Mariah Carey: ‘I don’t care that Britney Spears is on X Factor’

US diva Mariah Carey has revealed that she has no interest in Britney Spears’ new role on X Factor USA, and that she will never be persuaded to join a talent show herself.

In a red carpet interview with US show EXTRA, the singer was quizzed on her reaction to Britney’s signing to the American X Factor panel. Her reaction was one of almost total disinterest.

“You think I focus on that stuff?” replied Mariah. “Have we met? I love her, honestly, I think she’s a very nice person, but I don’t care who’s going on that show – as long as it’s not me.”

She also added that she was planning a few live shows in America, but seemed confused on whether she was being question on her plans – or Britney’s.

“Her tour or my tour?” She questioned. “Darling, I got to finish my album. I’m going to play a few shows.”

Mariah Carey Parties Until 2 a.m. at West Hollywood Gay Bar!

Already celebrating because of President Obama’s announcement in support of same-sex marriage, the crowd at The Abbey Food and Bar in West Hollywood was in for an even bigger treat when Mariah Carey showed up out of the blue Wednesday night.

“There was no formal announcement that she arrived at the club, but she and her friend B. Scott held court at one of the main dance floor tables – so she was very visible,” a partygoer tells PEOPLE of the singer, who recently renewed her vows in Paris. “She was very nice and gracious.”

In honor of Carey’s appearance, the deejay started playing her songs, which caused the ladies on the dance floor to “go crazy,” the source says.

Even though the pop diva, who stuck around until 2 a.m. and took some shots of Beluga vodka, kindly posed for pictures with many people at the club, the insider explains, “A security guard had to stay by her booth to control her fans.”

Mariah talks about some of her hits to celebrate release of US Essential collection

Here are some quotes by Mariah on songs featured on her new compilation album, “The Essential Mariah Carey”. Fans in the US can purchase the album on itunes.

“This song will always be one of my favorites, not only because it was my first single and first #1 song but because it really does have a special meaning to me about realizing my dreams.” – Mariah on “Vision of Love”

“This is one of those songs that I almost forgot about until a fan brought it to my attention via Twitter. I’m proud of it because I feel like I just let go and sang from my heart and David Cole, may he rest in peace, helped me get to a place vocally that I couldn’t have done without him.” – Mariah on “Emotions” (C&C Club Mix)

“This was one of my favorite songs on my sophomore album. I think it may have leaned a bit too R&B for the record label at the time. I still love it and look forward to singing it live again soon.” – Mariah on “Can’t Let Go”

“Fantasy is one of my favorite songs of all time, it reminds me of feeling free, driving in the car and blasting it on the radio. There are so many versions of that song but my favorite is the remix with O.D.B. May he rest in peace.” – Mariah on “Fantasy”

“‘The Roof’ will always be one of my favorite songs, especially this version with Mobb Deep that is on ‘The Essential’. I hope people who were not exposed to this song when it first came out will enjoy it now.” – Mariah on “The Roof”

Nick Cannon Teases ‘Fantasy/Fairytale’ Project With Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon might soon be working together on a top-secret project. The proud parents of Dem Babies are hooking up for a spankin’-new endeavor that will focus on family.

While the details of the venture are slim, Cannon shared that it will certainly pay homage to their year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

“Yeah we actually got some stuff in development that we’re working on, some animated stuff that her and I are putting together,” he told MTV News. “So you’ll definitely see her in that space too. Oh yeah, it’s just something that we both enjoy, and even more so than that, we’re both kids at heart. So we love those types of stories and fantasy/fairytale type of stuff.”
Before Cannon explores fairytales with Carey, he serves as the executive producer on the forthcoming Nickelodeon flick, “Rags,” a hip take on Cinderella, complete with gender role reversals. It features Nick stars Keke Palmer, Max Schneider and Drake Bell. The network chairman explains that you should expect more and more family-friendly programming influenced by his own real-life role as dad.

“I mean it’s one of those things where a lot of the stuff I’m going to be doing in the near future is going to be really family-driven just because of the fact being a father and wanting to be able to provide content for my kids,” he said. “So it works out really good. It makes you proud when you can have some work that your kids can go see.”

In addition to “Rags” and his untitled project with Carey, Cannon just signed on to make his directorial debut with “School Dance,” which will follow in the vein of “Friday” and “House Party.” Variety reports it will revolve around a teen who wants to join the coolest dance clique in school, though he fears his stage fright will prevent him from passing initiation.

While it seems that Cannon is focused on making projects his kids can watch, it might be a while before Roc and Roe check out “School Dance.”

Mariah pens song “Mesmerized” for new Lee Daniels film “The Paperboy”

Multi-award winning singer and producer Mariah Carey, has just announced on Twitter – where else – that she’s written and recorded a new song called “Mesmerized” for director Lee Daniels’s (Precious, Shadowboxer) new film, The Paperboy.

Her exact words were: “lil’ excited to share with you that I wrote a song for Lee Daniels’ new movie “The Paperboy” called Mesmerized!”

Rumored to be co-written and/or co-produced with Jermaine Dupri, this news is all kinds of incredible for a number of reasons:

1: The Paperboy is a Cannes Film Festival contender. That’s right Cannes. Serious film industry showcase for new films and not-to-be-sniffed-at prestige, European glamour fest.

2: The film stars some major thesps.  Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and, if that wasn’t enough, John Cusack.

3: Now add Mariah Carey to the mix, and maybe the possibility of her “Glitteriness” hot-footing it down to the French Riveria in a few weeks when the festival starts (May16-27) – and it all starts to get fabulously surreal.

The Paperboy is based on a novel by Pete Dexter. In a nutshell, the plot involves journalist (McConaughey) and his younger brother (Efron) as they investigate the events behind the conviction of an inmate on death row.The film’s getting lots of critical buzz and apparently Kidman’s performance is sensational.

Looks as if life has suddenly got very good again for Mrs Cannon. After the scare of husband Nick Cannon’s collapse then diagnosis with autoimmune disease, lupus nephritis, in January of this year, the couple recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in Paris with their twins Moroccan and Monroe.

There’s no word yet on whether the world will get to hear “Mesmerized” before Cannes, but here’s hoping.
