Mariah Carey stepped out to honor the most compelling gay people of the year at Out magazine’s Out100 gala in New York on Thursday night. The pop diva was ravishing in a busty black dress, with fan in hand, as she accepted the Artist of the Year award on behalf of The Butler director Lee Daniels (Mariah also starred in the film).
She caught up with Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry at the event, but before heading out, posed for an Instagram pic with her own little diva Monroe.
The singer posted an open letter to her Lambs after an unfinished version of her single “The Art of Letting Go” was released on Facebook.
“A mistake was made by a brand new sound engineer whose only task was to press the space bar and upload the song to Facebook,” said Mariah.
The correct mastered version was sent to iTunes. She posted both versions on Facebook and asked her fans if they could hear the difference.
“Even if the differences may seem slight to you, I had put time, effort and emotions into ‘The Art of Letting Go’ and the real mix is how I intended for you to hear the song,” said Mimi.
She will celebrate the holiday season by performing on the upcoming Christmas specials “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” (12/4) and “Michael Bublé’s 3rd Annual Christmas Special” (12/18).
With her EP Sail Out headed for a top 10 debut, Jhené Aiko returned home to celebrate the release with her family and friends at Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood on Thursday night.
The L.A. songstress, who is currently on tour with Drake, was joined by her parents and siblings at the intimate gathering. Guests including Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Omarion, Stalley, Luke James, and Hit-Boy sipped Hennessy V.S on the outdoor patio.
Fresh out of rehab, Chris made his first public appearance with girlfriend Karrueche Tran. The “Fine China” singer, who left the facility to start his community service, posed for photos and was later seen at Aventine restaurant. TMZ reports that he is selling his Hollywood Hills home and moving to Malibu.
Despite feeling under the weather, Aiko performed a three-song acoustic set including “Bed Peace,” “Space Jam,” and “Stay Ready (What a Life).”
“Los Angeles really showed up tonight! My home, my favorite ! Thanks to all my family, friends & fans who celebrated #SailOut w/me tonight!” she tweeted.
Sail Out is expected to sell 30-35,000 copies in its first week and become the best-selling EP in the history of Def Jam.
Lil’ Kim has revealed the new cover art for her single “Dead Gal Walking.” A zombie Kim lurks in the background on the dark and bloody artwork designed by Dusty Designs.
The original cover sparked controversy after makeup artist Samantha Ravndahl claimed Kim took her photo and used it without permission.
Ravndahl tells TMZ that she posted the selfie online and soon noticed that Kim was using it on her social sites. She is hoping to reach a financial settlement and avoid a lawsuit.
The song, which dropped on Halloween, is set to appear on Kim’s mixtape Hard Core 2K13, now due on Nov. 29 aka Black Friday.
