Carey wants 'tasteful' kid pix
Mariah Carey is shopping shots of her newborn twins, Moroccan Scott and Monroe, but the pop star will have trouble getting the millions she initially wanted for them, sources say.
Multiple mags including People and OK! are jockeying for the photos of the 7-week-old twin boy and girl, which will likely fetch a more modest $200,000.
But sources close to Carey and husband, "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon, say the couple is more concerned with how tastefully the shots are presented than any giant price tag.
"Mariah and Nick are more concerned with doing the right thing than going to the highest bidder," said a source close to the couple. "They're talking to a number of publications about doing it in the best and most tasteful way. Nick has said on radio he doesn't feel entirely comfortable selling pictures of his children. But the first picture remains very valuable to the paparazzi."
Carey has already landed a few covers with her long wished-for pregnancy. She did a "My Baby Miracle" interview with Us Weekly in November. She then posed naked while pregnant on the cover of Life & Style in April, prompting Cannon to joke on his radio show, "My children are going to have to see these pictures... It's a little weird."
The twins were born in an LA hospital on April 30 but have not yet been seen in public. "She is still deciding when and if she's going to [do the pictures]," said a rep for Carey. "She is enjoying being a mom, and there's no rush. It's not about the money."
Sources say Carey had hoped at first to get much more for the photos, possibly rivaling the most expensive of all time. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got a reported $14 million for Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline in 2008, although it went to charity.
But, "There's not much movement going on right now," said a source. "Everyone wants them, and everyone is putting in offers. But times and budgets have changed from the Brangie baby years."

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: Mariah Carey Remixes Her Sweet New Scents
Mariah Carey found sweet success with her last fragrance, Lollipop Bling, which was inspired by hubby Nick Cannon’s delicious wedding proposal. And now, the new mama is sating her sweet tooth again with another addition to her Elizabeth Arden fragrance franchise. Called Lollipop Splash the Remix, the trio of new scents shows off Carey’s fun-loving personality and features hand-picked ingredients that express the singer’s playful side. There’s Inseparable, which contains notes of raspberry, mango, jasmine and orange flowers; Never Forget You, which has wafts of gourmet jelly beans and golden peony; and Vision of Love, inspired by French macaroon and purple jasmine. (All are named for Carey songs.) “We strive to create fragrances that give people the ability to connect with Mariah on a more personal level, just as they do with her music,” perfumer Marypierre Julien said in a statement. “To create Mariah Carey’s Lollipop Splash the Remix, we worked with Mariah and used her music as an inspiration to craft scents that are like floral melodies.” The fragrances, each topped with Carey’s signature butterfly and priced at $35 each, will hit department stores in July.Source:Stylewatch
Sony Music: Doug Morris Arrives July 5th, L.A. Reid Follows & Possibly Mariah Too
Doug Morris won’t officially take over at Sony Music until July 5th even though his contract says July 1st. This has to do with prior commitments for the July 4th vacation. Then, just as I told you on March 16th, L.A. Reid follows and joins Morris to run Epic Records. Right now Reid off with the “X Factor” crew judging contestants.
Meanwhile, elsewhere at Sony, Peter Edge is expected to run the RCA end of things, while Tom Corson still presides at the company. Basically, Universal and Sony have swapped staffs, with RCA-J-Arista’s Larry Jackson having already moved to Interscope. What fun! Artists will go back and forth.
It’s expected that Mariah Carey, upon releasing her last album at Universal, will head back to Sony with Reid. There, she can rejoin her old catalog, Confusing? Sure. That’s why we love it! And meanwhile, Sony has the lead in the race between the two companies with Adele being the hit of the year. And yes, maybe, Sylvia Rhone will turn up somewhere at Sony after leaving Universal Motown recently. It’s all in the game, as Tommy Edwards once put it so succinctly. Meanwhile, no one says a word about Rick Rubin.

Mariah Carey to Launch Lollipop Splash Remix
Mariah Carey is remixing her fragrance collection with Lollipop Splash the Remix, a trio of limited edition scents set for a July launch.The collection is a flanker effort to Carey's Lollipop Bling trio, which launched last July as a strategic partnership with Elizabeth Arden Inc. and Bazooka Candy Brands, a division of Topps Co. Inc. That partnership has since ended. Carey has been launching scents with Arden since 2007. Each scent in the new collection — Inseparable, Never Forget You and Vision of Love — is named for a Carey hit.
"Mariah is always reinterpreting and mixing her music, keeping her brand relevant," said Marcy Fisher, vice president, North America fragrance marketing at Elizabeth Arden. "She wanted to have the same effect with her fragrances, so she decided with this project to approach it from that perspective."
Inseparable, in a pink bottle with Carey's signature butterfly, has notes of raspberry, mango, pear, jasmine and orange flower; Never Forget You, in an orange-tinted version, features notes of jelly beans and golden peony, and Vision of Love's notes include French macaroon and purple jasmine. It is in a purple bottle.
"The fun notes are intended to demonstrate that fragrance shouldn't be so serious," said Fisher of the playful notes like jelly beans and macaroon.
Clement Gavarry of International Flavors & Fragrances developed Inseparable, while Givaudan's Claude Dir and Marypierre Julien did Vision of Love and Never Forget You. Each eau de parfum is one ounce and will retail for $35, exactly the same pricing as Honey, Mine Again and Ribbon, the three scents in the Lollipop Bling trio.
The scent trio will be carried at about 2,300 department store doors, and will be supported with national advertising this fall, as well as with a digital and in-store campaign, which will be rolled out at launch.
"Mariah's fans really love the digital aspects of her projects, so that will be a focus," said Fisher. "Also, the bright colors of the bottles really pop on counter, so we're planning an in-store presentation designed to emphasize that." Vials on card and scented stickers will be among the vehicles used for sampling, she said.
While Fisher declined to comment on projected sales for the trio, industry sources estimated that they could generate retail sales of $8 million to $10 million combined.
