Mariah is exhausted
Mariah Carey entered a hospital Wednesday night for treatment of "extreme exhaustion", according to her record label. In a terse press release, Virgin Records suggested that the pace of filming two movies, "Glitter" and "Wise Girls", while completing the Glitter album, caused Carey to become exhausted.
Carey's current single, "Loverboy", jumped from #60 to #2 on this week's Billboard Hot 100, thanks to high sales. Before going on sale last week, the single had suffered from sluggish radio play. The Hot 100 is based on both sales and airplay. Glitter, her first album for Virgin, is due in stores August 30.
A Virgin spokesperson declined to provide any more details on Carey's situation. Her manager did not immediately return a call for comment. Next week, Carey is scheduled to headline MTV's 20th birthday celebration, "MTV20: Live and Almost Legal", in New York. (MTV News)
