Hot Shot: Mariah Carey Goes Make-Up Free In ‘The Butler’

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.
