"The Ballads" will be released in the market across the U.S. on January 20th.

Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis - Broadway Show?

Mariah Carey wants Leona Lewis to play her in a proposed Broadway musical about her rise to stardom.

If chosen, Leona would portray Mariah, the first artist to have her first five singles top the US Billboard 100 chart, from her discovery at age 20.

“Mariah’s not sure if she’ll star in it herself. If she doesn’t, names being tossed around include High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens and Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria. But Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her,” one spy whispered to Britain’s Daily Mail early Wednesday.

“Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.”

A spokeswoman for the diva confirmed: “Mariah is in talks for a Broadway musical to be made about her life in 2009.”

Theater bosses are hoping to have the production ready later this year.

Mariah Carey - No More Singles From E=MC2

According to Billboard.com, Mariah Carey will not release any more singles from her latest album E=MC². Def Jam has axed the scheduled release of “Migrate” as the fourth single. At press time, there was no clear answer as to why the record label decided against the release. There is speculation it may have to do with sales. Compared to her previous LP, The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah’s current disc has under-performed. E=MC² sold only 154-thousand units in its first week, unlike the 404-thousand copies Emancipation moved in its opening week.

However, there isn't only bad news, there will be a "Ballads" album released on October 20th. Sony BMG is collecting together all the best ballads for a brand new compilation called Mariah Carey - The Ballads. This single-disc collection will be supported with a major media advertising campaign that will see the album selling significant volumes right up to Christmas.
