Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey might be rivals on the music charts, but they will soon be co-stars in director Tyler Perry’s next movie. 

Perry announced the cast for his upcoming film titled “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf.”

Yes, the title is lengthy. 

The film will star Jackson, Carey, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Jurnee Smollett, Kerry Washington, Kimberly Elise and Loretta Divine. 

Perry told MTV the movie will be released in late 2010 or early 2011. 

The movie is based on a 1975 play that deals with rape, abandonment and abortion.

With the list of high-profile names attached to this film, it will probably do well at the box office.

Pop diva Mariah Carey is preparing to release a remix album.

The album titled “Angels Advocate” will be in stores March 30, according to a record company news release. 

The album will feature remixes and new versions of songs that were on her “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” album. 

The first single from the remix album is “Angels Cry,” which is duet with R&B singer Ne-Yo. 

Carey will go head-to-head with Usher when her remix album is released March 30 because Usher is releasing his new album Raymond v. Raymond on the same day.

Jamie Foxx said it best when he sang “blame it on the al-al-al-al-al-alcohol.”

MariahCarey responded to reporters’ questions about her mumbling acceptance that she gave at Tuesday’s International Film Festival Awards.

During a backstage interview with reporters backstage at the People’s Choice Awards, Carey said alcohol was to blame for her tipsy behavior at the film festival.

She said “We were celebrating and having little splashes, and I hadn’t eaten, and that’s what it was. We were celebrating the movie and all the exciting stuff going on. There’s a time for celebration and a time for not – but really technically, it’s a party atmosphere. We had splashes of champagne. I love Lee (Daniels), but he’s a bad influence.”

In case you missed that acceptance speech, click here to watch it. Like I said before, Carey is one of the most successful and hardest working women in show business. She deserves to let loose and get tipsy every now and then.

Carey won an award for her role in the film “Precious.”  When she gave her acceptance speech, her behavior was bizarre.

Some people are speculating she was drunk.  I’m not going to judge her. She’s one of the most successful and hardest working singers in the world.  Therefore, maybe she deserves to get tipsy every once in a while. 

The video clip is posted below.  You can judge for yourself.

Unlike many celebrities, Mariah Carey won’t be ringing in the new year sipping on crystal or Belvedere vodka.

Instead, she will be performing a show for her fans.  Carey will host a concert the night of New Year’s Eve at Madison Square Garden. 

Carey made the announcement on her Web site.  Tickets will go on sale Nov. 9 for members of her fan club and Nov. 14 for the general public. 

Carey also recently completed filming a music video for her new song titled “H.A.T.U.”  The song appears on her album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.”

Pop singer turned actress Mariah Carey will appear on two late night talk shows this week to promote her upcoming film. 

Mariah will appear will be on “Jay Leno Show” tonight (Nov. 2) and  CNN’s “Larry King Live” on Wednesday (Nov. 4) . 

She has a role in the film titled “Precious,” which also stars Gabourey Sidibe Paula Patton, Mo’nique and Lenny Kravitz.  The film’s executive producer is Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. 

The movie will be in selected theaters Dec. 3.  The movie is about the hardships of an overweight girl named Claireece Precious Jones who was sexually abused and impregnated by her father and physically abused by her mother. 

Mariah portrays a social worker in the film.  The trailer is posted below. 

Meanwhile, Mariah’s music career is in full swing.  Her latest CD “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is currently number 14 on the Billboard charts.  The CD features the songs “Obsessed” and “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

Superstar singer Mariah Carey failed to reach the number one on the Billboard charts this week.  Her new CD titled “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” didn’t even make the number two position.

Instead, it debuted at number three.  The CD sold 168,000 copies in its first week. 

Barbra Streisand’s “Love is the Answer” occupies the number one position, and Paramore’s new CD “Brand New Eyes” took the number two spot.

Having a CD reach number three is an accomplishment for a new or mediocre artist.  However, it’s considered a disappointment for someone of Mariah’s caliber because most of her albums debut at number one.

Mariah released two singles to support the CD–”Obsessed” and a remake of Foreigner’s “I Want To Know What Love Is.” 

Maybe if she goes on a concert tour and do extra promotion, the CD might have longevity.  The complete Top 10 Billboard Albums chart will be posted later today.

Mariah Carey is starring in an upcoming film titled “Precious,” which will be released in selected theaters later this fall. 

The movie is about the hardships of an overweight girl named Claireece Precious Jones who is impregnated by her father and abused by her mother. 

Mariah portrays a social worker in the film.  The abusive mother is played by comedian Mo’Nique. 

The movie is based on the novel titled Push written by Sapphire.

The film also stars Paula Patton, Lenny Kravitz. “The View” co-hostess Sherri Shepherd and Gabourey Sidibe. 

Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey served as executive producers for the movie.  A video clip of the movie preview is posted below.

I think we now know the reason why singer/actress Christina Milian and music producer Terrius ‘The Dream” Nash eloped in Las Vegas earlier this month. 

Christina is pregnant with The Dream’s baby, according to US Weekly magazine.   The couple confirmed their engagement two months ago, and they secretly wed in Sin City on Sept. 4. 

It’s probably because Christina wanted to marry and fit into that wedding dress before the pregnancy started to effect her slim figure.  Congratulations to the happy couple.

Christina recently appeared in “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and “Bring It On” Fight to the Finish.”

The Dream recently completed songs for Mariah Carey’s upcoming CD “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” which will be in stores Sept. 29.

Fans of pop star Mariah Carey will be disappointed to learn the release date for her new CD “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” is being postponed again. 

Carey posted a message on her Web site that said “Mariah is putting the finishing touches on her newest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, and we have shifted all of our TV and promo appearances to coincide with the new release date of September 29th. We can’t wait for the fans to hear the new album!!”

The CD was originally scheduled for release Aug. 25, then it was postponed to Sept. 15.  Now, the new date is Sept. 29. 

Her song “Obsessed” is currently number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

Carey also cancelled a concert performance on NBC’s “Today Show” scheduled for Aug. 28.  She will be replaced by Miley Cyrus.
