Diva Mariah Carey is really taking her lil’ five minute role in Precious to the dome. For some strange reason MiMi thinks her life is interesting enough that she’s in talks about turning it into a musical. *Blank stare*

Mariah may act like she’s a missing a couple screws , but make no mistake she’s no dummy. The diva is aware that her acting skills aren’t Oscar worthy which is why she’s not sure about playing herself in the project.  A snitch says,

“Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her. Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.”

If “Glitter” was a blow to her acting career, she better take precaution with her next move. Lord knows she redeemed herself in “Precious”. Sounds like this musical is going to be packed with giggles, skin-tight mini dresses, and lots of butterflies. Realtalk, would you pay to see Mariah’s musical?

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! MELYSSA FORD SET FOR THEATRICAL DEBUT IN NEW PLAY http://str8nyc.com/2010/02/10/lights-camera-action-melyssa-ford-set-for-theatrical-debut-in-new-play/ http://str8nyc.com/2010/02/10/lights-camera-action-melyssa-ford-set-for-theatrical-debut-in-new-play/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:49:54 +0000 J'More http://str8nyc.com/?p=32943 Tweet

Video vixen Melyssa Ford is on a mission to eradicate the bad rep Karrine “Superhead” Steffans has given video chicks. Miss Ford is one vixen who has goals beyond letting every rapper in the music industry smash and dishing about her sexcapades in a tell-all. Having been featured in Chris Rock’s film “Good Hair“, her latest venture is a play titled “For Vixens Who Have Considered Homicide When the Video Became Too Much”. According to Melyssa, she was inspired by rapper Jim Jones’ “Hip-Hop Monologues”.

“When I saw Jim Jones play I was really inspired by it,” she told TeamYee.TV at the Belvedere Lounge in Miami during Superbowl weekend. “That night I had to meet the director/writer/producer of the play… and we created a theatrical experience based on my life.”

This sounds really interesting…can’t wait for opening night!

The legendary Run-DMC will be commemorated on stage in a new Broadway musical based on their rise to fame. Tom Cruise’s former producing partner Paula Wagner tells Variety,

“I feel their story lends itself perfectly to the stage. This project has been a passion of mine for some time and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with them.”
