Dick Clark productions president, Orly Adelson, announced today that Mariah Carey will perform at the 2008 American Music Awards.

"We are thrilled to have Mariah perform at this year's AMAs. She is one of the best female vocalists of our time and her performances never fail to delight and surprise the audience," said AMA producer Larry Klein. Carey's smash hits, "Touch My Body" and "Bye Bye," resulted in a #1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart for her latest effort, E=MC?. Carey reached an historic career achievement earlier this year when her single "Touch My Body" became her 18th #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. The 11th studio album of her career, E=MC? is Carey's follow-up to The Emancipation of Mimi, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and reached # 1 on the Billboard Hot 200. Released in April 2005, Mimi was Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year which brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to over 160 million worldwide, making her the top-selling female recording artist in history.

In addition to performing Mariah is nominated for an AMA in the following categories:
Favorite Female Artist - Pop or Rock Music
Favorite Album - Soul/Rhythm & Blues Music: E=MC?

The show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and broadcast live from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on ABC. This year's AMA tickets and VIP ticket packages are now on sale at www.ticketmaster.com or call 1-877-AEG-TICKETS.

Any "Best Whatever of All Time" list is certain to - perhaps is actually designed to - rile people up. Why is so-and-so ranked above such-and-such? How could you leave off [insert personal favorite]? What idiots would pick so-and-so as the No. 1?

The Grammy Awards nomination ceremony gets its own hour-long TV special December 3, with Mariah Carey joining hosts LL Cool J and Taylor Swift as well a musical lineup that includes Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, B.B. King and John Mayer.

Mariah Carey has previously said she wouldn't get pregnant because she'd probably get fat and it could ruin her body. Perhaps she's matured a bit and realises that, that statement is a bit ridiculous and really not a good reason not to have a child.

In this Variety article, Mariah explains what drew her to the role of Krystal, an aspiring singer in the indie drama Tennessee. Mariah also touches on how the musical aspects of her character differ from her approach to an album project.

Mariah's original song from the film Tennessee, which she co-wrote with Willie Nelson, will be available for digital download on iTunes and Amazon on Tuesday, November 25th.

With the critical backlash to her 2001 "Glitter" film and soundtrack a distant memory, Mariah Carey rises again to star and sing in the indie pic "Tennessee" as Krystal, an aspiring singer who leaves a soured marriage to embark on a road trip to the heartland.

Mariah Carey has agreed to perform at the upcoming "Grammy Nominations Concert Live - Countdown to Music's Biggest Night" in Los Angeles, CBS said Monday. LL Cool J and Taylor Swift have been named co-hosts of the event.

Mariah Carey has hit back at critics who claim she is too old for Nick Cannon. Mariah is 11 years older than the actor/producer. But after a disastrous marriage to former manager Tommy Mottola, she claims she couldn't be happier with her younger man.

She's been in a state of bliss since marrying Nick Cannon earlier this year. And over the weekend, Mariah Carey began to show some tell-tale signs that she may be preggers. The songstress opted for an uncharacteristically conservative ensemble.

It's lifestyles of the rich and famous for Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon as they relax during a romantic break. The pair - who married in May after a whirlwind courtship - were spotted sunbathing on the balcony of a luxury resort in Mexico.

Mariah Carey is desperate to get pregnant. The Touch My Body singer - who married singer Nick Cannon in a secret ceremony earlier this year - is on a mission to start a family with her new husband before her 40th birthday next March.

X Factor single Hero - released to raise money for servicemen and women injured in the line of duty - has made it three weeks running at number one. The track is the fastest selling charity record of the decade and the fastest selling single of 2008.

Everyone crammed the stage to catch the headliner, Mariah Carey, who also put on an incredible performance, a mini-concert of several hits with dancers and backing band, which had some local publicists speechless for a change.

While Madonna wasn't at last night's star-studded grand reopening of the Fontainebleau resort in Miami, her best friend Gwyneth Paltrow wasl in attendance. "She's doing great!" Gwyneth told reporters when asked about how Madge is faring post-split.

Mariah Carey wants to "rule the world" with Simon Cowell. The "Touch My Body" singer is a big fan of the music mogul and would love to work with him. She said: "The man has it all. I've always admired him and have told him we could rule the world together."
