MARIAH CAREY - CAREY MAKES ANOTHER ACTING ATTEMPT

Singer MARIAH CAREY is planning to star in another movie - despite the critical mauling her autobiographical film GLITTER received.

The HONEY star, whose '80s-themed movie was panned by critics and avoided by fans, will play a scantily clad beauty in the remake of JAMES BOND spoof CASINO ROYALE, according to British newspaper the DAILY MIRROR.

An insider says, "Mariah is going to play the part immortalised by URSULA ANDRESS. It's a comedy so Mariah's going to be making fun of herself."

PIERCE BROSNAN is currently in talks to play 007 in QUENTIN TARANTINO's remake of Casino Royale.

Carey has also agreed to team up with fellow singers PATTI LaBELLE, MISSY ELLIOTT, ALICIA KEYS and MACY GRAY for independent film LADIES' NIGHT.
