Also help Jason with reviews if you have some
(jenglisbe@hotmail.com)
I put some work into this, so please read. With Grammy ballots going out
soon, I wanted to remind voters what a great (and critically received) album
Mariah Carey put out. RAINBOW got good reviews, and it sold millions.
She should get a R&B nomination for "Crybaby" with Snoop Dogg.
She also deserves a Pop Vocal nomination for "Can't Take That Away."
Or what about Pop Female and Song noms for "Petals": |

Paging through Easy Exotic (Talk Miramax Books, $16.95), a new cookbook by
model Padma Lakshmi , makes you think two things.
The first: The Spaghetti di Capri on Page 41 really does sound easy and tasty.
How difficult can a little pasta with fresh tomatoes, black olives and basil
be?
The second: No one looks like that while making spaghetti.
The twentysomething (she won't give her age) model/actress/cookbook author
mixes bits of childhood memories of growing up in India and California with
photos of her in silky black slips and white lingerie whipping up low-fat
gourmet dishes.
"I swear they aren't nightgowns!" she says, laughing. "That one with the white
eyelet lace? It's a white sundress. People always say that (it's lingerie),
and I roll my eyes."
The 5-foot-9, 125-pound Lakshmi got the cookbook idea because she had to gain
20 pounds for a movie role. To get it off again, she began cutting out fats.
"I bought a non-stick skillet that was a bit deep, and I would make everything
in that. My girlfriends came over for dinner, and they would really like the
food. I'd say, 'You guys, you have no idea, this has less than 300 calories.'
They would all ask me for the recipes."
Plus, she says, "everyone wants to know what a model eats."
In her case, that meant, yes, everything. "I could always eat whatever I want,
to be honest," she says. "But I just love to cook."
Now, she's a regular on a daily Food Network show called Melting Pot , in
which she does a segment on Fridays called Padma's Passport . "I don't know if
I want to be the next Emeril Lagasse or Julia Child , but the show is good for
me because nobody knows me. It's good to be in everybody's homes once a week.
"It's sort of funny. This cookbook thing just sort of mushroomed. My day job
is acting."
She was born in India. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she joined
her mom in the USA. Lakshmi went to high school in L.A. and studied theater at
Clark University. She lives in L.A. and New York.
She knows that people are curious about her being author Salman Rushdie 's
girlfriend, but, she says, "I want to keep my private life private. Everyone
knows that he's in my life, and he's a very important person in my life. But
it's funny because it almost works to my disadvantage, because people don't
know me in America, and they kept associating me with him."
She hopes that changes soon, and that it will change even more in April when a
movie she's making now called All That Glitters comes out.
In it, Mariah Carey plays Lakshmi's backup singer.
"My character is based on a composite of Apollonia and Vanity from the Prince
days. My boyfriend is very powerful and wants to make me a star. He rounds up
some girls, and she's one of the backup singers. And of course she has the
golden voice."
Yes, Lakshmi sings in the film. "I sing extremely badly, on purpose."
She adds: "Nobody believed that I could really sing. I finally had to hum a
tune, to prove that I wasn't tone-deaf. I don't have a four-octave range like
Mariah or Whitney (Houston), but I can carry a tune."
In the meantime, what does a model really eat?
"I'm like the next person; I'll go out and have a cheeseburger and fries and
then watch it. I'm not a big sweet eater, although I love ice cream.
Everything in moderation. I'm not a food Nazi."
Mariah plays a backup singer who gets discovered, does that ring
a bell? =) I hope Brenda Starr doesnt take offence that this singer
sings really bad on purpose ;) To read more about this model/actress

More release date, from Shino: Release date is September 27.
Anne from Holland has got lots of news: Mariah is in the Dutch magazine called "Beau Monde" and is featured 3 times. In one article it says that Alison is writing a book called "Life with a butterfly" so that is news to me , and at another page they slag off Mariah's dress at the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards - and they call themselves experts - yeah right!? Then there's a small part that mentions Mariah's hair - she straightens her hair with Frizz-Ease and so does Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner , so I can't send any pictures. Sorry!
In a pop magazine they say that Mariah & Luis will spend some time together in September in the Meditterraen Sea and in Luis' house in Marbella in the south of Spain. Rumors rumors rumors - when are they planning to leave them alone? Well, if you live in Marbella, keep your eyes open anyway =) |

Can you believe what you have done, lambs?
You have made a Mariah-song No1 in Hungary!!!!
I can't believe that it have happened!!!
Lots of radios started to play more often and Against All
Odds became a huge hit here because of you guys!
And maybe, maybe Mariah will read this on one of your
sites and I am sure that she will be happy that the
solo version of AAO became a big hit in a small land.
Because I know that Hungary is a small market BUT
this is a big evidence that "Mariah 4" is an amazing
organization!!! Cos all of you and your readers were so
helpful and voted in the past weeks. And it increased
the airplays in a lot of radiostations.
Thank you lambs. Unfortunately I don't know
so many English words to express how much I
appreciate Mariah4!!!!!!
Keep Mariah at #1! Everyone vote 100 times here: |

When children in
Fresh Air Fund
programs head out to a
farm, they usually meet
the likes of Joseph, a
rugged old sheep, and
Cindy, a black and white
cow, two of the farm
animals that provide part
of the city children's
camp encounters with
country life.
But on Thursday, six
children who attended one of the fund's camps arrived at a
different kind of farm near Toronto to meet someone of a
little more stature: the singer Mariah Carey.
The children, most of whom had expressed an interest in the
film industry, were participating in a career orientation
program offered by Camp Mariah, the fund's career
awareness camp. It is a summer sleep-away camp that
shows the children something about their career interests,
and lets them visit adult role models at work.
Camp Mariah is one of five camps in Fishkill, N.Y.,
operated by the fund, a nonprofit agency. The fund also
provides free summer vacations to children from low income
neighborhoods in New York City by pairing city children
with rural and suburban host families.
The camp is named for Ms. Carey, who gave $1 million for
its establishment in 1994 and 1995. The campers share a
particular interest in the singer, who visits every summer.
They make a commitment to attend the camp for three
years, and the newer arrivals pepper the old hands with the
most important question: "Have you met Mariah?"
This year Ms. Carey did not have a chance to visit the camp
because she was filming her first movie, "All That Glitters,"
which is based on her life.
Instead, she invited six campers interested in the film
industry to spend a day with her and the crew on location in
Toronto as they shot some scenes.
The children, four girls and two boys age 12 or 13, flew to
Toronto to see some of the behind-the-scenes work of
making a film. Some campers had never been on an airplane
before, but the highlight of their day came when they met
Ms. Carey, who has had more No. 1 songs than any other
woman. On a farm outside the city, the children watched her
and a crew of about 60 people run through several
78-second takes of the movie's final scene.
Afterward, Ms. Carey, dressed in the beige evening gown
used in the scene, greeted them.
Daniel Potts, who attended the camp for the first time this
summer, was obviously excited.
"I'm so nervous I'm shaking," he acknowledged as the singer
approached. "I'm scared of her."
But he was able to overcome his fear. A few hours later,
when Ms. Carey met the children again, he was the first to
ask her a question: "Did you make the script?" (The answer:
She helped revise it, but did not write it.)
Children who go on the career excursions, which take place
before or after the four weeks they spend at the camp,
watch adults at work. They tour companies like management
consultants, fashion design studios and television networks to
hear adults talk about their jobs and how they prepared for
them.
In addition to meeting Ms. Carey during the visit to Toronto,
the children saw many aspects of a movie production. Peter
Grondy, the film's art director, showed them how he and his
crew would make Copps Coliseum in Toronto look like
Madison Square Garden did in the past.
"We researched what Madison Square Garden looked like in
1983," he told them. "We'll be matching the seat colors and
covering up the signs."
The children also walked through the sawdust-covered
cement studio, where a crew was building an apartment set,
and spoke with the film's co-star, Max Beesley, who advised
them on how to become an actor and how to change a
natural London accent to something a little more New York.
For most of their tour, they were joined by Isabel Gomes,
11, who plays the young Mariah Carey character in the film.
At the end of the day Ms. Carey took the children aside,
away from the cameras and the handlers and the assistants,
to talk to them about making a movie and encourage them to
follow their dreams.
Anyone interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to
the agency may call (800) 367-0003 or visit the Web site,
www.freshair.org, or send a check to the Fresh Air Fund,
1040 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y. 10018.

August 24 - 2000 After the Top 10 hit "Heartbreaker" and the successfull "Thank God I Found You", the Mariah solo version of this song was released earlier this year. You can find that version on the successful album "Rainbow". The version with Westlife is not available on this album. Sixteen years ago "Against All Odds" was a big hit for Phil Collins. When Mariah had recorded her version of "Against All Odds", she shortly afterwards met the boys of Westlife in Los Angeles. She heard several songs by the group, and she liked them so much that she asked them if they wanted to re-record "Against All Odds" with her. ‘It has been a dream come true to work with Mariah’, says Westlife. ‘What really struck us was how professional she was ….. “Against All Odds” is a great choice of song. We love the track and we hope everyone else will too.’ Mariah
was also very pleased with the collaboration: ‘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.' Thanks to Mariah Online |

August 23 - 2000 Clive Davis' new venture is to open its doors this week with $130 million -- less than half of what he originally sought when he broke away from BMG's Arista Records. Half of his new company, Davis Entertainment, is to be owned by BMG, which, under the terms of the deal, can break Davis if he loses more than $50 million. The Post has learned. The official announcement of the new company could be made as early as tomorrow. When BMG made clear it would re-sign Davis to run Arista records, which he founded 25 years ago, the 67-year-old music mogul began shopping around a proposal that would have valued a new company at about $300 million. But he had no takers at that price. His venture, with BMG will be housed in a new office space -- on Fifth Avenue near Arista's headquarters at 57th St., sources say. The big question still remains: Which artists will initiate the label? The unofficial word is that the two headliners will be George Michael and Lenny Kravitz. Angie Stone -- a burgeoning R&B star -- is the only Arista recording artist expected to follow Davis. Speculation over who Davis would nab has been rampant ever since he announced he would launch a new label. Artists that were considered Davis' proteges came out in support of the music man throughout his highly publicized battle with the Bertelsmann execs over the rights to the BMG-owned label. But none of them opted -- or were allowed, because of binding contracts -- to jump ship. Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana, Deborah Cox, Next, LFO and Q-Tip will remain at Arista under the leadership of newly minted CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid. The veteran label exec is also one of many music chiefs looking to ink a deal with pop diva Mariah Carey, who is expected to leave her long-time home, Columbia Records, when she completes the final album of her contract with the Sony Music label. But, without the full backing of a media giant, it is highly unlikely Davis Entertainment will be able to afford the pop diva, who is expected to command about $60 million for a multi-album contract deal. Industry insiders
say while Carey and her management team have not begun the negotiation
process, L.A. Reid and his stable of pop and R&B divas has the money
-- BMG reported worldwide revenues of $4.7 billion for the year ending
June 30, including Arista's $550 million -- and the know-how to work
with the chart-topper. And he has as his executive vice president former
top Sony exec Jerry Blair, who worked closely with the pop singer at
Columbia Records." She also says: Thanks Hilary! |

Back in the summer of 1990 I was working in a record store in Northern California. I remember one day a gentleman came into the store with a friend of his. I was standing behind the counter, he approached me, and excitingly asked if we had Mariah Carey's CD in yet? I remember thinking, I had never heard that name before as I would have remembered it if I did because it was such a pretty and unusual name. I told him, that we did not have music by an artist with that name. He told me something to the effect of, "oh too bad, but you will." Then he turned to his friend and said something like, "oh she is going to be the next big artist, she is a great singer."
After the guy and his friend left the store I remember thinking I had never known anybody with the name "Mariah" and it sounded even prettier with the last name "Carey." It struck me as kind of a relief too that an artist was actually including her last name. Many artists were trying to come out with just one name like "Madonna" and that seemed so played out.
It was soon after that Mariah's song "Vision of Love" was on the charts. At the record store we sometimes played her tape in store and we had it behind the counters because it was a hot seller. I have often wondered though, I could have sworn that when her CD first came out "Love takes time" was not the last song on the CD. It was "Prisoner." I later learned that "Love takes time" was added at the last minute. I am wondering if a few CDs were released without "Love takes time." Can anyone else (long time fans of Mariah's) confirm or deny this? It has always been a question in the back of my mind.
Anyway, the first time I saw Mariah was at the 1990 "Summer Jam" concert (an annual concert of various popular artists). It is hosted by KMEL ( a popular radio station in the Bay Area, Northern California). Mariah was on stage all by herself. I was way far back but I remember seeing her pretty long hair and red dress. I got chills as she sang "Vision of Love." I was so happy to hear that song live because it was a favorite and there was no doubt that she was a major talent. It was just kind of a "matter-of-fact" thought in my mind.
Other artists that played at that concert were: BBD (Bel Biv Divoe), MC Hammer, Michele' (another artist trying to get by with their first name only), I can't remember the others...
I have been a fan of Mariah's since the beginning. Listening to her music has brought me countless hours of joy. I am grateful that she puts out so much of her work. Even with all the music she has out I still can't get enough.
I attended Mariah's San Jose concert this past March 21st. I finally got to see her again. She has not included Northern California in her big tours before. I was talking with some of the people sitting around me at the concert (most of them were much younger than me, I am 30, and they were like in there late teens/early 20's) and we were all happy to have Mariah finally make it out to Northern California. Everyone (including me) was screaming and singing a long with Mariah. It was a lot of fun!
I continue to be a fan of Mariah's more and more with every album she puts out. She has never let me down, there is not one song that I can say that "I do not like." She is a musical genius (in my ever to be humble opinion).
Please make music always!
(Anderz: I can say that I'm not sure if there were any CD's without Love Takes
Time, but I have a couple of vinyls without it.)

Do you know this commercial?
And another piece is the picture that went out to shopping when she visited
Japan in 98.
Because she suddenly turned up the department store was large confusion.
She bought 4 sheets of CD in 98. And, she was buying even very favorite
Hello Kitty.
And of course you find many more pictures on the Love, Love Jack site!

AAO Clip
Westlife: This is gonna be our 6th single and fingers
crossed it will be good for us. We've had a great year
and this has topped it. We said before that this year
couldn't beat last year but we're only 4/5 months into
the year and we're doing a duet with Mariah Carey. It
couldn't be better.
Heartbreaker Clip
MC: The collaboration between Westlife and myself came
about because we actually met. I think a couple of
times but one time at an after party and someone i
know who works for their record company introduced us
and they were really cool and really nice and we
started talking about Ireland and a bunch of different
things and they were very complimentary and we talked
about doing something together and i thought it would
be a cool kind of unique, international collaboration.
Fool Again Clip
Westlife: We're very big fans of Mariah, massive fans
of Mariah, we love her music, especially Mark. Mark's
the biggest and bestest Mariah fan in the whole world.
TGIFY Clip
MC: They'll be big in America because i think they are
very talented and i think once America is exposed to
them no matter what song they have they will do well.
Westlife Clip (Don't know which song)
Westlife: The next album we want to style better we
want, obviously we want the songs to be better than
the first album and we hope to bring some more uptempo
stuff into the album. Not necessarily stuff like other
groups like BSB but create our own uptempo style and
have some really really good, really really banging
uptempo songs as well as the ballards. And the live
tour next year aswell...BLAH..BLAH.... I think as well
we've matured, even though its only been like a year
since we released something, we've matured a lot and i
think you're going to see a lot closer to the real
100% us. Both in interviews and in music. We're a lot
more grown up to the business, we're a lot more used
to it.

Sources close to veteran executive Clive Davis say he has reached an
agreement with BMG Entertainment to start a jointly owned label. The still
un-named start-up provides and odd ending to what had been a surprising and
acrimonious split between Davis, who headed Arista Records, and BMG, its
current owner. Several Arista artists, including LFO, Shannon Curfman,
Deborah Cox and Next, are reportedly slated to follow Davis to the new
company. George Michael is also rumored to be headed for the label, although
his London management firm did not return calls seeking confirmation.
Additionally, Mariah Carey - who has sold nearly 40 million records in the
past ten years and whose contract with Sony expires after her next record -
is among the performers Davis has spoken to in recent weeks.
The sixty-seven-year-old Davis, who started Arista Records twenty-five
years ago and ran it until June, when he was replaced by
producer-songwriter-executive Antonio "L.A." Reid, is one of the most
successful executives in record industry history. After joining Columbia
Records as a staff lawyer in the early Sixties, Davis rose to become
president of both Columbia and its then-parent operation, the CBS Records
Group (The company was subsequently sold to Sony), and its widely credited
with steering Columbia into its role as a leading rock label. Ousted from CBS
in 1973, Davis launched Arista and continued to run it after its acquisition
by BMG. While the label boasts a wide-ranging roster, from Kenny G to Patti
Smith, Davis also took an active personal role in the recording careers of
several Arista acts as executive producer for Whitney Houston, Aretha
Franklin, and most recently, Carlos Santana.
The huge commercial success of Santana's Supernatural, which has sold 13
million copies, made the timing of Davis' departure from Arista surprising:
Few label heads lose their jobs after delivering a blockbuster. But BMG was
reportedly disenchanted with Davis' free spending on promotion and his
apparent unwillingness to develop a successor. Indeed, in an unpublished
interview with ROLLING STONE just weeks before the dispute erupted, Davis
said he entertained no throughts of retiring. "The only time I ask it is at a
dinner party, if anyone asks me." he said with a laugh. "As long as my health
holds out, and it's fine, there's no reason to stop....I think I've got a
number of years before I think about it."
Ultimately, BMG's decision to turn the reins at Arista over to L.A. Reid
provoked an industry tempest, with artists such as House and Santana offering
public support for Davis and rumors abounding that they and other performers
might exit Arista with him. In the end, Santana recieved a new contract and
stayed with Arista, where Houston also remains.
Although one published report placed BMG's initial investment in the new
Davis-run label at $150 million, industry sources say the hard-dollar
commitment is probably a good deal less, with additional funding available on
a per-project basis. One of those future projects could prove to be Carey,
who is said to be talking with several labels about a new contract once her
Sony deal expires. "Clive would love to have Mariah," says a source close to
Davis. "And she has reached out to him." |

reading an article in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine basically
about people spending mega-$$$ to have shopping made easy. They said
the last Christmas, "Barneys New York stayed open late just for Mariah
Carey so she could pick out preasents in private." |
