Mariah Carey hits Broadway


It is rumoured that Mariah Carey's life story will be turned into a Broadway musical. Apparently, Mariah, 39, attracted the attention of a huge Broadway producer and he wants the entire show to be based on her life events.

The musical is set to include her life events, the good and the bad. Her divorce with 'Sony' boss Tommy Mottola in 1997 and her physical and emotional breakdown. Not to mention her arguments with record producers and her 'subtle' diva-rish ways!

Mariah's first movie attempt was with 'Glitter' in 2001, a movie similar to her life instead of based on. The movie was so bad it had the potential to ruin her career. It didn't just have a bad storyline but terrible acting too, Mariah being one of them!


Lets just hope the musical is far better than the movie, otherwise, I feel sorry for her already!

OMG! Fergie becomes a prostitute!

Black Eyed Peas' Fergie has landed a role in the new musical movie 'Nine' that will hit our screens next year!

She will star alongside actresses such as Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Penelope Cruz in this top production.

This musical follows the life of a film director, 'Guido Contini' (played by
Daniel Day-Lewis) who's in the process of completeing his next film. However, he has far too many women in his life, a wife, a mistress, a muse and a protege.



Fergie, 33, will be playing a character called 'Saraghina' who introduces 'Guido Contini' to the world of sexuality, helping confuse him along his journey!

She will also be dueting with Daniel Day-Lewis in the musical on a track called 'Be Italian'.

This music was originally a broadway production which won five
Tony Awards including 'Best Musical'.

First, Beyonce starred in a musical and now its Fergie turn... It's musical mania for these pop stars!

I am soo excited to see this film! Lets just hope it can do as much justice!

Beyonce stars in another musical!



Beyonce Knowles has lined herself up yet another amazing role playing Etta James in the new musical to hit the cinemas.

Cadillac Records is the new musical biopic starring Beyonce Knowles, Gabrielle Union, Mos Def, Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright and many more.

Directed and written by
Darnell Martin, this movie is based on a true-story and explores the musical era from the ealy 1940s to the late 1960s.

The movie tells the story of how a small music record label, Chess Records, eventually gave birth to Rock 'n' Roll in 1955 with Chuck Berry (Mos Def).

In order to do that the record label began recording blues music with Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright), the leading role of record producer being played by Adrien Brody.



I'm yet to actually enjoy a musical in the cinema with those spontaneous out bursts of song! I simply can not handle it!

But, this movie has high expectations and apparently shows spectacular performances by all the cast!

So, well done Darnell and personally I can't wait to see Beyonce do her thing!
