Carey being courted
Mariah Carey, seeking a career rebound after the flops of her debut movie and its soundtrack album, is negotiating with new record companies. Two of Warner Music Group's labels, Elektra and Warner Bros. Records, are among the companies that have made offers, the Associated Press reported Friday, citing unidentified sources familiar with the talks. Universal Music Group's label Island Def Jam also is interested, the AP said.
Warner executives would not comment. Calls to Universal were not returned. Carey's attorney, Donald Passman, said he could not comment on negotiations until a deal was finalized. Carey agreed in January to end a $100-million contract with Virgin Records with a $49-million payout after the weak debut of her musical drama Glitter and its accompanying soundtrack.
