Mariah Carey is Mariah Carey’s biggest fan. She’s presently in talks to make a Broadway show based on her life. The musical is to be made in 2009, the singer’s spokesperson said.

The show will follow Mariah’s career from her discovery at the age of 20, to her marriage and divorce from producer Tommy Mottola and to her emotional and physical breakdown in early 2000s.

It must be very difficult for Mrs. Nick Cannon to find someone to portray herself. We all know how demanding she is and how much she loves herself. But the source reveals she eyes British rising star Leona Lewis for the role.

Mariah’s not sure if she’ll star in it herself. Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her. Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.”

Any other stars to line up for audition? I don’t know about the whole list but High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens and Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria are surely there on the list.
(I didn’t know Eva Longoria could sing)

Who would you like to see portraying Mariah Carey in the Broadway show?

(Dec. 8) - It's been seven years since Mariah Carey played her most well-known theatrical role in 2001's slightly autobiographical movie 'Glitter,' but she hasn't gotten rid of the acting bug just yet. Carey stars as Krystal, an aspiring singer who flees from her controlling husband and sets off on a journey with two brothers, in her new film, 'Tennessee,' due in select theaters in March 2009.

Acting efforts aside, Carey co-wrote a leading track from the movie -- called 'Right to Dream' -- with Willie Nelson, and she performed it with Nelson's harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, for the soundtrack. Check out the video premiere of 'Right to Dream,' which is chock full of 'Tennessee' footage.

Ciara “Go Girl” featuring T-Pain

So as previously reported “Go Girl” has been selected as the official first single off Ciara’s forthcoming album "Fantasy Ride". The track was produced and also features T-Pain.

The track premiered on Ciara's Myspace this week!

I'm not sure if this song cuts it...Fair enough its an ok song to listen to, but it does nothing.

We all know shes never been the "Mariah Carey or Mary J Blige",Dancing is more up her street...This song doesn't seem like a good dance track, that being said, she has done songs like "Promise and Like a Boy" and made it work...Im just not sure, it seems kinda bland to me.

Maybe more listens and a good video

Her new album "Fantasy ride" is set for a December 2008 release.

According to a press release announcing the project, the song was conceived by Reid, the chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group, after a meeting with the women behind the Stand Up to Cancer campaign.

'The way he came into the store, the mood he was in, I knew this was very serious,' celeb blingmaster Jacob the Jeweler reportedly said of Nick's ring-shopping trip.

While there was no official word at press time whether Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have actually gotten married, People magazine reported on Friday (May 2) that Bishop Clifford Petty of the National Church of God in Governor's Harbour in the Caribbean island of Eleuthera confirmed that he presided over their wedding. Petty provided no details except to say that he did not give a sermon.

Earlier on Friday, the magazine reported that Jacob the Jeweler, who reportedly made Carey's ring, confirmed the wedding. The magazine also cited an unnamed source as saying that the singer obtained a marriage license in Eleuthera, although a representative at the island's register's office told MTV News on Friday that she has no record of a license in Carey's or Cannon's names. However, Monique Gomez, a Bahamian attorney in Nassau who specializes in family law. told People.com, "The minister would make sure [the license] goes into the registry. It's still a valid marriage even if it's not filed. Anywhere in the world."

Eleuthera is located next to the island of Windermere, where Carey reportedly owns a home. The Web site of the island's register's office states that couples wishing to get married there need only spend one day in the Bahamas before submitting an application for a marriage license; they also must fill out the application together at the register's office, pay a fee of $40, and in Mariah's case, a certification of her divorce (from her ex-label head Tommy Mottola) must be produced. The license is valid for three months. People's report states that Carey herself obtained the license.

Some have speculated that Carey actually may have married or be marrying Mark Sudack (a member of her management team whom she has long been rumored to be dating), but TMZ.com claimed on Friday that those reports are untrue. Also on Friday, a rep for "The View" confirmed that Carey had been scheduled to tape the show on Monday (for a segment scheduled to air Friday, May 9) but had canceled.

Neither Cannon's nor Carey's spokespeople have returned calls for comment from MTV News, and Cannon evaded a series of questions from MTV News on the matter Monday.

However, a relative of Cannon's, Linda Cannon (her relationship to the singer was not detailed), reportedly told E! News on Thursday, "Yes, we know. He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him. I'm not going to give you any details, but we are happy for him."

Carey, 38 and Cannon, 27, reportedly have been dating for less than two months, which is half as long as Cannon was going out with Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks when he proposed to her with a 15-carat stone via a JumboTron in New York's Times Square. Cannon and Ebanks broke up in October.

Last week, Carey was spotted wearing a large diamond ring that began the speculation that she and Cannon were an item. According to The Associated Press, Jacob quickly put out a press release about the ring Cannon reportedly gave Carey, which described it as "crafted from platinum and features a square emerald cut fancy light pink diamond as the center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds and two half moon diamonds on each side. ... The total carat weight of the ring — center stone is 10 carats — is a jaw-dropping 17 carats with a value of $2.5 million."

On Friday, People.com reported that Jacob (whose last name is Arabo) told them, "The way he came into the store, the mood he was in, I knew this was very serious. He said 'Jacob, I'm in love. This is what I want to do.' He said he wanted something in pink, so he picked something in a light purple-ish pink. He was very involved and he trusted me to design the ring."

Arabo reportedly added, "He loves her. That's all I know."

A number of media outlets have speculated that this episode is a publicity stunt, though the couple have been seen in public numerous times since Cannon filmed a cameo in the video for Carey's new single, "Bye Bye," several months ago.

Celebrity weddings

    

Mariah Carey loves being called a diva.
The 'Hero' singer - who is renowned for her outrageous demands - says it's a compliment to have that reputation because it means she's successful. She said: "They throw that word around like it's a friggin' Frisbee!
"I grew up hearing it, because my mother is an opera singer. The actual definition is 'a talented female singer.' Definition two is 'a difficult woman who is successful,' I believe. So I take it as a compliment."
Despite her reputation, Mariah insists she doesn't make enough demands.
The 38-year-old star told Parade magazine: "You know what? I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don't think I'm demanding enough. I think if I were more demanding, I would have felt that I had some sort of power, as opposed to feeling like a pawn, which is something I had to grow out of."
