WHETHER you are into fast cars or not, Grand Prix season has an entertainment line-up to get your motor running.
From as little as $38, the lowest price of the Sept 24 single-day Zone 4 walkabout ticket, music lovers can see stars such as Grammy-winning hip-hop singer Missy Elliott and American Idol alumni Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry who will be singing with his band, Daughtry.
They will perform on a huge stage at the Padang in the heart of the race circuit, in between and after the races. On Sept 26, the final night of the three-day Grand Prix, the cheapest tickets to see Mariah Carey, one of the biggest names in pop, cost only $128.
‘If Lushington brings in Mariah Carey alone, the ticket would go up to $800,’ Singapore GP executive director Michael Roche, who is also director of promoters Lushington Entertainment, told Life!. F1 Rocks, last year’s big-scale music festival at Fort Canning Park, will not be held this time around.
The festival is on hiatus due to organisational changes but the musical offerings by Singapore GP within the circuit park have picked up the slack. It raised its entertainment budget from $4 million to $5 million this year. This includes $600,000 for the imported main stage that is larger than a basketball court, and where headliners will perform.
The stage, which the organisers say is possibly the largest makeshift stage ever constructed here, is accessible to all ticket-holders and is expected to draw 30,000 fans.

Mariah Carey may or may not be pregnant, but one thing’s for sure, she will be delivering a bundle of joy this holiday season. The sequel to the pop songbird’s Christmas album has been given an official title and due date.
Rap-Up.com has exclusively learned that Mimi’s upcoming holiday project will be called Merry Christmas II You. The II represents the follow-up to 1994’s multi-platinum Merry Christmas album, which spawned the now-classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The new offering is scheduled for a November 2 release and will include original material as well as covers of holiday classics.
An accompanying DVD will also be released the same day, but there are currently no details on what exactly it will contain. The packaging was shot in the spring by famed photographer David LaChapelle and features a festive setting with fake snow, tinsel, and wooden reindeers.
Mariah’s manager Chris Lighty tweeted that she is working with the Home Shopping Network (HSN) to promote the project, which is guaranteed to be the perfect stocking stuffer.

Nick Cannon says wife Mariah Carey, 41, isn’t so much “superstitious” about her rumored pregnancy, as she told Showbiz 411 last week.
“I think it’s more of a spiritual thing,” Cannon, 29, told UsMagazine.com at Sunday’s Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day at the U.S. Open. “Like trying to stay true and stay private for as long as you possibly can. She wants to keep as much privacy as she possibly can.”
“When the time is right, everyone will know,” Mariah said in her message.
Nick told Us that she is “working” on an album in L.A. and feeling “good.”
Would Cannon welcome twins? “Yeah! Octomom. Nine kids at once,” he joked. “Whatever happens, whatever life God blesses you with, you have to take it and appreciate it.”

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for two pop divas…again. Mariah Carey and Jessica Simpson are both planning on releasing their second holiday albums this year.
Mariah is releasing her first holiday album since 1994’s “Merry Christmas,” which has been certified 5x platinum in the U.S. Carey, who created a modern yuletide classic in “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” is set to feature a remix of the track on her upcoming album, which is set to feature both original songs and covers.
Carey is teaming up with her former musical director and “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson on the project, who also produced one of her most underrated album tracks “Subtle Invitation” off 2003’s “Charmbracelet.” She’s also working with Broadway composer Marc Shaiman, who helped bring the music of “Hairspray” and the upcoming “Catch Me If You Can” to the stage.
Jessica Simpson is also set to release her second holiday collection. Her first, “Rejoyce: The Christmas Album,” made much less of an impact than Carey’s. It was originally released as a 7-Eleven exclusive EP (yes, that 7-Eleven), and later fleshed out to a fuller album. It featured duets with then-husband Nick Lachey and sister Ashlee Simpson.
“Rejoyce,” Simpson’s best-selling album since 2003’s “In This Skin,” featured covers of songs like “O Holy Night” and “What Christmas Means To Me” and an original Simpson co-write, “It’s Christmas Time Again.” Simpson is currently in the studio recording the new album, on the fast-track to hit shelves before December.
Carey and Simpson aren’t the only divas feeling the holiday spirit this year. Katharine McPhee is following up her sophomore effort “Unbroken” with her first seasonal collection. Tentatively titled “Christmas Is the Time…To Say I Love You,” McPhee’s album is set to feature an original self-written ballad along with classic covers. Check out her “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” cover, released last year, for a taste.
Although not confirmed, Susan Boyle is reportedly readying a holiday album to follow-up last year’s smash “I Dreamed a Dream” album. Annie Lennox is also set to release her first holiday collection, “A Christmas Cornucopia,” this fall.

As pregnancy speculation swirls, Nick Cannon will only confirm this – he’s ready to have a baby with wife Mariah Carey.
“She’s very nurturing,” Cannon, 29, told PEOPLE at the US Open’s Arthur Ashe Kids Day event in New York Saturday. “She’s nurturing with me and makes me breakfast at anytime and that’s my favorite food. It would be like 3 o’clock in the morning and she will still make me waffles. She’ll be the best mom.”
If Cannon does become a father, he plans to learn from his own parents. “I want to raise a child like the way I was brought up,” he says. “Be someone who is stern but still fun loving and knows how to have a good time.”
When asked if he would prefer to have a girl or a boy, the host of America’s Got Talent says he “just wants something that is healthy” but is a little nervous on how to approach certain situations associated with a boy and girl.
“It’s great to have a girl until she turns into a teenager. Then you have to worry about every other boy in the neighborhood and that would freak me out,” he says. “With a boy, I’d be worrying about him breaking his arms and his legs. I was that type of kid. I was a daredevil so I’d be having to worry about that.”

The lovely Tahiana from Mariah Connection Brazil had her review of Mariah’s show in Brazil published on MariahCarey.Com earlier this week:
The excitement for the much anticipated Mariah Carey concert in Brazil started a couple of months ago when it was first confirmed that she would perform at Festa do Peão de Barretos. We knew the venue was very far but we all knew we would be there no matter what.
MC arrived in Brazil on Thursday, August 19th, and the lambs were already waiting for her divided between the airport and the door of the hotel where she would stay. I personally went to the hotel door and watched the number of fans grow each minute. It was so cool to meet so many people I knew online but that I had never personally met before. There were fans that had flown for 6 or 7 hours to be there and lots of lambs from all over the country, paying a tribute to Mariah and making sure to support her on her first full concert in the country.
On Thursday MC already was a trending topic for twitter in Brazil and she didn’t leave that spot anymore: she’s still there on Monday, August 23rd! The whole country had her eyes on the Diva and the Brazilian lambs were celebrating their emancipation!
On Friday everyone was gathered together at the hotel door again, we spent all day having a lot of fun, singing to Mariah’s songs and basically having a very festive moment. There was even champagne to celebrate! We knew MC was tired and that she couldn’t come down but we were there together. To warm things up, we did a draw to give away some cool goods like signed albums, DVDs etc (all thanks to mariahcarey.com).
By the end of the night, after many performances by some fans, we all started leaving because Barretos was 6 hours away from São Paulo, where MC was staying, and many wanted a good place on the line to get into the arena.
Saturday, August 21st, should be known as the day of our lives. I can speak for all Brazilian fans, for sure. I went to Barretos in a group of 4 buses with over 160 fans total, signing, watching DVDs and dreaming about what would soon come true.
At Barretos more and more fans were together. There was literally people from every each state of the country to see Mariah and it couldn’t be different! Everywhere I looked I saw my fellow friends crying and getting emotional after they walked into the arena. That place was full and eager to see our MCC!!!
The concert started at 1:26 AM with Daydream Interlude. Now I haven’t seen a group of so many people singing this intro in any other concert! From there you could already tell what a great night it would be! The stage was beautiful with all visual effects and butterflies on the screens. It was a must remember!
After Butterfly Intro / Daydream Interlude, Shake it Off started and a very excited “Como vai???” (What’s up????) was heard coming from Mariah. I must say I cried at this song, I know, I knoooow this isn’t a song you cry about but it was the first full song of the concert and it was impossible not to get emotional.
After SIO Mariah asked if we liked her ensemble and explained she wanted a very festive ensemble “Who was on twitter earlier? I was trying to explain that I wanted to be here on time but maybe because of the language barrier people thought I was saying something bad! How are you feeling? I am talking too much so I will stop because I don’t know if you understand as we don’t speak the same language”. We sure understood, Mimi and I think you knew it because you started speaking again and we just loved the stage conversation! “My gloves got stuck in this mic, see, this is my new thing”.
Touch My Body started and was a real excitement because not only the fans but all the crowd knew that song and sang it out loud. You could tell the power MCC has in Brazil, unforgettable.
“See, I have this princess outfit on because you make me feel like a queen!!!! Was the tiara over the top?” No!!!! Mariah is really our queen and we were delighted to see she knew that! “Now we will sing a song from the Butterfly album” - My All started and it was an amazing redemption of the song, delivered like no one else could: she sang it full of emotion, with all her soul and voice in it. A performance to remember!
Mariah then went to the back of the stage to change the ensemble and came back with Always by my baby. The crowd was singing “do do do dop / do do doop do doop da dum” much before M’s entrance and that caused a little confusion on the begining of the song. Once again, it was an amazing performance with the fans singing at the top of their lungs and Mariah Said “Do you know this song? I think you do, I heard you singing in front of the hotel. If you know this song sing along with me, If you know this song sing along with me” (that last part was being sang by her). With a short sparkling dress MCC looked stunning!
It’s like that was a mark for the fans as it represented the spirit of the night for all of us: making the most of our lives! This was truly the moment we had been waiting for many years and it was happening right there in front of us.
“I wanted to know what you wanted me to sing so I used my favorite thing on Earth…the Internet! I was surprised that you chose this song and I haven’t sang it in a very long time but we’ll do it for you tonight.” Mariah explained that the song was originally recorded by Brenda K. Starr and that she loved her and said “we like singing back up” when she explained about how she was a back up singer for Brenda before. The crowd went crazy: the Brazilian fans had been discussing online what song they would like to see in this concert and “I Still Believe” was the chosen one at Brazil’s biggest social network. Mariah heard about that and delivered an a-m-a-z-i-n-g performance of “I Still Believe” while the fans were in a mix of tears and trying to sing together. It’s one of those moments one can’t ignore, a lot of soul and emotion was in the air.
Then came along Heartbreaker / Love Hangover, Dreamlover and I’ll Be There with the wonderful Trey Lorenz, which she dedicated to Michael Jackson. MCC left the stage with Trey singing “Rock With You”, a great performance by him that we just loved!
“Make it Happen” was playing with the dancers doing a presentation and suddenly the whole crowd was signing the song from the start, even without MCC on stage. Every one of the lyrics was out loud in that stadium until M walked in a new outfit: shorts and a long t-shirt saying “If you like fun you’ll Love me”. She finished the song together with us and it was a lot of emotion: she had finally made it happen for all of us!
“Obsessed” and “We Belong Together” were the following ones with a very excited crowd singing along as not only the hard core fans knew those two but the whole country.
Mariah started out “Hero” dedicating this song to everyone who has ever been through a hard situation and the fans had prepared a surprise for her: we all blew white balloons and put them up - a sea of white balloons was formed making a beautiful effect! You could see the back up singers with tears in their eyes and everyone united in one voice, in front of their life hero!
Butterfly outro started playing and a mixed feeling of happiness and emptiness got us. Soon after it Mariah walked back on stage: “I want to do this song tonight…27 consecutive weeks as #1 song thanks to you! God bless you! This is for you BRAZIL”. “I Want to Know What Love Is” was sang not only by Mariah but over 30 thousand people who were in the arena. It was the perfect wrap for such an amazing night!
The concert finished after 1:20 hours with the happier lambs on Earth thrilled! We just hugged each other for so long and we couldn’t even talk for a long time!!!
In name of all Brazilian fans I want to thank Mariah and her crew for making this happen for us! This has been a lifetime dream and you guys were able to do it for us and do it amazingly! We will always be thankful! We love you so very much and appreciate all the efforts put into this! And we’re here waiting…any time, all the time!

After a report surfaced on Wednesday claiming that Mariah Carey was four months pregnant, husband Nick Cannon continued to dodge questions about a possible baby when Access Hollywood caught up with him on Wednesday.
“When she’s ready to say whatever she wants to say, she’ll say it,” Nick told Access backstage at “America’s Got Talent” on Wednesday night when asked about his wife. “She’s like, appreciating all the love that’s coming out… from everywhere, but it’s just like when she’s ready to talk she’ll talk.”
As for his desire to be a dad, Nick has his sights on increasing the Cannon-Carey brood.
“That’s the purpose of having a union and getting married is to have a family,” Nick told Access. “Right now, her and I are family, but of course we would love to expand.”
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, according to Radar Online, Mariah is four months pregnant. One Radar source claimed that Nick has been sharing the news only with close friends.
As of Thursday morning, a rep for Mariah was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood.
Mariah stirred speculation by appearing very pregnant on stage in Brazil this past weekend.
