Tommy sent me a letter in real mail and also sent me a VERY lovely picture of Mariah that he took, I believe! This is seconds before Mariah hands her shoe to one of my VERY best friends Anja! You have no seen this picture anywhere on the net and it's look so professionally taken, way to go Tommy! Hee hee. Also, I scanned Mariah when she met up with 98º! I just scanned a whole page from my Rainbow Photo Album and cut out the pics! There are about 6 of those pics! All of these SEVEN pics can be found in a NEW gallery...Gallery 43

- Mariah has NO plastic Surgury says E!
Here is what Raphae told me:
Today on a program called "E-Entertainment News" in Australia, there was a segment on PLASTIC SURGERY. Basically it mentioned how people pay millions of dollars just to look like world famous "Superstars and Celebraties" such as MARIAH CAREY, Jennifer Lopez, etc.....
Well we all know that Mariah Carey's world famous legs and body are "one of a kind.
But it's nice to know that there are people around the world who want to look like Mariah and have Mariah as their inspirational model and idol.
- WESTLIFE WERE NOT SNUBBED BY MARIAH
(OCT. 29) Irish pop sensations WESTLIFE have slammed a rumour that superstar MARIAH CAREY got them banned from appearing on the British chart show TOP OF THE POPS.
Mariah was so upset at the rumour, she even telephoned the group from Barbados to apologise for it.
The smear merchants claimed that Westlife did not appear in the Top Of The Pops video for their joint hit single AGAINST ALL ODDS at Mariah's request.
Westlife manager LOUIS WALSH says,"They weren't in the video and the reason for that is quite simple. Mariah was in Toronto making a movie and it was there that the video was shot. They were busy and just couldn't be there.
"Mariah gets very bad press with people saying all sorts of things about her. Contrary to these rumours, the lads in Westlife think the world of her and they got on like a house on fire when they recorded together."

- Magazine News
Elizabeth told me that MC is in the Nov. issue of Teen People. There is a small pictures of her on page 156 and below the picture, it says:
TOP TO BOTTOM:
Kirsten Dunst has scene-stealing cheeks; to Trina
McGee-Davis, we say"You glow, girl"
Mariah Carey is a blushing beauty; fresh faced Mandy
Moore appears to be in the pink.
Vanessa told me that Mariah is in the Nov. 7th issue of the STAR tabloid on page 42 or 44. It's about her chest, which I wish they would just leave that issue alone because it's so old!
One of my best friends, Minerva, told me that Mariah is in a spanish magazine called Tele Novelas It's a magazine dedicated to Luis and there are three pics of MC in it. I think this is an old one though because I have a magazine called that and it's dedicated to Luis and there are 3 pics of MC inside?!? Hmm...well if you havn't gotten it yet, I am guessing it is still on stands!! It's hard to find in America, I got mine at the airport!
Minerva also told me there is a NEW pic of Mariha and Luis in the Spanish Tabloid Hola It shows a picture of them when they arrived at the airport of London after spending some time off in Barbados. There is also a fake picture in Spanish Bravo magazine and it reports the next Mariah's role in a new movie called 'Wonder Woman', we already know that it was just a rumour but she tells me that the pic is so funny. SHe told me she is going to try and scan these two pics for me and send them to me sometime this week! If anyone can get the scans to me earlier, that would be neato!!!
- -MADONNA PASSES MARIAH
In the United States, Madonna has now passed Mariah Carey as
the 2nd best selling female artist of all time. Mariah held the record
at 52x platinum, only behind Barbara Streisand, with Whitney
Houston and Madonna followed closely behind. Madonna's album
certifications have recentely been updated, in addition to her new
album, "Music," which was just certified 2x platinum. Madonna is
now certified at 57x Platinum. And to add to that, Whitney Houston
is now tied at 3rd place with Mariah, since Whitney is now certified
at 52x platinum herself. Mariah has also fallen back from the 11th
top selling artist of all time to the 15 biggest selling artist of all time
(male or female). Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, and
Madonna pushed Mariah back. It's going to take Mariah quiet some
time to move up the chart. Her All That Glitters soundtrack must
get certified at least 6x Platinum to pass Madonna. The way
Mariah's albums have been selling lately, it's going to take Mariah
two more albums to get ahead of Madonna.

- AAO in Malaysia
Here is what Ashes told me:
"Good news for Malaysian fans! 'Against All Odds' (MfW) is finally
getting some recognition in Malaysia! On THR, at least... For non-
Malaysians, THR or Time Highway Radio is one of the West
Coast's major radio stations. They're quite up-to-date with their
music - which is why I kinda like it. And the THR Hot Picks On
Youth Quake is a program that's aired every Thursday from 8 to 9
PM, to which listeners have to send in a recommended song
through an entry form, available every week in The New Straits
Times, one of Malaysia's leading newspapers.
So, apparently, Malaysians have been noticing the song, and realized they haven't been hearing it frequently enough. Well, they've certainly taken care of that! They've sent out enough entries to make it the #1 song on the list, this week!!! :-) A HUGE thanks to all Malaysians who recommended it!!! I think we might be hearing it a little bit more often from now on (on THR, at least).
It's ironic though... I called up one of the DJs about a month ago during a song dedication program, and requested 'Against All Odds' (the Mariah & Westlife version), and she went... err... huh?".

- Bits O News
Here are some various things I got in Miss Mariah:
Yeah, yesterday Destiny's Child was on MTV's Cribs. Destiny's Child was showing MTV around their house. When they showed Beyonce, of Destiny's Child, I saw that she had on Mariah's style of jeans (ripped waistband).
Hi Regina, I just wanted to let you know that while I was at work today they played Mariah's Dreamlover on PST, which is a Philadelphia station I think. Then right after that I went for dinner and they were playing Can't Let Go in the Freehold Mall. Just thought I'd let you know.
- European World Music Awards

Music Awards, besides I was told that a CD-recopilation called The best

- Update #2- Mariah doing poorly downunder!
Here is what Neil told me:
This is Neil from the AMCF - Australian Mariah Carey Fanclub, again!
I just thought I'd let you know that "Against All Odds" has debuted outside the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Top 50. So basically, this means that it's not on the charts at all. This is really, really dissapointing. Heartbreaker's peak was #10, Thank God I Found You was #27 and now Against All Odds doesn't even make the 50.
There has been absolutely NO promotion from Sony towards record stores or towards the buying public. And I am yet to hear it played once on radio. If by some miraculous event airplay picks up, then hopefully next week AAO will be inside the Top 50.
All we can do is request, and I've recently updated the AMCF's request page
with even more places to request in Australia.

Thanks for you time. - Neil K -

AAO has fallen from #13 to #17 in the uk, but the song has
spent 6 weeks in the top 20, which in itself, is a great feat

Has anyone seen MC in this weeks tabloids or magazines like Entertainment Weekly/People Weekly/USWeekly, etc? Please let me know because I havn't checked them out this week yet!
- Max on Mariah
I think I reported about this interview but I don't remember if I added the transcript! Check out the lovely things that Max had to say on Mariah and the truth behind the whole mouthwash rumor:
(Thanks to Michelle, Ashes and Mariah UK Lambs)
- Walter Afanasieff - Grammy-winning producer with a platinum sound
Just a shade more than 10 years ago, Walter Afanasieff's phone rang. Tommy Mottola of Sony Music was on the line asking if the young musician was interested in producing the last song on Mariah Carey's debut album. That song, "Love Takes Time," rocketed both the new artist and new producer to the top of the charts.
That was not the first time Afanasieff had been associated with a Number One hit. As a session player, songwriter and co-producer, Afanasieff worked closely with Narada Michael Walden during the late '80s. While in the Walden camp, Afanasieff contributed to albums by artists such as Whitney Houston, Lionel Ritchie, George Benson and Barbra Streisand.
This year, as the result of his work with Streisand, Kenny G, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Babyface and Savage Garden, the 42-year-old Afanasieff won his first Producer of the Year Grammy Award.
..."I know that I have to be current and provide the artist with what they really don't know about. I don't really expect Celine or Mariah to come in and say, "Hey, man, I got this great new sound or this great new sample." It's up to your programmers and engineers and everyone in the studio to be really current and to know the cool things. When we were doing the Savage Garden album, Daniel [Jones] and Darren [Hayes] brought with them their current Australian bag of tricks. They said to me, "We like these, but we know this stuff. We want something more." I'm going, "This stuff is awesome." I got caught in a dilemma, because they thought their stuff was old, and I was thinking their stuff was so new that I just want to do that."
This seems to be a wild shift from just three years ago?
"That goes back to your first question about how it feels to win the Grammy. Well, it feels especially good to me, because I didn't do what I had been doing for so many years— you know, the Mariah/Celine/pop-ballad years. It gave me a chance to prove to myself that I don't need Mariah Carey to keep working.
Mariah and I, temporarily I hope, have parted ways. It's not like I was out to prove it, but this was a really strong year for me to go out and prove to myself that I'm not just Mariah Carey's producer or Celine Dion's producer. It was really good because I didn't work with either of those two women this past year. It is a different take on my career."
... "So, when I'm in the studio with Train I have to say, "I want this to sound like you, unquestionably you." It can't sound like me. What am I gonna make those guys sound like? Mariah Carey? So, there's this balance of keeping the family sounding like they sound, but with my influence and direction and production."

- Music Box STILL doing well
Here is what Matt told me:
Continuously high annual sales have encouraged Sony to manufacture even
more copies of this fantastic album. "Music Box", which has now sold more than 26
million copies globally, has also been re-released throughout Europe and is approaching
sales of 1 million in Australia - making it one of the highest selling albums of
all time downunder.

- EXCLUSIVE...Mariah CD in Janurary or FebRead this AWESOME news that I just got from Chris, who works at one of the Sam Goody Record Stores:
Hey, whats up? I was wriitng to let you know that my store manager went to the National Sam Goody manager conference in Atlantic City and they mentioned Mariah there are one of the conferences. They said expect a new CD out in January or Feburary. She said they mentioned a seperate album besides the soundtrack because she wants to leave her label. She probably has songs saved or songs that never made previous cuts. I doubt that there is a new album because we would have know about it and I think they were getting it confused with the soundtrack. But they did mention her new album and how she wants to break away from her label as soon as possible. Still no word on the Diva;s Live album and video... album is TBA and there is no sign of a video.

- All That Glitters SingleShino told me that there is big news in Japan yesterday and that is that Mariah's single for her movie, All That Glitters will be released on January 24, 2001! The merchandise number is:
SRCS-2403 ( 2000/01/24 )
And there is no name for the single! This news comes from Sony Music Online Japan!
It is possible this could happen because the movie is set to be released in March or April 2001 and that is about a month or two before the movie is released to help get the song up on the charts!! However, this news is so far in advance that the chance of the date changing is highly likely!
- Messageboard Note
Someone on the messageboard posted that they were Mariah Carey and the person talked about the Howard incident and how she left a message! However this is the THIRD time someone has said they were Mariah on the board and I HIGHLY doubt it is MC! I checked the IP number and it does not match up to anyones and I would contact Jill about it but sadly they don't want us to e-mail them anymore! So, it is most likely Mikey or some other MC fan that was just bored Friday night and needed something to do! Please cut it out, whoever you are!

- Derek gets the ladies
Here is what Cheri told me:
hey, today i was on the bus on my way to school and they were talkin bout Derek Jeter on the radio, like 95.5 baltimore or somethin like that, and they were sayin how he is so lucky cause he is handsome and gets all the girls and they said that he is lucky cause he got to go out with a beautiful lady like Mariah Carey. I thought that was kool and then my mom came and picked me up and they were playin Always be my baby on 102.7 baltimore. That is like my fav song so I thought that was so kool. And also the other day they were playin Heartbreaker on that same station. That station normally plays like a mariah song every once in a while!! so that is my news today.

- New Mariah MessageMariah has left another message on her Official Website She talks about the fact that she will not stop leaving messages on the site even though Howard Stern is picking apart her messages! I am glad she isn't stopping the messages because I know I can speak for all her fans when I say that we love hearing from her!!
Transcript:
Okay, so now I'm gonna feel totally inhibited every time I leave a message on this thing (it's Mariah by the way) because it seems that the messages have somehow become fodder for the Howard Stern Show! But anyway, I'm not gonna stop calling or stop reading (get ready Howard) the FANBOOKS, which are books made by the fans! Um because basically the fan books are more about you guys and how you relate to the music than me! And I sound relaxed when I speak to the fans, because I am relaxed with my fans, and with myself. So, um, thank you and good night! (laughs)
(Thanks to Johnny823 for the transcript)
- National Enquirer Uncovered
Well basically this show was nothing! They talked about Mariah for like FIVE seconds and they showed pics of her from the AMA's 2000 and the Rush Hour Premiere! If you missed it, you didn't miss anything! They talked about Mariah being up for the role of Wonder Woman!
- Magazine News
Mariah is in the Spanish Magazine called Erres! It has a picture from Diva's and it says something along he lines that if Whitney can do it, so can Mariah! I guess they are talking about acting?

- Yesterdays Pics
Nacho told me that yesterdays pic of MC in the tan outfit was from the Prince of Egypt Special and do did someone else! However Mariah wore a green dress while singing with Whitney and a red dress while talking right?!? Or am I mistaken! Plus the blue outfit was MC in Argentina not Spain in December 1999! Sorry about that!
- Mariah in Mall and on Radio
Here is what mschat99@webtv.net told me:
I don't know if I ever told you this or not so I'll tell you in case
not. I was walking through the mall a long time ago and they were
playing the Honey vid on the screens. Another time more recent, they
were playing the TGIF vid. When someone wrote that they saw a vid
playing, that reminded me. And also, a while back on the radio, the DJ
played 2 songs back to back of her, and one was Emotions. I forget the
other one. And he said she's really great or something like that. That made me
really happy to hear. : )
- Luis and MC duet
Mel told me that her mom heard on a Spanish Show today that Mariah has already recorded two songs with Luis in Spanish! Now I am almost positive that this is a rumour but it would be cool for them to do a duet soon!
- Teen Style
MC is in the October issue of Teen Style! It shows a pic of her from the 1993
AMAs and the '00 Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, and it talks about stars who

(Thanks to Dennis for these lovely pics)
- Howard Discusses Mariah on show
On Fridays Howard Stern Show, a guy named Vinnie collected all the Mariah Voice Messages on her site and gave them to Howard! Howard began playing two or three of them on Friday's show and said he would play more Monday! However, he didn't play them on Monday or Tuesday but he spent about 30-40 minutes of his show yesteday discussing Mariah's Messages and playing about 5 different ones! Thanks to Alex, I have Friday's entire show and Today's entire show on cassette! Some of the things he says are sort of funny but majority of the things he says are just plain rude and uncalled for! I guess though if you have a good sence of humor, you won't think too much of it and hopefully Mariah won't get upset with Howard, if she actually heard what he said!! Howard didn't understand the whole "Lamb" thing and they finally came up with the fact that Mariah is our leader and we are members of her flock, which REALLY made me crack up! He didn't understand the whole fanbook thing either and he says he is ticked off with his fans that they don't take the time to make fanbooks for him too! They talked about a lot on the show and really picked apart each word that MC said. That's enough on that though right?
- National Enquirer Special
Some people have been wondering about this special which I originally reported is suppose to air today on UPN! However, I found it is NOT on UPN but on Channel 48, whatever that is? I found another listing for it too which is:
Oct. 27th...National Enquirer's Uncovered at 12:36 AM on ABC
If you want to check out this show, I suggest you all check your local listings because it varries from town to town and state to state!
- No one like Mariah
There's no one quite like Mariah in todays music world. First of all, she's a new member of the survivors club. Few celebrities have triumphed over the rumors that circulated about her. Here are just a few: She slept her way to the top, she can't perform in public because her voice isn't good enough without the help from the electronic geniuses, she has no fashion sense, she has altered her look with plastic surgery and her weight varies extremely from month to month.
Mariah has looked and laughed at all of these statements. It's true that her first husband was the president of a record company and it's true that Joan Rivers sighted her worst dressed celebrity at an award show and it's true that she, like everyone else, gains weight from time to time, and it's also true that at the beginning of her career she was frightened at performing live, so was Barbra Streisand!

Here is what Chad told me:
Marilyn Manson was talking to Carson on the phone and he said he was laying
naked in the hotel room. Carson said that is funny because Mariah Carey
called and said the same thing. MM said, that makes me nauseous and Carson
said me too. I was soooo mad at Carson because he said that. MM is just
stupid so I don't care about him, but i am ticked off at Carson. Oh well,
thought you'd like to know.

Patti LaBelle was on Rosie today and she said that she is going to be in The Wizard of Oz along with various othre people! Mariah was not mentioned in with the other people!

- No Mariah on VH1's "My VH1 Awards!"
It makes no sence to me to have a Mariah fan in the commercial for this show and not even have Mariah nominated for anything! You can no longer add in someone, Melissa told me for the "My VH1 Awards!" Melissa thinks we should do something like create a petition because of this but I don't know if it will help or not?
- Tidbits
Here are two tidbits from fellow MC fans:
I was driving home yesterday and they played one sweet day and after the song the lady said, Mariah Carey is one of my fav singers and I can't wait to see her movie cuz I heard it is gonna be great!!
Well, this isn't huge news, but at my highschool today, we had a rally, and they ended up playing "Breakdown." Although I really hate rallies and pay them no mind usually, I had to stop and listen, then started to sing along, it kinda lifted my spirits ;0)

- Celebrities' watches raise $1.5 mlnNEW YORK (AP) - Arnold Schwarzenegger and Muhammad Ali flexed their muscles to help raise $1.5 million for charity in an auction of celebrities' watches. The actor and the boxing champ were the hosts of the Christie's sale Monday that featured Audemars Piguet timepieces worn and signed by them, Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi, Sophia Loren, Sharon Stone and about 30 other movie stars, singers and athletes. Schwarzenegger's titanium and 18-karat gold chronograph wristwatch from the Royal Oak collection topped the bidding at $340,000. Ali's 18-karat pink gold watch from the Jules Audemars collection sold for $220,000. Watches belonging to Loren and Stone sold for $75,000 each.
Bon Jovi's 18-karat white gold oval watch went for $20,000, while Carey's - an 18-karat gold piece set with diamonds - sold for $21,000. The buyers were collectors, socialites and celebrities, Christie's said. None were named. A bonus lot was added to the auction when Schwarzenegger took off the watch he was wearing, a prototype he wore during filming of his newest movie, "The Sixth Day." It sold for $35,000. All the money raised will benefit the Inner City Games Foundation, which offers sports contests and educational programs for children, and the Muhammad Ali Center, an interactive educational institution.
Mariah's 18-karat gold watch set with diamonds went for
$21,000

- Mariah and Luis DuetAnna found an article at LaBotana.com and translated it to English for us!! Who knows if this will really happen and if it does, when it will!
Singer Mariah Carey is thinking of/plans to include a couple of Spanish-language songs in her next recording (disk). For this purpose, Mariah will continue with her attempts to master the Spanish language; she's already had several "classes" with her sweetheart, Mexican singer Luis Miguel.
The singer (MC) assured us of the possibility of this long awaited duet with Luis Miguel, and according to Mariah the song must be a love song, since she'll be performing the song ("interpreting") with someone very special.
Contrary to current rumors published in the press, all signs indicate that
Mariah and Luis Miguel continue their romance. Just recently, the pair were
seen celebrating the end of the filming for her movie "All that Glitters"
with a very lively, festive dinner party.

- Babyface on Arista
Babyface Signs on With Arista When Antonio "L.A." Reid replaced
hitmaker Clive Davis as the president of Arista Records in July,
there was speculation that many of the label's high-profile acts,
such as Whitney Houston or Santana, might jump ship. Not only
did that not happen, but Reid has added a new superstar to the
roster, signing his old pal Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds to a long-
term solo recording contract, the label said Thursday. Babyface
had been signed to Epic Records, which will release a greatest-hits
package featuring two brand-new songs on Nov. 14. Arista and
Epic will join forces to promote one of those tracks, "Reason for
Breathing," to radio. Reid and Babyface heaped praise on each
other in the Arista statement. Edmonds called Reid "an intuitive
businessman," while Reid said "an artist of [Edmonds]' substance
comes along once in a musical generation." As a singer-songwriter-
producer, Edmonds has won 10 Grammys, including a record three
consecutive prizes as producer of the year. Combined worldwide
sales of singles and albums bearing his imprimatur exceed the 100
million mark. The duo has worked together since 1983, when
Indianapolis native Edmonds joined Reid's Cincinnati-based funk
band, the Deele. In 1989, they co-founded Atlanta-based LaFace
Records, the eventual home of TLC, Toni Braxton, and Usher.
LaFace is now wholly owned by Arista's Bertelsmann parent
company. In 1993, Edmonds left LaFace over creative differences
with Reid and focused on his own projects. Besides his solo
works, he has collaborated with the likes of Eric Clapton, Mariah
Carey*, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson,
Mary J. Blige, and Madonna. He and his wife, Tracy, have also
forayed to the silver screen, producing such films as Soul Food.
The greatest-hits set, Babyface: A Collection of His Greatest Hits,
includes the Top 10 pop-R&B singles "It's No Crime," "Whip
Appeal," "Every Time I Close My Eyes and "When Can I See You
Again." Including the aforementioned "Reason for Breathing," which
Edmonds co-wrote with singer Joe, the album features three new
tracks. Also appearing are "When Men Grow Old" and the first
studio recording of "Change the World."

- Mariah Carey-$100 Million Personal Fortune!
This next article is from a week or two ago from the National Enquirer Tabloid! I don't remember if I added it to the site or not and Bernard found it online at the National Enquirer Website!
Princess of Pop Mariah Carey did not even have digs of her own after
leaving the $10 million mansion she shared with her ex-hubby, music titan
Tommy Mottola -- until she bought a posh $9 million Manhattan penthouse.
Then she splurged on a fitting centerpiece -- Marilyn Monroe's cherished
white baby grand piano, which she snagged for a cool $662,500. "My accountant was dying," Mariah says with glee.
No big deal -- since the multiple Grammy winner has sold more than 128
million albums since hitting the big time in 1990. The 30-year-old "Heartbreaker" currently makes sweet music with Mexican
singer Luis Miguel.

- No Mariah on Howard
I listened to the tape of Howard talking about Mariah on Friday's show and it actually was somewhat funny at points but other things he said were kind of mean!!! My friend Alex told me that Howard didn't play any of Mariah's messages on his show today!! He mentioned her early in the morning and said he would play some more but he never got around to doing that! So maybe he'll mention her on tomorrow's show! I'll try and tape it again and see what happens
- Vonda Curtis-Hall
Arvin sent me transcript of some nice things that Vondie (ATG Director) said in an interview for popcorn.co.uk, about Mariah's performance in the film. Thanks to Mariah Online for this information too!
She worked really hard for it. She did a lot of preparation and...uh...I think she felt she had a lot to prove so she really bucked it down and she's brilliant in the movie and, you know, think a lot of people are gonna be really surprised. I gave her as much direction as I could, I just sort of guided her in an area that I thought would best support her character...ah...She had a great acting coach...um...ah...that she worked with for a couple of years before she came to work in this picture and...um...you know, we would fight about some things and we'd come together on a lot of other...on most things. So it was great, it was a really great experience. Oh, I think the critics are inclined to go for her but I don't they'll have much of a leg to stand on because she's sooo brilliant in this movie..um...it just shocks me...you know...daily I would look at the rushes and, you know, just be blown away by Mariah AND the lead actor Max Beesly and their chemistry so I'm really excited...Bad boy Max!!...hehehe...He's great...It's such an...The great thing about this film is...it's great to have actors who actually do what they're supposed to be doing in the film. Mariah is a great singer so she's a great singer in this film. Max is a great producer and great a musician and he's a, in fact, he's a great pianist...ah... great drummer...ah, you know, and so he's actually playing...he's actually, you know, playing drums...he's actually playing piano...and, you know, the music that they're writing together, they're actually writing the music. So...you know... the verisimilitude is...ah...you know...it's sitting there. So it's just..it's fantastic.
- Rock 'n Roll Jeopardy
Here is what mschat99@webtv.net told me:
They had a Mariah question on Rock 'n Roll Jeopardy and it was the last
question of the game, to choose 2 out of the 3 women singers who have 2
albums that have sold over 10 million. The answeres were Mariah, Shania
& Whitney. 1 or 2 people chose Mariah as 1 of their answers, but no one
chose 2 right answers. She was also on another game show before Rock 'n
Roll, and I forgot what it's called. It's the one w/ teenagers who run
back and forth and answer questions. They asked who rerecorded IBT and
made it a hit, and I rushed to turn on my VCR to tape it but I missed
it! And I missed them give the answer in the process, but it's gotta be Ms.
Mariah.

- Down in Denim
VH1.com has a couple collages on their site for the fashion awards and Mariah is in one of them for her famous jeans! Here is the article below and you can check out the picture to the right of the article! There is a bigger version on the website!
As long as there is manual labor there will be denim clothing. But never have fashion and functionality been so entwined as this year, when every other supermodel seemed to be wearing jeans paired with stilettos, and denim jackets were tossed over everything from T-shirts to evening gowns. We haven't seen this much denim since, oh, the mid-'80s - and by the way, old-school designer jeans also made a comeback this year. Ooh la la!

Hitkrant: How was working together with Mariah Carey?
Shane: I found it a great privilege to be allowed to co-operate with her. we're
all fans of her, especially Mark, so this was a dream coming true. We've got to
know her pretty well and she's really down-to-earth.
Mark: It was awesome! Everyone who knows me even a bit, knows that I'm a really
big fan of her. The first time I met her, I just froze. I didn't know what to
say or do. The second time we saw her she said she'd like to record something
with us. I couldn't possibly believe that! Even when we actually recorded the
song, I didn't really realize it. For me it was a big dream to meet her, and
even more to co-operate with her! But I'll never be able again to pronounce the
name "Mariah" without getting the vibes, haha! Really!

Well if you haven't watched the MEN STRIKE BACK POP UP VIDEO..Mariah was mentioned when Enrique Eglesias performed "just wanna be with you". They were saying how he was the most demanding man in the show and than they has a lil pic of Mariah saying she was the most demanding woman at the Diva concert and than that Enrique wanted them to film him on his good side and they did the same thing to Mariah saying how she wanted them to film her on her good side. And I don't know if you saw the commercial yet but they showed a commcerical for the My Music Award and Joe i think thats his name well hes going for Mariah for the My Music Award and they had a lil promo of it.

- Mariah on Howard SternHere is what Alex told me:
Howard Stern talked about how Mariah leaves voice mail messages to her fans on her website. He played one of the messages on the air. It was pretty old, and talked about her Chicago fanbook, and the upcoming Mariah's Theme single. Throughout the thing, Howard and his gang were laughing and making fun of it. They were saying stuff like Mariah doesn't really care about her fans or their fanbooks. They also made fun of the idea of fanbooks and the fans that send them. Later Vinnie Favoli of CBS, who made a cd of all the messages, called in and played another message. He played the one about the controversy with the record company not wanting her single released. She even mentioned getting a fanbook from Anja. Howard loves the messages so much, he might play them all on Friday. He thinks it's weird that a big star like Mariah makes such a big effort to reach out to her fans.

- She Looks Familiar But...
Thanks to Drew for the following article:
Buzz: Mariah Goes Unrecognized
By Martine Starita
AltaVista Entertainment Writer
10/19/00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some of the best celebrity sightings are wasted on people who couldn't care
less. And sometimes celebrities would rather hide than be recognized by the
public. In either case, the gossip can be juicy. We've got the latest right
here.
She Looks Familiar But…
Believe it or not, some people still don't recognize pop star Mariah Carey
when they see her in person. The New York Daily News reports that the diva
was waiting in the lobby of a Tribeca apartment building while the crew of
her movie, "All That Glitters," was setting up the next shot. A man got off
the elevator and asked Mariah: "Are they shooting a commercial?" Mariah
responded, "It's a movie." "Anybody famous in it?" the man asked innocently.
Mariah smiled slyly at the cave dweller next to her and then stepped outside
to meet the mob of crying fans that awaited her. Some people would have sold
their first-born child to be in that guy's shoes. Fate surely has a sense of
humor.
- Mariah on Will and Grace
Alyssa, Jimmy, Elizabeth and ButtterfIi told me that Mariah was mentioned on the hit tv show, Will and Grace last night. Here is what Alyssa told me:
Hi Regina. I've long been a fan of your site and I've happened to have
written to you a few times to congratulate you on you're excellent choice of
Diva. Anyway, I'm a big Will & Grace fan so naturally I watched the show(s)
tonight and during the second one, it was a back-to-back lineup tonight,
Jack interrupted Will who was reclining on a sofa, pulled out a remote and
said "Mariah Scary" is on Behind the Music. But he said it like he loves
her. Anyway, Will changed back the channel to what he was watching before,
then Jack changed it back to VH1 and said "Oh, this is the part where Mariah
pretends to like Whitney Houston," and that was it.
- Mariah on Vacation
I got word that Mariah is still on vacation, where exactly I don't know! Hopefully she is relaxing somewhere with her feet up because she has been working so hard on All That Glitters! Mariah still hasn't gotten the package I sent last week but when she get's back, hopefully she will!

- Mariah mentioned on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Jennifer told me that Mariah was on one of the questions last night!! The question was who was a backup singer for Michael Jackson for his 1988-89 Bad Tour. The answer was Sheryl Crow but the man didn't know it and used two of his lifelines for this question!
- Mariah on the set!
Thanks to Nini for this folllowing article taken from NYDailyNews!
The Scene: Mariah Carey, waiting in the lobby of a
Tribeca apartment building, while the crew of her
movie "All That Glitters" set up her next shot. A guy
gets off the elevator and asks, "Are they shooting a
commercial?"
"It's a movie," says Carey.
"Really?" says the guy. "Anybody famous in it?"
The biggest-selling female pop artist in the world gave the guy a sly smile, then stepped outside, to the excitement of a mob of young fans.
"All That Glitters" features Mariah as a singer whose deejay boyfriend, played by Max Beasley, helps her get into the music business, only to turn jealous and controlling.
The appearance of Carey's real-life boyfriend, Latin crooner Luis Miguel, had some wondering if life was imitating movie melodrama."We're very happy together," Carey assures us. She says Miguel came up from Mexico when the film wrapped to whisk her off on a tropical vacation. "I'm trying to get over a cold."
Meanwhile, we hear her ex, Sony Music chairman Tommy Mottola, may be ready for one more altar-ation. It's said that he and Mexican TV star Thalia have set a date to wed here the first week in December.
- When Cameras Cross The Line
Mariah was mentioned on this FOX special last night! Basically it was said that the Paparazzi took pics of Mariah during her Honey Video shoot in Puerto Rico and she didn't even notice them!! Thanks to PreciozaPR, BriStuWalt and Alan for this information!
| October 18, 2000... |
- Update #2- New Picture from Japan
Ayako took a picture of this new Nescafe ad in Japan with a digital camera!! It's a pretty cool picture and you can check it out by clicking the thumbnail below:
- Magazine News
Vanessa told me that Mariah is the latest issue of InStyle Magazine!! In Instyle, it shows what type of watch Mariah wears. Also, she is in the October 23rd issue of TV y Novelas. It talks about Mariah's men (Luis and Derek).
- Mariah's Princess Motorcade
Thanks to Tomas for this next article:
FICTION A FACT: Kirk Wong's feature, Six, starts filming next Monday. It's a movie adaptation of a local, real-life tragedy, when six young men from Durham Region disappeared in Lake Ontario. They were last seen launching a small boat from a Liverpool Rd. dock after a St. Patrick's Day party ... The Safety Of Objects is a safety in numbers sort of thing. The film about the trials of four suburban families features Glenn Close, Dermot Mulroney, Patricia Clarkson and Timothy Olyphant. All are considered part of an ensemble cast in the Rose Troche-directed production based on the collection of stories from A.M. Holmes ...Yo, Sly Stallone's wrap party for his Rocky-on-wheels film, Driven, formerly Champs, is at Montreal's Planet Hollywood soon. Montreal is where Stallone's cast and crew went after they had their way with Toronto this summer. At least Mariah Carey stuck around here for All That Glitters and had a hearty party in Hogtown. Gone but not forgotten will be Mariah's "princess motorcade" arriving on set each day.
- She's All That
Thanks to Ashes for this article from NW Magazine:
On location in New York, Mariah Carey chats on a mobile during
the final weeks of filming her first starring role in a movie, All That
Glitters. In her own story idea, Mariah plays a young girl who grows
up in a dirt-poor neighborhood, and gets her big break when a DJ
(Max Beesley) hears her demo tape. "The film is set in the club
scene of the early 80's," she says. "My character is in a girl group.
She's discovered by this DJ, and they have a relationship. But the
film is more about her getting in touch with herself and her mother,
because she gets taken away from her mom at an early age." Like
Mariah, who has a black Venezuelan father and an Irish-American
mother, the charcter is multi-racial. "But in her case, her mother's
black, and her father's white," Mariah says. And it's hard not to
notice the similarities between the DJ character and Mariah's ex-
husband, Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, who's widely
assumed to have had a Svengali-like control over her career until
their 1998 divorce. The film is due out in mid 2001.
- Update #1
- MTV Uncensored
LilMariah7 told me that this was the show that aired a while back that showed an interview with Mariah and Tabitha from 1997! Tabitha was shown flipping out and then Mariah rolled her eyes and said OK!! So this show is a repeat on Oct 21st at 4 pm but check it out if you missed it!
- Entertainment Tonight
Mariah was mentioned on last nights Entertainment Tonight! It was a feature on Faith Hill for the Grinch Soundtrack! Eric sent me the transcipt for it and here it is:
| October 17, 2000... |
- MTV UncensoredDionne sent me the following news which was orignally taken from Mariah Online! This show will mention Mariah too, I am told and it airs on October 21st at 4 pm EST on MTV!
MTV Uncensored will give a revealing look at MTV as told by the people who were there. The 2 hour special begins with a self-deprecating peek into the MTV archives - the untold stories, the real deal, the secrets they said we'd never tell. MTV Uncensored uncovers it all from the origins of MTV to the craziest contests to homegrown stars to "Choose or Lose."
MTV Uncensored will reveal who auditioned to be VJs back in the day, as well as the very first television appearances of Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and the pre-Marilyn Manson, just to mention a few. Viewers will also get to see our first attempts at putting on a live show, as well as interviews from hell and never-before-seen footage, such as behind-the-scenes clips of "Unplugged" that never aired, the pilots for "Remote Control" featuring Ted Demme as host, and the first pilot of "The Real World."
These moments don't come together by themselves....you'll see what it's like to work at MTV with interviews from real MTV staffers. Finally, MTV Uncensored will look at the new shows and the new relationships that will inevitably make the sequel.
- DENIM DEJA VU
Mariaklamby aka Danielle sent me this STAR article last week but I somehow forgot to add it sadly! Here it is below:
Used to be, dungarees came one way -blue! Now, everyone's jumping into the jean pool with a varitey of shades and designs, as this bevy of Tinseltown beauties illustrates. For the latest in denim style, belt 'em up and dress 'em up like Rene Russo, Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Cut 'em short like Tyra Banks and Mariah Carey, cuff 'em like Christina Aguilera. Or skirt the issue like Heather Locklear. Just don't go the frumpy route like Calista Flockhart and Gwyneth Paltrow, and you'll make the denim dream team!
It says "Mariah Carey gets hip in "bikini jeans" next to her picture.
- VH1's Countdown of 100 Greatest Dance Songs
Here is what Mariahlamby aka Danielle told me:
Hola Lambs :)) Our queen chop was mentioned on VH1's countdown of The 100 Greatest Dance Songs. #57 was a song called Cherchez La Femme (My boyfriend, Bobby-who's also An MC fan) has tha song on CD. It talks about how the song "immortalized the future husband of Miss Mariah Carey" (very similar to tha description in tha CD booklet). It showed an old pic of Tommy, and a pic of him and Mariah at their wedding. It's a jazzy sounding song, so if u like Jazz, then u'll prolly like tha song. I thought it was goofy when I first heard it, but I like it now :)) The song starts out with tha words "Tommy Mottola lives on tha road. He lost his lady two months ago". (3 years now lol) "Maybe he'll find her, maybe he won't..." It's a funny song. If u like Wu Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah LOL has his own version of this song called "Cherchez La Ghost". I just LOVE that song :)) It pretty much used tha whole song as a sample. A sample is part of a song that someone uses in their own song; like how Mariah used music from "Genius Of Love" for Fantasy.
- Seperated at Birth
Thanks to Nini for this following article which she found here
By Chris Macias
Bee Pop Music Writer
(Published Oct. 13, 2000)
Hit singles, skimpy outfits and a super-soprano vocal range that could bring dogs to their knees. So who are we talking about -- Mariah Carey or Christina Aguilera? Sure, it's easy to link Aguilera with fellow teen-diva Britney Spears, but a closer look reveals that Aguilera may actually have more in common with Carey.
Christina: Won a Grammy Award for "best new artist" in 2000.
Mariah: Won a Grammy Award for "best new artist" in 1990.
Christina: Was romantically linked to Latin crooner Enrique Iglesias.
Mariah: Was romantically linked to Latin crooner Luis Miguel.
Christina: Has her own doll, which blurts "Genie in a Bottle" when the navel is pushed.
Mariah: Had her own record company, Crave Records, until the plug was pulled in 1998.
Christina: Father is of Ecuadorian descent; mother is Irish American.
Mariah: Father is of Venezuelan and African American descent; mother is Irish American.
Christina: Landed a slot on People magazine's "worst dressed" list this year.
Mariah: Landed a slot on People magazine's "all-time worst dressed" list this year.
Christina: Was sidelined briefly from touring this year because of throat problems.
Mariah: Was sidelined briefly from touring this year after eating a bad batch of raw oysters.
Christina: Sang "Reflection," the theme song for the animated flick "Mulan.".
Mariah: Sang "When You Believe," the theme song for the animated flick "The Prince of Egypt."
Christina: Was dissed by Eminem this year in the song "The Real Slim Shady.".
Mariah: Was dissed by critics this year for her ill-staged tour.
Christina: Early in her career, she lost on "Star Search.".
Mariah: Early in her career, she lost many waitressing jobs due to excessive attitude..
- Right On Magazine
Last week, I reported that Mariah is in Right On Magazine! Well, I got the magazine and it is NOT a 4 page poster in it, as I thought! It's a very nice pinup of Mariah from the Lady of Soul Awards. Check out the scan in Gallery 42!!
- Mariah in "The Source"
Melissa told me that Mariah is mentioned on page 56 in the November issue of Source Magazine! There is no picture, just a mention and here is the article:
KMel's annual All-star summer Jam, which draws tens of thousands of urban-music fans to the shoreline Amphitheater every year, boasts a storied history. In 1990, a then unknown Mariah Carey made her first public performance. Backstage beef at the 1995 event between the Luniz and TOO Short resulted in newspaper headlines and a moratorium on local artists that has continued to this day. Nevertheless, Summer Jam has remained one of the country's premier showcases for both up-and-coming artists and national acts. This year's show, featuring Jay-Z, Lil' Kim, JD and Da Brat, Missy Elliot, Lucy Pearl,Nelly, Kurupt, Master P and the 504 Boyz, Ideal, Next and Carl Thomas, proved no exception to this rule.
- Mariah on Entertainment Tonight
BriStuWalt told me that last night Entertainment Tonight announced that on today's show they will cover the Faith Hill song on The Grinch Soundtrack! They might give a first listen to it or they might even mention that Mariah cowrote it! Check it out on tonight's Entertainment Tonight!
- Westlife Warn Aguilera
Thanks to Ashes for this following article from BBC Online!
We can now say goodbye to the sweet-natured, butter wouldn't
melt image of Westlife. Kian and Shane have laid into Christina
Aguilera big time. The lads say that after working with Mariah they wouldn't want to
work with anyone below her level of mega-stardom, and that
Christina was near the bottom of their list:
"There's no way in the world that we're going to do that, because
first of all we don't like her, and second of all we don't rate her."
Shane told Radio 1 their dislike for her came about after a brief
meeting in a bar: "She made Mark remove himself from his chair,
'coz she was Christina and he was nothing. When you've got
ignorance at that level, we don't tolerate it!" In the process of dissing Christina, Kian got a bit tongue-tied: "When you do a duet with someone of Mariah's statature..." "I actually don't think that that is a word, Kian. I think it's stature," said Shane. "I was trying to be intelligent there. Sometimes it doesn't work," was Kian's reply.
- Beanie Baby Lamb
Okay I must say, I do NOT collect Beanie Babies but I was walking in the mall yesterday with my best friend Alex and I saw the Beanie Babies 2000! They have a new lamb and he is made of this really soft material now!! He was so cute, so of course I had to buy him! I bought the other version of the lamb last year and I bought the Butterfly yesterday too! Check out the new Beanie Baby lamb guys, he's so cute and soft!

- Carey As 'Wonder Woman'?Thanks to PreciozaPR for the following article:
Has Mariah Carey been offered the title role in the developing Wonder Woman movie? According to the UK's Daily Star newspaper (via Popcorn), the singer has been offered the role by Joel Silver and company. The tabloid claims to have spoken to an unnamed "friend" of the singer, who revealed, "She's delighted to have been offered the role of Wonder Woman. She likes fun films as she has a great sense of humour, so a role like this would suit her better than a serious one." The Insider has placed a call to Carey's people and will report back to you as soon as we get a response
- Wall Of Sound
Tim told me that there is a special feature on Wall of Sound website which features several pictures on Mariah! Check them out if you like!
- Sotto Sotto
Thanks to Ashes for the following article!
COSMOPOLITAN Mariah Carey is putting a new spin on being a
diva. The songbird, who's been busy in Toronto filming her semi-
autobiographical movie, All That Glitters, brought so many clothes
with her that she booked two suites in two seperate hotels to
handle the overflow, say sources on the set. But apparantly that
extensive wardobe didn't stop her from showing up at the city's
posh Sotto Sotto restuarant in cuttoff jean shorts, to the shock of
her fellow diners. Lucky for her, the bistro was nice enough to relax
its normally rigid dress code and let Carey come in and chow down.
- Nicky Bryne hates Against All Odds Video
Thanks to Ashes for the following article!
Westlife star Nicky Bryne has slammed the group's current video
with Mariah Carey as "the worst thing" they have ever done. And
the star claims the whole thing was Mariah's idea. The video for the
chart-topping "Against All Odds" shows them recording the song in
the studio with the American superstar. But Nicky claims the lack
of care with the filming did not make for a glamorous final product.
He says, "It was absolutely awful, and if Mariah wasn't in it, it
would definitely be the worst thing we've ever done." The video had
to be re-edited after fellow group member Bryan McFadden was
shown slyly peeking down Mariah's cleavage.
- Against All Odds
Thanks to Ashes for the following article!
'Against All Odds' features the incredible pairing of global superstar
Mariah Carey and the hottest band in the UK in the last two years,
Westlife. Mariah originally recorded 'Against All Odds' as a track
for her latest album 'Rainbow', but after meeting Westlife in Los
Angeles, she suggested they work together on this version.
Recorded in Capri, this classic song (written and originally
recorded by Phil Collins in 1984; the track was a worldwide #1
smash) looks set to become one of the most loved collaborations
of the year. 'Against All Odds' single debuted this week at #1 on
UK singles chart! Says Mariah, "I really enjoyed working with
Westlife. They are so refreshingly down to earth considering their
massive success and their talent is undeniable. I'm really pleased
with the way the song came out; their vocals took the track to a
whole new place." Both artists have enjoyed multi- platinum
success and record-breaking status. Mariah made chart history
last year when 'Heartbreaker' became her 14th US #1 single and
broke the record set by the Beatles for the most weeks spent at
the top of the charts. She was also the best selling female artist of
the '80s (128 million records and counting...) and has won
numerous awards including 2 Grammy Awards, 8 Amercian Music
Awards, and was named 'Artist of the Decade' by Billboard
magazine. Westlife have also made chart history by becoming the
first act ever to reach the UK #1 spot with their first five singles.
This is a UK first that not even the Spice Girls, the Rolling Stones
or Madonna achieved.

- Update #2- Star Tabloid
I picked up the STAR tabloid at work today and I added the scan below!! Check out Mariah from the All That Glitters set!
- Mariah in Barabados
Well, it seems Mariah took a probably well needed little vacation these last 2-3 days!!! However, she only seems to have gotten those 2-3 days off only because she is back at work, filming part of a new video! Hmm, wonder what that is??? Such a workaholic :) Thanks to
Mariah's Diary for the following article and pic!!
Mariah Carey's Bajan Holiday -
Saturday-14-October-2000
by Hayden Boyce
Singing sensation Mariah Carey left Barbados last night after two days of relaxation.
Sporting a white swimsuit with a matching silk sarong, the smiling 28-year-old left in her private jet for St. Maarten where she will film part of a music video.
Carey's Barbados vacation started Thursday with a West Coast cruise on the catamaran Vahine, which is managed and skippered by Nick Parker. She later had dinner at The Cliff, Paynes Bay, St. James, then slept for most of yesterday before having a massage and a late afternoon swim.
Yesterday, the songstress also visited Eddy Grant's Blue Wave studios where she intends to record in the near future.
Carey stayed at Glitter Bay Hotel, St. James, and her arrival and departure arrangements were done by Platinum Services.
Describing Barbados as a "beautiful place", she said she "had a good time and enjoyed the beaches".
Before coming to Barbados, she was in New York where she completed a movie, All That Glitters.
- Update #1
- New Picture of Mariah!
In the Globe tabloid, Mariah is mentioned saying that she bought couches for her doggies! In the STAR, there is a new picture similiar to the one on the set from ATG which Minerva sent me 3 days ago! However, this time it's a closer up view and she is making a funny face! I should have that scan for you later today or by tomorrow. Both tabloid are October 23rd issues and thanks to Danielle, we have the type out of the article in the STAR tabloid!
PEARLY FRIGHTS
Yep, that's Mariah Carey flashing a gruesome grimace and teetering on tacky heels. But don't fret, Mariah hasn't lost her fashion senses. She's just filming a scene in the Big Apple for the upcoming flick All That Glitters.
- Vanity Fair Article
Moni typed out the Vanity Fair article for us and you can check it out below! It's nice to see she is presented as a singer, songwriter and producer, whether then just a singer! It's about time the gal is given some credit!
MARIAH CAREY Singer, songwriter, producer.
Nine albums, 14 No. 1 singles (the most ever after Elvis Presley and the
Beatles); obsessed since childhood with the word "Guam." She can belt, she can croon, she can sob, and she can hit helium highs unheard in pop since the heyday of Minnie Riperton--sometimes all in the
space of one astonishing melisma. Pipes: she's got 'em. And unlike some of
her fellow "divas," Carey tends even the rotest of ballads with hints of
actual personality. But whose? Is she the savvy, driven woman who has
taken control of life and career after the bust-up of her marriage to Tommy
Mottola, her former mentor at Columbia Records? Or the lolly-licking Varga
Girl she portrays to such pointed effect of album covers and in videos?
Maybe it's just plain Mariah: the hardest-working homegirl in show business.
We'll get her version when All That Glitters, a film that she's
producing and in which she stars as a young singer on the upswing, is
released next year.
Check out the pics below. Thanks Jen!

- Mariah held back from singing Grinch Song:
This next article is from people.com:
Those won't be Mariah Carey's pipes that you hear warbling the theme song,
"Where Are You, Christmas?" in this holiday season's "How the Grinch Stole
Christmas," starring Jim Carrey. PEOPLE reports that the diva was all set
to do the singing, but it just didn't happen, even though Carey cowrote
the song. Mariah's rep told PEOPLE that Carey didn't have the time to
record, but, reports the magazine, the songbird's ex-hubby, Sony Music
chief Tommy Mottola, wouldn't let her sing for rival MCA/Universal, which
is releasing the picture (based on the Dr. Seuss classic). Faith Hill has
since recorded the song for the soundtrack.
- Mariah on TRL-Kind of
Here is what Desiree told me:
Hi Reg, on today's TRL the news segment was about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and how it has been an influence in popular music and they mentioned MC's ISB remix.
That's it, it was just a passing MC reference, I think they had the story b/c limp bizkit's new album is titled after something in the movie.
- Pink or Black?
Well, there is one more day left for the poll above todays news! Black is in the lead right now but pink keeps on sneaking up! If you havn't casted your vote yet, please do so!!! I have a funny feeling that Black is Mariah's color! Hee hee..
- Mariah on the charts!
Here is what Ramsey told me:
Just had some amazing news, this week 5 years ago marks the date Mariah Carey made history with her first album to debut at number 1, Daydream. Secondly, 10 years ago, the album Mariah Carey remained at number 3 for its third week. But it continued to climb until it reached the number one spot in the country in March 1991.

I think MC looks really pretty in the pic...Glamour Diva! Check out that picture in All That Glitters Gallery Plus, Alan sent me a scan from a NY Chinese paper!

- Bravo Translation
Honey and Kate translalted the Bravo article for us and here it is:
With a happy smile popdiva Mariah Carey dances through the streets of New York. Next to her a good looking young man...her new lover? Or is Mariah just shooting a new clip? Neither nor - Mariah is shooting her first movie "All That Glitters" in Canada and New York right now. Together with Max Beesley she plays her own story: She, the young singer wants nothing but her breakthrough and is fighting for her goal. The movie'll hit the cinemas in spring 2001!" The text below the picture means "Mariah on the set in New York. "All That Glitters" will also have a soundtrack album with new Mariah songs.
- AAO with Westlife to be released in the states?
Well still no word on it officially being released but the import should be here by November or December! Thanks to Desiree for the following information from:
http://www.billboard.com/ask/
What Are The Odds?
Hi Keith,
I recently read that Mariah Carey did a duet with Westlife called "Against All Odds" and it reached No. 1 in the U.K. Are there any plans for a U.S. release as well? I heard the duet and thought it would do really well on this side of the Atlantic.
Thanks,
Karl Davidson
kal635@aol.com
Hi Karl,
Indeed, "Against All Odds" spent two weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart. Mariah Carey's cover of Phil Collins' 1984 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 was originally found on her Columbia "Rainbow" set, but was re-recorded with Westlife a few months ago. "Against" is Carey's second No. 1 in the U.K. -- her first was also a cover tune. Her 1994 version of Nilsson's "Without You" hit No. 1 on both the U.K. singles chart and on the Hot 100. For Westlife, it was the Irish boy band's sixth No. 1 in the U.K. In the U.S. the group reached No. 20 on the Hot 100 with its first single on this side of the pond, "Swear It Again." The Arista title, which peaked at No. 2 on Hot 100 Singles Sales, has sold 590,000 units according to SoundScan. The quintet's self-titled debut album reached No. 129 on The Billboard 200 in June. According to Columbia, there is no word yet on whether the remake of "Against All Odds" will see a commercial release in the U.S.
- VH1 wire on All That Glitters
Thanks to Dennis for the following except from the VH1 Wire
Mariah was also intending to contribute six songs to the soundtrack,
including her recent No.1 "Heartbreaker". The song and her latest album
"Rainbow" were the product of the movie's original delay. "I wasn't even
planning on doing an album," she said. "And then the movie was pushed
back and I was working on other songs for the movie and, you know, we
said let's just finish the record and put it out."
Carey also sought outside help for the project. "I actually also spent a brief few minutes with the Artist formerly knownas Prince discussing the soundtrack," Carey said, "and he was giving me some possible things to work on and to write, too. I've been a fan of his forever and it was a great experience."
- New Background
Denise sent me a really cute background for the Main page and the News Page background! It's 4 little lambs and it's Mariah's favorite color, pink! Come on, you got to love it! Hee hee...
- Tommy Stops Mariah from The Grinch Soundtrack!
JoseAR95 told me that in the new People Weekly Magazine (Oct. 23rd I believe-Celine is on cover) there is a small picture and little caption that said Tommy wouldn't allow Mariah to sing the Christmas Song for The Grinch soundtrack because it was on a rival music company! So, it went to Faith Hill!!! I know that ticks me off, what about you?

JoseAR95 also told me that in Vanity Fair, they made an incorrect statement saying that Mariah had 14 number one hits instead of 15 number 1 hits. Also, Mariah is US Weekly (October 23rd issue I think) and it has a picture of her from Diva's Live 2000 and an article talking about her playing Wonderwoman! She is on page 2 and 78. Thanks to Isa for that info! Make sure to pick up Vanity Fair today!!

It was so cute and I was sitting here laughing listing to them goofing off! Here is the transcript of the message, thanks to International Mariah Carey Fan Organization:
Mariah-Hi! Yea I do believe that um...Hey this is the last day of shooting (in the background you can hear Da Brat saying Boo) All That Glitters ...This Is Mariah incase you couldn't understand that from the HI! *Laughs* And we're sitting here and I've got someone here that, yea, wants to say hello to you. She's playing one of the characters of Louise and I do believe you know what her name is...

Yes, infact this is the last day *Mariah in the Background says Of the showww*...Of the shoooow, and I would really like to cuss and stuff but I don't wanna do that on the phone so the show was great and the S**T! The show's awesome I'm gonna pass the mic over to the cast and they're gonna bust a nice freestyle for you. We've got....Yea the 80's, the ensembles and the things of that...Mariah told me to tell y'all that.

- Mariah mentioned in Teen Magazine
Well this isn't a very happy story but read below what Mcluvr told me:
There's an advice page in the mag, and there's this one girl whose multi-racial and that she was being verbally abused, people calling oreo and mutt, and it drove her to the point of suicide. In the answer column, they mentioned that Mariah too is multi-racial along with tiger woods.
I guess it kind of gives you an idea of what mariah had to go through during her childhood. It's very depressing.
- Magazine News
JoseAR95 told me that Mariah is in the November issue of Word Up Magazine! There is a picture of her in a pink outfit from this years Blockbuster Awards and they talk about her sister's book! Plus, Cheri went to the store the other day and looked through 30 magazine for Mariah! She found some that she was in and some I already reported but here is a reminder anyway!
- People's Most Famous Pictures
I was leaving work on Tuesday night and I walked past the magazine rack! I saw a magazine/book saying something along the lines of, "People's Favorite Pictures!" Anyhow though, there is a full page on Mariah inside! It's a picture of her on a couch, upside down from 1991! There is a little article about her also! The book/magazine is $9.99! I didn't buy it but I might!!
- Sci Fi Channel
Linda tells me that the Sci-Fi Channel reported that it is just a rumor about Mariah being Wonder Woman!!!
- Against All Odds in Australia
Here is what Benjamin told me:
Howdy, Mariah's 'Againts All Odds' will be released in Australia after all .
No exact date has been published but it will be released this month (
October ) . I'm not sure whether that it is the one with Westlife or
not but I think it is after the stunning victory in the UK . YEAH !!!!!
Here is the release page from Sony Australia :

- Bits O' Information
Here is some various information I received on Miss Mariah
Hey, I thought u might be interested in knowing that mariah was on vh1's top 10 countdown this orning at like noon. she was in the "news" section. she was wearing the same pink top and was being interviewed by rebecca rankin. it was short, like a minute, but it's really nice.
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that VH1 did the 100 greatest dance songs countdown. I didn't watch the whole thing, but Fantasy or Honey could've been on the countdown. Anyway, an online vote was done for the best slow dance songs of all time, and MC's Vision of Love was #5! Pretty kool, huh?

- Mariah Australian Single
Neil would like you to check out the below message:
Hi, Howz it going? This is Neil, President of the 'AMCF - Australian Mariah
Carey Fanclub'. I'm emailing you because myself and all the rest of Mariah's
Aussie fans need your help desperately!
Here's the deal:
It has just been annouced that Mariah's duet with Westlife will be released
here in Australia within the next week or so. Today was the day it was
annouced, and already it's getting bad publicity (You can read about all
that at the AMCF News page!).
The AMCF has a great request page with heaps of emails and URL's to the most
popular Australian TV and radio stations and programs. However, even if all
our members requested, it still wouldn't be enough. That is why we're asking
you, our international friends, for some help!
So, PLEASE, Post this link:
http://www.tow-friends.com/AMCF/requests.html
on your websites. It'd be greatly appreciated!!!
Also, visit the AMCF main website to read exactly what has been going on in
the press lately about Mariah:
