Mariah Carey is everywhere these days!

The campy diva was on hand  to christen the new Disney cruise ship, ‘Fantasy’, at a Hudson River pier in Manhattan last night.

May God bless this ship and all who sail on it.” Carey’s joyful announcement was received by a sea of cheers and applause.

Immediately after, the songbird hightailed it to Gotham Hall in NYC to perform a mini-concert presented by ‘Plot Your Escape’–which was later streamed around the world.

In quite the apt pairing, Ciara was snapped cooking up new material with The Underdogs.

The criminally underrated ‘Ride’ singer has tapped with the pair (Harvey Mason Jr and Damon Thomas) to craft hits for her eagerly awaited Epic Records debut.

Insanely versatile, the duo are renown for their creamy R&B mid-tempos, yet can and will crank up the tempo – as evidenced by Chris Brown‘s ‘Turn Up The Music’ – which they produced.

With Ms. Marris having logged in time with Soundz, Hitboy, Bangladesh, and now the ‘Dogs, it seems no expense is being spared in ensuring her “comeback” is a smash. We wait and we pray.
