Following the footsteps of her rival, Jennifer Lopez, songstress Mariah Carey is to launch her own jewelry line, Glamorized by Mariah Carey.

In a posting on her Web site, the butterfly singer says: "Hey Girls, I am so excited to share with you my new jewelry and accessory line," she wrote. "Wear it and you'll be a Hot Tamale."

Despite making a disastrous big screen debut in 2001's "Glitter" songbird Mariah Carey is set to take another stab at Hollywood stardom. She is to star in a new independent drama called, "Tennessee."

Variety reports the film tells the story of a waitress (Carey) who sets off with her two brothers - one of whom has leukemia - to find their estranged father.

To add to the category of "stars are weird," rumor has it that songbird Mariah Carey insists on having popcorn in her dressing room before she performs.

Popcorn seems like the last thing you'd want stuck in your throat before you perform, but again, stars are weird.

Hip-hop heads are buzzing about the hook up of comeback kid Mariah Carey and Dipset rapper Cam'ron. The pair was spotted at Bungalow 8 and hosted a party together at the Roxy in Los Angeles.

Mariah also appears to have a new piece of jewelry. She was seen wearing a Dipset chain and cruising in Cam'ron's blue Lamborghini - the same sports car that Cam almost got jacked for, and subsequently shot in the arm, while visiting the nation's capitol, Washington D.C. for Howard University's homecoming.

'King Kong' actor Jack Black is to host this years Nickelodeon's Kids'Choice Awards.

The star admits he can't wait to get behind the mic at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion on April 1, saying, "I'm super excited to because when you're doing a show for the kids, you can get extra crazy and loony. I have a lot of secret plans for when I host the awards, but I can tell you I'm going to bring the super-duper, freaky-deaky, ultra-clowny super dance! But that's all I'll say."

The 47-year-old singer - who was last year cleared of molesting children - is reportedly in talks with Vatican officials.

Father Guiseppe Moscati, of the Millennium Music Society, said: "Michael Jackson is very interested in this project. We shall see what happens."
