The BET Awards 2013 just injected with a delightful dose of girl power.
For, a bevy of music’s biggest names have been confirmed to perform at the June 30th extravaganza.
Details after the jump…

According to Jermaine Dupri, Mariah Carey will indeed be showing the masses ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ on her 14th studio album (due July 23rd). However, by the look of these new snaps, the singer seems equally keen to showcase the art of her body.
Taking to Twitter, the 43-year-old mother of two posted the suggestive collage above with the following message…

Oh Mimi and this forced sex-appeal. On the one hand, if you’ve got it flaunt it. And to a degree, she does still (have “it”). However, for yours truly, Mariah has always has always evoked “timeless classy” more than she has “sexy”. Hence, why she’s spent more than a decade trying to push the latter is beyond me. She need not look further than Jennifer Lopez (who is exactly the same age) to see how to both preserve and mature one’s sexy over time. For, in not pushing her puppies in anyone’s face ala Mimi, La Lopez has retained both her “cool” and stunner status.
Anyway…
Little is known about this shoot beyond the fact that it took place in Capri, Italy last night and R&B crooner Miguel features. Mariah and the airborne singer continue to enjoy great success on the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit ‘#Beautiful’ – which begs the question of whether the filming was for a sequel of sorts? Or perhaps the ‘Adorn’ crooner is simply making a cameo in Mimi’s next video? Who knows.
What is certain is that more pics await after the jump…

Mariah Carey kicks off her new “era” in just under a month when her hotly anticipated new album struts into stores on July 23rd.
Preceded by Billboard hit ‘#Beautiful’, speculation has been rife about what exact the LP has been christened.
Well, if a new major retailer listing is to be believed, the album is titled….

Age ain’t nothing but a number. Just ask Mariah Carey.
The 43-year-old diva is showing no signs of slowing. With a hit on her hands in the form of ‘#Beautiful’ and an album due next month, it’s clear Ms. Carey-Cannon is in a music state of mind.
Still, she’s not letting this (nor ‘Glitter’) quell her big screen ambitions. The songstress is set to make a cameo in Lee Daniels‘ hotly anticipated new movie ‘The Butler’. Already tipped for Oscar success, the film chronicles the life and times of Eugene Allen – the Black butler who served eight US presidents between 1952-1986.
Set for release in October, a new promo for the flick (which also stars Oprah Winfrey and Terrence Howard) has been released depicting a make-up less Mimi working in the fields. A far cry from her glamorous get-ups, this marks the second time the singer has appeared in such a manner for an acting role. The first, 2009′s ‘Precious’, was also directed by Daniels.

We know we’ll be watching, will you?

Viewers of The Voice UK are well-versed in the fact that will.i.am is notorious for saying his mind. However, the hitmaker and “coach” on the show sparked social media debate tonight following controversial comments made about diva Mariah Carey while praising favourite-to-win Leah McFall.

‘The New Era Begins’.
If the last few months have taught us anything, it’s that Mariah Carey‘s new management team are geniuses…seriously.
For, in not playing into the idea that her name alone was enough to sell her new material, her camp crafted a radio driven campaign that has seen her win the hearts of an audience far too removed from the 90s to truly appreciate her art.
Now, as her new single ‘Beautiful’ continues to soar across the globe, Ms.Carey has announced the release date of its supporting album.
Find out when that it is below!

Mariah Carey may be a diva, yet the songstress certainly knows how to tug at the heartstrings.
The 43-year-old, who is riding high from the success of new single ‘#Beautiful’, shared this warming snap of her enjoying a “festive” moment with mother Patricia Carey and two-year-old daughter Monroe Carey-Cannon.
As Mimi’s ever-loyal Lambs know, the singer learnt her craft from Patricia – who is an Opera vocalist.
In other Mariah news, fresh reports suggest her upcoming album may hit stores sooner than expected. Current pencilled-in dates suggest a Summer release is imminent.

It shouldn’t be this way, but the voice and their use of it stands as one of the weaker points of many of today’s ‘new girls’.
Sure, while the likes of Rihanna and Katy Perry may put down a mean track in the studio, one can oft depend on them to slip and slide once their tasked with performing the same cut live.
Now, as the world continues to hail Ariana Grande as the exception to this trend, check out her cover to Mariah Carey‘s David Cole penned ‘Emotions‘- released to fans last year but seemingly overlooked by the casual listener…until now.
Press play!
