The two super musicians that are Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz came together in Cannes along with Paula Patton and Gabby Sidibe to attend a photocall for ‘Precious’. 

In Precious, Mariah Carey transforms herself from the glamazon that she is into a regular person and her performance is getting great reactions:

“The only reactions from fans who have seen the trailer and twittered me have said the movie’s amazing,” Carey tells PEOPLE. “No one has said, ‘Girl I can’t believe you are there with those dark circles under your eyes and wearing a wig and looking nasty.’ No one went that far.”

And what did her husband Nick Cannon think of her role:

“My husband’s response was over-the-top supportive and amazing. It was not like, ‘I can’t believe you let yourself look like that in the movie.’ “

This movie will have you crying for sure.  It is based upon the book with the same name written by Sapphire and is of a young girl in Harlem who grows up amid horrible abuse. 

 The main character, Precious is played by newcomer Gabourey Sidibe who says of her very first film:

“I’m having the most fun ever, more fun than I imagined myself having,” she told PEOPLE. “This is completely glamorous. This is nothing like I thought my life would be heading towards.” ”I just got my second movie offer. It’s a little too soon to talk about it but I am really excited about it because I’m an actress now.”
