In today’s strange sparring news, two divas are fighting over the holidays. And by that we mean they’re fighting over the holidays!

Mariah Carey, 52, enjoyed an outing with her dashing boyfriend Bryan Tanaka, 39, in New York City this Friday.The All I Want For Christmas Is You showed off her curvaceous figure in a clinging, tiny black cocktail dress while out in New York this week.Draping herself in a long black leather coat that slid fashionably off her shoulders, the pop diva accessorized with massive black shades. Side by side: Mariah Carey, 52, enjoyed an outing with her dashing boyfriend Bryan Tanaka, 39, in New York City this FridayShe balanced expertly on a towering pair of black platform stilettos as she strutted her stuff down the sidewalk.Bryan, who used to be one of Mariah's backup dancers, has been dating her since 2016 after she split from Australian billionaire James Packer.  Until recently Mariah was facing down a $20 million copyright lawsuit brought by a writer called Andy Stone who claimed her seasonal classic All I Want For Christmas Is You was 'derivative' of a song he wrote in 1989.His song was also called All I Want For Christmas Is You, and although the music and lyrics are different he felt he should have the rights to the name.

With Halloween now in the rear-view mirror and the holidays fast approaching, Martha Stewart is making a plea to Christmas-obsessed Mariah Carey to not forget the Thanksgiving holiday.During an appearance on Today, the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia founder, 81, called out Carey, 52, by name to ask her to not skip right from Halloween to Christmas, which has been her track record over the years.'Mariah, you know me, I'm a traditionalist with a twist. And you cannot give up Thanksgiving just because you you don't like turkey,' Stewart, 81, said while looking into the camera, adding, 'I love turkey, and many, many other people love turkey.

The songwriter who accused Mariah Carey of ripping off her festive hit ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ from an earlier song he wrote of the same name has voluntarily dismissed his song theft lawsuit.Vince Vance sued Carey in June explaining that he co-wrote a song called ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ back in 1989, a version of which was recorded and released, enjoying “extensive airplay”, in 1993. That was the year before Carey released her album ‘Merry Christmas’ on which her much more famous song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ appears.Carey’s hit, Vance argued, was a derivation of his song, but no permission was ever sought to exploit his work in that way, which means his copyright was infringed.

Unlike pop star Taylor Swift, five-time Grammy winner Mariah Carey actually owns all of her master recordings including 86 singles and 15 studio albums dating back to 1990.The 53-year-old R&B diva made the revelation while discussing what actress could portray her in the upcoming small-screen adaptation of her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey.'I'm here to do anything we need to do. I own all my old masters,' Mariah - who's sold over 220M records globally - told USA Today on Tuesday.
