Mariah Carey’s E=MC2 album cover was leaked this week (courtesy of mariahcarey.com) and you can peep it above. The album will be released on April 15 on Island Def Jam Records.

In related news, Mariah is covering the newest issue of Allure magazine revealed that she is a “prude” and that she knows people think she’s a ditz.

“It’s a dichotomy, I understand,” the 37-year-old Grammy winner tells Allure magazine. “I understand that people think I am a ditzy moron.” [ READ MORE ]

TERRENCE HOWARD TO RELEASE AN ALBUM

Actor Terrence Howard is gearing up to release an album this fall! Howard, who was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his role as a pimp-turned-rapper in 2005 movie Hustle & Flow, has signed with Columbia Records. This should be quite interesting.

A representative from the label has said that Terrence’s debut album will be titled Terrence Howard Presents Me & the Band of Kings. I have to admit, my interest is very peaked by this.

As you may recall, the track from Hustle & Flow won an Academy Award, but because of Howard’s delivery and Three 6 Mafia’s writing. So, I guess my next question would be: Is Terrence going to be writing the records on this album?

So far, there is no release date, but we do know that the album is set to drop in this year’s third music quarter. We’ve been hearing about this album for a long time, but now we’ve finally got confirmation that Terrence has a deal, and is currently cutting tracks for the new project.

GNARLS BARKLEY MOVES UP RELEASE

The dynamic duo Gnarls Barkley has moved their set up a few dates. Although they say that they were just ready to get the project out, I think it had more to do with the fact that the album leaked a month before it’s release.

“They felt the timing was right to just go for it,” said an unnamed spokesman for the band. “With the shifting seasons, furtive romantic entanglements and fierce college basketball rivalries, the latter half of March can be confusing. People need to be soothed and inspired now.”

Worded strangely, but I’ll buy it.

Originally slated for April 8th release, and leaking sometime early last week, Gnarls Barkley, consisting of Cee-Lo Green and DJ Danger Mouse has decided to release digitally, today, March 18th and will appear in stores the following week on the 25th. I think this was a good move for their new album, The Odd Couple, which is a really great sound for them. Although I think I’m still a little more partial to St. Elsewhere, Odd Couple is a wonderful second effort for them.

    listening to ODD COUPLE right now…ITS WONDERFUL!!

  2. TRAILBLAZER

    I loooove Mariah’s last cd but for some reason I doubt if her new cd will be as good but she always seem to surprise me sooooo… I’ll give it a chance. Im not a big fan of the single she has out now but at least her albums deliver. Its funny bc people wit good singles have crappy albums and ppl with crappy singles have good albums. Either way, Mariah hasn’t disappointed me yet so I’ll give this album a chance but I’ll be scruntinizing it hard just because I really liked her last album.

  3. Is it just me or does Mariah Carey try so hard to be sexy?
    For some reason it just doesn’t come off as natural to me. Just my 2 cent$

    #60 I am FAR from a “HATER” only someone who entertained the idea of being a plastic surgeon in college… I saw her on the MTV cribs episode and she absolutely 100% had the body of someone who’d recently been lipo’d… When a woman is wide and flat yet not at all “flabby” it’s lipo 90% of the time. Google some before and after shots of patients who have had liposuction and then google stills of that episode or something and you’ll see she absolutely had lipo. And, usually when a woman has it once or in one area, she either has it frequently or in another… It’s not difficult… As for the nose job…it looks like one to me…though I will concede that it’s big now and was big then so maybe that slimming with shades of makeup threw me… Not the lipo though…she’s absolutely had it…

    Mimi looks great but the cover isn’t that special but it fits Mariah’s image…..She better bring it with the cd though!!!!! lol…

    Mariah’s baddest album cover was from her #1′s album. Right after she got a divorce and before she got her boobs.

  8. CALMANDRELAXED

    That album cover is not cute at all. She need to grow up and stop trying to be a sex kitten. She can do wayyyyy better than that Touch my body mess.

  9. CALMANDRELAXED

    Terrence Howard is makin an album? Interesting………….

    i LIKE THE PICTURE BUT I DON’T LIKE THE FONT THEY ARE USING. IT THROWS THE WHOLE THING OFF. THAT SHOULD BE ON THE SIDE AND THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE PICTURE WITHOUT ANY LETTERING. SHE ACTUALLY HAS BEEN DRESSING A LOT NICER LATELY. DID YOU GUYS SEE HER ON 106 & PARK, SNL, AND HER PARADE & ALLURE MAGAZINE PICS. NOT BAD. SHE IS SINGING ABOUT YOUTUBE, WENDY WILLIAMS, ETC TO STAY RELEVANT AND TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE CURRENT. IF SHE SANG ABOUT BEING 38 AND BAKING CAKES AND GOING THROUGH A MIDLIFE CRISIS NO ONE WOULD BE BUYING HER ALBUM. AS LONG AS THE MUSIC IS GOOD WHO CARES HOW SHE DRESSES. SHE’S ALWAYS EXTRA AND OVER THE TOP, WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ACTING SURPRISED. AS FOR SHOWING HER BODY, IF YOU GOT IT FLAUNT IT, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE OVER 30 DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO ROLL OVER AND DIE AND DRESS LIKE AN OLD LADY. SHE MAY DRESS LIKE A HOOCHIE BUT SHE SAYS SHE ACTS LIKE THE BUTTON UP GIRLS ARE SUPPOSED TO, MEANING SHE IS NOT PROMISCUOUS. I THINK THE ALBUM WILL BE HOT, THE NEXT SINGLE SHE SAYS WILL BE A BALLAD.

    this cover is irrelevant to her title, wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff, i dont see einstein anywhere, nor if this suppose to depict her as being “the best” or “the smartest” as we relate E=MC2……

  12. Dyvinesun

    GO head Terrence!! all these rappers and singers think they can act, why not have a actor who raps.

  13. Debra

    I agree with you MIKE, Mariah is a grown ass woman who can sing about whatever she wants, I’m down with Touch My Body love the lyrics everything about and I’m older than MIiMi.
