Mariah Carey has long carried the "diva" title, and she's got the cred and record sales to back it up. The best-selling female artist in music history has a reputation for lavish demands, and a British presenter who saw Carey in her studio is now documenting some of the singer's more outlandish requests, including her own custom toilet paper.

'Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire' is the movie everyone was talking about this weekend. After wowing the festival circuit earlier this year -- receiving a standing ovation at Cannes and being the first film ever to win the Audience awards at both Sundance and Toronto -- PopEater wondered if the film would live up to its Oscar buzz. We decided to asked our Facebook and Twitter fans what they really thought about the film. See what they said. >>

When you think of Christmas, chances are Mariah Carey's hit 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' pops into your head.

The modern day Holiday classic has been remixed by Joey Arbagey for its 15th anniversary. And you can it hear it on PopEater first.

The song was the first single of Carey's 1994 album, 'Merry Christmas.' Listen to the New Version

New Kid on the Block

Fresh from Long Island, Mariah Carey was just a newbie in 1990 when her a self-titled debut album, spurred on by the instant hit 'Vision of Love,' sailed up the charts. But while the emerging diva and one-time backup singer was a star with fans and critics, she was still the girl next door as far as her image was concerned. Here, she looks almost au natural in curly locks and an understated black dress.

Pretty in Pink

In 1991, with her second album 'Emotions' (Watch the title track's video!) cementing her reign on the charts, the five-octave diva started to take her fashion statements seriously. Here, she embraces her newfound sex-kitten style in a low-cut mini dress and sexy up-do.

Black and White and Gorgeous All Over

Frizz be gone! In 1996, Mariah truly embraced her superstar stature, straightening her trademark locks and taking a liking to elegant gowns, like this stylish Giorio Armani creation.

Leather Queen

In 1997, a newly-single Carey began expanding her musical palette by embracing hip-hop on her 'Butterfly' album. Her newly-found urban appeal starts to explain this ultra-tight black leather number, accented by her perfectly coiffed auburn locks. See her spread her wings in the 'Butterfly' video.

Ice Ice Baby

By 1999, the same year she dropped the 'Rainbow' CD, Mariah had hit on her classic look; the curve-hugging halter dress. Now recognized as the greatest diva of the decade, her choice of style was cleverly chosen, as it recalls the classic divas from an earlier age.

American Girl

Months after being hospitalized for what was widely reported as an emotional breakdown, Mariah emerged from a screening of her film 'Glitter' in Sept. 2001. Normally a glamour girl, Mariah opted for a subdued political top and jeans, showing her support for the victims of 9/11.

Busting Out

Showing off her dazzling figure, Carey picked up a Life Achievement Award from NYC radio station Z100 in a bikini top, hot pants and ...not much else. The year was 2003, and her current effort, 'Charmbracelet,' was getting panned by critics. Remember 'My Saving Grace'?

Grin and Bare It

The 2003 World Music Awards rewarded Carey with a Diamond Award for selling more than 150 albums worldwide. She, in turn, rewarded the international crowd with this revealing, plum-colored dress, accented by well-placed pasties.

She's Got Legs!

In 2004, Carey turned up the va-va-voom in this satin frock to celebrate the anniversary of Jay-Z's 40/40 Club. The two are old friends; the Jigga Man was one of the first rap artists Carey worked with on 1997's 'Butterfly.'

Free Mariah!

After years of struggling on the charts, 'The Emancipation of Mimi' marked Mariah's return to dominance, and ended 2005 as the year's high-selling CD. A pink wrap shirt, a favorite color of Mariah, is paired with short shorts for a performance celebrating her comeback. 'It's Like That'!

Red Carpet Perfection

Carey donned a black halter dress with a plunging neckline in curve-lovin' satin to wow her fans, and the cameras, at the 2006 Golden Globes. Long Island seems so far away.

Who: Serabee
Album: 'Serabee' EP
Video: 'Driving Me Stupid'
Hails From: Kiln, Miss.
For Fans Of: Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood

Why She's About to Pop: Hailing from the South, Serabee brings a soulful edge to pop music. The singer has been performing since the age of five, when she joined her father's touring band. Her father, a preacher, traveled with Serabee and the rest of the family around the country to play for church crowds. Serabee soon discovered the music of Aretha Franklin, Prince, Ray Charles and Steve Winwood, and they all influenced her own vocal style and attitude. In time, the singer developed her songwriting skills, and eventually penned Charlotte Church's 'Crazy Chick,' which became a big hit in the UK. Now, Serabee has recorded her own EP, filmed her first music video and is ready to introduce the world to her sound.

"I can't wait to get on the road," Serabee tells PopEater. "Playing music is my favorite thing, and it is so exciting to think about sharing mine with everyone." Check out Serabee's single, 'Driving Me Stupid,' and the rest of her debut EP, available on Nov. 10.

As Mariah Carey's career carries on, it seems she's getting more comfortable with her own body and showing more of it. Gone are the days of smothering dresses and button-up shirts, here are the days of head-scratchingly-short skirts and cut-out bathing suits. Mariah, who's now 40, took to the beach to shoot her latest video for 'H.A.T.E.U.,' and we think she looked lovely doing it. What say you?

During an appearance on 'Larry King Live,' Mariah Carey was asked by the 75-year-old talk show host about Rihanna, -- whose ex-boyfriend Chris Brown pleaded guilty to attacking her -- and King then pressed the singer if she had ever been abused.

"Abuse has several categories," Carey answered King. Watch Her Response

Oh, the trials and tribulations of high heels. Mariah Carey almost went face-first into Jay Leno's stage during a taping of his show on Monday night, thanks to some iffy footwork by the crooner. As Carey was making her way onto the stage, she tripped up and nearly fell forward, but somehow managed to stay upright.

Over the weekend, there was this little holiday called Halloween, where people typically get dressed up and trick-or-treat (if they are kids or parents) and party (if they are adults).

Of course, celebrities are no different. And the Girls on Pop decide to take them to task for their costumes. Find out what was said about Mariah Carey and her husband, Khloe Kardashian and hers, plus many more. Watch It

Since the untimely death of pop legend Michael Jackson, fans and artists alike have been searching for the best way to express their grief and one method is returned to again and again: through the music itself. Just yesterday, for instance, we told you about the new 'Thriller' cover by Frou Frou lead singer Imogen Heap. And with the release of the eagerly anticipated concert film 'This Is It', now seems like the perfect time for us to celebrate his legacy by unveiling our list of the greatest Michael Jackson covers of all time. We just ask that you remember one thing while listening to these songs: they're for dancing, not reading, so don't be afraid to get out of your chair. Video Compilation After the Jump!

From Angelina Jolie's maternal instinct to Madonna's desperate attempt to recapture her youth, PopEater Canada brings you the sartorial successes and big messes from the red carpets of Hollywood.

Tune in every week for the latest fashion faux pas and hurrahs.

Barbra Streisand out-diva'd Mariah Carey to score her ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard album chart. The 67-year-old legend moved 180,000 copies of 'Love Is the Answer' last week, easily besting Carey's latest by about 12,000 copies.

At 67, she is the second oldest living artist to top the charts, after Bob Dylan.

Mariah Carey doesn't go around proclaiming herself the Queen of Pop, but she would have good argument to do so. With 18 No. 1 songs on Billboard's Hot 100 to her credit, she is a lock to surpass the Beatles' record of 20 No. 1 to claim the title -- in fact Carey's the lone artist within striking distance. The only question is will the Fab Four's record tumble during the run of 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,' Mimi's just released CD.

Given Carey's aggressively happy marital union to 'America's Got Talent' host Nick Cannon, no one would be surprised if 'Memoirs' floated along on the puffy clouds of connubial bliss, one joyous paean to the glory of love after another. But they would be wrong. As much as 'Memoirs' celebrates the unexpected rapture she's found with Cannon, the collection mourns heartbreak in all its wrenching disguises.

Carey, who co-produced 'Memoirs' with Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, took time out on the 'Memoirs' release day to talk to PopEater about her surprising bedside reading material, cross dressing and her emotional message to those who feel the five-octave superstar needs to change her tune.
