Mariah Carey drops out of "For Colored Girls..."
Fans who have been looking forward to seeing Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson hit the big screen
together for Tyler Perry's film adaptation of Ntozake Shange's 1975 play "For Colored Girls
Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" will be disappointed to learn that the
flick is officially one diva short.
A rep for Carey confirmed to People.com that the singer decided not to appear in the flick this
week, following Perry's confirmation of the cast to MTV News in April. Her rep, Cindi Berger,
gave no concrete reason her departure but said, "I'm not at liberty to discuss her personal
life at this time."
Her dropping out of the film has many wondering if Carey is pregnant, a rumor that has been
following her around since she married Nick Cannon two years ago. That rumor has to date not
been confirmed.
Shooting for the film is expected to take place in New York City this summer, and the film
will hit theaters in late 2010 or early 2011. Earlier this year, Perry (and Janet Jackson)
listed the names of the women attached to the movie, which at the time included Carey. "It's
Janet, Mariah, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Jurnee Smollett, Kimberly Elise, Kerry
Washington, Loretta Devine, Anika Noni Rose... I don't want to forget anybody," Perry said.
"It's pretty incredible."
"For Colored Girls..." is based on a series of 20 poems about a woman who is identified with
a single color of the rainbow. The stories deal with a wide spectrum of topics including love,
abandonment, rape and abortion.
