Mariah Carey To Star in Christmas Movie

10/06/2008

It's "tis the season" for singer Mariah Carey, who has recorded a Christmas album, and is now starring in a Christmas movie.

Celebrity News Service has learned all the holiday glitter is fine with Carey, who said that after recording a Christmas album she always wanted to make a holiday movie.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Carey is due to star in a musical film about a town whose future is in question, when real estate developers want to demolish it.

Carey, who will also soon star as a battered wife in "Tennessee," first debuted as an actress with her movie "Glitter." The movie did not get good reviews.

The Daily News said the singer is hoping to make up for her 2001 screenplay by starring in the Christmas musical. "Since I recorded the Christmas album, I've always wanted to make a movie to go with it, something that people could watch and hear and enjoy every year," she said.

"I'm into it," adds Mariah, "I'm all about the holiday season."
