Mariah Carey to film music video on Oahu

June 8, 2008: Mariah Carey had a busy day. After keeping her production crew waiting some four hours Sunday she finally arrived in Portlock from the Paul MItchell Estate in Lanikai to shoot a portion of her music video at the cliffside home of Rob Burns who founded the surf company Local Motion.
Problem is Carey had a personal trailer waiting for her at the elementary school in Koko Head where she was to have her hair, makeup and costuming done. The diva's makeup and costumes had to be driven to the cliffside location where she was made up. Filming was completed around sunset and Carey was whisked back to Lanikai where she partied with friends until around 11 p.m. She then was driven to Hawaiian Adventures Water Park for more filming. That shoot lasted to 5 a.m.
Today's filming is also at night but at Sea Life Park. If the video is not completed today Carey and accompany will return to SLP tomorrow. Husband Nick Cannon, who arrived Saturday evening, stopped by Tiffany's in Waikiki in a limousine and with a bodyguard on his way to Lanikai to buy his bride some jewelry.
For her music video Carey is singing "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" from the album E=MC2 CD. Notable security company Private Security owned by Charlie Long has had three guards protecting Carey and company during the shoot. Private Security also is doing security for the Into the Blue 2 DVD film and Warner Bros. feature The Informant starring Matt Damon. The couple have settled into the Kahala Resort for a few days.

June 10, 2008: Mariah Carey pulled another all nighter last night at Sea Life Park where she filmed the remainder of her music video until about 4 a.m. The diva arrived just before 5 p.m. in a white gown. Park security made a sweep of the grounds to make sure visitors were out of the park at the 5 p.m. closing time. Despite the security someone caught most of the filming on a hand held HD camera.
Part of the video has Carey on the small island in the dolphin pool. Now that the filming is over Carey and her husband Nick Cannon are enjoying a brief honeymoon at the Kahala Resort. For her music video Carey is singing "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" from the album E=MC2 CD.
