I don't like that song, though. :lol:

Well it's a little more modern. :P

I loved that song :lol:

I loved that song :lol:

So did I. :P

Oh and we can't forget the video!

From MariahDaily

 

Lights, camera, action!

 

The Blue Ribbon Bar and Grill in Estancia was temporarily transformed late last week into a set for a movie starring Mariah Carey and Ethan Peck.

 

Trucks, vans and trailers lined Estancia's main street and the bar was closed off from outside view with plastic sheets as shots were filmed for "Tennessee."

 

"It's a film about two brothers who make a trip cross-country in search of their father who they've been estranged from," said Reid Rosefelt, a publicist for Lee Daniels Entertainment, the production company behind the film.

 

The movie's characters take a trip from New Mexico to Tennessee in search of their father, according to a synopsis for the film on the company's Web site. On the way, the brothers meet Krystal— played by Carey— "an aspiring singer who flees an unhappy marriage to join them on their journey," the synopsis says.

 

Daniel Ortiz, who owns the Blue Ribbon Bar and Grill, said film crews worked in his bar from about 10:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. Thursday.

 

"Last year ... (the) Sci Fi Channel shot a sequel here ... and one of the gentlemen that was a locations guy talked to me then and told me he thought they might be coming back a little later for another movie," Ortiz said.

 

Ortiz said about 16 to 18 people came to survey the location to make sure it was suitable for the film.

 

"I guess they kinda liked this old, western setting," Ortiz said.

 

The bar closed Feb. 1 so the film crew could use the space, Ortiz said.

 

Ortiz said the experience was a positive one and ended up with a special present for his daughter's birthday, which was also Feb. 1.

 

"We managed to get a couple of shots with Mariah and they talked for a while," Ortiz said.

 

Ortiz said the production company was also utilizing a local church for a set on Monday.

 

Details from the Set:

Ortiz says the crew filmed two scenes at the bar. The first had Mariah and the two brothers sitting at the bar, drinking and talking, and then they moved onto the dancefloor. Things got tense when a fight scene breaks out on the dance floor. After that, the crew went outside and filmed scenes with Mariah and the two brothers in a car outside the bar, presumably talking before they went into the building.

 

Ortiz was very impressed with Mariah, and described her as "very cordial" and expressed how happy was when she delighted his daughter for her birthday by taking photos and talking with her.

 

The crew is going to be shooting more in Albuquerque and Santa Fe over the next week.

 

:D Started! Wooo

Good working relationships on the set is a good sign. Thanks Kieran.

Yeah it was a great video, let's hope Mariah doesn't replicate it though. :lol:

Can't wait to get some screencaps from this. :D

I can't imagine her strutting with only ten inches of denim covering her lower parts, but I bet Mariah would love it :o

Thanks for the info!

 

 

I can't wait to see it, I like Mariah in films, but I still think she should give up on acting :(

Oh if it's showing skin she'll love it. :lol:

Oh I don't, it's more opportunity to see her. :lol:

:lol: She should do a horror film where she gets killed by some psycho maniac :o (it would be funny :lol:)

:lol: She should do a horror film where she gets killed by some psycho maniac :o (it would be funny :lol:)

Do you think our friend ( :) ) is available to play the killer? :unsure:

Oh and I read a report from a fan that met Mariah today and they said she said she is going to go into the studio to work on the new album AFTER Tennessee is finished. :( :( :( :( :(

:rofl: Maybe he is, haven't seen his little soul around here as of late though :(

 

 

I want the album to start asap! I don't care about the film as much as the album :(...

I`ve got thighs and buttocks — I`m never going to be a size zero

Mariah Carey, now the face of the Pinko label, reveals her stylistic highs and lows

 

After a difficult childhood, Mariah Carey, 37, began her musical career in her late teens. Her big break came when her demo tape was given to Tommy Mottola, then the head of Sony Music Entertainment. They married in 1993, and divorced five years later. She is the bestselling female artist in history, with record sales of more than 165 million worldwide. She has won five Grammy Awards and is the world`s richest female recording artist. Despite what she calls the "debacle" of her debut film, Glitter, she is shooting Tennessee in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with Lee Daniels, who produced Monster`s Ball. She flew to London this week to promote Pinko, a high-end, high-street label with which she fell in love after visiting its store in Capri.

 

You`re rumoured to have a serious walk-in closet.

 

I have four if you include storage. I live on three floors of a block in Tribeca, so I have space. There`s one for lingerie, a shoe closet I designed with the architect Mario Buatta, and a pretty area for clothes with moving wardrobes and a bunch of shelves where I do fittings with stylists. The closets are a big part of my life, but it`s a work environment, too. It sounds obsessive — and it is pretty fabulous. But when I was 17 I had to wear my mum`s shoes and my feet poked through them. It was a really snowy winter and I thought, "One day I’m going to have so many shoes". The money thing was weird, like I went to bed poor and woke up rich.

 

How do you accentuate your best features?

 

I`m not sure I have best features. I had things I hated about myself. But I always believed in my voice and my music writing. At the start, I was offered $5,000 for my music rights and that was a fortune to me, but I knew enough about the business and my talent not to accept it. I would have ended up with nothing.

 

Worst fashion looks?

 

At the age of 12 I dyed my hair orange by mistake, and I shaved my eyebrows. You get a complex from that.

 

How much pressure does the industry put on everyone to look the same?

 

The industry doesn`t really know what it wants until it sees something successful and then tries to carbon-copy it. At the start of my career I didn`t see it as being about style; it was about talent. My mum was an opera singer and I`m privileged to have sung with Pavarotti. I hang out with a lot of singers and musicians — who aren’t size zero, so my body image is not part of that world.

 

What was with all the raunch?

 

People always said that I was raunchy, but how can I be raunchy? I`m eternally 12. The photographer David LaChapelle says I look like Mary Poppins. At the start I deliberately didn’t do bare midriffs because I wanted people to concentrate on my voice. I was being advised by people well into their forties on what was cool, and they wanted me to be wholesome and All-American, which I`m so not. My father`s black, my mother`s Irish-American, and the way I grew up was hardly The Brady Bunch.

 

But once they got the voice, I really had to push to wear things that were more revealing. It was probably because I was rebelling — I was married young and my husband was very specific about my look. I couldn`t even do my hair the way I wanted because he wanted it his way. I cannot believe now that I was married. When we got divorced I just wanted to have some fun.

 

Do you regret any outfit?

 

Many, oh so many. But if I tell you which ones, you`re gonna run them huge, right?

 

Hot date: what do you wear?

 

I haven`t really gone on many, believe it or not. But I`ll wear whatever I think is sexy — it doesn`t mean that I`m going to bed with that person.

 

High maintenance?

 

Completely. Everything about me is high maintenance, starting with the voice, which I look after like a child. I take a humidifier wherever I go and I sleep in a steam room to protect it. The TV in there is behind glass.

 

Then there`s the body, and my trainer, who is about the size of my pinkie finger, but she understands my body. I`m very muscular, so if I wear a wrong-shaped dress, people always think that I`ve gained weight. Actually I`ve stopped weighing myself. I`ve got thighs and buttocks and I’m never going to be a size zero. I like my curves. But I`m not gonna lie — if there`s a sample that’s a size two and I fit into it, I feel great. I don`t do enough gym. I don`t do facials because I have rosacea and having people poke at your face is not good for that. But I have home remedies: I make little packs of milk and ice to calm it down. I`m a beauty school dropout. I did 500 hours, so I can do my own make-up and hair. Now the hair is high maintenance. It`s really curly and can take hours.

 

Favourite designers?

 

That`s difficult. It`s more about favourite pieces. Today I`m in Gucci [camel poncho] and Alexander McQueen [but-ton-up black stiletto ankle boots] and these two rings from Van Cleef and Arpels [enormous diamond-encrust-ed butterflies, a tribute to her album Butterfly ]. It`s quite pared-down, mainly because I spilt something over myself and had to take off the blouse that I was wearing.

 

Is there anything you wouldn`t wear?

 

Flat shoes — they give me blisters. My babysitter used to laugh at me because when I was 12 I was always on tiptoe. I couldn`t walk flat. Even my trainer said to me, "Mariah, you cannot wear flats" — and I`m like, but they`re Hermãs and they match my bikini. I guess I`m a heel girl. I can run in them. I could swim in them if necessary.

 

Would you ever contemplate cosmetic surgery?

 

I hope when I get to that stage there will be a cream. Botox? Well, we`re still not sure what`s in that stuff. I`m lucky — because of my ethnicity, I think that I`ll be able to live with the lines.

 

Are you for ageing gracefully or disgracefully?

 

What`s disgracefully? I think ageing at all is just horrible.

 

Do you follow trends?

 

Not really, because I don`t read magazines — you see all these pictures of yourself getting bashed. My friends cut out the nice ones. I`m oblivious to the other stuff. The press has put me through the wringer, but at this point in my career, let`s be honest, it doesn`t really matter.

ooo great read! ^_^

:rofl: Maybe he is, haven't seen his little soul around here as of late though :(

I want the album to start asap! I don't care about the film as much as the album :(...

Oh me neither, he's posting much less nowadays. I hope it isn't me? :)

 

Agreed on the second point. :(

Meh it's an alright read, would have preferred more details on the new album or even the film...
