Exclusive: Angels Advocate Album Update

After a few false starts, Mariah Carey’s Angels Advocate has been permanently grounded. Instead of releasing the star-studded remix album, the pop diva has turned her focus toward a new studio project.

The ill-fated collection of remixes from last year’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel had most recently been set for a March 30 release exclusively at Target stores and iTunes. It was to feature contributions from Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, and Ludacris, among others.

According to Mariah Daily, select singles may be released from the shelved album. “It won’t go to waste,” assures Carey’s management. Two singles, “Up Out My Face” featuring Nicki Minaj and the Ne-Yo-assisted “Angels Cry” have already been sent to iTunes, while several other tracks have leaked.

But have no fear, lambs. The songbird is already planning her next move. “We are looking to go possibly to another studio album or Christmas album,” says the source. “The decision hasn’t been totally made yet. It’s a creative process that cannot be rushed.”

Nick Reveals Mariah's "Big Surprise"

Mariah Carey sure knows how to stir the pot.

The 39-year-old diva sent bloggers into a frenzy when she teased on the Oscars red carpet that she has "something special on the way." Of course that means she's preggers, right?

We caught up with Carey's other half, Nick Cannon, who let us in on a little secret...

"It's funny because the big surprise has to do with Home Shopping Network or something like that," Cannon revealed at the Stars & Strikes Fundraiser supporting APCH at PINZ in Studio City. "She has a new product coming out. It has nothing to do with kids."

Mimi may not have a bun in the oven just yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen soon. "We would have a beautiful baby, wouldn't we?" Cannon said. "We're laying the foundation right now. We just got a home out here and all that stuff, and Mariah just came off tour, so we'll see what happens."

In the meantime, the sexy songbird and her hubby are just enjoying married life. "What people don't understand is Mariah has the funniest sense of humor ever," Cannon gushed. "She's hilarious. We always have a good time."

Mariah and Nick Talk Fashion On Oscar Red Carpet

For her role as social worker Miss Weiss in the Academy Award-nominated film "Precious," Mariah Carey underwent a drastic make-under, sporting a mustache, mousey tresses and dowdy clothes that left the otherwise-glamorous singer nearly unrecognizable.

But, as any red-carpet-watcher would expect, Carey was nothing short of stunning when MTV News caught up with her and husband Nick Cannon at the Academy Awards, where the two joked about getting dressed for the big night.

"Of course, she tells me what she's going to wear, and I go pull something out of the laundry hamper and iron it and put it on," Cannon joked. "But she's fabulous."

"He doesn't hardly iron a thing," Carey laughed.

"Yeah, I don't know how to iron," Cannon admitted. "I'm surprised this isn't wrinkled now."

Carey's purple gown clearly didn't come out of a dirty-clothes hamper, but instead of trying on a slew of dresses from different designers, Carey streamlined her wardrobe-selection process by working directly with Valentino.

"We worked with them and did a lot of different sketches and stuff. We just thought it would be a nice moment, a leg moment for a different thing," Carey said, good-naturedly referencing her frequently exposed décolletage.

"What if I had my leg out?" Nick asked.
"You could start a new trend," Carey said.
"What if I had a split from the top of my pants?"
"You do you, man," she said. "That's why I love you."
