Mariah ends Crave

Mariah Carey seems to be tying up all the loose ends from her prior life as the wife of Sony music head Tommy Mottola. The Hollywood Reporter says the scantily clad Butterfly singer has decided to shut down her Sony Music label, Crave Records, the home to such acts as Allure and 7 Mile. Carey did not give a reason for the decision, but said she will work with Sony to find a home, most likely at Epic Records, for the artists and her Crave employees.

The diva also seemed to hint that more changes may be in the works: "The most important thing for me and Sony Music is making sure the artists are well taken care of, whether they end up somewhere else with me in the near future or stay within the Sony system."

Carey formed Crave last year, but the label's future has been in doubt since the singer's quickie divorce last March from Mottola. The songstress is currently trying to launch a big screen career, and she'll reportedly begin shooting the spy spoof 00-Soul in October with comedian Chris Tucker.
