Eric Benét "glitters" with Mariah Carey, Da Brat


Soul singer Eric Benét is the latest musician to be added to the cast of Mariah Carey's forthcoming rags-to-riches flick "All That Glitters," a project that is currently before the lens on location in Toronto. "Variety" reports that Benét, who previously had a small role in the WB series "For Your Love," won't have to stretch too much in his feature film acting debut, as he's set to play an R&B singer named Ceasar in "All That Glitters."
In addition to Carey and Benét, the Vondie Curtis-Hall-directed movie will also feature rapper Da Brat as Carey's best friend in the flick, which details the dramatic rise to fame of a young singer (Carey) from a foster home in the inner-city projects. "All That Glitters" is scheduled to film in Toronto and New York City through the end of September, and is tentatively set for release in March 2001.
In addition to the movie career, Benét is also working on his third solo album, the follow-up to his 1999 sophomore effort, "A Day In The Life," which has sold more than 752,000 copies, according to SoundScan.
