Mariah Carey: Bumped from watercooler

Los Angeles, CA -- Pop diva Mariah Carey is said to be extremely upset that no one is talking about the births of her twins this weekend because of the announcement that Osama bin Laden has been killed by a U.S. military operation in Pakistan.

The death of bin Laden, which was confirmed by an official statement from U.S. President Barack Obama late Sunday night, immediately became a trending topic on Twitter and set the entire blogosphere ablaze with discourses on its significance and effect on the ongoing war against terrorism.

An anonymous source close to Carey said the "We Belong Together" singer was visibly miffed after hearing about bin Laden's death, which many people consider to be a historic moment and likely to seal Obama's second term in office.

"Mariah's delivery of her babies was supposed to be what everyone's talking about around the watercooler on Monday, but instead it's all about bin Laden," said the source. "This is 2001 all over again."

In 2001, the release of Carey's album, "Glitter," was largely ignored by the masses because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks orchestrated by bin Laden. The album subsequently flopped and resulted in a career slump for the singer.

"Mariah just can't catch a break with this bin Laden guy," the source added. "They seem to be metaphysically connected somehow."

Carey's representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the births of the twins - a girl and a boy - to The Associated Press. The singer gave birth Saturday (Apr. 30) at 12:07 p.m. EDT at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Berger said the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.

Berger said Carey is already eager to work on a new album, which is expected to focus on the trials and hardships of motherhood.

Morvan: Girl you know it's real

Los Angeles, CA -- The vocals on Michael Jackson's new single, "Breaking News," are without a doubt the King of Pop's, according to the surviving member of multi-platinum-selling 80s pop duo Milli Vanilli.

Fab Morvan, 44, came forward with his unequivocal support of the song in the wake of mixed public reaction since its online debut Sunday. Morvan said he knows "exactly what it feels like to have your blood, sweat and tears questioned and publicly torn apart" and strongly felt the need to make his feelings known.

"I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson's music, and for his legacy to be subjected to this sort of doubt and second-guessing is just beyond unfathomable," said Morvan.

According to Nielsen BDS, 151 U.S. stations sampled "Breaking News" yesterday on formats ranging from pop and R&B/hip-hop to adult, rock and oldies. The song received 246 plays in its first day of availability and reached an estimated 2.2 million listeners. "Breaking News" is the lead-off single from "Michael," the album of reportedly all-new material set for release next month.

A majority of radio program directors across the nation reported listener reaction to be extremely mixed, with a great number calling in to either question the song's authenticity, or express their disappointment over its "unfinished quality."

Even the late pop singer's family members have come forward to cast doubt on the authenticity of the entire project.

"Deceptively merging shady vocals with MJ samples (from prior MJ records) will never fool me," TJ Jackson, the son of Michael's brother Tito Jackson, wrote on Twitter. "I'm disgusted, disappointed and saddened."

LaToya Jackson also appeared to question whether the voice is really her brother's, telling TMZ, "I listened to it ... It doesn't sound like him."

Morvan implored everyone to "just sit down and enjoy the music and bask in the glory of Michael's creativity."

"We should thank our lucky stars above that we are able to experience Michael's music even after his passing," added Morvan. "If you love his music, that's all that matters."
