Mariah Carey on the hunt for a New Year gig

With less than a week to go, the newly svelte songstress’ team was shopping over the past few days for a gig paying up to $500,000 at any venue in the United States and beyond, the New York Post reported.

“Mariah’s management was looking for a lucrative deal for her, but she’d sing only a few songs. But, there haven’t yet been any takers,” a source said.

“While her team is fielding her offers, Mariah is happy spending holidays with her twins and husband.”

Contrary to what the source has said, Mariah’s rep has denied these reports.

“She’s not doing any New Year events. She’ll be in Aspen with her family,” the rep said.
