Mariah Carey’s performance of “Obsessed” for the results show of America’s Got Talent aired on on NBC last night! As you all know I love myself some Mimi so I’m going to spare you the details about how much I love her but I will however highlight that she’s literally glowing with happiness. Whatever Nick is doing, it’s obviously working! In other Mariah news, “Obsessed” rises to #14 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Mariah Carey makes her 29th appearance on the Pop Songs/Mainstream Top 40 radio chart as “Obsessed” debuts at No. 39. The arrival extends her lead for the most overall chart entries in the tally’s nearly 17-year history. Go Mimi!

UPDATE: Britney Spears will NOT be performing, only appearing. According to her rep there was a miscommunication between the Teen Choice show reps and the Spears camp.

Can you believe it? Britney Spears is scheduled to perform at this years Teen Choice Awards (she’s also scored 3 award nominations)! I honestly was starting to lose hope that we would ever see her perform at another awards show after the infamous “Gimme More” performance back in 2007. Even though she’s not quite the performer she used to be, I’m still super happy she’s back and I’m still rooting for her! The Teen Choice Awards airs next Monday at 8pm ET on FOX.

It saddens me to say that Paula Abdul will not be returning to American Idol this fall after she was unable to re-negotiate her contract with FOX. This comes after wide speculation that she would indeed not be returning to the show for the ninth season and would be replaced by judge Kara Dioguardi. Paula released the following statement via her Twitter:

“With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all …being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon … What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me … It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month … I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.”

I honestly can’t believe they let her go. Do you think Idol will be the same without her?

Someone snuck what appears to be a cellphone camera into the taping of Mariah’s upcoming performance on America’s Got Talent. The episode won’t air until August 5th, but if you’re dying to get a taste of what Mimi has to offer you can watch the full, yet blurry, performance after the jump! I’m going to save my final judgement until after the clip airs in HQ. CONTINUE READING
