Mariah Carey and new hubby Nick Cannon were on hand here in NYC last night for a premiere screening event for her new movie Tennessee which took place as part of the Urbanworld Film Festival. Uh huh. Never fear, y’all … just cuz you missed seeing Tennessee at this year’s Urbanworld Film Festival doesn’t mean that all hope is lost … no siree … it is being reported that Mariah Carey’s first movie since her disastrous movie Glitter will, in fact, be making its way to movie theaters this December. Isn’t that amazing news?! Here are pics of Mr. & Mrs. Cannon at last night’s premiere screening event:

Seven years after her disastrous movie headlining debut “Glitter,” pop star Mariah Carey will return to theaters in December. Vivendi Entertainment has acquired all domestic rights to the road trip drama “Tennessee,” which premiered at this spring’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The quiet — and at times moody — drama centers on two lower-middle class brothers (Adam Rothenberg, Ethan Peck) who take to the road to resolve their economic and health challenges. Along the way they meet a waitress (Carey) whose dreams of a singing career have been dashed by a bad marriage. Though not a musical, director Lee Daniels’ film features Carey performing the original ballad “Right to Dream,” which she co-wrote with Willie Nelson.
Has it been 7 years already? My, how time flies. In her defense, I hear that Tennessee is much different, much better than Glitter (which can’t be too hard to achieve, right?) and in all honesty, I’m actually looking forward to seeing Mimi up on the big screen again. Tho, I’m hoping that her cameo role in this year’s You Don’t Mess With The Zohan is no indication of her acting prowess these days … cuz … yeah. Oh and I’m glad to see that the newlyweds are still all in the holding hands almost every second of the day stage of their marriage. Surely, they’ll be together forever. So … any Glitter fans out there? Are any of y’all looking forward to seeing Mimi in a serious acting role?
