Mariah Carey’s Hot Tub Debut

Mariah Carey debuted her new album to friends in a hot tub.

The singer, who has been busy working on her first new material since 2005's 'The Emancipation Of Mimi', decided to test the water by playing it to her girlfriends as they soaked together.

She said: "I sat in the hot tub the other night playing some songs for some friends and one of them felt it was a very pro-woman kind of thing. And I was like, 'You know what, I didn't do that intentionally.' But she felt that it was a very empowered-woman moment."

Although Mariah's pals thought the tracks were promoting girl power, she is adamant the LP is not anti-men.

The pop superstar - who has had a colorful love life, including a turbulent marriage to record boss Tommy Mottola and a brief fling with rapper Eminem - explained: "It's not that the songs are male-bashing. It's a fun record. I'm writing with a lot of different people, mainly rappers, and I bring something to the table they don't and vice-versa."

Mariah, 39, feels blessed she is able to sing for a living, and insists she never takes her music career for granted.

She told Interview magazine: "To me, to be able to do what I love for a living is a gift from God. I could be doing something I hate every day, but luckily I'm not."



Mariah sleeps 15 hours a day in a controlled environment to keep her vocal cords in check.

Make Her Pay

Kevin Federline wants Britney Spears to pay the legal fees in their custody
battle.

The aspiring rapper - locked in a bitter fight for sons Sean Preston,
23-months and Jayden James, 11-months – has launched allegations of child
abuse against his ex-wife and wants her to foot the bill for all legal costs
involved in his action.

Court documents released yesterday reveal Federline’s lawyer Mark
Vincent Kaplan believes Spears should pay $50,000 for Federline's litigation
expenses as she is "clearly the monied party".



Kaplan said in a court declaration on August 26 that while Spears earns an
average of $737,868 a month, Federline has "no net income" after various
expenses, and his monthly spousal support of $20,000 ends in November.

The court documents revealed that in his bid to win primary physical custody
of their sons Federline’s legal team have subpoenaed several of Spears’
former and current employees to give evidence against her.

Among those already served with subpoena’s are the singer’s "designated
sober companion" Dr. Betty Wyman, former nanny Christine Hallet, former
assistant Shannon Funk, bodyguard Daimon Shippen and cousin Alli Sims.

Spears' former manager, Larry Rudolph – who has been avoiding Federline’s
lawyers in an attempt to stay out of the legal battle – was finally served
with a subpoena during a visit to a Los Angeles tanning salon yesterday.

The ‘Toxic’ singer’s lawyer attorney Laura Wasser has asked for a
continuance on the custody case to give both parties more time to "conduct
and complete their discovery."

A decision on this request will be made in court on September 4.



K-fed has a good chance. Meanwhile according to the NYDN Britney plans to appear Sept. 9 on the MTV Video Music Awards, where "Mindfreak" magician Criss Angel will use his best illusions to try to conjure up a comeback for her.

Angel will guide Spears in and out of a series of mirrors, making it seem as though she vanishes and then reappears several times.

Other dancers in the complicated number are being called upon to harness up for simulated flight, the source said.
