check it out yourself by clicking here and here is the article below:
NEW YORK (AP) - Arista Records has made a three-year deal with Grammy-award winning producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to distribute, promote and market the duo's Flyte Tyme Records.
Jam and Lewis, who are responsible for most of Janet Jackson's chart-topping recordings as well as hits from artists including Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, will produce music for Arista artists, Arista President Antonio ``L.A.'' Reid said.
In addition, artists will be signed to Flyte Tyme and marketed by Arista. ``What I'm building is a music machine. I'm bringing in as many great producers as I can. We can find great songs for great artists - that's the key to success,'' Reid said on Tuesday.
Reid was recently installed as Arista's president, replacing company founder Clive Davis. Davis left after Arista's corporate parent, BMG Entertainment, enforced its mandatory retirement policy. The 67-year-old Davis last week announced the creation of a new record label, J Records, with BMG. Arista is home to such superstars as Whitney Houston and Carlos Santana.

Singer who LOVES Mariah!
Here is what Ryan told me:
This is just a small bit of something I stumbled upon and I thought it would be nice to mention at least . I don't know if most people have heard of Coco Lee but she is an Asian singer that recently made her debut in the States. Ms. Lee mentions that her one of her top influences is Mariah and included a host of other fine singers as well. It was cool to see.. What is of note is that she is an accomplished artist and singer in her own right, teaching
herself Mandarin and writing most of her music. I believe her first language was English. She can speak English, French, Cantonese, and Mandarin. What is intersting is that she is an American Citizen of Chinese descent but only in the outside does she have high polualrity. Only recently she decided to bring it back home. If I am not mistaken I believe she is of mixed heritage as well and also has been wary of cultural biases and prejudices. The mixed heritage is almost as much of a problem in Asian culture as it is here. I
believe she also had issues with it but was able to overcome it through music, one of her passions. Now many of her fans can relate to her there and love her dearly. She has many similarites to Mariah and the fact that she lists Mariah as one of her top influences denotes some sort of kinship, don't you think? I have listened to her music and have been very impressed. I just thought I would mention some similarities between them. Thanks Ryan

| August 28, 2000...Update #1 |
Sorry Sorry!!!Sorry I didn't update again last night but I didn't get home till late from the party! BUT, I have a lot of news for you all today, so here goes:
Mariah does good deed!
Thanks to my Mariah4 buddy Mariah's Diary for this next article. When I read it, it made me realize how sweet and kind Mariah Carey really is 20 times more! Read below and check out the picture of Carey and the kids in Toronto at the bottom of the article!
When children in Fresh Air Fund programs head out to a farm, they usually meet the likes of Joseph, a rugged old sheep, and Cindy, a black and white cow, two of the farm animals that provide part of the city children's camp encounters with country life.
But on Thursday, six children who attended one of the fund's camps arrived at a different kind of farm near Toronto to meet someone of a little more stature: the singer Mariah Carey.
The children, most of whom had expressed an interest in the film industry, were participating in a career orientation program offered by Camp Mariah, the fund's career awareness camp. It is a summer sleep-away camp that shows the children something about their career interests, and lets them visit adult role models at work.
Camp Mariah is one of five camps in Fishkill, N.Y., operated by the fund, a nonprofit agency. The fund also provides free summer vacations to children from low income neighborhoods in New York City by pairing city children with rural and suburban host families.
The camp is named for Ms. Carey, who gave $1 million for its establishment in 1994 and 1995. The campers share a particular interest in the singer, who visits every summer. They make a commitment to attend the camp for three years, and the newer arrivals pepper the old hands with the most important question: "Have you met Mariah?"
This year Ms. Carey did not have a chance to visit the camp because she was filming her first movie, "All That Glitters," which is based on her life.
Instead, she invited six campers interested in the film industry to spend a day with her and the crew on location in Toronto as they shot some scenes.
The children, four girls and two boys age 12 or 13, flew to Toronto to see some of the behind-the-scenes work of making a film. Some campers had never been on an airplane before, but the highlight of their day came when they met Ms. Carey, who has had more No. 1 songs than any other woman. On a farm outside the city, the children watched her and a crew of about 60 people run through several 78-second takes of the movie's final scene.
Afterward, Ms. Carey, dressed in the beige evening gown used in the scene, greeted them.
Daniel Potts, who attended the camp for the first time this summer, was obviously excited.
"I'm so nervous I'm shaking," he acknowledged as the singer approached. "I'm scared of her."
But he was able to overcome his fear. A few hours later, when Ms. Carey met the children again, he was the first to ask her a question: "Did you make the script?" (The answer: She helped revise it, but did not write it.)
Children who go on the career excursions, which take place before or after the four weeks they spend at the camp, watch adults at work. They tour companies like management consultants, fashion design studios and television networks to hear adults talk about their jobs and how they prepared for them.
In addition to meeting Ms. Carey during the visit to Toronto, the children saw many aspects of a movie production. Peter Grondy, the film's art director, showed them how he and his crew would make Copps Coliseum in Toronto look like Madison Square Garden did in the past.
"We researched what Madison Square Garden looked like in 1983," he told them. "We'll be matching the seat colors and covering up the signs."
The children also walked through the sawdust-covered cement studio, where a crew was building an apartment set, and spoke with the film's co-star, Max Beesley, who advised them on how to become an actor and how to change a natural London accent to something a little more New York.
For most of their tour, they were joined by Isabel Gomes, 11, who plays the young Mariah Carey character in the film.
At the end of the day Ms. Carey took the children aside, away from the cameras and the handlers and the assistants, to talk to them about making a movie and encourage them to follow their dreams.

Mariah on cover of TV Guide!
Well in France anyway! Tamara from Mariah Goes Online told me that Mariah on the cover of a French TV Magazine. She sent me the scan and you can check it out by clicking below:
Mariah in Breakout!
Nikki from #1 Diva Mariah Carey sent me a scan of Mariah in the August 28th issue of Breakout Magazine (foreign magazine). I added the scan to Gallery 36 of the Pic pages and also, Nikki translated the article and here it is:
"Mariah has regrets"
Mariah pitiless and selfish? That's what her sister Alison thought awhile ago, but now she changed her mind. Alison used to be a prostitute and infected with the AIDS virus . When she begged her rich sister for help, it was the the last thing Mariah thought about. 'I am not God, so I can't help you', was her hard reaction. But it seems that Mariah has regrets of that, because she changed completely. She supports her sister, pays all the medication and she even bought her a house. Maybe you are God, Mariah?
Mariah4 helps set the record!
Well, according to Zoli we did! Thanks to all the fans who helped out Mariah in Hungary by voting for her and getting her to #1. You should all lift the hand straight up in the air and then pat yourself on the back :) Here is what Zoli had to say!
Dear Mariah 4,
Can you believe what you have done, lambs?
You have made a Mariah-song No1 in Hungary!!!!
I can't believe that it have happened!!!
Lots of radios started to play more often and Against All
Odds became a huge hit here because of you guys!
And maybe, maybe Mariah will read this on one of your
sites and I am sure that she will be happy that the
solo version of AAO became a big hit in a small land.
Because I know that Hungary is a small market BUT
this is a big evidence that "Mariah 4" is an amazing
organization!!! Cos all of you and your readers were so
helpful and voted in the past weeks. And it increased
the airplays in a lot of radiostations.
Thank you lambs. Unfortunately I don't know
so many English words to express how much I
appreciate Mariah4!!!!!!
Zoli from Hungary

Some news now about Mariah: yesterday I was watching the VH-1, a program called 'The VH-1 Chart Show' to be exact. But it was an special edition because the vj was taking a look at the most selling albums of the 90th's. Mariah had got two of them: 'Daydream' was in the number 8 and 'Music Box' in the number 4 with 24 millions of copies sold worldwide. The soundtrack of 'Titanic' was in the number 2 and the first place was for the soundtrack of 'The Bodyguard'.Hopefully, Mariah will sell millions of copies with the soundtrack. Chica, I'm dying to listen to it!!!!

Luis Lovers
Okay as we all know Luis Miguel is dating our hero, Mariah Carey! WELL, I know someone who is a big fan of Luis Miguels as well as Mariah Carey's. Her name is Anna and she sent me a lot of information about Luis. Read below if you want to find out more of the love of Mariah's life! I learned a lot of things I didn't know!
In regards to Luis Miguel (full name, by the way, is Luis Miguel Gallegos Basteri - some people assume that Miguel is his last name, but it's his middle name. The American version of course,
is Louis Michael, and Michael is where the "Micky" comes from)
There's always been intense interest in his personal life, especially
his love life. He was a child prodigy, has acted in movies, commercials, public service
announcements, made dozens of videos, won countless awards worldwide, is an accomplished singer, writer, arranger, producer, plays guitar and piano,
oversees every aspect of his tours and other productions. He's
multi-cultural, multilingual He's an excellent cook, very good at
sports like soccer, tennis,
golf, horseback riding, but most of all aquatic sports. (One of my
favorite videos features a beautifully graceful dive into the ocean,
and continues with him
swimming like a little fish with a dolphin.) He's an articulate and
intelligent person, and yet, most of the ton of stuff written about him
focuses just on his
personal life, his love life, his clothes, his appearance, even his
hygiene habits ("Mickey is a "shower king" - he bathes at least 3 times
a day, usually more!" was the headline of one article.) Another talked
about how he likes to keep his hands well manicured (he does have
beautiful hands) and that he used to travel with his own dental
hygienist to keep his teeth super white. Yes, an entire article about
his teeth came out last month in a TV-notas magazine! Last year they
photographed him entering and leaving Barney's of New York, commenting
on the clothes he bought for his trip with Mariah to Puerto Rico; they
even listed the colors, the cost, etc. When Luis and Mariah were first
becoming an "item", the press camped outside a luxurious Beverly Hills
Hotel bungalow waiting for Mariah and him to emerge. They got pictures
of LM leaving about noon, dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans, with the
caption (How was your night, Micky? You look a little sleepy!), and
then photos of MC and her assistant leaving a few hours later. Very
intrusive, yes, but even I had to laugh at the photo that showed several
burly bodyguards waiting outside the bungalow looking after " Jack" -
he's on a leash and his carrier is on the ground.
All this attention on his personal life and his "look" takes away the
focus from what he considers the most important thing - his music. Some of the media have shown a responsible attitude, but a lot of lies have been printed and published about him. He rarely gives interviews because he's been misquoted so often, and he always seems to be the subject of rumors and gossip. In a rare interview given last year around the time
of his album release, he joked that he'll sometimes pick up the paper
and read things about himself and wonder " who are they talking about?
I never said that, I didn't do that, and I wasn't even there!" He
acknowledges that it's what happens when you're a public figure . He
said something like" people think they can write or say anything about
you, because you're a public figure, and they have the right to treat
you like public domain." When he was in his early 20's the press kept
circulating a story that he had died and someone else was using his
name. (!) Later there were rumors (untrue) about Daisy Fuentes "losing
their love child" after a secret marriage (sound familiar?). His romance
with Mariah, due to her "stellar" status, and the constant media buzz
that surrounds them, have put even more attention on his personal life.
Out of respect for their relationship, and because he wants to retain as
much as he can of the little privacy the media allows him, he rarely
discusses his private life, and hardly even mentions her name, but you
know who he's taking about when he says "this person whom I admire so
very much." , or when he talks about how (and I'm paraphrasing his words here) "it is hard for us to find time to be together, our careers ,both our careers, are very demanding, and it's difficult not only for you, but for this person that you love....but I think it's something beautiful, when you've been apart for a while, and then you reunite,
it's like something brand new. So (being
separated by work) does have it's positive side." He also said that the
fundamental thing in a relationship between a man and a woman is mutual respect. He stressed that he respects and admires "this woman" very much. During Luis's last tour, which ended in May of this year, there were a lot of comments
in the spanish language press about how he seemed looser, happier, more content, and his voice sounded better than ever. Many were of the opinion that his relationship with MC has been a very positive thing for him, and while many of his female fans were envious of her, at the same time, they appreciate the respect and love she's shown him.
I'm including them for your own information and for anyone else who wants to know a little bit more about Luis Miguel However, since I can't give you the exact quotes or sources for the my statements above, that portion is not for general distribution, please. I don't want to be one of those people who gives out incomplete or
unsubstantiated info! If I ever do come across the articles or
interviews in question, I'll pass them along. Sorry to be so wordy in my email, but LM is a subject very dear to my heart and I could write about him for days! If you go to the Luis web site listed below
(http://love-that-luis.com), be sure to scroll all the way down the
first page to the portion where Sandy presents two fan reviews of the
night in Quilmes, Argentina when Luis presented Mariah to his fans as
"his official novia (girlfriend)." (MC Novia Official - GO!) It may be a story you've already heard or read about, but it's very sweet. The fan reviews are also
interesting, and well-written, like the one describing the "chick fight" at the Anaheim Pond - Sue M's Anaheim concert review. My favorite is the one about his appearance at the Radio City Music Hall - great fan perspective on seeing him
upclose and personal and good pictures (Barbara's Review and Photos of NY Concert) Here are the links to some interesting articles about LM, some with omments related to MC.
Fall of 1999- Article in Vista Magazine about "Amarte" cd and tour,
quotes from press conference. Includes picture of Luis and Mariah
walking down the street http://vistamagazine.com/novmigu.htm
"People" magazine profile about LM in June 1999
http://people.aol.com/people/pprofiles/lmiguel/bio.html
An article about Luis in Las Vegas
http://lvshowbiz.com/current_issue/headliners/mandalay_luis_miguel.html
An article in English that was (clumsily) translated from the original
Spanish; it cobbles together bits and pieces from his press conference
and subsequent interviews last September. However, a good photo of Luis and some nice comments about life, love (MC) and music:
http://www.romantikalatina.com/pubhtml/profil11.htm
A review of Luis's concert in Dallas on his birthday this year and
comments about his adoring fans, dating Mariah,etc.
http://www.star-telegram.com/news/doc/1047/1:ENCORE41/1:ENCORE410419100.html
Lastly, if there are any "true blue" Luis Miguel fans out there, I
would direct them to a wonderful web site that is especially nice
because (drum roll please) it's in ENGLISH! Sandy G. (the web master) isn't Hispanic, but she mastered Spanish to the point where she is an expert at translations, especially the very difficult to translate Spanish
lyrics. She maintains a very user-friendly, respectable site (No bashing
allowed). There are
excellent audio files, video clips, pictures, reviews, and lyrics to
many of his songs, and other resource info. She posts information about
tours, latest releases, fan reviews, a message board and LM updates.
No unsubstantiated gossip or speculation about him and MC, (good for
her) but she does post photos released for general release, like the
recent vacation pix, links to magazine articles and web pages.
Information is in English and Spanish, but is primarily aimed at those
LM fans who love his music but aren't especially fluent in Spanish. Her site address is: http://www.love-that-luis.com

Clive and Mariah!
Melbsb15 sent me this next article! It's about Clive leaving Arista and Mariah is mentioned in it:
Less than two months after his official exit from Arista Records, Clive Davis is back in business. The Arista founder and former president has entered into a 50/50 joint venture with BMG Entertainment to form J Records, Billboard Bulletin reports.
The label -- named for Davis' middle initial and that of many of his family members -- is valued at around $170 million by an industry source, based on the initial investment in artists and executive staff. Boy band O-Town, the subject of ABC television's "Making The Band," along with debut artists Olivia, Alicia Keys, and Jimmy Cozier, are the first acts on J Records; initial releases are due in October.
Davis has established a team of executives that includes president/COO Charles Goldstuck, former executive VP/GM at Arista, and a host of Arista veterans in promotion and A&R positions. Davis says more staff announcements from outside the Arista camp will be made next week.
Davis, while serving as chairman/CEO of J, will maintain hands-on production involvement in future projects by Arista artists Whitney Houston and Carlos Santana. He also will participate in a joint venture with Arista for the next project by Monica, for which Davis and new Arista president/CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid will each produce tracks. In addition, Davis tells Billboard he will "continue working with" Arista acts Next, LFO, Shannon Curfman, and Deborah Cox.
BMG chairman/CEO Strauss Zelnick stresses he will play no active role in running the label, saying, "BMG's role is as financier and worldwide distributor. We will have zero management involvement, except to the extent that we can be supportive." A separate publishing deal with BMG is likely to be announced in the next few months, according to Goldstuck.
Davis also refutes earlier press accounts that the new label had attempted to woo Mariah Carey and George Michael to its camp. "Those reports are erroneous. We have had no discussions with George and Mariah."

Mariah in Saratoga?!?Okay Kelly wrote me last night and told me she thinks her parents were playing a trick on her, so she said she wasn't sure if the news was true.

Christina Offered Britney's Partner
Ken found this article at MTVAsia's website and it mentions that Don Phillip wants to be like Mariah Carey!! Read below:
Singer Christina Aguilera is set to follow in Britney Spears' footsteps by recording a duet with new artist Don Philip.
The pair hope to cover "If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful," first recorded by Whitney Houston and Jermaine Jackson.
Don got his big break when he provided vocals for "I Will Still Love You," the only duet on Britney's debut album, "Baby One More Time."
Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell has also donated a song to the solo artist's forthcoming album and Don explains, "I want to be like Mariah Carey.
"You know how for a few years Mariah was the person everyone did duets with? Well I'm trying to put together this next duet with a certain girl who is a 'Genie In A Bottle.'"
Although the original version of "If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful" is currently available on Whitney's "Greatest Hits" album, Don is sure people will love the cover.
He says, "If you're going to remake a song, you ought to do it better or different, and I think I can take Jermaine.
"And I don't know, but I think Christina can take Whitney right now, so it will be a great duet."
Check out this site!

There was this girl in the studio with them and she left
her job to see Mariah and the girl was worried that she didn't have a job anymore. So they called her job and they asked the girls boss did she still have a job and he said yes. Then the D.J. asked Mariah could she do one of those high notes. At first she said she wasn't rested because she only had two hours of sleep and she couldn't then she said ok after the D.J. begged her so she did it. The D.J. said whoa I havent even heard that on mtv and thats was the major stuff from the interview.
Translated Spanish Article!
Anna was SO NICE and translated a spanish article which you can see by clicking here! Here is Anna's translation:
"Mariah takes a break for Luis Miguel"
The singer leaves her work obligations to rest a few days in Acapulco at the side of her love
New York, USA
Mariah finds herself in the middle of filming of her movie "All that
Glitters" in Toronto, also working on the soundtrack for the movie, and a photo session for a northamerican magazine (Regina Comment: Vanity Fair Magazine). The singer, recently
honored as the Artist of the Decade, has also been spending time doing
charity work - visiting the kids at Cabbagetown Youth Center, and with
all this activity she's a little worn out.
For this reason Luis Miguel suggested to his love (his beloved) that she take a few days off and relax with him in Acapulco and relieve some of her stress.
"She was in Mexico last week, but she's returned to work in Toronto"
affirmed a source in Cindy Berger's office, Mariah's publicist. "We
don't know how much longer the filming will take, but there still
remains a few weeks more."
This visit marks the latest of several trips to the Mexican Idol's
mansion by Carey, who, like him, enjoys the climate in Acapulco.
After finishing up his latest world tour, Luis Miguel decided to take a few days of vacation before working again. His latest project involves the concert DVD which was produced during his series of performances in Monterrey, Mexico. This DVD, as well as video and CD, will be on sale in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, Micky wanted to relax in his home in Acapulco, and hoped that Mariah would be able to join him there for a few days.
It's a known fact that the singer (Mariah) is very excited about making movies, and now that she has the chance to star in a film, she's taken the opportunity. The critics, as well as other people involved in the production, have praised her work and predict great success for her as an actress. "People keep talking about how surprised they are by her acting ability" said columnist Liz Smith. "There's been a lot of positive comments."
Although this isn't Carey's first acting role, it will be her first
starring role. The movie also stars Terrence Dashon and Valerie
Pettiford, and is directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall.
Previously, the singer appeared in the movie "The Bachelor" with Chris
O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger.

Terrence Howard Arrested
Here is another article that XFile4x13 sent to me about Terrence Howard, a star in the upcoming All That Glitters Movie, being arrested:
Big Momma Actor Howard Jailed
Actor Terrence Howard was recently seen playing a thug on the run in Big Momma's House, and now he's being accused of acting like a criminal off-screen.
Howard was released Friday after spending a night in jail for allegedly roughing up a female cabin attendant on a Cleveland-bound flight, police said. The actor could face federal charges for Thursday's incident on board a Continental Airlines flight from Toronto, where he is filming All That Glitters with singer Mariah Carey.
The flight attendant claims that Howard grabbed her wrist and barked at her to get out of his way when she warned him to remain in his seat while the "fasten seat belt" sign was on, Cleveland Police Lt. Sharon McKay said.
Howard was reportedly taking his 3-year-old daughter Heavenly to the bathroom, McKay said. Another passenger assisted the flight attendant, who was not seriously hurt, she said.
On arrival in Cleveland, Howard was charged with assault and jailed overnight, but he was released when the local prosecutor said he lacked jurisdiction. The case was turned over to the FBI, which is currently investigating the incident.
Howard also appeared in the romantic comedy The Best Man.

Mariah and Bill Clinton!!
Well, not really but this article that Nini sent me says MC has two letters from Bill Clinton! Interesting! This article is from the NY Post and read below to check it out:
CARLY Simon on Martha's Vineyard posing for Annie
Leibovitz for Vanity Fair ... *NSYNC soon to be on
everyone's lips thanks to a line of assorted lip
balms. Like Justin Timberlake's flavor is vanilla ...
A Robert Redford burp: "If you were me for a month you
might want to change it to two weeks." Aaaaah, poor
good-looking famous millionaire movie star ...
Tori Spelling trying karaoke spin class. It's singing
whilst on a stationary bike. Look, what do you want
from me? ... Christian Bale filming "Captain Corelli's
Mandolin" with Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz on some
remote island hates the food, hates the weather, hates
everything. Did it only because his character swims
with dolphins, which he was eager to do. That scene
got cut out ...
The male lover of a really famous married male movie
star is talking about the longtime affair which he,
not the movie star, broke off ... While Macaulay
Culkin isn't running hot, brother Kieran is. Following
"The Cider House Rules" Kieran's out in Jodie Foster's
"The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys" and Touchstone's
"Go Fish" ... Margaret Thatcher: "Clinton is a great
communicator. Trouble is, he has nothing to
communicate." ...
In her next life, Ricki Lake might be a midwife. She'd
love to deliver babies and is boning up on the subject
... Jennifer Lopez: "My cousin gave me great advice.
Said to always wear pretty shoes, because the man I
was dancing with would be looking down and if he saw
beautiful feet, he'd probably fall in love with me."
... Kate Winslet: "I'm worrying about pregnancy
stretchmarks on my stomach and thighs. Anyone knows
how to avoid them, please tell me." ...
Tina Turner, who lives in Zurich, sold her late mom's
Studio City home. New owners rent it out for $5,500 a
month ... Bruce Springsteen's Little Rock deal
stipulated the venue supply him with "a special orange
French champagne" plus chicken noodle soup and
Hellman's mayo for his sandwiches ... People who have
gotten to know Monica Lewinsky tell me she's a very
nice girl, very bright girl and has a great sense of
humor ... Boy George: "Jose Feliciano calls Ricky
Martin ‘Ricky Marketing.'" ...
Usher, the R&B, singer says the one who inspired him
to start dropping his drawers was his grandma. Seems
Granny said, "You should be flaunting your stuff." ...
Howie Mandel: "I'm embarrassing as a dad. I have to
drop my 14-year-old off a block from anywhere, and
that includes our own home." ... Kenneth Branagh
carries a snap in his wallet of semi-nekkid Helena
Bonham Carter, taken during a time they were doing
semi-nekkid things together. The inscription reads:
"For your eyes only." ...
Shania Twain's stepdad taught her the dangers of
alcohol at 16 when he let her guzzle non-stop until
she got sick to her stomach ... Leo DiCaprio's dad
sold comic books. And Beverly Hills Madam Heidi
Fleiss' dad was Leo DiCaprio's pediatrician ... Gene
Simmons bringing his life story to the screen. Sort of
a "Jazz Singer" modern style ... Bill Gates, who has
his own private train of three cars, has increased it
to eight including a diner and observation platform.
With priority over regular commercial runs, it's
aggravating West Coast travelers ...
Mme. Tussaud spokesperson on Naomi Campbell's wax
model: "She's so popular with young gentlemen that her
dress is getting ruined." (And what that could mean I
don't even want to think.) ... Hiccup from Dodi Al
Fayed's daddy Mohammed Al Fayed: "I am far taller and
more handsome than I appear on TV." (Not. I saw him
two months ago in his Harrods in London, and he isn't
far taller or far handsomer. That's far out.) ...
Minnie Driver admittedly has sexual fantasies about
Christopher Plummer ...
Mariah Carey's biggest pride is two framed letters
from B. Clinton ... Sandra Bullock on what she'd
really like Santa to bring her? Boobs. Big ones ...
Christina Applegate on movie sex: "I hate it. You're
in front of people you barely know and having a fake
orgasm, which we've all done in real life but now all
of a sudden your cover is up." ... And if, from all of
this, I haven't come up with anything in this whole
column that interests you - then there's something
wrong with one of us.

Anti Mariah4Well, yes! Three webmasters have come together and created a webpage against The Mariah4 saying they hate "groups" like us! However, one of the webmasters is in two differnt groups that copied the idea from Mariah4 in the first place! So what can I say? Hypocrites! I am not even mentioning the names of the sites nor the webmasters nor the address to this hate Mariah4 site! All I say is that they do not present the news correctly and that it's sad that fellow Mariah fans are creating hate pages rather then coming together and helping each other out!
Video Caps Part 2!!
Okay if you couldn't click on the links yesterday for the AAO Video Caps, try copying and pasting them in your keyword box because sometimes xoom doesn't allow direct links. All the links work though and if you STILL can't see yesterdays caps, I added 4 of them into Gallery 35.
New Pics
Art sent me the 3 page scan of the TV Notas magazine. It includes the two pics from yesterday and some older ones. It also has the pic of Mariah and Luis in NYC and it was recently in the GLOBE tabloid. They only showed their heads but in this pic, they showed their whole bodies and surroundings and MC looked so pretty :) Those 3 pages are in Gallery 35. Also, in Gallery 35 is a tiny collage I made of screen caps from the Allure Video which features Mariah! I like the pics of her in the cowboy hat! One of the pics is the new Quote of the Week pic! Enjoy..
Mens Fiteness Magazine
There is a pic of Mariah in this magazine in a brown top and navy green skirt! I am not even going to discuss what the article is about but it's pretty typical. Thanks to Alan for this information and someone else sent me this a while back and I never posted it! Sorry forget who :(
Okay Magazine
JoseAR95 told me that MC is in the latest issue of the british magazine OK! It's a pic of her from the WMA's in the black dress and it talks about the little girl who was suppose to play her in the movie!
Bits O' Information!
I subscribe to Columbia House under Country interest, and they give a larger section for country music, obviously. Well they have this little spotlight for a new artist named Rebecca Lynn Howard. Here's what it says:
Already a hit-making songwriter for the likes of John Micheal Montgomery and Reba, this 20-year-old Fan Fair sensation describes her recording debut as "rock 'n' roll meets bluegrass meets r&b meets country." With influences from Patty Loveless to Mariah Carey, the only constant is vocal power."
Tonight on MTV they had a show called "VMA's 99 Uncensored" or something like that and for one of the parts they had they TGIFY remix in the background. (no words, just music)
Petition
Well I don't usually support these petitions because there are so many of them now but Lauren made an interesting one! I was really mad MC didn't get a nomination for the MTV Video Awards and that is what Lauren made the petition for. So please, everyone sign it if you got a little extra time today! Hee hee..

San Diego Newspaper
Johnny told me that in his local newspaper (San Diego Union-Tribune) yesterday, there was an article about Mariah and All That Glitters. Here it is:
CAREY'S 'GLITTER' SHINES ON BENET
R&B singer Eric Benet will make his acting debut opposite Mariah Carey in "All That Glitter" for Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox. The project is in production in Toronto with director Vondie Curtis-Hall("Gridlock'd"). Written by Kate Lanier, "glitters" is set against the background of the new York club scene and centers on a singer who overcomes a troubled childhood to rise to the top of her profession. Benet will play the supporting role of Ceasar, a popular R&B singer and songwriter. Rounding out the cast is singer Da Brat and Tia Texada as Carey'a best friend and British actor Max Beesley
as Carey's DJ love interest. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety contributed to this column.

Spanish Articles
Okay who is good at translating articles from Spanish to English! Hee hee! Anna is a big fan of Luis and likes Mariah Carey a lot too and found two articles that discuss the couple! IF anyone is a big Luis fan, maybe you would want to check this out too! Here is how to access the first article:
Then, there is the Mexican Reforma Newspaper, Anna told me! Here is what she told me:
They had an article (in Spanish,of course!) about MC's recent visit to Acapulco. Unfortunately, it's no longer accessible, but I printed out a page when it was current. The article spoke about her hard work and good reviews on the film (Glitters), her visit to Cabbagetown, her photo shoot with a northamerican magazine (I'm assuming Vanity Fair), the same stuff that was mentioned in the NY newspaper, and the fact that because of all this, she needed a little R&R, and so Luis suggested she take a few days off and visit him at his mansion in Acapulco (so that she could release some "stress" the article stated :) There was a photo of Mariah (on stage) with the caption "Mariah takes a break from her commitments to spend a few days in the company of her lover, Luis Miguel, in Acapulco." It mentioned that this visit makes several times that MC has visited Acapulco, and that she and Luis both enjoy the climate there. Nothing we didn't already know, but nice to read all the same.
Trade
Okay I don't announce trade information on this site because it's a NEWS Site. BUT, Alan made a ballad cd and he is selling it. I posted all the information on the messageboard, so check it out if you like!

Request Magazine
Mariah is in the September 2000 issue of Request Magazine. At the bottom of page 9 is a section called "10 Questions, 9 Answers!" There is a small pic of Mariah holding an award and it says, "Which Side is Mariah's Best?" On the page 12, the next page, there is an article that reads:
"MARIAH'S BEST SIDE IS HER BACKSIDE
Millions want to know:
Will diva serve a burger with that shake?
On a recent glamour shoot with a celebrated fashion photographer, Mariah Carey requested that as many pictures as possible be taken of her 'good side.' The shutterbug was flummoxed, wondering exactly what Mariah meant, until she turned around and stuck her pooper right in the photog's face. This may also explain why the folks at BBC's Radio One are auctioning a toilet seat that the former Mrs. Mottola used when she visited the station earlier this year. With an eye toward auctioning it for charity, the clever Brits unscrewed the very throne upon which Mariah had bestowed her grace."
Now I don't know why this "Request" magazine likes to bizarre stories like this. In the last issue they wrote a not so nice one about her concert too! I don't believe this story either, do you? Thanks to Hillary for this information!
Horoscope!
Jen sent me Mariah's Horoscope but it was SO LONG I had to edit out most of the middle and ending. If you awnt to read the whole thing about Mariah, click here! Otherwise, here is the basis of it:
Mariah's Horoscope:
'Shrinking violet' is not a term that describes Aries Mariah Carey. The songbird in the short, short dress knows that glam plus vocal prowess equals megasuccess. Even so, life wasn't always so simple for this diva, who penned tunes in high school in the hopes of being recognized by someone in the music business. Her dream came true thanks to Sony honcho Tommy Mottola, who saw promise in the young singer and signed her right up. Tommy married Mariah, too, but that deal turned out to be less than successful. Numerous hit albums and Grammy Awards later, Mariah continues to dazzle her fans while being escorted around town by some of celebrity's most eligible bachelors (including the Yankees' Derek Jeter, Sean 'Puffy' Combs, Luis Miguel).
Birth Details:
March 27, 1970
New York, New York
Born under an Aries Sun, Carey is a feisty and independent woman who wants to be the best. Can you say competitive? The songstress is an 'A' student in the school of 'Me First,' and much to her credit, has the enthusiasm and initiative to be front-page news. With her Sun Conjunct Mercury, Mariah's will to act is further strengthened. Nervous energy is the order of the day here -- both good and bad. Carey's Sun and Mercury both find themselves Opposite Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion, in this chart. The Sun's Opposition to Uranus is anything but subtle, presenting us with a woman who is willful to the point of being dictatorial. Mercury's Opposition to Uranus sounds off in the form of inconsistent ideas, radical points of view and myriad controversies. The singer's actions will get her into trouble from time to time, but she'll get a lot done, too.
Thanks to her Mercury in Aries, New York's finest won't always think before she speaks. That may be why she's quick to talk about a very familiar subject -- herself! Yes, marvelous Mariah is fast on her feet, loves to mix it up and is a formidable foe in a verbal joust. With her Venus in Aries as well (the Ram really does love this girl!), Ms. Carey can be a bit selfish in the game of love. The singer is aggressive and competitive when it comes to love, although she is also deliciously sociable and delightfully romantic. This placement further indicates that Carey is likely to spend her money as quickly as she makes it. Lastly, with her Venus unaspected in the heavens (making no aspects to any planets or points), look for Carey's romantic persona to be somewhat disconnected from the rest of her self.
It's Mars in Taurus which brings Carey back to terra firma. The Bull's meeting with the Planet of Passion signals strength and determination, but of a more measured and purposeful variety. The songstress will get the things she wants (like money), albeit in due course. Since Mars is Conjunct to stern Saturn here, Carey will see to it that she's always got a plan and is working it. Mariah? Working it? Ask her fans!
Twenty One
Joe was watching the rerun of Twenty One and they had a question on Mariah.The question was worth 9 points.
The question went something like:
In 1999, Mariah Carey released her ninth consecutive album. What the
name of that album?
The choices were:
A) Rainbow
B) Butterfly
C) Daydream
D) Musicbox
The contestant got it wrong, but he still won the round.

Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and their likes. Pretty cool eh?

Lucky Fan at NYC Concert
Jackie was the lucky fan who Mariah threw the shoe to at the MSG concert earlier this year. Just thought I would share that! Hee hee!
Buttefly Review
Tim found an older "music reviews" article from a local magazine of his. It for the Butterfly album. I read it and some of it ticked me off and some of it I liked. I thought I would post it here anyway!
Soul diva or queen of schmaltz ? To the die-hard Carey freak ,
this women's voice can ^^MOVE MOUNTIANS^^ . For other , she just
a heavy bimbo who bellows out all the high notes without any
self-restraint . The fact is that her sort of lovely dovey ballads
will always have a place in pop . After all , people fall in love
all the time and there must be an accompanying soundtrack , right ?
( absolutely ) Already the sugarcoated " Honey " has reached no 1
and just for good measure three different versiond of the song r
included here . Tune to inspire an all-out snogathon come in the
form of the title track , " My All " and " Fourth Of July " .
Schmaltzy they may but Mariah herself has declared " So What? "
A very punk rock attitude , it must be said , and the women must
be commended for not playing the critic's tune . After all ,
the 55 million records sold must indicated that she's doing
something right . Another hit and a population boom is imminent
( they gave this album 7 out of 10 )

New Message from MARIAH herself!!Mariah left a new message on her official website. It's quite bizarre though because the message just stops. Did she say something Sony didn't want released or maybe she just left a cute brief message. I don't know and neither do you but I hope "someone" can let us know soon :) Here is what she said though:
"Yeah I do believe the put my nice message up on the board, in fact *laugh* it's Mariah...... so u guys know where to direct this new message tonight and I just wanted to say that Im reading a nice message from the wonderful lambs out there - you know who you are and I just wanted to say you guys are the freakin best! who does stuff like this? come on!"

New AAO Video with Westlife!Here are some people who saw the new video and let us know how it was:
I just saw the new Mariah & Westlife video on Select MTV in the UK! It was basically clips from MTV News that I had seen a few months ago with them all in the studio. Mariah was also on a boat in the water singing. It was really cool! The only horrible thing is that they didn't show the whole song. It should be on everyday now!! yippee
This afternoon on MTV Select the new video of AAO with Westlife premiered here in the UK!!! It was very good. It was like a fly-on-the-wall video showing Mariah with Westlife around Capri and then them recording in the studio. There was a nice bit where Mariah was sitting on a boat singing her solo verse, she looked very fit!! LOL!! Anyway to all the UK fans or anyone who can access MTV:UK you will be able to catch the new vid again Friday morning on MTV Select Replay it is on at 6 am so get up early

I had on B96 (A main station in Chicago) and I was listening to the 12 O'CLock Street Mix. I'm pretty sure the Mixmaster Tim "Spinnin" Scholmer as he's most reconized as, and I heard a Honey remix, then they played the AAO mix! I'm still trying right now to call back to get any info on it, but no one is answering my all! (Which it is now 1:07) :P Anyone else hear it?
Fanbook
There is a little 14 year old girl, don't know her name sadly, who is creating a special fanbook for Mariah. Stephanie from All Mariah will be putting the information on her site later today, so if you would like to add to it, you can :)

MC Calendars
Okay there are two different calendars you can get of MC for 2001. One being an official calendar and one being an unofficial calendar. Danielle told me that you can get the unofficial calendar for pretty cheap at Push Posters. It's either £5.99 / $9.29. To order yours, check out this site:

Sneak Peaks:

Mariah on Cover of Magazine!
Oscar e-mailed me last night because Mark wanted to let me know about something. It seems that Mariah is on the cover of a foreign magazine called, "Kleopatra!" Also, it's from Tsjechie, whatever that means? Does anyone have a scan of this?
Heartbreaker Released!
1 day and 1 year ago on August 16th, Mariah's first single from Heartbreaker was released guys! How cool :) Thanks to Paul for this information!
AAO Video has been seen!
Russell said he saw the new video with Mariah and Westlife and here is what I was told:
Nobody's gonna believe me but i saw the MC/ Westlife AAO video. Well Kind of any way. I was channel surfing and on MTV UK I saw the AAO video bu there was no sound except for this really annoying MTV sound ( U hear it when it's going into adverts and it says MTV letter by letter on red background , just so u know what it sound s like!)
Obviously i couldn't hear it but from what i could see the video was really good. It's MC and westlife in the studio, Doing Photo shoot's , In various different places in Capri and on Boat at sea.( Just like that picture from a magazine we saw ages ago.) I thought westlife were just doing Backing vocals but although i couldn't hear it I see what they were saying and Mark (Geeky Brown haird one) was singing the second verse. (probably cos he's the biggest MC fan out of all of them) I know probably none of you believe me but it's True i saw most of the video. But I think that Maybe MTV didn't show it in the Making the video premier like they said they would because the video needs to be changed or something and thats why there was no sound when i saw it.
Fanbook
Joe is putting together a huge fanbook for Mariah and would like you all to participate in it. He wants the letters addressed to HIM, but they are suppose to be about Mariah. By doing this, he is hoping to give a new angle on the fanbooks! Send your letters on how Mariah changed your life to:

Favorite Female Singer!
Then put Mariah Carey as a suggestion!

Pretty ironic that I mentioned this yesterday, ha ha! Oh well, check out the Official Mariah Carey Site for a new, REALLY CUTE, message from Mariah! Also, thanks to Muning for typing out the message!!!
Hi (high).
I’m sorry I haven’t left a message in a really long time but, yeah.. it’s Mariah and I’m up here in Canada uhmm., I’ve been here longer that ive been in 1 place for the past three years, in fact.

And you know I appreciate you and I love you and hopefully you’ll get this message and I’ll be able to leave a message periodically for you again okay? I love u guys bye.
AN EXCLUSIVE TRUTH TO A FALSE RUMOUR
Well I was glad to see this message from The Mariah Carey Archives. Thanks to Jackie for telling me about it and I wish that Jessica Simpson would see this!
First let me start out by saying this is a legitimate email and nothing in this letter is false. For a few month I was interning at a radio station. During my time there we had several upcoming artists and big name artists to visit, one being Mariah Carey. In the studio, during the time of her visit, there were several reporters from local newspapers and magazines. Mariah talked on a variety of topics one topic being: "Out of the new rave of young female pop artist who do you think have staying power?" Mariah replied "Mini
Me", the host then said you mean Jessica Simpson? And Mariah replied "No, you know 'Austin Powers'," and she started laughing. She then replied, "No, seriously, I really don't listen to pop radio and so I haven't really heard any of the new artists. I did meet Britney Spears a while back and she was a really down to earth girl." The host then went on talking about Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera and he asked Mariah if she had any advice to give to them and she said, "Make sure you know what everyone is doing around
you." I know it has been a rumor for awhile that Mariah called Jessica
Simpson "Mini Me", but that just was not the case. Her response was taken out of text. With various reporters around, you can be sure that one would create an interview, he or she wants.
Listen to AAO Remake!
John told me that you can hear a sample of Mariah and Westlife's new single "Against All Odds" on an Irish Radio Station site! Just click below!

AAO in United States!
Most likely, the AAO single with Westlife will NOT be sold in the US! But don't fear because Tower and Sam Goody should be getting it in as an Import; Just like they did with the first AAO single!
AAO in Europe
Here is what Julientold me!
Hey Reg! Just to let you know that AAO is available as a single and as a maxi single, but it's not the version including Westlife. I found mines at Virgin Megastore in Paris, so i guess it's also available all over Europe (as you know, the Westlife version of AAO will be here in Europe on september 25th). And plus i'm so happy cuz we have a lot of commercials on TV here (especially on a channel called "TF1", the most popular here) for Rainbow, even thought i think Sony should have done those commercials in late '99,
when Rainbow was released, cuz now in the summer ppl are more likely to go out and therefore don't watch TV that much.
News From Sam Goody!
Chris told me that Sam Goody did carry Mariah's Official Calendar last year and they have already gotten from 2001 calendars from NSync, Blick 182, Monica and Madonna. So he is guessing that it shouldn't be long until they get the Mariah Carey calendar in. Plus, he said that Diva's Live CD can still be ordered but there is no word on when the cd will be released. Also, there is no word at all about a video or DVD yet!

Exclusive--Buy Mariah's Official Calendar Now!Last year, Mariah released the first Official Calendar and it seems she is doing it again. Last year, you could get the Official Mariah Carey 2000 calendar through Black Beats ads and now you can get the Official Mariah Carey 2001 Calendar through Black Beats ads again. Mariahlamby (aka Danielle) told me about this and I went out and bought the magazine for the information. Here is all the information you need to get yours delivered!
Name/Address/City/State/Zip
Sterling/Macfaddan Dept. 2001-Cal-BM
35 Wilbur Street, Lynbrook, NY 11563
This calendar WILL BE in stores later this year, just like it was last year for the 2000 calendar. So, if you don't have the money, or your parents won't let you get it through the mail, never fear it will be in bookstores probably around October or November 2000.
IF you want to print this out and send it in, it would probably be easier for the company. I'll leave it up to your decision though!
Much Love for Japan Fans!
Well I got a Rainbow Minidisk recently from Japan and I was looking through the inside and it seems that Mariah signed a personal note to all her Japan fans! How sweet :) You can check it out for yourself by cliking below!
New Pic
Along with buying black beat yesterday, I bought the new Fresh magazine, which features a nice article on Mariah and has a lovely pinup of her at the Blockbuster 2000 awards. You can check out that scan in Gallery 35.
Mariah mentioned in EW
Dan told me you can check out a little article about All That Glitters in the Entertainment Weekly Magazine for this week. Dan also told me that there is no pic in this magazine!
Okay What's Up MC?
A couple of you have e-mailed me lately asking why Mariah hasn't left a voice message to her fans lately. I e-mailed Jill, Mariah's personal assistant, about this a month ago because I was wondering the same thing. Sadly, Jill didn't reply to my e-mail, so I don't know what is up. I am guessing though that Mariah is just extremely busy with the movie at the moment and is unable to call in somewhere to us. Also, Sony is giving her problems too so she would probably have to call someone who owns a fan site like Bree or someone in Mariah4 again! I sure hope she leaves another one soon though! I know I miss hearing from her!
Vote for fellow fan
Okay, I got this next bit from Liz:
Hey fellow MC fans! I need your vote and support to win this fan contest. My friend is representing Mariah and has written two pages on how she inspired her (my friend has met her!). The one in first place is an nsync fan , so we need help representing Mariah!! Please vote!! Thanks!! P.S. send me an email once you've voted
