Mariah Carey is in Paris right now celebrating her wedding anniversary with Nick Cannon and the first birthday of her twins. She might as well just stay there. I am told that amfAR, the AIDS research fundraising group, wants her as their big celebrity performer next month in Cannes. Past performers have included an eclectic range from Kylie Minogue to Wyclef Jean, Dita von Teese, and Janet Jackson. (The best one was in 2002 with Elton John and Sam Moore, among others.) Carey’s received the amfAR offer, but so far nothing’s been decided because she’s finishing up a new album and has other commitments. Meanwhile, the Cannes Film Festival is getting wiser about amfAR siphoning off celebrities from the festival on the second Thursday of the festival. This year, Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen will premiere at the same time in “Hemingway and Gellhorn,” directed by Philip Kaufman, who’s also giving a master class during Cannes. This means the red carpet at the Palais could be just as busy–or busier than the one up at the Eden Roc in Antibes where amfAR stages its aggressive auction and dinner.
