MC GIVES NEGLECTED KIDS A BIG GIFT IN ASPEN

MC v Aspenu minulé pondělí pronajala rekreační centrum pro party pro 35 týraných a opuštěných dětí, které na tuto oslavu asi jen tak nezapomenou. Děti mezi 9-12 roky si v centru užívaly, plavaly v bazénu, bruslily, bavili je žongléri, kouzelníci a elfové a navštívil je Santa Claus. Cestou zoět do Denveru děti v autobuse sledovaly vánoční filmy vybrané MC.

When she wasn't dodging paparazzi while visiting Aspen on Monday, singer Mariah Carey was brightening the day for 35 abused and neglected kids. Carey rented the city-owned Aspen Recreation Center for four hours Monday afternoon to throw a party that the invited youth probably won't forget.

"This is an opportunity they haven't had before," said Jude Liguori-Oliver, child protection services administrator for the city and county of Denver. "Many of these kids haven't been out of Denver. A lot of them haven't been in the mountains."

The kids scurried up the recreation center's climbing wall, swam in the pool and floated on the Lazy River, went ice skating, and were entertained by jugglers, magicians and storytellers, some of whom were dressed as elves. All of the kids were between ages 9 and 12. The child protection services department is working to get the children in safe and permanent homes – with their families whenever practical.

After playing at the ARC, the kids got a visit from Santa Claus, who was accompanied by Carey and her husband, Nick Cannon. The trio pulled up in a sleigh on wheels pulled by reindeer.

The children definitely knew their celebrity host. "Oh absolutely. As soon as she got off the sleigh they started screaming, 'Mariah, Mariah, Mariah," Liguori-Oliver said.

A specially decorated winter scene was created at the ARC where each child got to individually visit with Santa, flanked by Carey and Cannon. A professional photographer snapped their pictures, which each child will receive. On the bus ride home, the 35 kids and 15 staff members watched Christmas movies purchased by Carey. The 16-hour day was well worth it.

"It was just all about the kids," Liguori-Oliver said. "We are very grateful. Mariah is a celebrity that gives back."

Carey couldn't be immediately reached for comment Tuesday through her publicist. She has a history of throwing parties in Aspen for less fortunate kids. She has hosted children selected by Liguori-Oliver for three years. The previous two winters they congregated at Bumps Restaurant at Buttermilk and went tubing in a special area created by the Aspen Skiing Co. Some locals said Carey has been hosting parties for the kids for about 10 years.

Carey is a longtime Aspen visitor, particularly around the holidays. She is usually tracked by celebrity photographers. Numerous online gossip sites tend to focus on what she's wearing. There is rarely mention of her efforts to help underprivileged kids, and she didn't visibly seek publicity for this year's party. Word spread this year because it involved a public facility. Patrons were curious about why it was closed.

The recreation center was closed to the public between noon and 4 p.m., city recreation director Tim Anderson said Tuesday. Carey rented the facility for $1,000 per hour.

A man who helped Carey organize the party contacted the city about one week ago with an inquiry. Typically, the city wants to give ARC patrons more notice when there is a closure but Anderson and his staff felt the cause warranted the temporary inconvenience.

"It was a good thing. We felt a celebrity doing something for kids was a good thing," he said.

City taxpayers benefited as well. The ARC's total revenues for Monday were about twice as much as on Dec. 21 last year, according to Anderson.

The community recreation center is available for rent on a case-by-case basis. There is no set fee, but Anderson said the rent is higher in the evening, when the facility draws more customers. Carey's party worked well because it was in the afternoon, which isn't quite as busy, Anderson said. Anderson and Carey's representatives negotiated a rent deemed fair to both sides.

"This was for some less fortunate kids so we held the price down a little bit," Anderson said.

NBA PROMO VIDEO LONG SNEAK PEAK

Tady je minutová ukázka vánočnho NBA proma.

Here's the one minute sneak peak of the NBA Christmas promo.

A Holiday Treat: Behind The Scenes with Mariah Carey
She was scheduled to show up at 8:30 p.m. But she's a celebrity, so we expected to wait a little bit.

On a recent Tuesday evening on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, Carey was scheduled to record a music video to accompany ESPN's NBA Christmas Day coverage. The video features "All I Want for Christmas is You," her smash single that sold nearly 2 million copies and was downloaded a record 1 million times.

If you watch the NBA on Christmas Day, you'll get a bonus: Mariah Carey.The crew, on the third floor of a warehouse, were setting up the colorful trees with NBA ornaments. They were getting all the camera angles ready. They were practicing opening and closing a holiday gift box that Carey would be stepping out of. They were decorating the set in holiday colors.

8:30 p.m. -- "We hear she's around the corner, walking up the street," someone from Carey's pre-production team said.

9 p.m. -- "She's just about here. She won't have to walk up these steps, will she?" another person from Carey's pre-production team said.

9:30 p.m. -- Carey's clothes for the shoot arrived. We wondered, is she going to be like Lindsay Lohan and show up 10 hours late for a photo shoot?

10 p.m. -- "She'll be right there," someone from Carey's pre-production team said.

At 10:14 p.m., two bodyguards and two managers walked in. They surveyed the situation, and requested that the video cameras be turned off.

Then Carey walked in. Followed by three public relations people, a hair stylist and makeup artist, and a few other hangers-on. Oh, and husband Nick Cannon.

"It's festive," Carey said as she walked in dressed to the hilt, in a black dress, wearing 4-inch heels, with perfect hair, a massive wedding ring on her left hand and a butterfly diamond ring on her right. She admitted being tired from a long day of promotional spots. Then she headed to the dressing room to get her makeup done before doing some interviews.

"Access Hollywood," NBA.com and ESPN.com all had time to talk with her before the shooting of the video. Each was scheduled for two minutes. Yes, two minutes. But Carey does what she wants, and she allowed the interviews to go on as long as necessary.

"Access Hollywood" talked with Carey about her performance as a social worker in "Precious," a new movie adaption of the 1996 novel "Push" by Sapphire.

"It was an amazing movie and I was very fortunate to take part," Carey said. "I had to really dress down for the part and let go of my inhibitions. It was exciting."

NBA.com asked Carey about her thoughts on basketball. Carey, who sang her song "Hero" to honor Michael Jordan at the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, isn't a huge sports fan. "I'm not that big into the NBA but I know my family is," she said. "I know my nephew will be watching the games on Christmas Day and he'll be forced to watch me!"

Since Carey isn't a big sports fan, ESPN.com decided, what the heck -- let's talk about Christmas. "I remember as a little girl not having much money," said Carey, who was born on Long Island, the youngest child of Patricia Carey, a former opera singer. "Mom would wrap an orange in tissue paper and say it was from Clarence, the cat."

Carey's parents divorced when she was 3, and that's when Carey started singing. That led, as a teenager, to working as a demo singer, and eventually to a job as a backup singer for Brenda K. Starr. In 1988, Carey met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola at a party, and nearly 200 million album sales later, the rest is history.

For Carey, the song "All I Want for Christmas is You" has special meaning because Christmas is her favorite holiday.

Carey and Nick Cannon are now a power couple in the entertainment industry."I wrote the song so long ago and I'm so proud that it's still popular," said Carey of the song she wrote with Walter Afanasieff and released in 1994. "I never thought it would be like this. I'm so glad people like it."

That's why Carey wanted to do the video. She loves the holidays, and it will help spark interest as she embarks on an eight-week, 19-city "Angels Advocate" tour starting on Dec. 31 at Madison Square Garden.

But before then, she and her husband are heading to Aspen, Colo., for Christmas. "I want to make the holidays fun and exciting," said Carey, who has been married to Cannon for nearly two years. "I'm not into materialistic things anymore. I just want to be with friends and family."

Carey has already bought Cannon -- an actor, rapper and television personality -- a gift. "I'm not telling you what it is," she said. "But it's something close to my heart."

Cannon didn't realize Carey had done some shopping. "She got me one already? Wow! What is it? I know I need to get her something nice," Cannon said. "Holidays are special to us because we're always out there grinding. We can get together at the holidays and reflect. She has the most thoughtful heart of anyone I know."

So in the end, it didn't really matter to anyone that the shoot -- videotaping Carey walking out of a box singing her song, trying to jokingly place a basketball on top of a tree, and generally just getting into the holiday spirit -- ended at 2 a.m.

It was worth it.
