EXCLUSIVE: JUMPSMOKERS INTERVIEW

Mrspice from FOMM send some uestions to Jumpsmokers about the re-elease and tis is what they had to say:

Thanx so much for hitting us up.....I'm gonna answer the questions in YOUR email...

Have you had the opportunity to personally meet Mariah? If so, what was it like collaborating with her?

A few of us have had the pleasure of meeting Mariah Carey before Jump Smokers even existed & she has been nothing short of amazing every single time! So far, all of our Jump Smokers remixes have been done strictly with her acapella vocals...hopefully one day we can all collaborate in the same studio 2gether


How many mixes have you finished, and of those, which track is your favorite and why?

Well, obviously people know that we have already finished "Obsessed" & "H.A.T.E.U."...but as of 2nite (12-14-09) we have also finished up "Candy Bling" w/ "Ribbon" & "Up Out My Face" almost done as well.


Will any of your remixes feature newly recorded vocals?

Nope...we're just gonna be using Mariah's FLAWLESS acapella vocals over our KILLER electro beats!

Will your tracks be included on the same CD as the confirmed Urban remixes and new songs, or will they be on a separate disc entirely?

From what we understand, our Mariah Carey Vs. Jump Smokers Remix Album will be a completely separate release...and for the record, we still can't even believe that this is happening to us!!!! lol

Of the new tracks, did you or are you remixing any, or strictly sticking to mixing tracks from the original disc?

Our Remix Album will have ENTIRELY new music built around Mariah's existing vocals...our one & only mission is to turn Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel into an AMAZING dance record.

Mariah Owns Most Popular Songs of '90s and '00s

With Mariah Carey's crowning of the decade-end Hot 100 songs list with "We Belong Together," she now owns the most popular songs of the '90s and the '00s, as her duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day," was No. 1 on the '90s-end recap.

"We Belong Together" spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart during the decade, tying the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" for the most weeks atop the list in that span. The Peas' anthem is at No. 5 on the decade-end Hot 100 Songs retrospective, one step below the duo/group of the decade, Nickelback, with "How You Remind Me."

Collectively, the top nine finishers on the Hot 100 Songs recap spent 90 cumulative weeks at No. 1, thanks in part to the one-two punch of "Together" and "Feeling."

Press Release: Mariah Carey - Back On Tour!

THE "ANGELS ADVOCATE" TOUR OPENS JAN. 2nd AT BORGATA IN ATLANTIC CITY, ENDS FEB. 27th AT THE PEARL CONCERT THEATER IN LAS VEGAS

Tour in support of #1 R&B album, MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL

8-week, 19-city tour preceded by New Year's Eve kick-off at Madison Square Garden –The World's Most Famous Arena!

For Mariah Carey's legions of North American fans, the long wait is over – as the international superstar announces her first major tour itinerary in over three years. Following a festive New Year's Eve kick-off at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the "Angels Advocate" Tour begins January 2, 2010, at the Borgata in Atlantic City, and wraps up February 27th at The Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Honey B. Fly, the official Mariah Carey Fan Club, will be offering exclusive member pre-sales for all show dates. Fans can get details on the official website, MariahCarey.com. Tickets for the majority of the tour will go on sale December 19th.

The 8-week, 19-city "Angels Advocate" Tour is the first major tour by Mariah Carey since The "Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, The Hits, The Tour" of August through October 2006. The opening act on the "Angels Advocate" Tour will be RydazNrtist, a new R&B group signed to Nick Cannon's NCredible Entertainment.

MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, Mariah Carey's 12th studio album, follows her multi-platinum E=MC² (2008), and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (2005). The Emancipation Of Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemp orary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. Three years later, "Touch My Body" (from E=MC²) became her 18th #1 Hot 100 hit, surpassing Elvis Presley's previous record of 17 #1 Hot 100 Hits. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits. The success of E=MC² brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 175 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history.

Mariah at VEVO Launch in New York

'H.A.T.E.U.' Video to Premiere on VEVO.com

New premium music video site VEVO.com is set to launch today, December 8th with a coming out party in New York City that includes Mariah taking the stage to premiere her new video, "H.A.T.E.U." The video for "H.A.T.E.U." was shot last month in California by renowned filmmaker Brett Ratner, whose videography with Mariah Carey stretches back more than a decade, to 1998's "I Still Believe." Along the way, Ratner has directed videos for Mariah including "It's Like That" and "We Belong Together" (from The Emancipation Of Mimi), "Touch My Body" (from E=MC2) and, most recently, for her platinum selling # 1 single "Obsessed" (from Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel).

Check out VEVO.com tonight, December 8th to watch Mariah's new video, "H.A.T.E.U."

Up Close and Personal

Getting just a moment with Mariah Carey takes exactly as much effort as you would think. It involves standing outside a maze of private partitions during her photo shoot, waiting for the small window of time in which you can say hello. It also involves phone calls from an ever-increasing number of assistants and publicists until you're so confused, you don't know who is connecting you to whom and how. But this is Mariah -- one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time, a one-namer up there with Elvis and Aretha. So you do it. And at the end of it all, you are glad you did, because when the protective cloud of managers, bodyguards and publicists disappears and you finally do speak to her, she is sometimes naked. Literally.

"I'm in the bathtub, did I tell you that?" She says to me over the phone on a recent Friday afternoon. "It's not a bubble bath but it has one of those buttons so it sends bubbles and makes the water all fuzzy. I have a little bronchitis thing right now." She also had a pain in her side. Doctors had ruled out appendicitis but she was going in for an MRI the next day just to be safe. She attributes this dip in health to all the traveling and handshaking she has been doing to promote her new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which came out in October, and now the release of the film, Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push' by Sapphire, in which she has a very noticeable supporting role that proves once and for all that she has the acting talent to go along with the songwriting genius and powerful pipes.

Directed by Lee Daniels (Shadowboxer), Precious is about an overweight girl in '80s-era Harlem who is living with an abusive mother while carrying her father's child. "I read that book so many times it really changed my life," Carey says, "Not to sound like a buffoon." Carey plays Mrs. Weiss, Precious's social worker. In the film she wears no makeup, looks tired, and tries to keep her empathy in check -- pretty much the opposite of her offscreen personality. "Hideosity! They gave me a mustache!" she says about the role.

During one scene, Precious, played by Gabourney Sidibe, asks Miss Weiss what color she is, and Mariah shoots back, "What color do you think I am?" "Lee Daniels is a trickster," Carey says, "He told [Sidibe] to say that. Much of what we did was improv. He was definitely pushing my buttons, knowing I am caught between black and white. But I love him. He calls me kitten, and I call him cotton and I don't know why."

It was a canny move on Daniels' part to cast Carey, who had her own share of struggles growing up. Her parents divorced when she was young, her father was estranged (they later reconciled before his death in 2002) and her mother raised her while working multiple jobs. She moved 13 times when she was a kid, eventually settling in Huntington, Long Island. Her biracial appearance has always been an issue. "It still is," she says, "even though it's ridiculous. I mean, we have a biracial president!"

A classical singer, Carey's mother recognized her daughter's talent and often played opera records and songs on the piano to accompany the budding vocalist. She helped her develop her famous voice from an early age, making up for a lack of inspiration at school. "I don't know if it's a racist thing or what, but a lot of teachers did not encourage me." Carey went on to work as demo singer in high school, as backup for freestyle singer Brenda K. Starr, and recorded a tape of her own songs. Then, one famous night, she handed her demo to music mogul Tommy Mottola, her future ex-husband, at a party. "I knew I had that in me, that I was going to, quote make it... I just knew... it was not going to be otherwise."

The woman works hard. When I first meet her on the set of the cover shoot for this story, Carey is decked out in bronze lamé, her hair, as well as her décolletage perfectly in place. She prepares for the shoot while listening to dance remixes of her new album. "I just have to listen to make sure there isn't, like, a cymbal out of place or something," she says, her Chanel earrings dangling.

For her fans, this is an exciting time, but also a worrisome one. The last time Carey released an album and a film at the same time, it didn't go so well. The semi-autobiographical film Glitter, along with its companion soundtrack released on September 11th, 2001, was a commercial flop and catnip for criticism. Carey suffered a breakdown and retreated from the public eye to recharge.

In many ways, one could argue that her breakdown marked the beginning of our 24/7 celebrity coverage culture, as America went into denial of its deeper problems. Photos of her recovering at her mom's house in pajamas made their way into the media stream, and her infamous appearance on TRL proliferated on YouTube. When she talks about that time, it's in the abstract. "I didn't have the right support system around me at the time," she says like someone who knows her words may be misconstrued. She does think there was something deeper at play in terms of how she was treated by the media. "It was after September 11th. A lot of people taking shots at me had no place to go," Carey explains. "We are friggin' ADD, this country. There's a huge ADD situation."

But in the end, if she hadn't gone through all that, we might never have gotten The Emancipation of Mimi, the 2005 comeback album that is widely regarded as one of her best. Despite a few hiccups along the way, this is an artist who has stayed relevant from cassingles to the iPod. Her career has survived much publicized ups and downs, the ruthless, fickle music business, various weird incarnations of MTV and countless proclamations that her pop star career is waning or over.

Her new album has stirred up the typical mixed reactions, as well. Carey mostly sings in her lower register, and its breathy-voiced, slow-jam approach has some critics saying it's uninspired, and others celebrating it as classic Mariah.

Love her or hate her, there is no denying her impact on music in the past two decades. Carey, who celebrated her 39th birthday in April, is second only to The Beatles in number one singles (18 and counting), and her songs are almost as ubiquitous as the Fab Four's. Sure, she wears tiny outfits that would make your mother blush; yes, sometimes it seems like her cleavage arrives before the rest of her; and OK, maybe she has over 1,000 pairs of shoes -- but that's Mariah. None of it has ever seemed cynical or contrived. She is who she is: the super-talented Long Island girl with a premium manicure and a perfect blow-out. "I always say I am eternally 12. I was a tease, that type of girl. Once I learned how to put my hair and makeup together, I was like, 'I'm on a roll.'" I asked her what types of clothes she feels uncomfortable in. Her answer: "loose ones."

But perhaps what makes Carey such an original is that her body-hugging tube-dresses, cutesy camera-ready smile and flirtatious persona don't seem to be about her diva status or getting attention. Unlike other stars who spill out of their tank tops, there is a compelling, plangent vulnerability to the singer. And Carey herself is still trying to understand her own motivations. "I have had very low self-esteem my whole life. When I was 12 or 13, I remember walking up the driveway, and this guy who was 20 -- which may have been highly inappropriate -- said to me, 'I like your pants,' and I was like 'Oh, that looks good? Oh, OK, I will wear tight pants now.'"

There's a lot more inside her that she has yet to reveal to the public, and to herself. Look past the familiar hits and you can catch glimpses of her trying to work things out. (She cites the song "Languishing" on her new album as a "sad song" about a crisis of faith.) "Something happened to me when I was 12. A couple things that were not so great," she says carefully. "One day I want to write a book about it."

Not only is she beginning to articulate childhood trauma, but on a recent episode of Larry King Live, Carey said she could relate to Rihanna's abusive relationship with Chris Brown and spoke vaguely of her own history of emotional and mental abuse without mentioning anyone's name.

On the phone with me, she talks about her past with the same careful detachment. She discusses her early career as if there were other forces in control. "For a pretty long time, I was, quote, 'not allowed to wear an open neck.'"

She goes on, "My relationship to my work has been the strongest. Even in my first marriage, it was very much about music. We had a strong connection. Sometimes it was cool," and then in a rueful tone, she adds, "and sometimes we didn't agree."

Her newfound courage to speak up makes sense, because this time she seems to have a better support system, one that includes her new husband, actor-rapper Nick Cannon. In pure Carey fashion, their courtship sounds like a deleted scene from Glitter: "The first time we met, he was giving me an award in 2005. He told them unless he was allowed to give me the award, he wouldn't do it." All Carey's friends told her that Cannon was going on and on about her, saying how much he was drawn to her. "I was like, 'Yeah, right.' I have always been very protective of myself. Trusting people is very difficult for me. I have seen examples of people's lives getting trashed by other people who never should have been in their lives to begin with."

So she stayed aloof, until they met again at yet another awards show. "He was definitely giving me the look. It wasn't a phoney one." In the bathtub, she sounds very happy when she talks about him. "All we do is have fun together. I don't know what his eternal age is but maybe it's more like 16."

Cynics may balk, but it seems like a match. Also, he owes her his life. For Valentine's Day last year, they had candles all over their house. "We had flowers all over the bed, a very romantic moment." Suddenly, a gift caught fire from one of the candles and the flames traveled to the drapery. "Nick was standing there. I took control. He had given me an enormous amount of roses so I picked up the vase and poured out the roses, and went back and forth from the bathroom putting out the flames with water," she says. "You know, I'm good in a crisis."

Mariah to Attend Vevo Launch Tomorrow

Universal Music Group Chief Doug Morris, head of the world's biggest record label, is playing ad-man to lure marketers to the Vevo music-video Web site in the latest bid to rebuild the industry.

Morris, 71, has split his time the last few months courting advertisers for Vevo, he said in a Dec. 2 interview. The site will be introduced tomorrow at an event in New York where Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Lady Gaga are scheduled to attend. AT&T Inc., McDonalds Corp. and MasterCard Inc. have agreed to advertise, according to New York-based Vevo.

Vevo, powered by Google Inc.'s YouTube and featuring music videos, concert footage, interviews and original content, allows record labels to attract premium-prices for ads while controlling how music is viewed and distributed online, Morris said. The effort to reverse the industry's decline may be Morris's final salvo as he prepares to hand over the reins at Universal to international music head Lucian Grainge.

Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ Gets The Remix Treatment

In very technical terms, the Christmas season doesn’t begin until this Sunday, December 6, because it marks the first day of Advent on the Christian calendar. But the lights are already hung, the trees are going up and the sales are already in full swing, which means that we are in the thick of Christmas already. It’s a time of togetherness, a time of giving, a time of sharing and healing, but it’s also a time of some truly terrible songs. No other holiday invites so much truly awful music into existence. All Christmas carols are shrill and boring, and there are only a handful of Christmas-related pop songs that don’t make everybody want to stab hot pokers into their ears. The few exceptions are as follows: The Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York” (perhaps the best Christmas song ever written), the Flaming Lips’ “Christmas at the Zoo” (because it contains the lyric “The snakes and seals could all get out/ But they refused to leave”) and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You,” which just got re-released in remix form on iTunes.

The original version of “All I Want for Christmas is You” is a majestic anthem full of chimes, sleigh bells, doo-wop flourishes, sweeping strings and one of the most dynamic and clean vocal performances of Carey’s career. The remix doesn’t do much to improve on the song (it’s difficult to improve on perfection, after all), but it does dress up the song in a disco thump that should make your office Christmas party 28 percent funkier than it was last year.

Carey holds a lot of records (she has more #1 singles than any other solo artist in history and is the only artist to have seen her first five singles top the chart), but the fact that she is responsible for such a charming, catchy and listenable Christmas song should secure her place in the pop star hall of fame.

Mariah Carey To Re-Release Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel

Mariah Carey is expected to release a remixed edition of her album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel in February, following the disappointing sales of the original. The album will reportedly be available for an exclusive purchase through Target stores.

According to Rap-Up.com, her manager, Chris Lighty, tweeted the news about the album, which was originally released in September. He wrote, “Listen Memoirs remix LP February … no date set working on Target exclusive.” The Web site further reports that the album will feature collaborations with Swizz Beatz and Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, as well as Trey Songz, R. Kelly, T-Pain, Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman.

“There’s gonna be remixes to everything,” Stewart recently told Rap-Up. “I’m actually doing some remixing myself currently ’cause some of these records were so much fun to make. It’s easy to go in and do a remix.”

The producer said that there’s one track he really wants to get his hands on. “I’m gonna do a remix to ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ myself,” he said. “I’mma raise the tempo up. I’mma try to make it into something else. … Once I get the beat and if it calls for the right person, I can get anybody on the phone I want to right now, so I will be using my Rolodex for that.”

Songz also dished to the Web site about collaborating with Carey, saying that he worked with her on the song “Inseparable.” “I actually only had a day to do it. I did it on my day off. [They were] very professional, very adamant on wanting to get it done,” Songz explained. “They made sure we had all we needed. I just went in and got it done.”

Mariah Carey’s “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” is available across the globe! If you haven’t already buy the release from any of these outlets!

"If You're Black, Get Back?"

It may have been an angel-themed party, but Jasmine's fiery side was unleashed when she learned of racist treatment towards black guests at Mariah's London soiree

So Mariah recently touched down in the UK for a promo run and she also threw a massive angel-themed party in London. On the night of the event, I was preparing to get myself dressed and ready, except I couldn't because suddenly, my phone started blowing up with calls and texts.

There seemed to be mass confusion at the nightclub Jalouse, where many of the people on my guest list were having difficulty getting in. From the start, this party had too many cooks. There were five guest lists, an argument over the style of DJs, and a promoter that really didn't fill me with confidence. Still, I know when not to interfere so I held my tongue. But I shouldn't have.

It suddenly struck me that all my guests that were having difficulties getting in just happened to be black and male. I then received reports from the door that the door staff were being extremely and unnecessarily rude and even racist to many of them.

A number of my guests told me that they were snubbed at the door, and told things like, "Not tonight son, you're not suitably attired," etc. Well, I was spitting with fury.

After informing Mariah of this saga, she threatened not to go unless it was sorted immediately, so many calls and heated discussions were had. The PR company that were trying to control the door also informed me that the club seemed to have a colour-influenced door policy and when the PR girls questioned this seemingly prejudice policy, they were thrown out by security!

Readers, I was getting ready to go down there and knock someone out. I was so furious with the less than able half wit promoter who was the most ignorant, unhelpful, unprofessional person I have ever worked with. I organise events and parties for superstars regularly and never had I seen such malfunction.

The club was supposed to be giving all our guests wristbands to ensure their free beverages all evening, but our guests got nothing and were forced to pay extortionate bar prices. Meanwhile, the club charged their guests a lot of cash to pay to come and meet Mariah, so the club was mostly packed with people whom none of us had invited. It was a farce.

Even though a lot of celebrities like Sir Philip Green, Louis Walsh, Westlife, Geri Halliwell, Kanya King, Brenda Emanus, Alan Carr, Pixie Lott and Rupert Everett were inside, a lot of others – like Sway, Bashy and Lemar – were apparently treated very badly.

We finally arrived to a ridiculous fanfare and then people started frantically pushing, squeezing and flashing their cameras. This is how you know it wasn't our guest list but the club's crazy guests. Our guests come to all our events and never act the fool. They are made up of the likes of BBC 1Xtra DJs, Choice FM DJs, Kiss FM DJs, journalists from music magazines, online sites and so on. It was an absolute nightmare.

The DJ tried his best but the club had killed people's party vibe and now it was just full of drunk nobody's spilling champers all over everyone. The club staff had made our guests feel so bad that people were looking despondent or leaving. We hated it. It was horrible. We made small talk and smiled and greeted people but it was a wrap. We weren't in there for more than an hour and had to escape.

Outside we heard yet more horrible stories of the club staff verbally abusing our guests. Video director Jake Nava was told to tuck his shirt in and Chipmunk was so vex he bounced after 10 minutes.

It's pointless a club spending loads of money on PR, a publicity branded board, pink cupcakes and angel dressed bar staff, when the treatment of attending guests is going to be so bad.

The next day, after I finished apologising to my guests and reassuring them that this wasn't typical of my events or what Mariah would've wanted, I did some research. Many industry people said the club had an awful reputation. I was saddened and surprised.

Maybe it's naive of me but I truly didn't think things in London were this bad. My DJ mates and industry people laughed at me, telling me I was silly to be shocked because in many West End clubs, apparently this is the norm!

I don't understand why this has gone unchallenged for so long. But luckily, a friend of friend pointed me in the right direction and now I've been told that undercover government investigators will be making trips to clubs to see which are breaking the law, and those clubs may have their licenses revoked.

The bottom line: never go and spend your hard earned cash in clubs like Jalouse. They don't respect or want you. Spread the word. We don't advocate racism. Down with the Jalouses of this world.

Mariah Carey and Legacy Recordings are celebrating the 15th anniversary of Mariah’s contemporary yuletide classic “All I Want For Christmas Is You” with the digital release of brand new dance mixes of the track, executive produced by Mariah Carey and remixed by Low Sunday (Ron Haney, Bart Schoudel and Joey Arbagey), available through all major digital music providers on November 23, 2009.

New holiday ringtones of Mariah’s Dance Mix of “All I Want For Christmas Is You” will be available on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You,” has been America’s #1 holiday ringtone for the past three consecutive holiday seasons (2006, 2007, 2008), reaching cumulative sales of more than 1.6 million copies. The top-selling seasonal ringtone of all-time, Mariah’s holiday gem became the very first seasonal Mastertone to be awarded an RIAA certification in 2006 and was awarded an RIAA platinum certification in 2007. The song has hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Recurrents chart every year from 2005 - 2008.

A perennial radio and record chart-topper each holiday season since its original release in 1994, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was written by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff. Sasha Frere-Jones, writing in The New Yorker (April 3, 2006), heralded the song as “…one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon….”

“All I Want For Christmas Is You” was first heard as a key track on Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album. Originally released in 1994, Merry Christmas has gone on to become one of the top-selling holiday collections of all time, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide while earning 5x platinum certification from the RIAA.

Gossip: Mariah Carey plans huge champagne party for winner

MARIAH Carey has arranged a £10,000 champagne party for this year’s winner.

A source revealed: “She’s been really impressed by everyone on the show and thinks whoever wins deserves to feel like a superstar.

“Her favourite brand costs around £1,000 a bottle so not everyone can get their hands on it that easily!

“The X Factor champ will feel they’re on the A-list already.”

Singing star Mariah splashed out £50,000 on the Angel bubbly at a party for celeb pals while she was in London last week.

The upmarket hooch comes in hand-finished silver bottles which accounts for part of the price.

Our source added: “She wants the winner to feel extra special and this champagne is certainly one way of making sure that comes true.”

Mariah to Team Up with Westlife Again

Megastar Mariah Carey is teaming up with Westlife again for an exclusive single. She told me the secret after I was the only journalist to be given an XS All Areas pass when the world's biggest selling female singer arrived in town this week.

In our eXSclusive chat she revealed she can't wait to work with Kian, Nicky, Mark and Shane again. Mariah said: "They're very exciting artists and I love them."

She last worked with the lads in 2000, and Against All Odds topped the charts. But this time the record will only be released in Britain. "I want it to be the next single here and different to the rest of the world," she said. "I can't wait to do it."

Mariah, 39, was in London to switch on the Christmas lights at the Westfield Shopping Centre. She invited me backstage for a chat, and I can tell you the 20 white kittens and 100 white doves that she'd been rumoured to have demanded were nowhere to be seen.

In fact, the diva's area was quite modest - she even had to use a portaloo while she signed autographs for hours (though it was a luxury one with pink walls and a heater).

"This diva tag is never going to go away but it doesn't bother me anymore," Mariah said. And setting the record straight she added: "I didn't ask for anything."

Angelic Mariah parties through the night

The most expensive bubbly in the world, topless male models drenched in glitter and gazillions of fans packed into London’s most elite night spot. It was just another low-key bash for multi-million dollar Godmother of bling Mariah Carey.

A sizzling guest list including Geri Halliwell, 37, Rupert Everett, 50, Pixie Lott, 18, Alan Carr, 33, and Kelly Brook 29, turned up to Jalouse nightclub to celebrate the launch of Mariah’s new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.

Lavished with the UK’s entire stock of Mariah’s £850-a-bottle Angel champagne and 2,000 cupcakes, guests waited with bated breath for the queen of slinky R ’n B to arrive. For three hours.

After switching on the lights at Westfield shopping centre in London, the puppy-loving legend refused to go anywhere before having some R and R at the Dorchester. But cruising up in her cus­tomised £300,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom with ice-white leather inter­ior, her 1am entrance did not disappoint her admirers.

To the sound of her hit record Fantasy, the big-walleted warbler, 40, sashayed past hundreds of fans, straight into the VIP area.

The singer cheeped: “I am a diva! So friggin’ what? Who cares?”

So after wowing the crowds with her behemoth entourage, which included a personal candle lighter, where did the lady herself spend the majority of the evening? On the toilet, of course. The most expensive toilet in London. Crafted from onyx and crystal, the VIP lav comes with a personal masseuse and hair stylist.

Mariah spent 40 minutes preening before nipping back to her private pen on the opp­osite side of the club to the celeb VIP area.

After moving heaven and earth to make sure her star pals were looked after, you’d think Maz would want to mingle. But the picky popster only allowed a sel­ect few into her box, including X Factor judge Louis Walsh, 57.

She left at 2.30am saying she was “unwell”. We hope it wasn’t all that Angel champagne. Hiccup.
