E! News mentioned Mariah when they reported that Nick appeared at the MGM
party in CT last night. Both E! News and Daily 10 reported plans for the 2nd
wedding ceremony. I Thanks to Moony I
We are finally married and our wedding was simply amazing!!
I am truly happy that I am able to be with Nick..
Just recently, we had a gigantic wedding party at Six Flags Mountain theme
park.
The event was beautifully decorated with pink balloons, pink cakes and
everything else pink!
I was so happy!

you, I love you, I'm sorry that I haven't been calling you as much as I should
be, and everybody is mad at me for not calling them, so it's not just you
guys. Believe me, I always wanna call you, the lambs, the fans, whatever you
wanna say, "lambs 4 life", I know that a few of you noticed that laughs on the
back of the album cover, but anyway, I just wanted to send my love and
gratitude for everything and send you a lot of blessings and just thank you
for everything, really seriously, right Rachel?
Rachel: Yeah, you guys are the best!
Mariah: Come on, you can give them more festivity than that.
Rachel: [louder] You guys are the best!
Mariah: I got like letters and notes and yes, Rachel, say that again, what?
Rachel: You know I show you guys love everywhere you guys come to me, you know
who you are!
Mariah: You know who you is! If you're talking to her, be like "Raychal", you
gotta go like "Raaaaaychal!" and then she'll definitely definitely focus on
you. But anyway, we love you, and, well you know I love you [...] as always,
and I'm sitting here with my new hubby but he's being quiet right now, I think

love you, and I'm gonna call you back, [...] about to get on a plane right
now, so I hope you like the new video and stuff, it's for all of you! And I
will chat with you soon, okay? alright!

keep this a surprise! sorry!
When I visit Japan, I will bring all my wonderful stories of my marriage.

Pictures regret to announce the "Divas in Dubai" concert event is being
rescheduled to a later date in the Fall 2008.
"Mariah and Fergie are disappointed that they won't be able to perform,"
commented a Producer for the first time ever, back to back event. "They had
scheduled this one special event in their calendars and were looking forward
to performing for the Dubai fans."
Mel Tyler, of Midas Promotions, stated that "the extremely compressed time
frame along with unforeseen logistical complications compelled us to move the
event later in the year to ensure a show commensurate with the level of
success of these world class Artists and the people of Dubai."

■ EXCLUSIVE: See Mariah & Nick's Wedding Photo!
Yep,
they did it! If there was any doubt Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's wedding was
the real deal, they answer the question once and for all in this week's issue
of PEOPLE, speaking for the first time about their surprise nuptials – and
showing off exclusive photos from their April 30 ceremony.
"We really do feel we are soulmates," Carey tells PEOPLE, following their
sunset ceremony at the pop star's Bahamian estate. "I never felt a love like
this was in the cards for me."
Cannon adds: "She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the
inside."
For more on Mariah & Nick's whirlwind romance – including photos of their new
tattoos, details on Nick's candy-themed proposal, and their plans for kids (!)
– pick up the latest PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday
How are my wonderful people doing?? Hope all of you are enjoying their
holiday!
I am on promotion, so I have no rest at all! Good thing is though, is that I
get to meet all my lovely lambs,. About my little secret that I talked about
last week, I am hooked on cardio-excersise. It’s not as popular in Japan yet,
but it’s a good way to get an effective workout in short time!! Even I can do
it!
Also healthy eating is important. I’m cutting all my favorite candies and
cheese. The most important thing is to keep in mind that people are always
watching you! It can be anybody, like your love ones, family, anybody! You
guys should try this with me!
■ Mariah on the Time 100 - The World's Most Influential People
THE
TIME 100
The Most Influential People in the World
(New York, May 1, 2008)-- In this week's issue, TIME reveals its list of the
100 most influential people in the world. As TIME managing editor Richard
Stengel writes in his Letter to Readers, "The TIME 100 is not a list of the
smartest, the most powerful, or the most talented--it is a thoughtful and
sprightly survey of the most influential individuals in the world. Influence,
like those other categories, is subjective, but you try to measure it in the
effect people have on the world."
Stevie Wonder, for Time Magazine:
I could never describe or measure the level of respect and love I have for
Mariah Carey in just 300 words, but you know, I'll do my best. I've met only
three people who had a truly wonderful voice and spirit to match: my first
wife Syreeta, Minnie Riperton and Mariah. Obviously she is talented and has a
great voice, but when a person has the opportunity to be heard and seen, at
the end of the day she will also be felt. I think Mariah has enjoyed such
success at 38 because she's a good person; her heart is good. I love her
spirit. When I lost my mother, she was one of the first people to reach out to
me. She was away, but she still found a way to call me up and say a prayer
with me. It's easy to be friends when the lights are bright, but how is your
love when there's none of that? I know how Mariah's is.
She has the ability to be sexy, but not so much that you think it's getting
too crazy. It's a sexy classiness. The whole thing with her song Touch My Body
is that she keeps it acceptable and has fun with it. And Mariah didn't break
all those sales records just because she's beautiful. She has perseverance and
consistency. You need the two: the ability to keep going and the ability to
keep doing the right thing. She once said that every time she makes a new
record, she feels as if she's brand-new again, like a young person looking at
a computer for the first time. By doing it and not thinking about it, she lets
the magic come.
When people talk about the great influential singers, they talk about Aretha,
Whitney and Mariah. That's a testament to her talent. Her range is that
amazing.
I look forward to the time the two of us can do a song together. I'm rewriting
a song for her. It's going to be a tribute to my mother.

■ There’s a New Queen of Pop: Mariah Beats Madonna
The war is over and there’s a new queen of pop: Miss Mariah Carey.
How do we know?
Hitsdailydouble.com is reporting that estimated first week sales for Madonna’s
Hard Candy album will range between 275,000-300,000.
Mariah’s “E=MC2” sold 475,000 in its first week and was Carey’s biggest debut
ever.
In addition to that, Madonna’s numbers are a slide downwards from her last
album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” which 350,000 copies its first week out
and went on to sell 1.7 million copies in the U.S. That was three years ago.
So what happened? Kabbalah and Malawi didn’t help, neither did dependence on
Justin Timberlake singing like Michael Jackson on the debut single, “4 Minutes
to Save the World.”

Full-page Fox411 Archive Madonna is also hobbled by the Warner M. Group’s
broken marketing machine and the company’s sinking stock. It’s a good bet that
Wall Street analysts will be asking about “Hard Candy” on next week’s
conference call with Bronfman and Cohen.
Madonna will keep pumping “Hard Candy” tonight at 10 p.m. with a six song set
at the Roseland Ballroom that may feature a whooping Timberlake and the
50-year-old singer wearing leather chain mail.
If it’s anything like her Roseland performance several years ago, though, on
Monday, November 6, 2000, I wrote that night: that stars like Gwyneth Paltrow,
Madonna’s pal
Rupert Everett, Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner with his boyfriend, Matt
Nye and actor John Leguizamo were all there, but the hoi polloi dressed like a
Rocky Horror Halloween.
There were a lot of rhinestones and cowboy hats. There were also drag queens
of every size and shape, boys in dresses, the whole thing. No one would have
been surprised to see deceased Studio 54 owner Steve Rubell rise from the
dead.
The show that night lasted 20 minutes. There were almost no live instruments
used except in a semi-acoustic “Don’t Tell Me,” which had a cadre of cowgirl
violinists and was the best number of the five. Otherwise, it was all deadly
pre-recorded synthesizer. As one security guard said, “Four days work, and it
was just 20 minutes?”
The show had a forced feeling. There was no spontaneity. And if Madonna really
cared for those thousands of fans who’d been hanging around for three hours, a
couple of her hits wouldn’t have been so hard to perform.
I have just arrived in LA. I was actually shooting the new video for my 2nd
single from “E=MC2”. The track is “Bye Bye”, I’m not gonna tell you all about
this yet, because we are still in middle of promotion for “Touch My Body”
The album “E=MC2” will soon hit stores on April 15th
I want to talk a little about my album title. People will usually think of an
Einstein equation when they see the title “E=MC2”.
This is kinda silly, but this is a little equation that I came up with. E
(Emancipation)=M(Mariah)C(Carey)2(Part 2). It means this is my 2nd part of my
life, and I’m free do what ever I want!
I will be appearing on many TV programs for the promotion of “E=MC2”. I want
my lovely lambs in Japan to check them out.

Part2 ( April 22, 2008 )
Dear All my lovely lambs,
How are my little lambs doing?
Last night I attended a TV show that is in search of a next superstar singer.
7 candidates sang in front of me, but they were all so amazing that it blew my
mind!!
I really hope that they all will earn their dreams like me.
Anyways, all of you checking my emails, did you listen to my new album??
Did you like it? How was it?
I personally can't pick out a favorite‘cause I like them all. However“Touch My
Body”is a great track, especially it's a new record-breaking song! I'd like to
thank Tricky Stuart and The Dream for producing such a beautiful song.
In two days, I will have an autograph session in LA! I'm looking forward to
meeting all my lovely fans in Japan very soon!!
Announcement:
I will be appearing in a movie“Tennessee”as a waitress. Not a singer!
Check me out as an actress as well!
Part3 ( April 29, 2008 ) Dear All my lovely lambs,
How are my lovely lambs?
I had my autograph session recently. Of course it was for my new album“E=MC2”promotion.
A lot of my dearest lambs were at the event and they sang“Touch My
Body”acapella in front of me!! I was so surprised and very grateful!
Can my Japanese lambs sing for me??
I had numerous questions from my lambs. But the hardest question was when they
asked me“What is your secret to your beauty?” Come on! I'm trying hard you
know!!
I will let you in on my little secret to how hard I try stay in shape!
I heard from my staff that you guys in Japan are going on a vacation soon!
Take my CD to your trip and have a good time!
Despite a 61% decline in sales, Mariah Carey’s Island Def Jam set “E=MC2″
remains atop The Billboard 200 for a second straight week. The album, the
diva’s sixth No. 1, moved 182,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen
SoundScan. British singer Leona Lewis’ “Spirit” (Syco/J) follows suit, staying
put at No. 2 in its second week with 96,000 and a 1% sales increase.
Music fans can enjoy a double helping of diva in Dubai with confirmed concert
dates for the world's number one-selling female artist Mariah Carey and former
Black Eyed Peas Fergie.
Universal Music has this week confirmed the world-renowned artists will
perform at Dubai Festival City with back-to-back concerts on May 15 and 16.
Promoting her new album, E=MC², which this week hit the top of the Billboard
charts, Carey will perform first on Thursday, May 15, followed by Fergie the
following evening.
Ticket prices have not yet been announced but are expected to go on sale
online at either www.timeouttickets.com or www.showbizme.com from tomorrow.
Rebecca Brianceau, of Universal, Dubai, said the label was extremely excited
to be bringing two such wonderful artists to Dubai back-to-back. "We are so
excited about the concerts and cannot wait to welcome the ladies to the UAE.
We are expecting great things on both nights."
The venue holds a capacity crowd of 15,000 and tickets for both concerts are
expected to sell out in a matter of days.
Mel Tyler, General Manager of Midas Promotions, has said the people of Dubai
are in for a real treat.
Carey is expected to perform hits old and new with a few "extras" thrown in
for good measure according to organisers with Fergie singing the songs which
have recently seen her rise through the chart positions including Big Girls
Don't Cry and London Bridge.
Both Carey and Fergie have performed in Dubai before with Carey singing to a
sell-out crowd at Dubai Media City in 2005 and Fergie hitting the stage with
the Black Eyed Peas at the Airport Expo in 2006. This is the first time Fergie
will perform in the UAE as a solo artist.
