Mariah Carey revealed her new album cover for Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel today on her website MariahCarey.com.

“It would probably leak today so I figured “might as well give it a nice debut” I hope “you like this”: )” Mariah tweeted on her Twitter page.

“The reason I chose to use 3 images for the cover is cos there are a lot of different emotions and stories revealed on this album. I knew…”

I think her new album cover is pretty sweet, what do you think?

A small record label called  Hi-Fi Recordings/Wilshire Records is releasing On With the Show , an album Adam Lambert co-wrote and recorded before his Idol days, and he’s not happy.

“The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on,” he said.

“Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else. I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio.”

I don’t blame him for being mad, the music from On With the Show doesn’t show Adam’s full potential, he’s currently working with music’s hottest songwriters and producers and can’t wait for his fans to hear what his music really sounds like.

In Mariah Carey’s new single Obsessed, which you can listen to above, she seems to be firing back at Eminem who taunted her in his Bagpipes From Baghdad tracks.

“I was like, ‘Why are you so obsessed with me?’ ” Carey says before the music begins.

 ”It must be the weed, it must be the E/ ‘Cause you be poppin’, you get it poppin’,” Carey later sings.

Just a coincidence considering Eminem just opened up recently about his drug problems on his Relapse LP.

And there’s more:

“Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy I wanna know/ Lying that you’re sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It’s clear that you’re upset with me,” she sings in an Auto-Tune-tinged voice.

She also goes on and sings about someone being “delusional” and “confused” and says that the person must be “losing their mind.”

I think it’s definitely directed towards Eminem, this only adds fuel to his fire and he’s not one to let things go. I think we’ll be hearing from him in the near future.

Joe Jonas chose to slam his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift in a song called “Much Better” in the new Jonas Brothers upcoming album “Lines, Vines, and Trying Times,” according to Star magazine. Star reports:

The song clearly recounts how middle bro Joe dumped the country singer to take up with 10,000 BC actress Camilla Belle. It even specifically calls out Taylor’s 2007 hit song, “Teardrops on My Guitar!”

The lyrics to “Much Better” seem a pretty obvious slam:

I get a rep for breakin’ hearts
Now I’m done with superstars
And all the tears on her guitar
I’m not bitter

But now I see
Everything I’d ever need
Is the girl in front of me
She’s much better

Aw, isn’t that so nice to tell your ex-girlfriend that the new girlfriend is “much better?” What a little gentleman! Let’s hope Taylor Swift responds by writing a new song called, “Your an A**hole.”

Rihanna got her sexy on for Kayne West’s music video for his song Paranoid. The video, which premiered at the Island Def Jam Spring Collection party last week, is a bit strange. I can say Rihanna half naked is the only thing that makes it worth watching.

Finally Micheal Jackson has announced that he’s working on a musical based on his 1982 hit Thriller with the Nederlander Organization.

“I love the idea of making Thriller a musical. Girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy has big secret,” quipped producer James L. Nederlander, whose company runs nine Broadway theaters.

Michael plans to oversee “every aspect of the creative process” and his rep says he’s in fine health despite rumors of a life-threatening lung condition:

“Mr. Jackson is in fine health and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances,” said Tohme.

A world tour? I wonder if he’ll ask Beyonce to open for him…
