Dream Keeper Dazzler

Getting all glammed up for a public appearance, Mariah Carey made her way to the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in New York City on Thursday night (April 15).

Clad in a sexy little black dress, the Grammy winning singer was on-hand for the 12th Annual Keepers of the Dream Awards, which "recognizes exemplary displays of committed service to the tenets of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the ultimate dreamer."

Aside from her Dream Keeper outing, Miss Carey has reportedly signed on to star alongside Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jurnee Smollett, Kimberly Elise, Kerry Washington, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose and Loretta Devine in Tyler Perry's new movie.

According to Mr Perry, the film will be shot in New York City this summer for an expected release in late 2010 or early 2011.

As for the new flick, it's an adaptation of a play by Ntozake Shange written in 1975, with Tyler telling press, "Making a film of four colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enough is a dream come true for me."
