Less is more in the stunning video for Mariah Carey and Miguel’s duet “#Beautiful,” which debuted on “American Idol.” The pop diva looks gorgeous as she models some skimpy outfits and rides on the back of a motorcycle with Miguel in the summery visuals, directed by Joseph Kahn.
The hot mama shows off her banging body while posing on a bike and gives her co-star a private show in a short yellow dress. Miguel takes it all in from the front seat of a vintage Porsche in a garage full of chandeliers.
The follow-up to 2009’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is due this summer featuring production from Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Big Jim Wright, Hit-Boy, The-Dream, Mike WiLL Made It, and Rodney Jerkins.
Mariah also confirmed that her twins, Monroe and Moroccan, will appear on the album, along with the top 3 “Idol” contestants, Candice, Kree, and Angie, who added their vocals to one song.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon went all out to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. “ET” was inside as the couple shut down Disneyland for the fairytale festivities.
Mariah and her daughter Monroe rode down Main Street in a horse-drawn carriage to meet their Prince Charmings, Nick and son Moroccan. The “big kids” brought the Cinderella fantasy to life for around 250 guests and their twins, who celebrated their second birthday earlier in the day.
After renewing their vows, the couple kissed in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle as fireworks lit up the night sky. The party continued well into the early hours of Wednesday morning, with Nick DJ’ing the reception.
“We’ve been through so much in the five years,” said Nick, who was hospitalized last year for kidney failure. “But to be able to experience things with your best friend, to have a teammate in this game of life, is amazing.”
Mariah and Nick have renewed their vows every year. Last year they marked their fourth anniversary at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Five years ago, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon surprised everyone by getting married in the Bahamas. On Tuesday, the couple celebrated their fifth anniversary with a fairytale ceremony at the Happiest Place on Earth. Nick Cannon went all out for the special occasion, shutting down Disneyland for his wife and children.
Around 250 guests including Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, and songwriter Diane Warren arrived to watch the couple renew their vows in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The pop diva arrived fashionably late in a horse-drawn pumpkin-shaped carriage with her daughter Monroe, and met her Prince Charming, who was waiting with their son Moroccan.
“Happy 5th(!!!!!!) Anniversary to the Best Husband in All The Land & 2 years ago pon de delivery,” tweeted Mimi, who will release her new single “Beautiful” featuring Miguel on Monday, May 6.
Earlier in the day, they celebrated the second birthday of Dem Babies at the amusement park.

The new era begins. Moments before the live “American Idol” results show, Mariah Carey surprised her Lambs by debuting a teaser for her new single “Beautiful” featuring Miguel. The song will be available on May 6, while the video was directed by Joseph Kahn.
Mimi is also expected to perform the song during the “GMA” Summer Concert Series kickoff on May 24.
Fantasia will make her return to the “American Idol” stage tonight, nine years after winning the title. She will perform her new single “Lose to Win,” but she’s not sweating it.
“This is the very first time that I’m not really, really nervous,” says the 28-year-old singer, whose fourth album Side Effects of You is due April 23. “Going back always reminds me of where it all started, which is a good thing. It’s a humbling thing for me.”
But instead of singing in front of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, she will face new judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.
So what does Fantasia think of Nicki as a judge? “Whatever floats their boat. I always believe in change. Everything can’t stay the same,” she tells Rap-Up TV. “The fact that they changed it up, brought somebody else in, a little younger that can relate to the younger crowd and a whole ‘nother different type of music, hey do it.”
As for Mariah, “I would have to say that that was a perfect choice as well. Mariah is a legend. She is music.”
Fantasia has been watching the latest season. “I think that they have some very, very good talent on this year. I will always say that my season was the best season,” she says of Season 3, which produced stars including Jennifer Hudson.
While she wouldn’t name her favorite on Season 12, she is partial to one particular contestant from South Carolina.

In between her judging gig on “American Idol,” Mariah has been in the studio working on her new album with Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Hit-Boy, The-Dream, and Rodney Jerkins. The project is slated for a May release.
