The report surfaces one month after Cannon’s episode with ‘mild kidney failure’ (photo above).
Sharing his thoughts with listeners this morning, see what Mr. Cannon had to say after the jump:
The 2012 BET Honors aired tonight and tributed the achievements of Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Dr. Maya Angelou, among others. The Gabrielle Union-hosted affair, shot January 14th, took place at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C and saw acts Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Hudson, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder, and more hit the stage to salute the hour’s honorees.

VH1 has completed its quest to crown ‘the ultimate diva’ (based on fan votes) by unveiling its list of the 100 greatest women of music history. The survey comes as their second – the first saw acts Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner take the number 1 and 2 spots respectively while acts like Madonna and Billie Holiday filled out the top 10.
With 6 categories – “All Time”, “90s”, “80s”, “Pop”, “Rock”, and “Hip Hop/R&B” – VH1 has introduced a more comprehensive compilation of divas to include, unlike their original survey, more contemporary performers (i.e. Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, etc) and base it on achievements in the past 20 years. Sure to get tongues wagging, the list’s first 20 are set for a televised unveil on tonight’s premiere episode of the five night countdown at 10pm Eastern.
If this list is the best they could do, VH1 may have done better unveiling this on April 1st. Find out where your fave fell via the full list below:

In response to the tragic passing of Whitney Houston, her former collaborator and long time friend Mariah Carey has shared her thoughts on the news via Twitter today.
Her comments below…
It’s certainly been a game of musical chairs (literally) since X Factor USA’s Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger found themselves axed from the judges panel. With rumors swirling at who would be the ladies’ replacements, no two names have been mentioned more than vocal powerhouses Mariah Carey and Beyonce. Both of whom have made headlines in the last year for new additions to their families, the mommy musicians have had the industry abuzz with news of Cowell’s interest in their seating on the judges row.
As reports began to surface that Simon offered the ‘Upgrade U’ diva $100 million dollars (some reports claiming $500 million) just to guest the judges bench and Nick Cannon reportedly slamming suggestions of wife Mariah’s involvement, the X Factor craftsman has finally decided to come forth to set the record straight on both ladies’ potential involvement on the show.
Will we be viewing the ‘Vision of Love’ diva on X Factor or the ‘Baby Boy’ beauty? See Simon as he talks X Factor with EXTRA below (you may be surprised at the answer):
With more cuts and switcheroos than Destiny’s Child, the X Factor panel has seen two judges and one host axed from its regular lineup just this week. Such dismissals instantly ushered in whispers of who would replace female judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul. And, while names like Nicki Minaj and Kelly Rowland were instantly tossed around, no name has had the rumor mill buzzing more than Mariah Carey.
Unlike Minaj and Rowland, the ‘Hero’ hitmaker was rumored to be part of the original cast of the show during its first American season as show creator, Simon Cowell, repeatedly made public pleas for the songstress to guest his show. But, as the buzz reaches a feverish pitch, Mr. Mariah Carey husband Nick Cannon has stepped in to slam all reports that the singer will be joining the X Factor crew.
Citing her legendary status as cause she would be uninterested, read more from Cannon after the jump:
It’s been a long time coming, but Mariah Carey‘s new album is well on its way.
With confirmed production from DJ Clue and Randy Jackson, today saw Camp Mimi release footage from a recent studio session with Jermaine Dupri, reportedly shot some weeks ago.
Watch below…
With May earmarked as the window through which new Mariah Carey material will arrive, the diva has re-teamed with longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri.
Taking to Twitter, the ‘Always Be My Baby’ producer wrote:
MARIAH CAREY: MC BACK IN SOUTHSIDE
I said MC they don’t expect you to be camera ready,she said Yes they do LOL!!
MC in the building giving you the ABMB moment
The pair made magic over the years, and will need to conjure up much more if they’re to deliver the “comeback” Carey’s career is need of.
And while their last major outing (‘E=MC2′) saw the pair serve up 100 ‘We Belong Together’ rehashes, we’re confident they can cook up something fresh and dynamic this go round. For, as the ‘Emancipation’ showed, ol’ MiMi is at her best when the odds are stacked against her.
Peep another pic after the jump…
After an 18 month absence from the stage, Mariah Carey is to making a grand return to the live circuit this May. And, in news that will excite her legion of Lambs, the diva is reportedly bringing new material with her.
