Mariah Carey will be great in Tennessee

Although her 2001 movie Glitter crashed and burned, pop diva Mariah Carey is taking another stab at the screen reports People Magazine..
Mariah, 35, who was once named the third worst rock star/actor of all time, will
start shooting Tennessee in New Mexico and Tennessee this spring reports Variety. Earlier this month, it was claimed the curvy songstress - who also appeared
in 2002's 'WiseGirls' with actress Mira Sorvino - insists on having popcorn
in her dressing room before she performs.
The star, who is famed for her outlandish backstage demands, reportedly
requests that bags of the sweet snack are available for her to much on
before and after her shows.
A source close to her said: "When she was promoting her last single in the
UK, she asked for Butterkist toffee popcorn in her dressing room."

"I never saw Glitter, but I liked her work in the other film," says Tennessee (and Monster's Ball) producer Lee Daniels, referring to Carey's 2002 movie WiseGirls.

In Tennessee, Carey plays a waitress who journeys with her two brothers to find their estranged father – and get him to help save their younger brother, who has leukemia.

"Because this character is interracial and struggles with all sorts of issues because of that, I thought she was perfect," says Daniels.
