  • 12 years ago
Mimi is back. Mariah Carey made her first return to the stage since giving birth to twins last April. The singer hit the stage in New York City for a promotional performance for Caesars Entertainment. Carey sang some of her biggest hits - even pausing to touch up her air and make-up on stage in front of an eager audience.

Cee Lo Green has signed on for a semi-permanent residency at Las Vegas's Planet Hollywood hotel and casino. Green said the performances will feature showgirls, pyrotechnics and other over-the-top touches. He will launch in August.

Scarlett Johansson will take part in an upcoming film about Alfred Hitchcock and the making of "Psycho." The film tells the story of the Hitchcock's struggles to make the movie. Johansson will play Janet Leigh - best known for her chilling shower scene in the film.

Finally, Hindu radicals in India protested against the shooting of a film by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow. Bigelow is making a movie about the hunt for Osama bin Laden and was denied access to shoot in Pakistan, so filmmakers converted parts of an Indian city to resemble it. Right-wing Hindus were offended by the use of India to portray sworn enemy Pakistan and have written letters to the government requesting the production be halted.
