Tennessee’s Comin’ to New York
February 28th, 2008 by amyro
According to Mariah Carey’s fansite, the delovely diva paid a visit to TRL yesterday to announce the big, big news that Tennessee will be appearing at the Tribeca Film Festival this spring. Oh, and to launch her new video, “Touch My Body”. Show Adam’s co-star some love and vote for it. And it’s got Jack McBrayer! The Apple staff sure loves them some Jack McBrayer. The Mariah Daily Journal has a downloadable video of the announcement, posted at midnight today.
We were getting a little impatient there, but this is pretty cool. No schedule or official roster of films has been announced as of yet, but the website does currently offer a mailing list and, for American Express cardholders, various ticket packages composed of presently unannounced films. This year, the festival will run from April 23rd to May 4th and tickets for individual shows will go on sale April 12th for AmEx cardholders, the 18th for downtown residents and the 19th for everybody else. As always, updates to follow.
Update:
If past years are any guide, we can expect the official lineup to be released around the middle of March.
Just a quick update on one of Adam’s other projects, Lipstick Jungle received an order from the network for another six scripts. Still no word on whether additional episodes will be filmed (or the status of Adam’s character), but it is doing reasonably well with its target demographic of women 18-34 and women 18-49, so we’re cautiously optimistic that our man Adam may be on our TV screens on a regular basis in the very near future.

Can’t wait to hear more news for Tennessee! Hopefully, we’ll hear more soon.
As for Lipstick Jungle, I saw Brooke Shields promoting it on Jay Leno last night and she said that her show is doing very well. That would be cool if Adam will make it on that show, so we can watch him on tv.

Btw, the first Mariah Carey fansite you linked to was actually Mariah’s official website, while Mariah Daily Journal is her #1 Fansite (the site all her fans visit to on a daily basis for all Mariah news that the official website don’t always have, lol). Just thought I’d pointed that out, haha!

I know, but I still consider the official Carey site a “fansite,” even if it’s not technically the #1 site in terms of daily traffic or whatever criteria MDJ’s using to claim the designation. In this case, the official Mariah Carey site had the story first and that’s where we got it last night so that’s who we gave the tip to. While they had the music video news early on, the MDJ took a while to get the news on Tennessee up on their site.

Oh, I see what you meant now. Sorry. The official site though has been updating news a lot quicker this time than in the past (I know because I’m a member of that site’s fan club for a very long time, lol). As for MDJ, the fansite always get most of the news first (which all her fans rely more on news posted about her than the official), but probably didn’t get to post the Tennessee news as quicker than the official site as they post lots of MC news several times a day on a daily basis. I love both sites though, so it’s all good.
Back to Tennessee… I can’t wait till Tribeca Film Festival start announcing their film line-up and the festival itself. I’m looking forward to seeing Mariah, Adam, and the rest of Tennessee cast promote and talk about it.
