Let's Make it #1

Before They Were Rock Stars: Season Premiere
It's an all-new Before They Were Rock Stars which still brings you back to that time but with a few fresh twists. The show features its usual collection of kiddie photos, high school portraits and rare footage of early performances, but now the artists themselves -- along with some friends and acquaintances from the past -- are getting into the act. Features clips on Stevie Nicks, Scott Stapp of Creed, Train, John Bon Jovi, Macy Gray, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and more. (Premieres June 30th from 9-9:30)  

Glitter Soundtrack Cover???
Remember earlier in the month how People magazine had the following article about the cover shoot for the Glitter soundtrack:

            Primping to shoot the CD cover of her upcoming "All That Glitters" soundtrack, Mariah Carey was going for a biker-chic look. So the star flipped when her stylist pulled out a photo of the perfect accessory: A $12,000 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R motorcycle that Noir accessories designer Leeora Catalan had customized with more than 50,000 Swarovski crystals. Carey simply had to have the haute hog pronto and requested that it be flown in from New York to L.A. Alas, the Hell's Angels wannabe could only pose for still shots on her dream machine. Catalan, not wanting the cycle ridden, kept the keys....
The question is now, is the picture to the right, the Glitter Soundtrack cover or just another promotional picture? Who knows but thanks to Alan for this image, taken from the France Glitter Presskit!

Glitter Trailor on Crazy/Beautiful
John told me that where he works, Hoyts Cinema in Hyannis MA, they are now playing the Glitter trailor on the movie Crazy/Beautiful.

    MOTTOLA TARNISHES CAREY'S GLITTER?
    Just because Mariah left Sony, doesn't mean she's left behind her bad blood with Tommy Mottola. The New York Daily News has reported that Mariah Carey is considering suing her ex-husband and Sony Kingpin, Tommy Mottola. The concern is that Mottola may be conducting some industry whispering and supposedly calling her new movie and album "disappointing", along with rumouring a rivalry with Janet Jackson. Mariah's accusations of Tommy badmouthing go way back to when they were married. She is said to have thought he planted bad press a day after they would fight. It is rumoured that Carey and Mottola are forbidden to publicly scathe each other under the same deal that released the singer from her Sony contract. Interesting small print…By the way, she just performed for Bill Clinton…by that we mean singing songs.

    Pica y se Extiende
    Gabe translated a 2-3 segment that Pica y se Extiende did on Mariah and Luis.

    One of the artists who has really gotten the attention of the media and the public is Latin superstar Luis Miguel. Many years ago, it was rare to see him in a tabloid, or in a magazine that did not have anything to do with promoting albums. Here is a clip of him dancing at a night club, hanging out with buddies and with actress girlfriend Monserrat. [they played a clip] This footage is considered to be a treasure because Luis, is hardly in the public eye. We once caught him in new york city with his ex-girlfriend Daisy Fuentes, walking down, with a bodyguard by his side. It was rare to catch him in situations. But now all that has changed, now with his beautiful new love Mariah Carey, he is proud to show her off, and is now all over the tabloids. The most recent place where our cameras caught up with him and Mariah was in la mother land of Spain. Here we se a very happy Luis, who is not afraid to kiss, or show his affection to Mariah in front of the cameras. [while showing a clip of Luis and Mariah on the boat in Spain kissing with their hands all over each other (not literally)]. Mariah has certainly achieved what no other woman has, to share the love of Luis Miguel with her and the rest of the world. Now Luis can be seen happy with Mariah, which is good promotion for Mariah in Latin countries and also for Luis in the United States, where Mariah is huge. So it finally seems that Luis has found true happiness.. yadi yadi ya!

    It demonstrated to Mariah its talent
    Mariah Carey this not contemplating to marry with Luis Miguel like one of her priorities, since one is satisfied completely with her relation, their new company record and its new film.

    The happiness that enjoys dedicating itself completely to the musica, to the cinema and to the man that she loves, is the reasons by that Mariah Carey does not contemplate the marriage between its priorities, and if, to demonstrate that she is a full woman of talent.

    With his recent disc Glitter - of film that she herself carries out -, the support of its new company Virgin, and the intense romance who lives with Luis Miguel, the neoyorkina singer feels totally satisfied.

    " (the marriage) it is a very important decision, but I do not see it like an institution because (been to have married) it has embosomed to me to continue learning of the life... at the moment not I consider it necessary because I have enjoyed and I continue enjoying my happiness ", Mariah express by phone from New York.

    What wants to continue doing, is to demonstrate to the people who are a lady of the industry with qualities to emphasize, which, endorse after of years of race.

    To move away the triviality concept that many people have of my, but definitively, I believe that the bad commentaries are of negative minds and that not it take much into account ".

    With but 100 million discs sold in the world and several Grammy prizes in its collection of trophies, Mariah has enjoyed the prestige that the work like composer has given him to its voice and and producer that has done with subjects like como "Hero", "Honey", "Any Time You Need a Friend" y "Emotions".

    " I have tried to incorporate the concept to be optimistic, with the hope of the triumph, within my musica and Always want that that listens to it it is with a good flavor of mouth and it is amused ", express the ex- wife of Tommy Mottola.

    " Loverboy " is the simple one of soundtrack of Glitter, it films that will released in November and in that Mariah interprets Billie, an aspiring to star of the musica that becomes jumbled sentimentally with an executive of a company record.

    " I fall in love with the performance and I put myself to work in the album, that is something that moves much to me, i love that the people, when they saw me in the screen, simultaneamente vibrated with which sees and with which it listens.

    The record was a challenge because it to have written for one film in which the ballads have as much importance to the ritmicos sounds, detail interprets it of " Emotions ".

    " There are very ritmicas songs because the argument this located in 1982 and what we looked for was to give a variety , for that reason when you see it, you are going away to give account that the ballads are adapted for which listening because they approach some anecdota of films ", I point the singer been born the 27 of March of 1970.

    Also, novel actress finishes filming Wise Girls with Mira Sorvino, in which it incarnates to a woman of the Mafia and that between loving enredosos, comics and on action, it lives countless adventures in " the Big Apple ".

    " What I do it is to express itself as I am, I am always wanted to seem to one girl amusing itself with which it does, but the performance has helped me like person to know me . Never I have let write because to create songs it is like a backwater or a refuge for all my feelings ",

    Smiling and Accessible, the fiancee of Luis Miguel explain that the fame for her is a moved away privilege of the fame or glamour of a star, since its life always focuses it to the creative concept and her personal profits.

    " Nobody nothing has given me, I do not understand much the concept of the interests of the industry because my it attracts to me to continue doing new things... If your you knew that truely what me it makes happy is to walk in skids, to jump in the sea and to amuse to me with which I have, to leave to give the return with my dog ", she said.

    Considered like " the Diva of the Pop " and eternal rival of Madonna, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey celebrates what has with a smile and affirms that she is a fervent believer of God and he´s power.

    I´m a very spiritual person, definitively I believe in God and in that it has given a very great gift me in the life, the inspiration and the opportunity to make my work. In many occasions few people value it, but it is a blessing when one realizes that this healthy one, that has work... ", she talk.

    Their beliefs, are part of their source of inspiration. " For my the faith is the confidence, to think about that everything goes by the correct way, because if you have a positive thought and are people who deal with afectarte with negative attitudes, the faith is the one that saves to you, the one that takes move away to you from ' ' diablillos' ' that make the rounds by ahi ", precise Mariah.

    Its main goal, is to stay like a centered person and that values the life, taking into account that is people who love her and that worry about her.

    Mariah... in phrases
    "I have generally been very happy because I have everything what I want "

    " You know because i love México, but also I am been thankful with fans that I have here "

    " the best experience than I have had in my race is when they said that to tapeworm a very good voice to me to sing "

    " the fame makes means, my style of life does not change and I continue myself amusing so much as when chiquilla was one

    "I do not like to speak espanol because hatred my accent... I have learned that the people of Mexico are very warm, full of energia and also they have to me counted that are illusion sites "

    I always look for to be related or to connect itself with creative people or very good sense of humor, that I admire of a human being "

    " I have discovered that the important thing is not to be perfect, because that never was, and much less dream without putting hands to the work, but obeying to my necessities and to give to me to which I am and what I can give "

    Clinton celebrates music in school
    NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Bill Clinton joined pop singers Mariah Carey and India.Arie at an elementary school to celebrate the restoration of instrumental music classes. The cable channel VH1, through its Save The Music Foundation, and Cablevision, donated about 750 musical instruments to the school system. India.Arie sang a brief a cappella song to the cheers of several hundred students at the Louise Spencer School on Tuesday. Carey begged off, saying she was too tired. Clinton spoke, but passed up the opportunity to borrow one of the students' saxophones and perform. "A few years from now, somebody's going to be on a stage like this doing what Mariah and India did today," Clinton said. "It might as well be you. There's going to be, in your lifetime, several African-American presidents, several Latino presidents, several women presidents. It might as well be you." Mayor Sharpe James said the city will donate an unspecified sum to supplement the cable channels' contributions.

    Heatherette Mariah's New 'Loverboys'
    Well, Katrillion had an inkling when we recently interviewed Richie Rich and Traver Rains of Heatherette, the hot duo whose logo tees have become the "it" accessory for stars like Eve, Britney Spears and No Doubt.

    Heatherette's edgy rock star appeal apparently impressed Mariah Carey, too. The pop diva called on the guys to design the airbrushed tee she sports on the cover of her new single "Loverboy." Mariah's hot rod-inspired top is the second Heatherette tee to recently gain national attention.

    Rich and Rains are also responsible for creating the "Carrie" signature top featured in this season's ads for HBO's Sex and the City. While you might be able to still get a tee similar to Mariah's through Heatherette, you're out of luck if your first name is Carrie.

    When we last spoke to the boys, they told us that you can get any one of their tee creations except the one HBO snagged the copyrights for.

    Hmmm, I wonder which one that would be?

    Glitter Script
    Some of you were telling me you were having a hard time accessing the Project Glitter site, so I made a section on Daily for Glitter Script Details. Today I added the scene where Mariah says, "What makes you think that's the best of me" and more information before and after that. It's really a cool scene and you can check it all out if you want to.

    Loverboy on the Charts
    Loverboy moved up 20 spots to #59 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. She is also #34 on R&B Singles, #50 on airplay and #23 on Rhythmic Top 40, for her third week on the chart.

    The only thing we can really do is keep doing is requesting her on the radio. There is only so much we can do sadly!

    DJ Party with Mariah last night
    Last week I reported that a DJ said he would be going to a special part on Wednesday night that Mariah Carey is throwing. We wern't sure if it was real or not but Joey informed it really did happen because he saw Mariah. It was a very low-key party for some DJ's and Virgin industry people. Joey went and said it was tight security and no fans were there. He got a picture with Mariah outside and she was wearing dark blue jeans with a yellow shirt that read, "Candy!" Her hair was up like the I Still Believe video. Joey will be sending me the scan of the picture later today that was taken outside the Hudson Hotel on 58th streed (8th and 9th in NYC). I will have it up on the site tonight or tomorrow morning!

    Dish of the Day: June 28, 2001
    Where's the love for Mariah Carey? Survivor struggles. And will the real Slim Shady please shut up? Krissy Goode

    HATIN' HUBBY: Mariah Carey is one angry diva. According to the New York Daily News, the pop star is in a serious feud with her ex-hubby, Sony Music head Tommy Mottola. Apparently, Mariah thinks Mottola is on a mission to sabotage her career via cheap rumors and gossip. "Mariah and the people at Virgin are totally distressed about this," a source told the paper. "Mariah's lawyers are looking to build a case that would charge Mottola and Sony with defamation and restraint of trade." And to think -- the dueling duo used to be married! Sounds like there's not much love in the air anymore.

I am in college and I don't have time to work my other computer yet. But I wanted to tell you my story and introduce myself. I have been a Mariah Fan since 1990. I love all of her music and collect everything possible. I first saw her in concert on December 2, 1993 in Philadelphia, PA. Then I met her on November 15, 1997. I recieved a "Dream Come True which is an orginaztion for terminal and chronically disabled children. So I picked the dream to meet Mariah and it took a long time and I was asked if I wanted to change my dream and I said no! I was so thrilled to meet Mariah. It was November 15 and a limo picked up my mom and I (my mom Elizabeth) and we were off to new York. We toured all around New York and saw a lot of sites! I love new York!!! I saw the church where MC and Tommy got married. Then at about 6 pm I got to go to NBC Studios and I watched the entire Saturday Night Live show and Mariah performed "Butterfly" and "My All" and then she and Louise Mcnally and another assistant and a manager, someone from Sony came up and Mariah sat with me for more than an hour and Mariah was so nice. She took a ton of pictures with me and said I should visit her one day and asked if I would help her fan club!!! It was truly amazing! I gave her a christmas teddy bear and an ornament with her name in it saying From Janel. The second time was at MTV studios on November 15, 1998 for the 1's party. She was really nice and said hello. It was really cool. Is there an address where I could mail you some pictures and maybe you could use my story. I really like the site although I can not email on it or anything! I love MC's new song as well! Thanks.

    People and Places
    NEWARK, New Jersey (AP)   Bill Clinton joined pop singers Mariah Carey and India.Arie at an elementary school to celebrate the restoration of instrumental music classes.

        The cable channel VH1, through its Save The Music Foundation, and Cablevision, donated about 750 musical instruments to the school system.

        India.Arie sang a brief a cappella song to the cheers of several hundred students Tuesday at the Louise Spencer School. Carey begged off, saying she was too tired. Clinton spoke, but passed up the opportunity to borrow one of the students' saxophones and perform.

        ``A few years from now, somebody's going to be on a stage like this doing what Mariah and India did today,'' Clinton said. ``It might as well be you. There's going to be, in your lifetime, several African-American presidents, several Latino presidents, several women presidents. It might as well be you.''

        The former president said he began playing the sax when he was 9, noting how music helped him express emotions ranging from unbridled joy to abject depression.

        ``It taught me discipline and creativity,'' Clinton said. ``It taught me how to be an individual and how to play on a team.''

        Clinton said studies have shown that students who take music classes tend to do better in reading, math and science.

        Carey, 31, said music education helped get her through elementary school.     ``The only reason I went to school was for music,'' added India.Arie. ``Now I'm on `The Oprah Winfrey Show,' and get to talk to Stevie Wonder on the phone and sit next to President Clinton, all because of music.''

        Mayor Sharpe James said the city will donate an unspecified sum to supplement the cable channels' contributions. VH1 President John Sykes said Newark is the first city in the nation to do so.

    TRICKS OF THE TRADE FOR A PERFECT FACE
    They might look as if they've been blessed with perfect features but the good news is that even the most beautiful celebrities have their facial flaws. Yes, the drop-dead gorgeous Jennifer Aniston hates her prominent chin while the ever-pouty Calista Flockhart is short-changed in the lip department. However, what they do have is a team of hairdressers, make-up artists and stylists who can advise them on how to divert attention from their problem area and make the most of the great features God gave them. The latest star to get the treatment is Victoria Beckham's sister Louise Adams, who has just had a major makeover after winning a contract as the face of Vladivar vodka. Here, CLAIRE ROBERTS casts a critical eye over 10 of our most popular stars and finds out what, if anything, we can learn from them.

    MARIAH CAREY ASYMMETRICAL FACE
    Like most of us, singer Mariah Carey has an asymmetrical face. Her right cheek is bigger than her left. Yet she does such a great job of concealing it that few people ever notice. However, Mariah is so aware of it that she is rarely photographed front-on, where the cheek problem would be most obvious - her head is almost always slightly off centre. She could use a darker matte bronzing powder on the lumpier side to make it recede, although this is not easy to achieve. More often than not she simply uses that old favourite cover-up - her hair. Mariah wears her mane obscuring one half of her face not only to look like a sex goddess but to balance her face. In fact, Mariah is a master of distraction, who has one ultimate flaw-concealing trick - she usually wears so little clothing that nobody looks at her face anyway.

    Kathleen sent me a little article from her local newspaper...

    Meanwhile, on the other coast, Bill Clinton joined pop singers Mariah Carey and India.Arie at an elementary school in Newark, N.J.  Tuesday's occasion - to celebrate the restoration of insturmental music classes there.  Cable channel VH1 and Cablevision donated about 750 musical insturments to the school system.  India sang a brief a cappella song at Souise Spencer School, but Carey begged off, saying she was too tired.  Clinton didn't borrow one of the students' saxes.  He did note, however, that he began playing the sax at 9 and it "taught me discipline and creeativity."

    Mariah on Entertainment Tonight last night
    Basically all they did was show the trailor and talk over it. They edited it too, which really annoyed me but it's was cool to see the trailor in a bigger format. If ya missed it, you didn't miss much!

    Loverboy Single
    Collegestud16 told me you can now order the Loverboy single on Amazon.com and Molly told me you can also order it at Artist Direct now!

    Magazine News
    ilovemariahmore@hotmail.com told me that Mariah is in the Cosmogirl magazine with Reese Witherspoon on the cover. Inside it's a sticker with Mariah in the Rainbow Shirt.

    Mariah is also in this months Tiger Beat with Aaron Carter on the cover and there are two pictures of her. One is fairly big with Mariah in a green top walking her dog, and the other is with Mariah in a black top and her trademark cut off waist jeans! The article is how to get your jeans like hers!

    Finally Tarah tells me that Mariah is in Boxoffice magazine. It has Glitter listed under August 31st and it gives a premise of the film. They have the famous Glitter picture, with the Glitter following all around Mariah. Also, there is a paragraph about Wise Girls under new movies.

    Glitter Trailor
    Jeremy, Steve and FlyAway told me that you can download the Glitter trailor and read an older interview from June 7th at ETOnline!

    Mariah to the rescue!
    On her first ever album, Britney Spears had a fun young innocent sound to her. With the fun , Baby One more Time to the romantic Email my heart, Britney jolted our music industry. As success and fame got to Britney, her songs on her new cd, Oops I did it again, became alot more "you want me, i want you" attitude. Singing of songs such as the teasing Oops I did it again and the boring Dear Diary, Britney became more egotypical and more childish. Britney is still a fine example of a fun teen, and a Ok singer.

    The exception to fame and superstars is the undeniably talented Mariah Carey. Mariah sets a fine example to people of all ages, not because of the way shes dresses, but the way she sings and acts and always has a beautiful smile on her face. There is nothing wrong with the way Mariah dresses, expecially with the recent change from up to THERE dresses to sleek long sexy dresses which she sported in red, recently. With songs of love, hope, wisdom, faith, and heartbreak, Mariah shows the reality of life. Carey is a rare find in our music industry. Her newest single, Loverboy, Mariah shows yet another fun summer hit! We not only are looking forward to her new movie, Glitter, but also to more pretty songs! Mariah is back! Thank gosh she saved our summer!

    Mariah on the Oxygen Network.
    Eric informed me of an interview on the Oxygen website for the show Just Cause. It is said that Mariah will appear in a special in July for this network but no information has surfaced about date or time yet. Here is a small interview taken from the site...

    Why do you work with the Fresh Air Fund?
    "They're [The Fresh Air Fund are] really changing a lot of these kids' lives. I know a lot of people who have been Fresh Air Fund kids, who have gone to live with different families, or different camps, and they said it changed their lives...Going and seeing new environments....a lot of the kids have written me letters and said thank you so much for, doing this and helping us have this because it really, stopped me from making a bad choice in another area."

    What is Camp Mariah?
    "They [the kids] do Camp Mariah each year...they talk a lot about the fact that if they hadn't gone, to the camp, they hadn't had this experience they might have ended up, being at home, hanging out, getting into trouble, and it's funny because they'll say thanks for helping me stay out of trouble. These kids really want to do something productive and it's not just a camp that's a traditional camp, it's a career awareness camp.

    "What can we expect from the new soundtrack?
    I've been working on the sound track and the idea for this movie for a really long time. It's set in 1983 but musically it's not just about that. It goes deepter than that. What today's music ends up being are like samples from the '80s for the past five years or something, but people aren't necessarily aware of it...So it's been fun writing and producing the songs and watching it evolve as the stories evolve too."

    Loverboy Production
    My close and very dear friend Mark, who works on production of CD's in Holland, told me that there are basically going to be three cd singles. Here is the info...

    Cat # 8978390 - The 3 Track? With CD-Rom options.
    Cat # 8978392 - The 2 Track.
    Cat # 8978400 - The 5 Track...I think it's the same as the US version.
    As soon as the finish they singles, they will be made available for Virgin two days after. The single will be released on July 17th.

    Mariah on Cover of Break Out
    Mark also told me that Mariah is on the cover of the June 28th issue of Break Out magazine and he will be sending me the scans later tonight.

    Mariah in USA Today
    Steve tells me that Mariah is in the LIFE section of USA Today today. I am going to go buy one and I'll have the scan for you shortly. It reads...

    Seen online: Mariah, Mel Brooks, and Kenny Rogers' doppelgangers.
    The small piece on Mariah reads:
    Mariah Carey makes the jump to cyberspace, after perhaps realizing that the web offers even more promotional potential than MTV. You'll find everything from audio clips, to fan letters - along with pics, naturally. wwwmariahcarey.com

  • Arkan:
    Hey there, this is Arkan from the Netherlands. Just to let you know "Loverboy" is doing very well up here. I haven't seen any kind of promotion yet, but the video is played mad on The Box. Loverboy is now SUPERBREAKER at No.5 in The Box ClipChart, it's No.18 at The Music Factory ClipParade and No.26 in the Top 40 TipParade, debuting higher than Janet Jackson's "Someone To Call My Lover" (No.29). Also, Michael Jackson's "invisible" tracklisting leaked. Altho there are no collaborating artists mentioned yet, fun thing is: he's got a song called "Heartbreaker". The whole tracklisting can be seen here:

    Do You Hear What Hear? It's Loverboy
    Here is how Loverboy is doing on the radio/tv:

  • Michelle from Star Mariah:
    I am so excited because I just heard the remix of "Loverboy" on 94.5 Kiss FM up here in Ohio. I never heard them play it before. The only Mariah songs they have played were "Heartbreaker" & "TGIFY". Just thought I'd tell ya that. If you visit their website @ www.945kissfm.com and look on their playlist, they should have Mariah's song, but unfortunetly, they dont.
  • Dan:
    I just wanted to let you know that here in Champaign, IL LOVERBOY is number 2 on 96.1FM's top 5 at 9!!!!  This is a total shock to me because they never played Mariah that much before, but now LOVERBOY is being played all the time! 
  • Michaja:
    I just wanna let you know that Mariah is going good in Holland, not as good is I hoped for but, Holland isn't Mariah Hot as it was a few years ago. But here are the charts position of Mariah here in Holland. Last week Mariah was number 26 of 30 songs in the Dutch "Tipparade" that's a guess from the Music Industry how big this song is going to be according to them. Then there is the Dutch "The Box" in the first week we voted Mariah straight into the top 10 making it at number 5 but this week she's slipped to 11. And then there's the most important chart of The Netherland on TV the TMF Clipparade Top 30, she's entered at number 18 that's quit good if you know that this tv station really Hates Mariah, their trying really hard NOT to put Mariah to much on TV. I hope you can use this information, if you want to be updated weekly, about how Mariah is doing here, just let me now. And maybe you want to help me, because TMF (the biggest show about music here in The Netherlands) have there daily top 5 clips and Mariah didn't get 1 day on the top 5.

    Mariah is proud of her bottom.
    She really is - her insiders say so. In fact, one of her insiders tells today's Sun (June 26). "She's proud of her bottom and isn't afraid to show it off," the insider says.

    The dolphin voiced self-arse lover has just made a video for new single 'Loverboy' in which her rear-end stars. "She wriggles her rear in tight blue shorts" and "spreads herself over the bonnets of luxury cars, giving her bot maximum exposure," says The Sun. Tabloidhell@nme.com would like to make it clear that there is no evidence to suggest any of the luxury cars on which big honking Mariah finds herself (Mariah, incidentally, recently insured her entire body for just under $8 million trillion million dollars) are moving. That would be dangerous and encourage fans who have arses of their own to do the same. Stay off moving cars, especially if you have an arse. Unless of course you are inside, sitting comfortably, wearing a seatbelt and not distracting other road users.

    Has Ex Put Carey Through Rumor Mill?
    Mariah Carey's feud with her ex-husband, Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola, seems to have only heated up now that she's left his label. We hear the singer has been talking with her lawyers about suing Mottola for allegedly trying to undermine her new album with a whispering campaign — a charge he denies.

    Even when they were married and she was on his label, Carey is said to have suspected Mottola of planting unflattering stories about her in the press. "They'd have a fight," says a source. "The next day, you'd read an item dissing her."

    After their 1997 divorce, Carey spent years begging Mottola to let her out of her Sony contract. This year, Sony finally let her jump to Virgin. Now that her first feature film, "All That Glitters," and its soundtrack, "Glitter," are due in August, Carey believes the digs against her have "stepped up big time," according to one of her allies.

    Friends of Carey suspect Mottola, using intermediaries, has been feeding the media rumors that she's having a diva war with Virgin artist Janet Jackson. They also claim the informants have leaked "early buzz" to reporters and radio programmers that Carey's movie and album are disappointing. Just last week, they note, Howard Stern mocked Carey as a "panicky" whiner. Stern later insisted, "I don't even speak to Tommy [Mottola]."

    Word is that the contract releasing Carey from Sony bars either Carey or Mottola from speaking ill of the other. "Mariah and the people at Virgin are totally distressed about this," one source tells us. "Mariah's lawyers are looking to build a case that would charge Mottola and Sony with defamation and restraint of trade."

    A spokeswoman for Carey declined to comment.

    Knocking Carey's "Glitter" album would seem to be counterproductive for Sony, since it has the rights to distribute the disk in Japan.

    A Sony spokeswoman says allegations that Mottola has it in for Carey "are completely untrue. Nothing of this sort has occurred. We are extremely proud of the work we have done in helping Mariah achieve the status of global superstar, and moving forward, we wish her great and continued success."

    Bill Clinton, Mariah Carey Sing Music's Praises
    Newark, N.J. (Katrillion) -- Three hot musicians -- pop diva Mariah Carey, R&B newcomer India.Arie and sax player Bill Clinton (better known for his former presidential gig) -- showed their support for music education on Tuesday (June 26).

    The three were special guests at an event that celebrated VH1 Save the Music's success in improving school music programs in Newark, N.J. "They've helped to put us on the fast track with new instruments" Superintendent Maria Bolden told Katrillion.

    Appropriately, the ceremony was held in the auditorium of one of the schools benefiting from Save the Music's efforts. Proud staff members and excited students at Louise A. Spencer School cheered loudly as the event's most famous speakers took the stage.

    "I wouldn't have become president if it weren't for music," crowd favorite Bill Clinton said. "Music taught me discipline and creativity ... how to take initiative and how to be patient."

    Mariah Carey also talked about her love of music. "(It) saved me as a child ... whatever I was going through," she said. "I thank God for music."

    A tearful India.Arie was inspired to sing her yet-to-be-released song "Strength, Courage, and Wisdom." The singer said music is the best form of self-expression. "No one could censor my songs," she told the crowd. Besides, "I'm sitting with President Clinton because of music."

  • John:
    Hi, this is John.T and I'm from one of the most beautiful country in Asia, Malaysia. I write to you just to let everyone knows what is happening to MARIAH in Malaysia coz I have not seen "Mariah in Malaysia" since I first visited your COOL site on June.

    I am a huge fan of Mariah and I really want to see Mariah topping every single chart. So, eversince I visited your site (again, cool site), I've been to TRL, BET.COM, Channel V top 5...to vote for LOVERBOY (at least 10 votes on each chart) everyday!! Therefore, I just wanna say : KEEP VOTING YOU GUYS!!

    Now, here is how is Mariah doing in Malaysia:
    Firstly, She is a very popular diva and people always talk about her when they're talking about female artist who has big voice. And according to the Recording Industry Association Of Malaysia (RIM) or RIM Chart Show which debuted in 1997(base on actual sales weekly), Mariah's "Butterfly" was on the top 10, "Rainbow" debuted on #3, and "#1's" had made history on RIM when that album is not only topped the chart for several weeks, it's also the longest running album on the top 20 (more than 70 weeks)!! Hurray!!

    besides, you can also hear her songs frequently at our local radio stations. And you know what, I can even listen to her latest single "LOVERBOY" as well. In fact, one of our local radio stations, HITZ.FM (which I think is a very popular radio station in M'sia), the DJs even play and talk about her latest masterpeice and I was so excited when I first heard the news about her upcoming project.

    Nevertheless, I also need fans out there to vote for her as well coz "LOVERBOY" is still not hitting the airwaves in M'sia yet( though I think it will be a big hit). So, please list out my article so that people will come and vote or e-quest (I can't do it alone).

    here are some websites to vote for:
    www.hitzradio.com
    www.mixradio.com
    www.rfm.com www.wowradio.com www.mtvpulse.com

    I still haven't watch "LOVERBOY" video on our local TV stations yet and I think it's better for me to watch it online coz our local TV stations do not play her video clips quite oftenly, especially her latest works like, Heartbreaker, Crybaby, Honey...but they still show her TV special such as "Mariah Homecoming TV Special", "VH1 Live", "Rainbow TV Special" and stuff like that.

    Do You Hear What I Hear? It's Loverboy!!!
    Here is how Loverboy is doing around the land...

  • John:
    Hi, my name is Jhon. I just wanted to tell you that Mariah is doing really well on the lebaneese radios.Loverboy is played every hour or half an hour and she's at #1 in 3 stations! for over a decade she's been huge here and it's continuing. the only bad news is that mtv were playing loverboy at first for every hour when the vid was "fresh" then they sudendly stopped palying it at all.thanks for you, it's really the best mariah site in the world!
  • Jag1094564 :
    Okay, so last week I asked everyone to vote for "Loverboy" on all of the Z100 countdowns because Z100 said that they would not play the song.  Well, I just checked Z100's hitlist and "Loverboy" is the 27th most played song out of 34.  So it's not great but Z100 always moves the lower positions up.  Mariah will probably reach her peak on the hitlist in mid July.  That's even better because then her peak airplay dates will be around the same date as the single release.  So "Loverboy" has an even better chance at #1.


    June 26, 2001...

    Mariah Carey's 'Hero': The Envelope Please
    We may finally find out what's in that famous envelope limo driver Chris Selletti says he mailed to himself in 1990. He says the lyrics to the song "Hero," which Mariah Carey recorded and said she wrote, are in it. Selletti has always maintained that he wrote the lyrics to "Hero," and mailed them to himself to make a "poor man's copyright." He's been making this claim for 11 years.

    Carey has always said she and Walter Afanasieff wrote "Hero" together. Now Selletti — after all his petitions and appeals to various courts have been denied — is saying he'll open the envelope on TV with an objective forensic expert present. Cindy Berger, a spokeswoman for Carey, said: "This case has been thrown out of court thee times. The federal judge — after hearing Selletti's story and considering all the evidence — ruled the case was a 'complete fabrication' and that it was filed 'to extort a settlement from deep-pocket defendants.'"

    A consistent sticking point since hearings in 1998 has been the contention by Mariah that she wrote the song "Hero" for the Dustin Hoffman movie of the same name. It couldn't have been, says Selletti. The movie Hero was released on October 6, 1992. Carey's notebooks indicate she started writing the song in November. The movie was already out. The soundtrack did not include a Mariah Carey song.

    A source knowledgeable about the Hero soundtrack told me for an article I published in Spin magazine in 1999: "We reached out to [Walter] Afanasieff and he sent in some instrumental music. But [director] Stephen Frears rejected it. There was never any discussion of Mariah being involved." Sandy Isaac, one of the movie's producers, told me that as far as he knew, Mariah Carey was never asked to participate.

    Back in 1990: Selletti was driving a limo for Sly Stone, who was cruising recording studios, working with Earth Wind & Fire's Maurice White (he appeared on an EWF album that year), and selling off songs and guitar riffs for cash. The woman who housed him at the time, a very upstanding person named Ruby Jones, said Stone would trade his music for greenbacks. Selletti says he showed Stone his lyrics. "He said, 'I'll get these published for you,'" Chris recalled. Two things happened next. One was Carey's recording of a song called "Emotions," a nearly note-for-note redo of a hit song written by Maurice White in the 1970s called "Best of My Love" for the Emotions. And then "Hero" came out, with what Selletti claims to this day are his words.

    White subsequently received payment from Carey for her use of "Best of My Love." It wasn't the only plagiarism case brought against the singer, though. Carey has always denied stealing songs, but has been involved in several settlements. One case was so contentious that Carey's then-manager, Randy Hoffman, the former partner of Carey's then-husband, Sony Music CEO Tommy Mottola, actually went to see the key witness in the case wearing a "wire" provided by a private eye. Hoffman tried to get the witness to admit he'd never played a song by writer Sharon Taber for Carey. The witness never caved, however.

    Not all the cases brought against Carey have been with merit or resulted in settlements. One case, brought by a writer named Rhonda Dimmie, is an example. Dimmie claimed she wrote the music for "Hero." Her case was eventually dismissed, with the judge ruling that since Dimmie hadn't written "Hero," Carey must have written it. That established, without actually giving Chris Selletti a trial of his own, that he also hadn't written it.

    Mariah's Testimony Revealed
    But Dimmie's case was interesting in that Mariah and Tommy Mottola were compelled to testify in a deposition about how "Hero" was written. They confirm in the deposition that "Hero" was intended for the movie. But how it could have been if the movie was already out? The smoking gun for Carey could be studio records that show her doing rough mixes of "Hero" beginning November 23, 1992 — a full six weeks after the movie Hero came out. Additionally, Selletti's attorney, Jeffrey Levitt — in papers filed with the court, but obviously ignored — revealed the actual song used for the movie Hero — Luther Vandross' "Heart of a Hero" — was copyrighted in January and given to the movie producers in August 1992.

    When she deposed for the Dimmie case, Mariah testified she'd been writing her "Hero" for the movie almost at the same time. She said she was writing it for Gloria Estefan — even though Mariah Carey has never in her career written a song for another artist.

    Mariah testified in the Dimmie deposition that when he heard the finished song, Tommy Mottola told her to keep it for herself. But in order for that to have happened, she would have needed a finished song in the summer of 1992 — since the movie was to be released in October. How then could she have notebooks from November 1992 in which she was composing the lyrics? In the same deposition, Afanasieff — who's been Carey's co-writer on most songs since her second album — testified "Hero" was written in two days. "In the course of a few hours," he said. "But it's hard to say ... it was within two days." Does he mean two days in the summer, or two days in November? If it was two days in the summer, then why is there a notebook with lyrics dated November 22, 1992?

    Carey's position in this matter at least is not assisted by the fact that her new single "Loverboy" is largely a remake of another old song, Cameo's 1984 hit "Candy." Since the recording of "Hero," Carey has a long history of "sampling" large chunks of old or existing songs on her singles — "Emotions," "Fantasy," "Honey" and the new "Loverboy" are all prime examples. Carey's attorneys, by the way, argue previous settlements were done because the cases were "nuisances" and weren't worth fighting. But most star songwriters aggressively defend and prosecute plagiarism cases rather than settle out of court. Cases in point: Recent actions brought against Michael Jackson, who — despite his other problems — is a gifted songwriter who has defended himself successfully in court. Also, Ronald Isley of the Isley Brothers, who fought Michael Bolton and won over a song called "Love Is a Beautiful Thing."

    Mariah gives a WHATEVER to Thalia
    Nini was very kind and typed out an interview that just aired today on Primer Impacto (Spanish News Show). Mariah was wearing a white tank top that said New York in blue glitter and a pair of shorts with heels, of course. The interview took place in The Piare hotel in NYC. Mariah showed up 1 hr late.  She was only supposed to be interviewed for ten minutes but stayed for more than thirty.  The reporter said that MC only refused to discuss Tommy Mottola.

    Interviewer:
    Did you and Luis really get married?

    Mariah:
    No, I don't get into personal things. People exaggerate too much. No, I didn't get married.

    Interviewer:
    Has Luis changed your life in a positive way?

    Mariah:
    I believe everything in life happens for a reason but I don't want to talk about that right now.

    Interviewer:
    What does a man have to do to win over your heart?

    Mariah:
    I think people should have a great heart and humor. 

    Interviewer:
    Do you and Luis speak Spanish or English?

    Mariah:
    I don't like to speak Spanish because I'm still insecure about it. I have like 5 languages mixed up in my head.

    Interviewer:
    Thalia came forward and that said that she's still the queen of your new record company. What's your response to what she had to say?

    Mariah:
    *Puts on her whatever face* lol I really don't know anything about her. I thought she did some soap operas and stuff. I don't know who she is and I really don't care! Adios (Bye)

    Soy Mariah Carey (I'm Mariah Carey)
    Los quiero mucho (I love all of you very much!)

    The reporter said that Luis hasn't even had time to listen to "Glitter" because he's so busy. MC also said that she'll get Luis Miguel to help her out with her Spanish because he's the best teacher.

    Tomorrow, Primero Impacto might have more from the interview up on their site. We will just have to wait and see!

  • Seba:
    Hey! My name is Seba, I´m from Argentina and the reason of this e-mail is to tell you of more ways to vote for Mariah in my country. You might know that she is not very well known here, she´s only recognized as Luis Miguel´s girlfriend. And her last singles haven´t been too sucesfull, and I saw in you site and there´s few info about voting Mariah in Latin America, so I decided to sent you some:
    - Much Music Argentina (the on you already have in your site) Countdown: countdown@muchmusic.com.ar

    Flow: flow@muchmusic.com.ar

    You can request Mariah in both and if you don´t know spanish, here it´s something you can write:
    For the Countdown:
    Hola! Queria dejar mis votos para la canción de Mariah Carey, Loverboy. Muchas gracias, chau!!
    (your name)
    For Flow:

    To write them you can use the same we used above:
        Hola! Escribo para pedirles el tema de Mariah Carey, Loverboy, que está muy bueno. Gracias y espero que me lo pasen. Chau!! (your name)

    And in the website you can vote  for the video you can see, but Mariah isn´t now in the 3 choices they give you. There´s also Top 5 Interactivo (Interactive Top5) , where you can choose the artsit, the video and the category of the top 5. The url is http://www.mtvla.com/top5i/voto.jhtml.

  • Alexander:
    I've been listening to 99.1 KGGI lately cause Mariah has been on the countdown lately, she has moved from #5 all the way to #3! And then I was on my way to work and Loverboy came on the VERY popular radio station 105.9 (Power 106) and it was so cool! and if you wanna get Mariah's loverboy to be on the most popular radio station then you need to request her on the Ellen k countdown http://www.ellenk.com/and click on the rhythm countdown!
  • David:
    It's David from Sweden, I just wanted to let u know about some things going on with Mariah over here. First of all, Loverboy has been played quite a lot on a station called Energy (NRJ) 105.1. Before the DJ puts it on he play parts of other artists hits and then says something like; "And now we're first again; Mariah Carey's new single Loverboy". So that's kinda cool. And another thing. On MTV Europe they had this thing where the viewers gets to choose from 2 different vids to be played by sending in an SMS. Anyway, u got to choose from Loverboy and J.Lo's "Play". As people were sending in their requests u could watch like a barometer with the percent of votes and everything. At first J.Lo had 70% of the votes but after a while Mariah got closer. Sadly, J.Lo won with only 2% of the votes!! How annoying is that! Well anyway that was basically it. Thanks for the awesome site!
  • Heather:
    I am in the Philadelphia area and I have not heard Mariah's Loverboy on Q-102FM, how can I get them to play it?  I call to request and e-mail them, I feel alone in this process.  I AM DYING TO HEAR HER SONG!!  Please help me get her song "over played" on Q-102FM (800)521-1021.
  • Laura:
    ok, so here's what's up with Mariah on the Canadian charts. According to the Canadian Hot 100, Mariah has just debuted on the Runners-Up Top 40 list at #38(meaning it's #138). It is still not on the Canadian radio charts, but is #29 on the Adult Contemporary chart(supplied by MuchMoreMusic).
  • Joey:

    Loverboy news from UK!!!
    HEre is what Ashes, from Rainbow Princess, told me:

    In mid september bbc radio 1, i.e. on sarah cox show, they will give out tickets to the USA Premier of glitter. (UK Only)

    It has also been confirmed that mariah has worked with Busta Rhymes (last night a dj saved my life) and mystical on the soundtrack of Glitter.

    Mariah will release her second single in the UK on the 10/09/01 or 17/09/01.  This is the duet with mystical.

    Mariah will appear in CD:UK when she comes to the uk in july.

    Mariah Carey, "Loverboy"
    (star) 1/2 (Virgin)

    Problem No. 1: "Loverboy" is the lead song from Carey's soundtrack to her new movie "All That Glitters," but the video has no scenes from the movie.

    Problem No. 2: Carey may already be a multi-millionaire, but trying to look more busty, more blonde and more naked will not help sustain a successful career.

    Problem No. 3: The song, which samples Cameo's popular '80s jam "Candy," has no recognizable chorus.

    The Solution: Put rappers Da Brat and Ludacris in car race, give Cameo a cameo appearance and hit a few high notes. It balances out to a track that's a pretty good listen. But the video may make your I.Q. drop a few points.

    Thanks to Susana for this information!

    EXCLUSIVE...New Glitter Picture
    Jose sent me a scan from some gay magazine (he didn't know which one), which features a brand new picture of Glitter. You can check out the scan in the Glitter #3 Gallery and if anyone knows what magazine it is, please let me know!

    Attention Italian Fans

    Mariah on Top of the Pops
    Noel told me that there was a little news item on the Loverboy video on the German edition of Top of the Pops this past weekend. They also taked about Glitter and in a small interview, Mariah said the following...

    "It's not my story at all. Trust me - if I were to do my story we would need a mini series. We would need like a whole three volumes, and also we wouldn't be able to put it on TV coz people might have problems with it!"

    Digital Diva
    Mariah Carey makes the jump to cyberspace, after perhaps realizing that the Web offers even more promotional potential than, say, MTV. You'll find cutting-edge tech, everything from audio clips to fan letters - along with pics, naturally - some of which you may not recognize.

    Loverboy in UK...
    Here is what Survivadc told me

    Loverboy is on Sky Digital MTV Base channel 447 (dedicated to RnB and Hip Hop 24/7) nearly every 2 hours they play both versions. They have also started playing Cameo's Candy aswell which is cool. MTV Base pretty much has prioritised MC's RnB records and have aire Mariah Carey Essential again two days ago. They do regularily show Mariah specials.

    Loverboy is on The Box selection 333 it has been on for a few weeks is not being played much there.

    Loverboy is on Digital channel Kiss (RnB hip hop and dance) selection 333 and is played more often.

    Not on Smash Hits yet. Smash hits plays predictions and big chart hits. However J. Lo's Aint It Funny which premiered last night has already been added to Smash Hits playlist.

    Request Loverboy Around The World
    A lot of people are sending me places you can request Mariah's Loverboy in their neck of the area and I am going to add them below and make sure you check out the Request MC page to see how you can help MC out on the radio. Check 'em out...

  • Laney: Hey! I live in Philadelphia and I've FINALLY heard "Loverboy" on the radio!  The only problem is that it's onl one radio station and it's in New Jersey.  Philly is one of the few big cities that hasn't started to pound "Loverboy," yet, but we can fix that!

    Q102 and Power 99 are the biggest pop and hip-hop stations in Philly.  Everyone should take a minute to email Q102 with a request for the pop version of Loverboy.  The email address is: requests@q102philly.com.

    Also, the hpi-hop mix should be requested at Power 99.  To do that, fancs can go to this URL: http://www.power99.com/personalities/e_song.html.  For "section of city," they should put in "North Philly," "West Philly," "South Philly," or "Mt. Airy."

  • Chris:
    I've only heard "Loverboy" once in my town and Mariah's not any of the countdowns or anything. PLEASE! send e-mail to AJonBHT@yahoo.com. He's the music director at one of the stations here in Wilkes-Barre. I figure, if you can persuade the music director to play it, he'll put in the rotation instead of having your requests falling on the deaf ears of these dumb DJ's that we have. The request line is 1-877-971-WBHT
    Note: Don't e-mail him asking to play the song! Say stuff like "Oh I like the new Mariah Carey song and I was wondering if you had any plans on putting it in the rotation.

    Do You Hear What I Hear? It's Loverboy!!!
    Here is how Loverboy is doing on the radio...

  • Devin from Rap-Up Magazine:
    By the way, "Loverboy" is getting a lot of airplay on the hip-hop stations in LA, but the pop stations haven't played her song at all.  She is getting more and more street cred so that's good to hear.
  • Mariah4eva2001:
    i just looked at the top 10 selected videos on the box in the uk and mariah is number 9
  • Hannan:
    Being the #1 Mariah Carey fan that I am, I was sooo happy when my favourite radio station Power Hit Radio 148.5 fm in Sweden chose "loverboy" as their hit warning and played it every 2 hours!! That shows that here in Sweden Mariah is huge and plus she's the top requested song on the most populor swedish music show! How cool is that?! Just wanted to let y'all know..
  • Aronne:
    Hi Regina,I'm Adam from Italy.I'm writing to say that "Loverboy"stays at number 28 on the top of the pops chart in Italy only with the times that the italian radios have played it!It's a beautiful thing! The "loverboy"video,which was premiere on Italia 1 last Tuesday, had a quite big success of audience!Let's hope it will last!!!!! Bye-bye adam (Janet is at number 25,but the new single is a little failure!!)
  • Giuseppe:
    I'm sending news from Italy. Mariah entered the italian top of the pops chart at 28 position for the week 18/6-23/6. Well,now it needs a live performance to get the top ten, though on top of the pops is not so much important to reach the top ten than to make a live exibisition.

    Vote for Loverboy on BET and TRL
    Make sure you click the new banners below, so we can keep Mariah on the countdowns. On Friday, Mariah fell out of the BET countdown, PLEASE make sure oyu vote on TRL and BET!!

    Magazine News
    Mariah is in a couple magazines and here is a run-down. First off, she is in the July 3rd issue of Mira magazine. It's the new pic where she is in the white tank top and it's really clear and takes up most of the page, so I would suggest getting it.

    Next, Mariah is on the cover in the corner of they July issue of Biography magazine. Inside on page 46, there is a picture of Mariah from Glitter, where the glitter is falling down!! Plus there is an older picture from the Rainbow era. (Thanks Shantal and Jason)

    She is also in the July 3rd issue of STAR tabloid. It's a full page article taking about Sarah, the stripper, and Mariah. There is a huge picture of Mariah and Sarah together. (Thanks Danielle)

    Check out all the scans in Gallery 56.

    New Message
    There is a new message from Mariah on her official site and you can check out the transcript below, courtesy of Steph. Plus you can check it out in Audio and the Transcript page.

    "Hi its me again, i just wanna leave a little disclaimer that i tried to leave a message like 5 times but my phone wasn't working and i don't know how to do these things these technical things you know they freak me out. But anyway i hope that you got my last message which basically just said that i love you and ill never stop leaving messages for you - as long as i know how to work my phone! Bye"

    FABOLOUS GETS A CLUE
    No doubt you're hip to rapper Fabolous' astonishing turn on Lil' Mo's current smash single and video "Superwoman Pt. II."

    But even if that's the first time you've heard him, this 21-year-old Brooklyn native is no newcomer to the rap game. It was back in 1998 when mixtape king DJ Clue invited Fabolous to audition for one of his tapes. After hearing his barbed rhymes and smooth flow, Clue signed him to Desert Storm Records, the new label he and his production partner, Duro, had formed.

    Since then, Fab has been making his name on Clue's mixtapes and albums, and on singles like the remix of 702's "Where My Girls At," and others. He also rhymes on Mariah Carey's remake of "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life," on her upcoming album, and on new albums by Jimmy Cozier and Macy Gray.

    But all that's just a warm-up for the main event, the September 18 release of his own Desert Storm debut album, Ghetto Fabolous. The first single, the aptly titled "Can't Deny It" featuring Nate Dogg, is starting to pop up on the radio, and the rest of the album boasts tracks produced by Clue, Duro, Rockwilder, The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Timbaland and Rick Rock. Looks like it's gonna be a Fabolous summer...

    Mariah on AOL
    Robert, Ric, McLoverBoy17 and Meg told me that Mariah is featured in AOL's Together or Not. Basically it says whether or not these two celebs are an item and shows a picture of them. Mariah is teamed up with Pavorotti and it's an older picture of them. If you have AOL and want to check it out, click here.

    Pre-Order The Glitter Soundtrack
    Chris told me that you can now preorder the Glitter soundtrack at Sam Goody, Media Play and On Cue. I know when I preordered Rainbow, I got a free double sided poster of Mariah. So hopefully, you'll get something if you preorder the soundtrack.

    Plus, Chris tells me that Mariah's big contender is Maxwell. So MC might have a good shot at #1!

    No Glitter trailor in Dr. Dolittle
    I guess Dark Horizon's was wrong because there was no trailor for Glitter in the Dr. Dolittle movie!! Hopefully we will all see it soon though because trailors are usually released a month or two before the movie hits the theaters.

    Quick Update
    Sorry this is such a quick update but my family is over and I want to spend time with them. More information coming tomorrow and don't forget to vote for Mariah on BET and TRL!

    Mariah Carey hits the airwaves
    (Launch) - Superstar diva Mariah Carey's latest single, "Loverboy," was the most added song at radio across the country this week. DJ Clark Kent produced the track, which has been remixed by David Morales and MJ Cole. The chorus was taken from Cameo's 1985 hit, "Candy," and Cameo's Larry Blackmon and Thomas Jenkins contributed their vocals anew for Carey's song and also appear in the David LaChapelle-directed video. Rappers Ludacris and Da Brat are also featured on "Loverboy." "Loverboy" is the first single from the forthcoming movie soundtrack, "All That Glitters," due out Aug. 21. The film stars Carey and tells the story of a young woman (Carey) who dates a New York hip-hop DJ in the early '80s, with the hopes of jumpstarting her career. "All That Glitters," which is currently scheduled to open Aug. 31, was directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall and also stars Eric Benet, Kyle Thrash and Chris Tessaro.

    Nice Article from Billboad.com
    Over the course of her 11-year career, singer/songwriter Mariah Carey has scored seven No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. If beat-savvy remixers David Morales and MJ Cole have anything to do with it, Carey's new single "Loverboy" will be her next dance chart-topper. "Loverboy" is No. 44 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart in its third week.

    On the "Loverboy" single, due July 17 from Virgin, Grammy Award winner Morales, who has frequently collaborated with Carey over the years, delivers three restructurings, each with its own distinct style and energy rush. The Club of Love mix finds the singer's vocals floating atop spacey effects, lush keyboards, and classic Morales kick. For a decidedly trippier journey, Morales has created the Dub Luv mix, while the Drums of Love mix resonates with a tribal vibe.

    Cole's 2-step re-tweakings, titled Cole's Main and London Dub mixes, weave Carey's sweet, soulful wailings into a skittling, R&B-spackled landscape of hip-swiveling beats and rhythms. Cole's own album, "Sincere" (Island), was released in mid-April.

        NEWARK, N.J. (AP)   Former president Bill Clinton and pop singer Mariah Carey are scheduled to visit an elementary school here next week to celebrate the expansion of music programs in the city's schools.

    Clinton, Carey and singer India Arie are to appear at the Louise A. Spencer School Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.

    ``Our students now have the opportunity to not only excel academically but musically as well,'' said Marion Bolden, Newark's superintendent of schools.
