...someone whose career has supposedly sunk to the bottom of the pop culture septic tank, Mariah Carey isn’t doing too badly. Sure, she got very publicly dropped from an extremely lucrative record deal signed just last April, and she’s still probably recovering from the “exhaustion” which put her in the hospital last summer. Her most recent album, released on Sept. 11, sold just 478,000 copies and cost her record company $10 million. And if that weren’t bad enough, A Walk to Remember, the highly forgettable...
...measures designed to trim costs by at least $92 million by either dumping manufacturing and distribution operations or rolling them into joint ventures with other labels. Poor performing artists aren?t secure, either, including such legends as Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney. Last month, EMI gave pop diva Mariah Carey a $28 million payoff to free itself from the $80 million contract it signed her to last year. Carey, whose 1993 album Music Box sold 24 million copies, could only generate sales of 2 million for her first and only EMI release, Glitter, which left the label $10 million...

Also with a friend in the top job, Charles might find it easier eventually to marry Camilla Parker Bowles. Divorced couples are currently remarried in the church only at the discretion of the priest - another thorny issue waiting to ambush the Canterbury incumbent. Meanwhile, Chartres...
...this would be unusual, before recommending one to the Queen, who then appoints his choice. The process is an expression of the strange union between church and state that Britain inherited from Henry VIII. There have long been calls for disestablishment of the church - its separation from the state. Carey, like his predecessors, has opposed them...
Whoever gets the job knows he will have a hard task in keeping the unwieldy Anglican Communion afloat and the domestic church from falling further into irrelevance. Carey is revered in the Third World, where there are genuine areas of Anglican growth. But it's at home, with a church that Carey once likened to an "elderly lady, muttering ancient platitudes through toothless gums," that the problems may seem darkest. There are pockets of hope. Ordinations have risen by 50% in the last five years - with the help of women - black churches are vibrant, and evangelical crusades like the Alpha...
