Mariah Carey Bares Make-up Free Face For 'The Butler' Movie A new official image for Lee Daniels' The Butler has recently surfaced online with Mariah Carey featured in it. Taking on the role as field slave Hattie Pearl, the "We Belong Together" singer debuts an appearance that is far cry from her usual glammed-up look as she's seen in the middle of cotton field without any make-up touch. Carey is only one of many stars that Daniels gets attached to his film. Forest Whitaker is set to headline it as he's tapped to play the title role named Cecil Gaines, who believes he can change his life as well as his family's through his service at the White House. Based on a true story of former White House butler Eugene Allen, the historical drama centers on Cecil Gaines who serves eight American presidents over three decades. The film traces the dramatic changes felt by American society at that time, from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond, and how those changes affect the man's life and family. It also features several A-list actors in their roles as presidents: Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy and Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson. Source

Mariah Carey’s New Album Title Revealed?Mariah Carey kicks off her new “era” in just under a month when her hotly anticipated new album struts into stores on July 23rd. Preceded by Billboard hit ‘#Beautiful’, speculation has been rife about what exact the LP has been christened. Well, if a new major retailer listing is to be believed, the album is titled…. The Art Of Letting Go The “reveal” came courtesy of Walmart‘s official website, which posted the following early this morning… On initial introduction to the title, it seems somewhat “random”. However, this cryptic Tweet by Mimi today appears to put everything into context… “If” indeed the title and “if” indeed the meaning behind it, we’re sold. Honestly, anything beats ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’. More than anything, though, we just hope the actual material on the project is on-point. ‘#Beautiful’ and its #15 peak on the Hot 100 set a solid and sound foundation for a legitimate “comeback”, now it’s time to serve up that undebatable smash that keeps Mimi’s momentum going!

Mariah Carey Strips Off For Second Video With Miguel / Album Title ConfirmedAccording to Jermaine Dupri, Mariah Carey will indeed be showing the masses ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ on her 14th studio album (due July 23rd). However, by the look of these new snaps, the singer seems equally keen to showcase the art of her body. Taking to Twitter, the 43-year-old mother of two posted the suggestive collage above with the following message… Oh Mimi and this forced sex-appeal. On the one hand, if you’ve got it flaunt it. And to a degree, she does still (have “it”). However, for yours truly, Mariah has always has always evoked “timeless classy” more than she has “sexy”. Hence, why she’s spent more than a decade trying to push the latter is beyond me. She need not look further than Jennifer Lopez (who is exactly the same age) to see how to both preserve and mature one’s sexy over time. For, in not pushing her puppies in anyone’s face ala Mimi, La Lopez has retained both her “cool” and stunner status. Anyway… Little is known about this shoot beyond the fact that it took place in Capri, Italy last night and R&B crooner Miguel features. Mariah and the airborne singer continue to enjoy great success on the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit ‘#Beautiful’ – which begs the question of whether the filming was for a sequel of sorts? Or perhaps the ‘Adorn’ crooner is simply making a cameo in Mimi’s next video? Who knows. What is certain is that more pics await after the jump… ThatGrapeJuice

Mariah Carey’s ‘The Emancipation Of Mimi’ Eyes 6 Million Sold MarkWhile it’s her voice that sees her score the most acclaim, it’s Mariah Carey's ability to pen and produce timeless material that will see forever hailed as one of the greatest musicians to ever grace Pop music. The above point was proved in 2005, when she released one her strongest LPs to date- ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’- 15 years after the release of her self titled debut album. Fortunately for her, in celebrating her knack for hit making, sales of the aforementioned ‘Mimi’ continue rise this month by way of the hype surrounding her new single ‘Beautiful’. Good news below… This week, sales of the Jermaine Dupri fuelled album reached sales of 5,982,905- placing it less than 20,000 units away from reaching the 6 million sold mark. A feat, that sees the album outsell the entire discographies of artists she now finds herself competing with on today’s charts. Indeed, while it already been certified 6x Platinum for shipments in the US- the album is now 4 million units away from dwarfing sales scored from all seven Rihanna albums, which total at 9.8 million. When its global sales are thrown into the mix, ‘Mimi’ can boast of 12 million sold- earning the soprano 10 Grammy nominations, and two #1 singles with Dupri’s ‘We Belong Together’ and the Bryan-Michael Cox driven ‘Don’t Forget About Us’. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=n5xw_1_kMwk&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] In other chart news, Beyoncé's 'Dangerously In Love' has now shifted 4,881,762 copies in the US since June 22nd 2003 with a further 7 million units worldwide. Meanwhile, Pink’s 2001 effort 'Missundaztood' holds court with 5,599,711 in her domestic market while Rihanna's debut album ‘Music Of The Sun’ currently sits at 607,000 units sold since August 12th 2005- earning it a Gold certification for sales and shipments of 500,000 units! Elsewhere, after selling 1 million units in its first month of release, Nicki Minaj‘s 2010 debut 'Pink Friday' now boasts global sales of 3.8 million, helped in part by the Platinum single 'Moment 4 Life', the 4x Platinum cut ‘Super Bass’, and the Rap #1 'Your Love', which surpassed sales of 1 million back in 2010.

Mariah Carey Moves ‘Art of Letting Go’ Release Date‘Butterfly’ beauty Mariah Carey may be flying high on charts with her Miguel-assisted hit ‘#Beautiful’, but lambs following the pop icon on Twitter were dealt a disappointing announcement moments ago regarding its parent album. Christened ‘The Art of Letting Go’, the album was believed to be “all systems go” for a July 23rd release date. That, according to Carey herself, has apparently changed… While we await news on the album’s newest release date, we can’t help but admit we saw this coming. Even with ‘#Beautiful’ performing as well as it is on charts, the buzz surrounding the track is quickly fizzling. With the 'American Idol' platform in her rearview as a launching pad for new material, here’s hoping the single’s follow-up – as well as the new additions to the album from Urban music’s top craftsmen and working the award show circuit (see: BET Awards, MTV VMA) – regenerate much deserved interest in the project. However, as we are anxious to hear what Carey’s cooking up, we’re hoping she doesn’t follow J.Lo’s lead by pushing the album back all the way to the fall. ThatGrapeJuice

New Video: Mariah Carey – ‘#Beautiful (#Hermosa / Spanish Remix) (ft. Miguel)’Fresh from her stoic performance at the BET Awards 2013, Mariah Carey keeps her ‘#Beautiful’ campaign moving with the video for ‘#Hermosa’ – the Spanish version of the hit track. Watch Mimi and Miguel frolic in Capri, Italy in the new clip after the jump… While Mariah should be applauded for her ability to “work” remixes like no other, this here is cheap and unnecessary. Next single, please. ThatGrapeJuice
