Mariah Carey would “rather be on stage with a pig” than duet with Jennifer Lopez.The ‘Hero’ singer slammed rumours she was planning to collaborate with pregnant J.Lo, saying it would “never happen”.When asked about a possible duet, she fumed to US TV show ‘Inside Hollywood’:
“I’d rather be on stage with a pig! A duet with Jennifer Lopez and me just isn’t going to happen.”This isn’t the first time the diva singers have come to blows.They first crossed swords in 2001 when Jennifer sampled two songs from the soundtrack to Mariah’s movie ‘Glitter’ in two versions of her own hit track ‘I’m Real’ for her album ‘J.Lo’.An insider on the set of ‘Glitter’ said at the time:
“Mariah was so paranoid about the music getting out that we had another singer sing the temporary versions before the film was released.”When Jennifer Lopez’s album ‘J.Lo’ came out, and had the exact same song on it, we knew she had a right to be paranoid. We couldn’t believe her audacity.”Shortly after the scandal, Mariah was interviewed for German television and questioned about fellow divas.When asked about former ‘Destiny’s Child’ singer Beyoncé Knowles, Mariah complimented her beauty and talent.But when she was questioned about Jennifer, Mariah looked incredibly uncomfortable and said:
“I don’t know her.”The feud was recently reignited when Mariah was told Jennifer has eight hours of sleep a night.She cattily laughed:
“If I had the luxury of not actually having to sing my songs, I’d do that too.”

Alicia Keys wants Jamie Lynn Spears to become a spokesperson for safe sex.Alicia believes Jamie Lynn, who this week announced she was pregnant at the age of just 16, should use her unexpected pregnancy to stop other teenagers rushing into bed.She said:
“I think that maybe she can use this opportunity to talk about the ways that it’s really important to have safe sex and it’s difficult for teens to refrain and restrain but it’s really important because it changes your whole life. It’s a very serious thing.”Alicia also said ‘Zoey 101′ star Jamie Lynn, who is dating 19-year-old Casey Aldridge, may have found it difficult to not have sex because she became famous at such a young age.She added to US TV show ‘The View’:
“Different people have different lives and different situations. I think that it is a very intense business and that in a lot of ways you are exposed to so much so quickly, so often there’s really no limit to what you can get, or have, or do. Whatever you ask for is there.”You can be 13. You can be nine. You can be 47. It really doesn’t matter. Everything is basically handed to you on a platter.”But the point is that it gets very hard and difficult because most of the people in the industry are very young and we are influenced easily.”
