Mariah Carey's nose "ate away" her face in her new movie. The "Hero" singer had to don prosthetic features for her role as a dowdy social worker in "Precious" but suffered an intense allergic reaction to the materials used to create it.

She said: "We tried to do a prosthetic nose but it started to make me break out so we had to rip it off."

Trudie Styler paid for her hairdresser to fly by private jet from New York to Washington. The environmental campaigner - who co-founded the Rainforest Foundation 20 years ago - has been blasted for shunning a regular flight or energy-saving Amtrak train when she and her entourage of eight, including stylist Antonio Prieto, traveled to the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

Mariah Carey's husband has called Eminem a "homophobic has-been." Nick Cannon is upset over the song "Bagpipes From Baghdad" on Eminem's latest album "Relapse," which suggests Mariah - who briefly dated the controversial rapper - should split up with him.

He wrote on his blog: "Not only has his music not evolved, but also homeboy is still obsessed with my wife. The same female that wouldn't let him get to second base from 8 years ago."

Mariah Carey and Tom Jones will each earn $1.5 million to open a new resort. The 39-year-old diva and the 68-year-old Welsh singer will each sing a one-hour set to open an exclusive £926 million [$1.4 million] development in Turkey - said to be the most expensive resort in Europe.

The Mardan Resort in Antalya is owned by Russian tycoon Telman Ismailov - who also once reportedly paid Jennifer Lopez $1.5 million to sing "Happy Birthday" to him - who is determined for the grand unveiling of his hotel to be a breathtaking affair.

Mariah Carey is suffering from insomnia. The singer is struggling to get to sleep at night and has taken to watching her husband Nick Cannon doze peacefully while she is wide awake.

She wrote on her Twitter page: "I just finished working out. Whooo! Quite naturally, 'its 5am and I still can't sleep'(sung like 'crybaby' from 'Rainbow' 99)lol Who's up?"
