(Photo: Carla Orrego Veliz) Lee Daniels’ Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire earned Mo’Nique a best actress award. In the film, Mo’Nique plays illiterate, pregnant teenager Gabourey Sidibe’s abusive mother. Additionally, Precious received an honorary mention from the International Film Critics. (Cary Fukunaga’s Sin Nombre was the critics’ top choice.) Precious, Daniels, and Mo’Nique have all been touted as potential Oscar contenders. Mo’Nique, however, will probably land a best supporting actress nomination, while Gabourey Sidibe will likely get a best actress nod. Also in the Precious cast: Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz. Anastasios Soulis was the winner of this year’s L’Oréal Paris Rising Star Award. (Photo: [...] »

Mariah Carey Reportedly Will Leave Island Def Jam

27 November 2009 8:23 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Mariah Carey may not release her next studio album under Island Def Jam. Having been signed to the label since 2002, the wife of Nick Cannon reportedly has a rift with its boss L.A. Reid and is ready to sign a deal with another company.

According to That Grape Juice, the feud between Carey and Reid happens due to lukewarm sale of her latest studio installment "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". The record could only debut at No. 3 on Billboard Hot 200 with 168,000 units, a noticeable drop from her previous album's opening week of 463,000 copies.

On another news related to Mariah Carey, the singer will follow up her duet track with Westlife on 2000 song called "Against All Odds" with another collaborative project. "They're very exciting artists and I love them," she told the News of the World. "I want it to be the next single here and different to the rest of the world. »

27 November 2009 9:39 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

For every year the voters got it right, such as when the Beatles won in 1965, there has been a year when a dubious choice, such as Starland Vocal Band or Milli Vanilli took home the prize. To be sure, time proved the Grammy voters prescient in selecting up-and-coming talents such as Tom Jones, Carly Simon, Bette Midler, Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, Christina Aguilera and Norah Jones. But, just for fun, let’s look at some of the nominated artists who lost... »
