she’d look something like this.

That’s Mariah as a man (Eminem?) in her upcoming video for “Obsessed.” There’s also this photo of her dressed as a chauffeur, leading me to think (hope!) Mariah may be playing EVERYONE in this video. There were already rumors her bitchy alter ego Bianca, from the “Heartbreaker” video, was making an appearance.

Mariah also appears as herself in the video.

I never did post the cover for Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which Mariah debuted on her website last week. Check it out after the jump.

I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?

Mariah’s clearly going at Eminem in “Obsessed” although I’m not sure he’s the only one – I guess we’ll have to wait for the biography.

You can listen to the song here. It’s a different sound for Mariah and the lyrics are quite bold. I’m definitely feeling it.

Here are some of my favorite lyrics:

Got ya all fired up with your Napoleon complex
See right through ya like ya bathin in Windex

You a mom and pop, I’m a corporation
I’m the press conference, you a conversation

Why you so Obsessed with me? (Boy I wanna know)
Lyin that your sexin me (and everybody knows)

News also came today that Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will drop August 25th!!

Mariah’s new single “Obsessed will hit radio in less than two days and details about the song and video are popping up all over the internetz teasing fans – like me!

Here’s what we know… or think we know:

1. Mariah’s evil alter ego Bianca, who first appeared in the “Hearbreaker” video 10 years ago, may appear in the video.

Mariah Carey as Bianca
Mariah allegedly told this to a fan via Twitter direct message.

2. The song just might be an Eminem diss record! The-Dream, who’s been working on Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel with MC, had this to say about “Obsessed” when he spoke to HipHopDX:

“I don’t think anybody is going to expect her to come out punching like she is going to come out… It’s going to light the blogs up too because you don’t know who she talking about, what she talking about, but she talking about something… somebody’s going to be very upset.”

3. It’s for the summer. Here’s how Mariah described the track – “an uptempo fun summer record… different for me, but clearly,its SO me!”

4. The video may be directed by Brett Ratner. This one also allegedly came via Twitter direct message to a fan. Mariah and Ratner have collaborated in the past on “Heartbreaker”, “It’s Like That”, “We Belong Together”, and most recently “Touch My Body.”

5. Gucci Mane will appear on the remix. In a radio interview with Gucci Mane, the rapper said he’d been in the studio with Mariah working on the song.

Despite bad reviews, and worse styling (really with the curly red weave?), Obsessed came in on top at the box office pulling in $28.5 million in the U.S. this weekend. Fast & Furious held on to the number one international spot.

I’m sure all the Beyonce stans and fans out there are responsible for the success of this PG-13 rated “suspense thriller.” This is Beyonce’s first non-singing leading role and co-star Idris Elba said it was hard to connect with the mega star because of “the machine” around her.

Hopefully “the machine” is encouraging her to work on her craft because – what are we seven movies in? – the critics are still not loving Beyonce, the actress.

However, she did look faboosh at the film’s premiere, rocking a strapless Balmain mini-dress with sequins (she is Beyonce, after all) and a train.

In other movie news, The Soloist starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr. came in at a disappointing No.4. Downey’s reviews are a lot better than Foxx’s. Sad, considering he got so into portraying the schizophrenic violinist that he needed therapy.

Check out Beyonce on Larry King after the jump.
