Sure, girls love Beyoncé. But Mariah Carey is apparently taking cues from her as well.

In an interview with Billboard, the former American Idol judge said she'll soon be "surprise dropping" a new album. But it's a "surprise." And of course, she's not calling it a "Beyoncé move," because what diva in her right mind would admit she's living in another woman's shadow?

As for Carey's inspiration for the new record, she's been listening to a lot of the greats: her own music. "A friend mine made me a playlist with 1,000 of my songs on it called 'The Ultimate MC Audio Collection,'" she revealed.
