One look at the first week sales forecast for Mariah Carey‘s new album and it’s clear the diva is in dire need of promotion.

Indeed, the set – which has been christened ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ – has been elusive in the minds of the masses, with only 55,000 units likely to be sold by the week’s end.

As such, the 44-year-‘s NBC Home Concert Special -which aired yesterday- arrived right on time.

Even better, ol’ Mimi actually sounded good performing classic ‘We Belong Together’ and newer numbers ‘Heavenly’ and ‘Money’.

Watch Ms. Carey-Cannon soar after the jump…

As reported here, media mogul Oprah Winfrey continues her reignited foray into film with the production of a new Martin Luther King, Jr. based biopic.

Titled ‘Selma,’ the Ava DuVernay-directed film is set to chronicle MLK’s historic voting rights campaign that included the 1965 march to Selma, AL. Produced by Oprah and Brad Pitt‘s Plan B, the pic is already set to star Winfrey, rapper Common, Tom Wilkinson, Martin Sheen, and will now see the ‘Queen of Talk’ reunite with her ‘The Butler’ co-star Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Tapped to play famed civil rights attorney and activist Fred Gray, the Academy Award-winner is the latest to join the growing cast.  As of time reporting, the Paramount Pictures’ film has no projected release date.

After weeks of teasers, ‘Snatch the Cat Back’ belle Khia returns with a full view of the visual to her latest single ‘You Deserve It.’  After one peek, however, we’ve determined that the only thing we “deserve” is the ability to snatch back the minutes we used watching it.

Shambolic at best, the song and clip’s intentions are to show the triple chalk dust-certified diva as a multifaceted rapstress who can depart from her usual brew of sexually explicit lyrics to perform softer, R&B driven melodies.  Despite missing the mark completely, we still want to give an A for effort.

Tapping what appeared to be a passing Iphone owner to direct, film, and edit the video with his or her glossy picture phone, see Khia’s latest below:
