Mariah's Record Flops...Nick's On Top

Word on the curb is Def Jam is pulling the plug on promoting Mariah Carey's latest album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel, because it's only sold about 344,000 copies (which is pretty low on the Mariah mega-album scale).  Instead, a bunch of remixes will be released next year with 4 new songs.  Damn.  It's cold out there, ain't it?  Carey still plans to go on tour at the end of the month though.  Won't that be fun...watching her tip-toe around the stage in tight get-ups doing that breathy-singing thing she does?

Well, at least Nick Cannon has 50-11 jobs. His recently-launched company NCredible Entertainment has offices in NYC and LA so he can work on a slew of TV and radio projects. Mr. Carey Cannon is working on shows for TeenNick and MTV and a puppet show for Adult Swim. He's also launching a morning radio show on WXRK-FM in New York (92.3 Now) next month.

Clearly, somebody is planning for the day when the checks stop coming in.

I ain't mad at his hustle. At.all.

Watch your back Seacrest.
