According to sources at Def Jam, Mariah Carey is reaching out to Justin Timberlake again. During the making of her last album Charmbracelet, the two recorded the track “Yours,” as a duet but the song was never released, “She really wants to make this happen,” the source adds, “Justin and Mariah have been friends since they worked together in 2002. His label did not want him to be attached with Carey’s woes at the time and in return they shut down the idea of releasing the duet.” Timberlake is currently working on a movie and contemplating his return to N’ Sync. Without a solo album in the pot, this is all the more possible. A close friend of Timberlake insists, “He would love to work with Mariah again. All she has to do ask and he is there.”

Patti Labelle is one of the world’s greatest vocalist but is she being treated as such. Her latest album released this Tuesday has hit stores with little to no publicity. “Now under the reign of L.A. Reid, you have to wonder how important this album is to him,” says a Def Jam employee, “This is the same man who released albums from Santana, TLC, Toni Braxton, Aretha Franklin, Blu Cantrell and Kenny G without any promotion. At the same time he released an album by Whitney Houston while sending her to commit career suicide with Diane Sawyer.” Others closer to the project stay optimistic “I feel this could be one of her best albums. She has been doing the interviews, meeting the fans and has really step forward with this release. I believe with a little support, a lot can be done.”

Michelle Williams has not only followed Toni Braxton in the title role of Broadway’s Aida, but she has also followed her in the role of 'girlfriend.' Williams is currently dating Braxton’s ex-beau, Curtis Martin from the NY Jets. Braxton says Martin inspired her to write the track, “Just Be A Man About It.”…In other Aida news, Deborah Cox has extended her run through September 5th, 2004.
