The Baby singer Justin Beiber has worked with high-profile stars on a selection of duets for the festive record, including Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men, Usher and The Band Perry, but had kept the identity of the superstar Mariah Carey from everyone, even his producer Tricky Stewart, until he made the announcement after a series of tantalising tweets recently. He wrote, “oh yeah, didnt I promise everyone I would tell them who my last special guest is on my Christmas album #UnderTheMistletoe ???
Justin then tweeted a link to a video of Maria with the words “well like I said...#UnderTheMistletoe is not your normal christmas album. right @mariahcarey . #NOV1st (sic)”
In the video, Mariah said, “What’s up I’m Mariah Carey and I’m here today to tell you a little secret. Justin and I are doing this duet together, it is my song All I Want For Christmas, which I wrote and produced. I’m very excited about it. The song sounds great and I’m very excited for you all to hear it this Christmas and be totally festive with our festive collaboration.”

Rihanna regrets single life
The Only Girl (In The World) hitmaker Rihanna was most recently romantically linked to Colin Farrell and previously dated baseball player Matt Kemp last year, but she insists she isn’t dating anyone at present and admits it is a drag.
In an interview with the UK edition of Vogue magazine, she said, “I need an escape because this job is way too much anyway. It’s a pain in the a** coming home alone and after work to lie in a hotel bed with nobody to get you up unless it’s work related. But it makes no sense starting something you are going to stop, so I don’t want to rush into anything.”
Rihanna is wary of finding the right person to start a relationship with, however, as she doesn’t like for things to become boring.
The 23-year-old pop star, who was in a committed relationship with Chris Brown, but dumped him after he assaulted her, added, “I mean it is nice being single in one way, because a relationship can feel like a chore, and that’s not good. That’s not what I need.”
