The School Gyrls, which comprise of teens Mandy Moseley, Monica Anne Parales, and Jacque Rae Pyles; are signed to Nick's NCredible Entertainment.

The School Gyrls talk about working with Mariah:

Since you work so closely with Nick, do you get to hang with Mariah Carey at all?
Mandy: We actually got to met her for the first time at Nick's house. When I met her, she was like, "You're Mandy Rain right?" And I was like, "Uhhhh..." [Laughs] She replied with, "I heard [School Gyrls soundtrack tune] 'Detention.' Girl, you are a powerhouse!" I was speechless!

Monica: Miss Mariah Carey has definitely been supportive of the School Gyrls. She actually features on one of our songs called "Get Like Me." It was written by her and Nick. When we were recording the song, she was very hands-on with the sound–like, for example, if the music changed she would be concerned about it. [Laughs] She also came to visit us on set while [we were] filming the movie. She's super sweet and we are so very blessed that we got to work with such an amazing, beautiful, singer.]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:55:23 EST http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkyluFlEkFXuPDbdCw http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkyluFlEkFXuPDbdCw
The 39-year-old diva sent bloggers into a frenzy when she teased on the Oscars red carpet that she has "something special on the way." Of course that means she's preggers, right?

We caught up with Carey's other half, Nick Cannon, who let us in on a little secret...

"It's funny because the big surprise has to do with Home Shopping Network or something like that," Cannon revealed at the Stars & Strikes Fundraiser supporting APCH at PINZ in Studio City. "She has a new product coming out. It has nothing to do with kids."

Mimi may not have a bun in the oven just yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen soon. "We would have a beautiful baby, wouldn't we?" Cannon said. "We're laying the foundation right now. We just got a home out here and all that stuff, and Mariah just came off tour, so we'll see what happens."

In the meantime, the sexy songbird and her hubby are just enjoying married life. "What people don't understand is Mariah has the funniest sense of humor ever," Cannon gushed. "She's hilarious. We always have a good time."]]> Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:15:24 EST http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkyluFVZkudeBgeigd http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkyluFVZkudeBgeigd The Truth About Nursing outburst at Mariah Carey and her video "Up Out My Face." Unfortunately, we can't post all of them but we have one that we want to share with you.

Andrew, a nurse practitioner and a Mariah fan, sends us a copy of his e-mail to the board of directors at The Truth About Nursing. He tells us, "I felt I had to stand up for Mariah Carey and fight back!"

To Whom It May Concern at The Truth about Nursing: I think your newest conquest to banish Mariah Carey's new video "Up Out My Face" is asinine and misguided. As a homosexual male nurse practitioner, I am exhausted with the efforts of such organizations as yours fighting battles that are not worth fighting in healthcare. And claiming that you speak for all nurses? Hardly the case! On your home page you describe Mariah Carey in just as despicable a way, verbally, as she portrays you (nurses) creatively... "but it has often seemed that she doesn't have much to say with it, except: 'I want to be rich, famous, and adored, and if my voice doesn't convince you, how about my body?' Carey has been so well-known for doing whatever is necessary to advance her career that she inspired a 2004 Sonic Youth song about it." Is Mariah Carey well-known for doing "whatever is necessary to advance her career?" I've certainly never heard such a thing. I think she would disagree with the above subjective jargon as would you if someone made the same opinionated comment toward your efforts in life. That statement is as much an opinion about her character as her video is about yours. She deserves an apology from your organization for judging her character and relegating her to merely a physical icon void of intellect, talent, and compassion. This statement is utterly preposterous and how you can allow such nonsense to be on the front page of your website is just as unacceptable as her imagery of nurses as "naughty." Healthcare is in a quorum at this present moment. We are on the brink of such profound changes in medical history that our very careers and lives of our future generations hinge upon our actions now. Our passion directed to ridiculous pop culture is an utter waste of time. How about we redirect our passions from individuals creatively expressing themselves to furthering access of care for our nation and the world? If we are going to hunt down the naughty nurse persona and fight back with our own inadequate arguments, why don't we make it consistent and go after the costume shops, the porn industry, the countless children that dress up as doctors and nurses during Halloween? Why don't we fight for a federal mandate to hinder females from wearing tight fitting white nursing outfits if they have cleavage, for fear that they may be interpreted as "naughty?" Why don't we get off our moral, hypocritical nursing high horses? Additionally, why don't we fight the stereotype that all male nurses are gay? As a gay male nurse practitioner, I'm not at all offended by the jokes and innuendos. Are you? Are others? My skills, intelligence, and passion for patient care speak volumes and subsequently, I am respected – regardless my sexual proclivities. In conclusion, I polled the nurses at my hospital regarding the above topic and not a single nurse agreed with your outburst. As a gay male, who has battled stereotypes all of my life, professionally and otherwise, I would encourage you all to begin fighting battles in nursing that "all" nurses really want to fight. Thanks for your consideration to the above. I would hope that you would see the necessity to apologize to Mariah Carey for the above offenses made to her on behalf of your organization.

Yep, you heard that right. The pop star's video for her song "Up Out My Face" takes the naughty nurse stereotype to a new level of low, according to Sandy Summers, the group's director. Complete with a booty-grazing nurse outfit, white cap and stockings, Mariah's version of naughty nurse has real nurses in an uproar, apparently.

They dissect the video and the lyrics here. The group has even launched a letter writing campaign urging Ms. Carey herself to "make amends by withdrawing the video from all distribution, avoiding the stereotype in the future and publicly apologizing to the nursing profession (in a music video perhaps!)."]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:34:38 EST http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkylFVpuZlAgpDuWSN http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkylFVpuZlAgpDuWSN

The ballad is the second song from Carey's album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" to reach the tally, following the No. 10-peaking "I Want to Know What Love Is." Carey had not charted two tracks from the same album on Adult Contemporary since the title cut from "Butterfly" (No. 11) and "My All" (No. 18) in 1997-98.

Hundreds of top music industry suits paid up to $1,000 each to hear Reid speak at the Billboard 2010 Music & Money Symposium at the St. Regis last week.

But hours before the talk, delegates were told that his son was in the hospital with a head injury and needed surgery. Reid has four sons, from 6 to 29 years old, as well as a daughter, 8.

"There was speculation among other music executives that this was not entirely the truth. Reid didn't want to answer questions about his future with Island Def Jam," a source said. "The move left organizers panicked with no speaker with just hours to go. Vevo CEO Rio Caraeff agreed to stand in."

The Post's Peter Lauria reported last month that R&B impresario Reid is under pressure to break a cold streak following the promotion of Lucian Grainge to CEO of Universal Music Group, which owns Island Def Jam. Following disappointing sales from artists including Rihanna and Mariah Carey, Reid has been ordered to rein in his spending and bring in a hit.

A friend of the dapper Reid -- one of the most powerful men in the US music business -- told us, "L.A. had to cancel because he was called away on family business, not because his son was ill. That was just a story that went around. He isn't afraid to answer questions about his future with the label. He is about to sign J.Lo [Jennifer Lopez] and isn't going anywhere."

A rep for Island Def Jam said, "It was unfortunate, but he was called out of town on personal business and hopes to be able to participate in a future symposium." Billboard declined to comment.]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:51:09 EST http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkylEAFpyAPsQgLjzt http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkylEAFpyAPsQgLjzt Precious. (But not Glitter!)

Why?

Mariah Carey tells me that the legendary filmmaker is her dream director.

"I've never met him, but Bullets Over Broadway is one of my favorite movies ever," Carey told me at the Oscars. "I can quote every word. I think it's amazing."

Sounds like Carey has learned a lesson or two from her glittery flop. "I'm going to try to be careful about what I do," she said. "You've got to work with people who bring you to another level, and you have to surround yourself with people you can fully give yourself to."]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:25:23 EST http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkylEVEAkFqTBjYBPd http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkylEVEAkFqTBjYBPd Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire, starring Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique and Mariah Carey, is now out in stores!

But, as any red-carpet-watcher would expect, Carey was nothing short of stunning when MTV News caught up with her and husband Nick Cannon at the Academy Awards, where the two joked about getting dressed for the big night.

"Of course, she tells me what she's going to wear, and I go pull something out of the laundry hamper and iron it and put it on," Cannon joked. "But she's fabulous."

"He doesn't hardly iron a thing," Carey laughed.

"Yeah, I don't know how to iron," Cannon admitted. "I'm surprised this isn't wrinkled now."

Carey's purple gown clearly didn't come out of a dirty-clothes hamper, but instead of trying on a slew of dresses from different designers, Carey streamlined her wardrobe-selection process by working directly with Valentino.

"We worked with them and did a lot of different sketches and stuff. We just thought it would be a nice moment, a leg moment for a different thing," Carey said, good-naturedly referencing her frequently exposed décolletage.

"What if I had my leg out?" Nick asked.
"You could start a new trend," Carey said.
"What if I had a split from the top of my pants?"
"You do you, man," she said. "That's why I love you."


Precious won 2 out of the six awards it was nominated for at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards: Geoffrey Fletcher for "Writing - Adapted Screenplay" and Mo'Nique for "Actress in a Supporting Role."

The star, upstaging other actresses in a tight black dress showing off her famous curves, was celebrating her cast mates from "Precious," which swept the board at Friday night's awards at the LA Live arena -- seen as a more relaxed precursor to the Oscars.

Carey -- who famously once said, "I don't do stairs" -- had personal security to help her totter onstage. And she further fuelled baby rumors by telling Page Six that she had "something special" on the way.

A source said, "Mariah came out as a presenter but she was having trouble in her heels, which were eight inches high and so spiky, she accidentally stabbed herself in one foot before she was helped onstage.

"She seemed to be the only star hanging onto personal security. Outside the press area she seemed really giddy and was overheard saying jokingly, 'I don't know if I can do this!' And she didn't arrive and leave through an elevator like the other stars. She had a BMW limo pull right up to the stage."

Celebrating without husband Nick Cannon backstage, Carey did nothing to stop rumors that she's pregnant or ready to adopt, telling us, "I have a lot of new acting projects coming up. I am talking to ['Precious' director Lee Daniels] about at least three movies. But there's also something else very special on the way. I can't say any more."

"Precious" dominated the Spirits, winning Best Feature, Best Director, Best First Screenplay for Geoffrey Fletcher, Best Female Lead for Gabourey Sidibe and Best Supporting Female for Mo'Nique.]]> Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:37:06 EST http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkyZAElykyfhHfVbnS http://www.mariahjournal.com/news.shtml#newsitemEkyZAElykyfhHfVbnS
