...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...

She’s so famous, in fact, that instead of having porn advertisements sent from “Brittney Spears” filtered out of my Hotmail account, they’re now coming from “Mariah Carrey” instead. She’s also earned the goodwill of the armed forces by performing for American troops in Kosovo, and if that didn’t prove her patriotism, she performed the national anthem for a billion viewers at the Super Bowl this past Sunday...

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...
...Associated Press, J. Lo, Kid Rock and Ja Rule are off to a “U.S. Military base overseas” to entertain the USO troops during the holidays, sponsored by the popular music pantheon. Those stationed in Kosovo will have the pleasure of being serenaded by Mariah Carey. U2’s Bono ended the band’s Elevation tour in Miami with the exclamation, “I’d like to say how much we love this country and we wish you safety and prosperity,” wearing a New York Fire Department...
