Miguel and Mariah Carey sing each other's praises in their "#Beautiful" video.
It's not like we didn't know Mariah Carey's arms were seriously toned (I mean, did you SEE her Cinderella wedding vow renewal dress??), but HOLY EFF, MiMi looks unreal in her "#Beautiful" video featuring soulful throwback R&B crooner Miguel! It's like the return of the "Fantasy"-era abs up in here, and we are NOT complaining.

Listen to Mariah Carey and Miguel's "Beautiful" collaboration.
We kiiiiind of hate the word "comeback" in regards to Mariah Carey, because, well, it's not like she ever went away. She took a small hiatus from the musical spotlight, but we still saw her posing adorably with Dem Babies, watched her battle it out with Nicki Minaj on "American Idol," and listened to a few less-than-special songs like "Almost Home." That in mind, Mariah's latest endeavor, "#Beautiful," featuring the mad soulful Miguel, is OFF THE CHAIN. So, even though we kinda hate to say it, "Welcome back, Mimi!"

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon renewed their wedding vows DRESSED AS CINDERELLA AND PRINCE CHARMING.
NO WORDS. We have literally ZERO WORDS to say about the fact that Mariah Carey and her hubby, Nick Cannon, went all out for their five-year anniversary/ "Dem Babies" birthday by renewing their vows at Disneyland in a "Cinderella"-themed ceremony. Actually, we do have a few words, and they go like this: Renewing your vows at Disneyland is THE MOST Mariah Carey-est thing to do ever. Especially if you're Mariah Carey. She's out-Mariahed herself! This is actually even more Mariah Carey-ier than when she played her own song during her twins' birth. Girlfriend is COMMITTED to being a princess and making sweet fantasies a reality.

Watch Mariah Carey's brand-new video for "Almost Home."
Brace yourselves: There's a new Mariah Carey video afoot! And it's not just any Mariah Carey video -- it's the video for her new song "Almost Home," which as you ought to know by now, will be featured in Disney's upcoming "The Wizard Of Oz" prequel, "Oz: The Great And Powerful." Judging by the preview for "Almost Home," we expected the full video to include a lot of classic Mariah moves like hair-flipping, strutting, wind machines, hand-raising, and long gowns, all of which IS there. And now we can't WAIT to see James Franco, Mila Kunis, and Michelle Williams on the big screen. Although we have to ask, wouldn't it make sense for Mariah to cameo as one of the witches' beautiful cousins? Eep, sorry, we'll say anything to get Mariah more screen time.

Mariah Carey hair flips her way toward "Oz" in her "Almost Home" video preview.
We've already introduced you to Mariah Carey's dramatic new jam "Almost Home," which is slated to appear in the forthcoming Disney film "Oz: The Great And Powerful." And now, only a day later, we're bringing you a sneak peek of Mimi's accompanying music video! How is this possible, you ask? Why, just call us Oz, The Great And Powerful! Er, well, maybe it's more appropriate to call Mariah Carey "Oz" in this case. Or maybe "Glinda." Either one.

Mariah Carey heads to "Oz" on her new track, "Almost Home."
It's not Mariah Carey's first time at the movie soundtrack rodeo (um, HELLO, remember her Whitney Houston-assisted "When You Believe" from "The Prince Of Egypt"?). Only this time, Mariah has taken on the epic, soaring anthem "Almost Home," which will appear in the forthcoming Disney film "Oz: The Great And Powerful" (starring James Franco as "Oz," as opposed to James Franco as Justin Bieber). Co-written by a troupe of writers including Mariah herself (#hairflip) and pop singer Lindsey Ray, "Almost Home" boasts some superslick pop/R&B vibes courtesy of production duo Stargate. We're already sold!

Mariah Carey relaxes in the tub... with her dog?!
If you've ever wondered what Mariah Carey's bathtime looks like (PG-only visuals here, mmmkay), here's the official image! And it's exactly as luxurious and Mariah Carey-like as you would expect: fancy candles NOT from CVS, a gigantic tub, soothing bubbles, champagne, and, oh, A DOG. Yes, the same dog Mimi brought on stage with her also got an all-access bath pass with the diva. And while we're generally all about sharing life's joys with a pet, we're not exactly sure how we feel about sharing bath water with them.
Posting her bathtub photo on Twitter with the caption "Aaaah! Jill E Beans leaps to the tub In hopes of a splash champagne - whhhhhy?!," the "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" singer was snapped happily holding her dog up above the bathwater (wet dogs = smelly)! (Miley Cyrus struck a similar pose yesterday -- it's our job to remember these things.) And while you're probably much more at ease knowing that Mariah doesn't normally take baths with pets, we're just going to fixate on the fact that her dog was actually heading in for the champagne! So does that mean that Jill E Bean usually drinks fancy (and probs SUPER expensive) bubbly?! Is it normal for celebrity pooches to get hooch? We've said it before, and we'll say it again: PLEASE LET OUR NEXT LIFE BE THE PET OF A FAMOUS PERSON (even as a ferret -- and that's saying a lot).
