Mariah Carey spoke with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS FM earlier this week where she announced that she will be going on tour beginning this November in support of her latest album E=MC². No further details have been revealed yet.

The concert series launches July 31st with a 35-minute performance by Carey at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, CA. Portions of the concert will be broadcast later that evening on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Beyonce Knowles’ fans will be happy to learn that she’s releasing not just one but two new albums – the first in November 2008 and the second in February 2009 via Music World Entertainment/Columbia Records. As previously reported, the yet to be titled projects are scheduled to feature productions from Jack Splash (Estelle Swaray, John Legend), Beau Dozier (Nicole Scherzinger, Vanessa Hudgens), Jim Jonsin (Teedra Moses, LeToya Luckett), Kerry “Krucial” Brothers (Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys), Stargate: Tor Erik Hermansen & Mikkel Storleer Eriksen (Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks), Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins (Toni Braxton, Jennifer Lopez), Eric Hudson (Brandy Norwood, Whitney Houston) and Reginald “Scyience” Perry (Mary J. Blige, Janet Jackson).

Another hitmaker roped in for the project is Chad Beatz - best known for belting Ashanti’s duet with Robin Thicke, “Things You Make Me Do”. The track he’s crafted is entitled “Strobe Light”, and it was written by Mary Brown (“Bad Girl” – Danity Kane / “No, No, No” – Destiny’s Child).
