Mariah Carey is doing all she can to stop her former record producer, Damion “Damizza” Young, from writing about her ni his upcoming book Guilty by Association.
Young says he will give details about their “intense four-year personal relationship they shared and worked diligently to disguise from the world’s press.”
But according to PageSix, the singer’s lawyer Sonya Guardo sent him a letter reminding him he signed a confidentiality agreement saying he could not talk about Mariah in his book.
Mariah Carey has dropped big name Benny Medina as her manager, so she can represent herself.
The pair have worked together for over five years and they both say they will continue to work with each other, with his company, Medina’s Handprint Entertainment, developing content for her while her own company, Maroon Entertainment, will manage her career.
In a statement to E! she says, “Press Reports have not been accurate, Benny Medina and I will continue to work together on projects both present and in the future. I’m looking forward to working with Benny on what we have been developing, and to his continued involvement in my creative life.”
Medina himself says, “Being as involved as I have been over the last five years, I am reminded how great teamwork leads to great success. This affords me the opportunity to work on some great projects with Mariah, including the upcoming tour, an HBO Christmas movie and a variety music show for CBS, as well as to pursue some of my other [productional] interests.”
Mariay Carey said she is no sure that new husband Nick Cannon is her soulmate, because he reminds her of her mother, Patricia .
The 38-year-old singer tells Fashion Rocks magazine that like her mother, Nick can make any situation a good one with his upbeat attitude.
She says,“when I was a kid there was an ice storm in the suburbs… We went to Manhattan to stay with a friend of my mom’s. There was nobody on the road. It was this moment that could’ve been scary for a kid, but she made it festive. That’s what Nick is like. He takes the hard part of a situation and makes it celebratory.”

Another artist in the full list of nominations is Mariah Carey for her song and video Touch My Body. Mariah who has never won an award at the American VMA’s recently said, “I don’t own a Moonman from this country, isn’t that an abusive situation? I have faith in my fans, I believe they will come through for me, because they always have.”
The Touch My Body singer who has only performed at the awards show finished by saying, “I haven’t really gone, I’ve only performed, I will make it this year.”
So tell us, should Britney or Mariah get a moonman?
