You'll play a waitress in a movie called Tennessee. Were you afraid to act again after Glitter? I was honored Lee Daniels called me. He produced The Woodsman and Monster's Ball. He's a risk taker. Obviously it would be a risk in a lot of people's minds to cast me. But he never saw Glitter.

Have you ever sent dogs running with a high note? No, but I got a letter from a girl who said she was listening to one of my songs and every time I hit a particular high note, the garage door would open or close.

Thanks, Mariah. Hey, thanks for doing the dishes. --By Rebecca Winters Keegan
