• Stevie Wonder mentions Mariah in an interview with The Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/2008/06/21/wonder_is_writing_songs_in_the_key_of_his_life/):
Q. Some of your biggest fans have become popular musicians. Is that always flattering?
A. To me it's an honor, and it's also a challenge, and so I'm influenced by the various people that are coming up as they say they are influenced by me. I like Alicia [Keys], I like Mariah [Carey], always taking chances doing different stuff. I think India[.Arie] is very talented. I'm a big John Mayer fan. I think [Justin Timberlake's] very talented, and it would be fun to work with him on stuff.
• Rumor Mill: Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/1013823,CST-NWS-SNEED19.article) columnist Michael Sneed reports that Mariah Carey has written a song called "100 percent," which she wants Barack Obama to use as his campaign theme song. Top tip: Word is Carey wrote it in hopes it would become a theme for the Olympics, but reconsidered once Barack became the presumed Dem presidential candidate. The song has yet to be recorded.
• From Newsday (http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/music/ny-ffmus5731843jun22,0,5320096.story?track=rss): Though her career is filled with classics - from "Lady Marmalade" to "New Attitude" - in recent years, Patti LaBelle hasn't had a big hit, despite releasing strong albums and working with hot producers. She wants to change that with a new solo album set for later this year that she hopes will include work with Mariah Carey and Ne-Yo, but she's not counting on it.
• Up-and-coming rapper Asher Roth mentions Mariah and Nick Cannon in "Cannon," a track from his new "The Greenhouse Effect Mixtape." Listen below. The full mixtape is available for free download at his MySpace (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=258195204&blogID=405393700).
You know the world's gone mad
When blacks wear plaid
And Mariah has married Nick Cannon
Or when a boy from the 'burbs
Has the nerves to converge
On a mixtape with DJ Cannon.
