Wisegirls- the new movie!

So, I guess you know by now that Mariah has signed up to do a new movie? But I bet you didn't
know she already started with it! Yes, Mariah has spent the last 3-4 days all the way up in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, Canada. (See http://halifax.worldweb.com/Maps/index.html?vid=8516931 for map.)
This is the second movie Mariah films in Canada, the first of course being, "Glitter". Any Canadians
out there? Let us know if you spot her! The name of the movie is "Wisegirls." Nigel Sinclair, one of
"Wisegirls" producers, explained that in the film Mariah will play "a streetwise girl who knows the
dark secret of a restaurant but her two waitress friends are initiated into the Mob work after some
gruesome events." Apparently, the seemingly respectable Italian restaurant is a front for Mob
activities. In "Wisegirls," Mariah will appear alongside Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino and newcomer
Melora Walters. Mira Sorvino won the prestigious Academy Award for Best Actress in a supporting
role with the 1995 movie "Mighty Aphrodite". Of course Mariah also won an Oscar with "When You
Believe", but that honor was credited to the songwriter.

About Wisegirls

Will the movie be good? Well , it has Mariah- so of course!! It also has an Oscar-winning actress,
and the production company behind it happens to be Lions Gate, which has generated more
Academy Award, Golden Globe and Independent Spirit nominations for its movies than any other
unaligned independent studio. The movie has got a budget of around 10 million dollars

Mariah Carey Turns Soundtrack Into Solo Album 

Glitter, due August 21, will include cover of 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life.' 

Mariah Carey's first album for Virgin Records will come out August 21 and will serve as both solo album and soundtrack, a la Prince and the Revolution's Purple Rain.

The album will be called Glitter and will hit stores 10 days before the scheduled release of "All That Glitters," in which the R&B superstar plays an up-and-coming 1980s singer named Billie, a Virgin spokesperson said Friday. In keeping with the setting, it will include a cover of Indeep's early-'80s club hit "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life," according to DJ Clue, who produced that track and
one other with his partner Duro. 

Clue — supplier of recent Carey hits "Heartbreaker" and the remix to "Thank God I Found You" — predicted the track, which features his Desert Storm records signee Fabalous Sport, will be released as a single.

But all that glitters is not old. The Virgin spokesperson said Glitter's first single will be "Lover Boy," featuring Da Brat, who also stars in the movie, and Ludacris. "LoverBoy" will be serviced to clubs on June 8 and radio on June 25.

Clue and Duro join the team of Jimmy Jackson and Terry Lewis (Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige) as producers on Glitter (see "Jimmy Jam On Mariah Carey's 'Glitters' LP, Eric Benet Duet"). The album includes six or seven Jam and Lewis tracks, the Virgin spokesperson said.

Carey signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Virgin earlier this year (see "Mariah Carey Leaves Columbia For Virgin").
