All about Mariah Carey

The Conde Nast Media Group’s 5th Annual Fashion Rocks event hit NY Radio City Music Hall last night bringing along a real star tsunami. It was like a Grammy Awards ceremony or something.

The show was hosted by Dennis Leary with lots of A-listers performing and presenting during the night. Other night’s hosts included Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Jessica Alba, Charles Barkley and Halle Berry. Among the guests one could see Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Hilary Swank, Hayden Panettiere and Marg Helgenberger, Tyra Banks and Nick Cannon, Chace Crawford and Molly Sims.

The show was all glam and fashion. The stars dazzled the red carpet with their gorgeous evening gowns and stylish outfits. Some of the stars visiting the show were donning Stand Up To Cancer t-shirts to support the campaign, among them were Mandy Moore, Salma Hayek and pregnant with her second baby Jennifer Garner.

One of the most exciting moments of the Fashion Rocks pre-party was a very hot performance of Pussycat Dolls. These girls definitely know how to rock!

The show was marked by a fantastic performance of Beyoncé Knowles, during which she managed to change several outfits, and this gold satin dress was one of them. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Rihanna turned heads at the red carpet and had a blow-minding performance on stage. Her image on stage was so different from the red carpet one, this girl knows how to leave us breathless with her style and talent.

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus was probably the youngest among the performers and she definitely used her chance to shine on the red carpet and on stage surrounded by really famous singers performing ‘Just Stand Up!’, the worldwide charity single benefiting Stand Up To Cancer.

She joined Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Fergie, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield and Nicole Scherzinger to sing the song created and produced by LA Reid and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.

“For the first time we can envision the possibility of stopping cancer in its tracks,” the mission statement read, according to Gossip Girls. “But just when science is on the verge of giving us the breakthroughs that can end cancer, the will and the funding to do so are disappearing from the national agenda and from our collective consciousness.”

Love of my life Justin Timberlake was also there at the show as one of the headline performers. He was hot as always.

Fashion Rocks opened New York Fashion Week 2008.

While fans wait until Monday night to watch all of the action at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, Hollywood’s hottest celebs were on-hand for the taping of the annual awards show at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles on Sunday night, August 3.

No one, but Hannah Montana starlet Miley Cyrus played host at the 10th annual running of the event, which showered celebrities with dozens of surfboard trophies in film, TV, music, sports and fashion categories. She, herself, won in all of the three categories.

Whereas other award shows dole out conventional trophies, the Teen Choice Awards hand out surfboards. The perennial Teen Choice champion Justin Timberlake - who has won 21 surfboards (more than anyone else) over the years - has managed to snag three more nods this year, didn’t show up.

But there were other celebrities who showed up even if there were no chances for them to win.

In the category of reality star, she went up against Dancing with the Stars’s Kristi Yamaguchi, America’s Next Top Model’s Whitney Thompson and The Hills stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag.

Soccer stud David Beckham picked up the surfboard for Choice Male Athlete. He was accompanied by his wife Victoria to beat out golfer Tiger Woods, footballer Eli Manning and basketball star Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

Stop-Loss actor Channing Tatum picked up a surfboard for Choice Movie Actor in a Drama. The 28-year-old actor beat out Into The Wild’s Emile Hirsch, Rendition’s Jake Gyllenhaal, We Own The Night’s Mark Wahlberg and Stop-Loss’s Ryan Phillippe.

“Crazy, sexy, cool Justin Timberlake: Pop Superstar or Fashion Icon? Both!” screams the cover of Fashion Rocks magazine.

Forget about a dance-off.

It’s time for a hat-off between Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher.

“It’s funny,” Timberlake says in the new issue of Fashion Rocks magazine. “I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. I’ve heard him make that statement before. Me and my friend Trace Ayala were wearing them when we were 17.”

Although Justin likes experimenting with different styles, he doesn’t see himself as a trendsetter. But he is well on his way to fashion-icon status. Along with gracing the cover of Fashion Rocks, he’s new face of Givenchy’s men’s fragrance, Play!, and stars in William Rast’s upcoming fall ad denim line campaign.

Hottie also said:

Honestly, I don’t walk out of my house thinking, man, I hope somebody thinks this looks cool!’ There’s some stuff I wear that people think is not cool.”

Justin also revealed he has designed a new collection with Swedish fashion designer Johan Lindeberg. He explained:

It is Southern heritage meets forward European innovation. I don’t want to be Mr ‘SexyBack’ forever.”
Why not?!?

JT is set to perform at the Fashion Rocks concert - which celebrates the relationship between fashion and music - at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on September 5.

Beyoncé Knowles, Fergie, Mariah Carey, Pussycat Dolls and Timbaland are also scheduled to appear.

Chris Brown, Duffy, Keith Urban, Kid Rock and Lil Wayne are just few other artists to name.

And here comes the good news for Britney. Though losing custody battle to get her children back, she stands all chances to win the Moon Man at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards on September, 7 as she’s one of the nominees for Best Female Music Video for ‘Piece of Me.’

It will be a hot battle as Spears will have to compete against Katy Perry for ‘I Kissed a Girl,’ Rihanna for ‘Take a Bow,’ Mariah Carey for ‘Touch My Body’ and Jordin Sparks for ‘No Air’ to get the statuette.

Britney’s vid was chose via on-line voting at vma.mtv.com. This is the 15th nomination for the VMA award in her career. Last month it was reported Britney could be also invited to perform at the show.

The MNT VMA show will be hosted by British comedian Russell Brand, and air live from LA.

The nominees for Best Male Music Video are T.I. for ‘What You Know,’ Usher for ‘Love in the Club,’ Lil Wayne for ‘Lollipop,’ Chris Brown for ‘With You’ and Flo-Rida for ‘Low.’

Watch Chris Brown’s ‘With You’ here

According to recent reports, Mariah Carey’s hubby Nick Cannon is getting into debt as he tries to fund his wife’s extravagant lifestyle. “Nick is basically around to attend to her diva-ish ways. When they were in Hawaii where Mariah was filming the video for ‘I’ll Be Lovin’ U’, Nick dashed off to buy her gifts at Tiffany and Co. and Louis Vuitton to keep her happy,” a source revealed.

Nick doesn’t like to be perceived as a “kept boy” and spends all his money on lavish gifts and expensive presents for his spouse. A source reported Nick is “burying himself in debt” trying to keep up with Mariah.

And the bottom line is that he just doesn’t have the kind of money she has. It’s starting to stress him out.”

Well looks like something is rotten in the State of Denmark…

Nick has another thing to worry about – his career. “It hurts him when people use him to get to Mariah. Or worse, think of him as Mr. Carey,” the insider said.

Now Mariah needs to oversee and approve all his career moves. “There are no more silly small-time shows. She wants him to do big venues and projects,” it was reported. Poor Nick.

So you tell me, who wears the pants in Cannon-Carey family?

Seen the new Rihanna lately? Oh, the girl is just pumpin’ it louder and wilder. The pop superstar is also is number one on In Touch Weekly’s Best Hair in Hollywood List.

Listen to Rihanna’s newest latest song ‘Disturbia’. Absolute hit.

Other exciting news on Rihanna:

She has been unveiled as the face of a Unicef camping being run in conjunction with Gucci to raise money for children’s charities across the world. Ri fronts her own charity The Believe Foundation. Singer is now expected to appear in a series of global adverts for the campaign.

Just an interesting fact: New demographics for labels is – prison

According to a recent Billboard story, record labels have picked up more than $5 million from federal, state and local prison systems since 2003. Meaning a million each year. Although that figure may seem small, Bob Paris of North Hollywood-based Pack Central says “I have dodged every conventional bullet that has hit most music retailers. I don’t have to worry about downloading, legal or illegally.”

Rihanna’s “Good Girl Gone Bad” album is on the companies best sellers list among Mariah Carey’s “E=MC2”, Lil Wayne’s “The Carter III,”and Usher’s “Here I Stand”.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 2.3 million people were locked up in federal, state or local systems at midyear 2007.

Can there be anything better than being hot and being elegant? These cover girls and the boy know, what I’m talking about. These are most elegant celeb cover stars of this month. And don’t even try to tell me you don’t find them glam and gorgeous.

Fantastic Kill Bill star Uma Thurman is gracing this month’s Vogue issue. If all women looked that fabulous approaching 40… A great and really elegant outfit consisting of a silk blouse, jeweled belt, organza and silk net skirt, accompanied by the matching necklace makes her look gorgeous at this cover.

Gwyneth Paltrow looks positively flawless in Versace on the July 2008 cover of Harper’s Bazaar. “You know, I don’t want to look like a mother who doesn’t care. For myself, for my work and for my relationship, I want to look good,” the star said. And she does look good in that great bright pink dress.

The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway is looking smart gracing InSyle’s July cover. As the magazine revealed, Agent 99’s alter ego is a master decoder of personal style. So sexy and smiley, Anne Hathaway seems like the greatest attraction for buyers. Just confess you couldn’t help but get yourself the mag because she was smiling so irresistibly!

British singing star Leona Lewis is featured on the July 2008 cover of Blender magazine. “I don’t wear little miniskirts and low-cut tops. If you want to show your bits off, it’s up to you.” Leona tells the music mag. This pop’s next megastar is wearing all black but anyway manages to look positive and hot. Sassy and hussy, Lewis looks great here. Mariah Carey look out!

“Mary-Kate is fragile yet strong,” said Diane von Furstenberg about this month’s Elle cover girl Mary-Kate Olsen. It’s not really often that we see the Olsen twins apart. Mary-Kate is famous for her incredible sense of style (which I personally do not always understand, but anyway). This cover explains why her fashion line is so popular worldwide. She’s really elegant and glam here.

When talking about elegance and style there’s no way I can miss Angelina Jolie, the sexiest assassin on screen and a doting and caring mom in real life. Jolie’s gracing two elegant covers this month.
Famous old Hollywood glamour is felt in the air when you’re looking at her Vanity Fair cover, while Entertainment Weekly cover looks more like down-to-earth but naturally beautiful. That’s Angie, a woman in full.

What I like about Arena magazine this month is Shia Labeouf’s cover. He’s so cute! Bet you all’d love to have a romantic date with the Indy star by the pool? A man in an elegant black suit is always attractive.

Mariah Carey is working hard on her new video. ‘Touch My Body’ singer was spotted in Hawaii making another hot music video wearing skimpy strapless black two-piece bikini.

She looked amazing especially wearing her hair curly, it suits her much better than straight ironed hair. Mariah is a big talent and she is beautiful, but sometimes her style is a miss. The bikini part though, with curves she got, always makes her the hit.

Newlywed Mariah also had her husband Nick Cannon arrive to the Honolulu airport to meet his wife. The two seem to be totally in love with each other. Cannon went shopping around while his wife was busy filming.

Cannon’s ex girlfriend, Selita Ebanks, who actually made it to becoming his former fiancé now is a hot date to Kanye West.

She told press that she is happy for Nick’s marriage:

I think it’s amazing when two people find love and they just know. It’s a very blissful thing. You can’t hate on love.”

Hopefully this time Victoria Secret’s model Selita will make it further than just a summer romance.

Nick Cannon always gets the sexy ladies. Watch Mariah’s sizzling ‘Touch My Body’ video and tell me who’s hotter: Mariah or Selita?

Mariah is the best baseball pitcher in heels. On Wednesday night she threw the ceremonial first ball before the baseball match between the Yomiuru Giants and Rakuten Golden Eagle in Tokyo Dome.

Just wed Mariah Carey has been doing her E=MC2 new album promotional tour and Japan seems to more than accept it. On May, 31st Mariah will appear at the MTV Video Music Awards in Tokyo.

Currently the E=MC2 is Gold in Australia.

The beach season has kicked off! Celebrities are booking the hottest vacation spots. Its time to get tanning lotion, your favorite bikini and a pair of shades to hit the beach. Celebrity couples are making the most of it whether it’s Hawaii or Miami.

Mel B and Stephen will celebrate their first wedding anniversary on June 6th. And they better make the most of their child-free time. Mel B is a mother to Phoenix Chi, 9, and Angel Iris, 1, whose father is Eddie Murphy, while Stephen is a father to his daughter Giselle.

Strawberries, champagne and a kiss in the pool, Spice Girl knows how to live the luxury life.

Karina Smirnoff and her Dancing With The Stars partner A.C. Slater hit the beach in Miami over the holiday weekend. He is definitely more than just a dance partner. Slater and Karina pulled off some dance moves in the ocean and in water it’s all different from the dance floor.

Pierce Brosnan chooses Hawaii for his family vacation. It’s the couple’s most memorable place on earth and the two seem to be in love no matter how long they’ve been together and how aged they are.

Pirce, 50, who is former Bond is into scuba diving as he takes his son to play in the ocean. And no, he doesn’t surf.

Moreover he is to play a dancing role as Sam Carmichael in the 1970s film inspired by ABBA. That’s a hellova transformation for a British spy. Irish actor admits:

I drew the drapes in my dressing room, looked in the mirror, and there was 007 - only he was getting ready to expose himself to possible ridicule by starring in a movie musical called Mamma Mia!

One of my daydreams was that I’d be strutting across the parking lot in sequined tights and a cape, and I would bump into Mr. Daniel Craig, looking very Bond-like. It never happened, I’m pleased to say.”

Lavish beach party was thrown by pregnant Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdales. This celebrity couple threw the cowboy-themed beach party to celebrate their son Kingston James McGregor’s second birthday.

Mariah Carey also enjoys the sun, sand and ocean only without Nick Cannon.
