Mariah working with WESTLIFE again

[POP!]

Megastar Mariah Carey is teaming up with Westlife again for an exclusive single. She told me the secret after I was the only journalist to be given an XS All Areas pass when the world's biggest selling female singer arrived in town this week.

In our eXSclusive chat she revealed she can't wait to work with Kian, Nicky, Mark and Shane again. Mariah said: "They're very exciting artists and I love them."

She last worked with the lads in 2000, and Against All Odds topped the charts. But this time the record will only be released in Britain. "I want it to be the next single here and different to the rest of the world," she said. "I can't wait to do it."

Mariah, 39, was in London to switch on the Christmas lights at the Westfield Shopping Centre. She invited me backstage for a chat, and I can tell you the 20 white kittens and 100 white doves that she'd been rumoured to have demanded were nowhere to be seen.

In fact, the diva's area was quite modest - she even had to use a portaloo while she signed autographs for hours (though it was a luxury one with pink walls and a heater).

"This diva tag is never going to go away but it doesn't bother me anymore," Mariah said. And setting the record straight she added: "I didn't ask for anything."

Mariah performs new single I Want To Know What Love Is on tonight's X Factor from new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.

She better get a proper hit out of this

[Donna Winter]

VERY EXCITING ARTISTS indeed

We all know she's LOOPY but that really TAKES THE CUPCAKE

[Suedehead]

What a VAPID WOMAN

How does she have fans?

[Rachey]

This is probably my only post in this forum but I was DRAWN IN by the Westlife title.

YAY.

Im not a Mariah fan but WHO CARES.

[jivafox]

very exciting artists

OH MAZ

[lolly]

Reading article gave me RIGOR MORTIS

FUCK KNOWS how shit the output will be

[POP!]

This almost goes without saying but I'm assuming it will be yet another obvious cover if "IWTKWLI" ends up being a hit.

[Jark]

At least it will get her a UK hit and if it's tacked on to a Memoirs re-release then I'm ALL FOR IT

[Loufoque]

Can't wait for this bitch to have THREE #1s over THREE DECADES

MEGASTAR

[Halli]

Hasn't she been 39 for the last couple of years?

Anyway, if she gets a hit then GO FOR IT

[Pipo]

WOW she truly is a MASSIVE cunt and a publicity whore.

Get that #1 MIMI.

I hope they rework a MEMOIRS track.

My vote goes out for either "Up out my face BOI" or "Ribbon" while she exchanges verses with Shane as he reveals his hairy chest

[POP!]

What a chart run it will be

01-10-37-74-OUT

I can hardly wait

[delirium]

It's like the sequel to the worst horror movie ever made

[Dark Carnival]

God save us all

[Agnetha]

In fact, the diva's area was quite modest

[Ekkostar]

Well that confirms it, history is repeating itself like a paradox ripple in Mariah's world and Memoirs is officially Rainbow '09.

[Loufoque]

ROLL ON 2011 IN THAT CASE

[Logic?]

The song is apparently called 'Call Me Now'.

[Sheena]

BRILLIANT!

"I want it to be a UK EXCLUSIVE"

In other words, you are DESPERATE FOR A HIT over here because no one really GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOU, YOU FUCKING FAT DOG and you don't want to have to SHARE THE ROYALTIES anywhere else...
