Only "Extra" has your exclusive first look at Mariah Carey's cameo in "You Don't Mess with the Zohan," which opens in theatres June 6th.
In the film, Adam Sandler plays a Mariah-obsessed Mossad agent determined to escape war -- to cut hair in New York City.


























Ok, whether she was lip syncing over Super Bowl recording, or not, it doesn’t matter. At one point she did it LIVE, and it was amazing. You have to keep in mind, that she is doing this for a film. That means that there are cameras, and lights on you for HOURS. You are shooting the same the same thing, over, and over again. It is tedious work, believe me… I’m an actor, and was working on Fast/Furious 4 set, and you’re looking at at least 12-hour days for scenes that would last 5 minutes in the movie. In fact, nine times out of ten, whenever you see someone “singing” in a movie, anything from a Disney film, to a “live concert” scene, the song is prerecorded. Because they are not going to have the singer sing the same line for 5 hours, that would be ridiculous. So you people need to relax, yes she was probably lip syncing, but that’s how it its done in films. Think of it as a music video, EVERYONE lip syncs in music videos. Hopefully you get my point by now…
