Mariah Carey sat down with Matt Lauer for a new primetime special called "Mariah Carey At Home In Concert With Matt Lauer." She revealed special details about her home life with husband Nick Cannon and their toddler twins, Moroccan and Monroe, plus an intimate performance -- at her house -- featuring songs from her new album, "Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse."

"I feel more empowered now than I did back in the day because I feel like I was always insecure as a child," she tells the "Today" host.

She also reveals, "Look, I've always been a pretty vulnerable person. But I built up -- I have learned how to build up a wall. So when I have to, I can put up that wall, and leave it there, and walk in the other direction. And that's what I have to do sometimes with people in my life when they just don't get it, that I'm a person like them."

What did you think of the interview -- was it actually revealing, or just a publicity ploy for her new album, which was released May 27? Maybe a little bit of both? And what did you think of the performances, which also featured special guests Wale and Fabolous?

{blackbabes} Lupita Nyong'o, Dakota Johnson and More Stars Stun at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

Born In the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen / The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 - Justin Timberlake

 

Stars like Lupita Nyong'o, Julianne Moore and Nicky Hilton flocked to the 7th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Jersey City, New Jersey for some fun in the sun.

The Oscar winner looked stunning in a black sunhat and Alexander McQueen black-and-white dress as she enjoyed the event with her brother (and Ellen's Oscar selfie crasher) Peter Nyong'o.

"Polo dates. @nyongolaflame @sahlovestravels #VeuveClicquotPoloClassic," the 12 Years a Slave star captioned a shot of herself, Peter and a pal riding in a car on the way to the event.

 

Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson was also on hand for the event. While she stayed mum on detalis about her upcoming flick Fifty Shades of Grey, the actress did give us the scoop on what she thinks the sexiest thing is that a woman can wear.

"I think the sexiest thing is a hat. It's very sexy!," she told E! News exclusively. And it just so happened that she wearing just that, along with a black and white sundress and matching heels.

Before heading out for the day, the actress also decided to play a bit of a prank while she was there, running off with a loaf of bread…and then posing for pictures with it.

{blackbabes} Williams, Wozniacki attend NBA playoffs in Miami

A Time to Kill - John Grisham / The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem

PARIS — Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki found a way to while away the time after their quick exits from the French Open: the NBA playoffs.

The WTA’s current No. 1 and former No. 1 went from Paris to Miami and attended Game 6 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, seeing the Heat beat the Indiana Pacers 117-92 to return to the NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year.

After the basketball game Friday night, Wozniacki posted a photo on her Twitter feed showing her and Williams posing with Miami’s Greg Oden.

No word yet on whether LeBron James might head to Wimbledon to watch Williams and Wozniacki once his season concludes.

LOOKING FOR HELP: The tallest player in ATP history — and, at 35, the oldest man left in the French Open — was hoping for a little divine intervention on court.

Ivo Karlovic, the 6-foot-11 Croatian best known for beating 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt in the first round there in 2003, knew the odds were against him heading into his match against 19th-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa at Roland Garros on Saturday.

Karlovic’s lower back had been acting up on him Friday to the point that, he told The Associated Press, "I didn’t even hit. It was difficult to walk."

So while he figured beating Anderson was out of the question, Karlovic decided to take "a lot of painkillers" and at least show up for their third-round match.

"I was hoping, maybe by stroke of God, he would get injured," Karlovic said with a chuckle. "But it didn’t happen."

Karlovic gave it a go for one set, but after losing that, he quit.

{blackbabes} Arena tour of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' canceled

A Time to Kill - John Grisham / The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem

A much-hyped tour of Jesus Christ Superstar has been abruptly canceled.

On Friday, Options Clause Entertainment LLC, an affiliate of S2BN Entertainment, announced the scrapping of the "Jesus Christ Superstar Arena Spectacular Tour" of North America, scheduled to kick off in New Orleans on June 9.

The trek, announced in April, was to bring the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical to venues in more than 50 cities, with a cast of pop and rock vets -- Michelle Williams, Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd, 'N Sync alum JC Chasez and former Sex Pistol John Rotten Lydon -- led by Ben Forster, who had played the role in U.K. and Australian tours after landing the part in a TV talent competition.

According to an official statement, all purchased tickets will be refunded, and tickets purchased online and via telephone will be automatically refunded.

{blackbabes} The Originals Casts The Wire Star in Witchy Season 2 Role

A Time to Kill - John Grisham / The Marshall Mathers LP2 - Eminem

 

 

Another witch is coming to the Big Easy!

The Originals has cast The Wire star Sonja Sohn in a recurring season two role, E! News has exclusively learned. 

Set to make her debut on the CW hit's third episode of the season, Sohn will be taking on the role of Lenore, a powerful salt-of-the-Earth in New Orleans. As we first reported in our Spoiler Chat, Lenore will prove to be quite the foe for Klaus (Joseph Morgan). 

After playing Detective Shakima "Kima" Greggs for five seasons on the highly acclaimed HBO drama, Sohn starred on Body of Proof opposite Dana Delany and has made guest appearances on The Good Wife, Law & Order: SVU and Burn Notice.

And Sohn's Lenore isn't the only new witch fans will be meeting in season two.

We exclusively reported that Daniel Sharman, a Teen Wolf fan favorite, is set to play Kaleb, the handsome, devilish and charming new witch in the French Quarter's coven who is intent on wreaking havoc, wooing women and causing as much chaos as possible.

When The Originals returns in October for its second season, it'll be moving to a new night, now set to air on Mondays at 8 p.m., followed by the CW's new (and first) comedy, Jane the Virgin.
