I Refuse to Believe (or Care) that Mariah Carey Can’t Sing Anymore

The internet is abuzz with news that Mariah Carey has absolutely no ability to sing live after a disastrous televised performance at Rockefeller Center.

I’ll admit that the “true-ue-ue-ue” part of “All I Want For Christmas” sans music sounds like a downed bird being repeatedly stepped and unstepped on, but talent is not something you simply lose one day like a coin in a couch cushion.

I am of the slightly unpopular opinion that Mariah is the best female singer of my generation (suck it, Beyoncé) and would like to defend her honor by saying that she’s no dummy. She made it through the rain with multiple personalities, Glitter and a mustache in Precious. I say she’s pretending to suck so she can make another comeback. It’s a brilliant business plan that you wish you’d thought of. Continue reading “I Refuse to Believe (or Care) that Mariah Carey Can’t Sing Anymore” →

Dog Takes Bikini-Clad Mariah Carey Out For a Walk

Mariah Carey is in Aspen for Christmas and is fulfilling the ancient Anglo-Saxon tradition of walking one’s dog in just a bikini during snowy, 20-degree weather.

No seriously, this is a tradition. Instagram says so. America’s Got Talent is over, but I guess Nick Cannon found some other excuse to not pose next to her in a thin red banana hammock. We all know Mariah’s second-favorite thing after Christmas is shaming her husband.

She went so far as to call herself the female version of Will Ferrell’s character in Elf on Watch What Happens Live!

“I’m him, but the girl version of the character!” the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” singer said. “I’m like a five-year-old, I’m the kid still waiting for snow.” Continue reading “Dog Takes Bikini-Clad Mariah Carey Out For a Walk” →

Mariah Carey Shares Popular Opinion That Nick Cannon’s Music is a Joke

Mariah Carey‘s first born Nick Cannon told reporters at a VMA after-party that his wifey for lifey doesn’t take his music seriously.

“She thinks my music is a big joke,” he said, laughing (because people laugh when things are true). “But so do I so it doesn’t matter … My music is silly, you know what I mean, she makes anthems that changes people’s lives.”

While I’d have to argue that “Touch My Body” didn’t exactly cause me to have eye-opening peyote tent visions, it does make his song “Gigolo” from 2003 with R. Kelly look like an even bigger reason to flush and light a match.

Me remembering and even singing the line “I’m a gigolo, spending lots of dough” around my apartment makes me wonder if I qualify for electroshock therapy. Continue reading “Mariah Carey Shares Popular Opinion That Nick Cannon’s Music is a Joke” →

‘Good Morning America’ Anchor Prevents Mariah Carey Wardrobe Malfunction

I remember reading or watching an interview where Mariah Carey said she requires 12 or 13 hours of sleep. (This of course makes us kindred spirits.)

So Mariah didn’t maybe get her full 13 on not-so Good Morning America today and that caused her to swear on live TV. Nothing serious, just a little “Oh sh*t” as she was being introduced. Shortly after, the back of her Versace dress broke. In a true act of feminism, life-saving GMA anchor Lara Spencer held Mariah’s strap up so no one would see the goods. #WomenHelpingWomen

What a marvelous avoidance of disaster. Coincidence that this occurred almost three years after Nicki Minaj introduced us to her entire areola on the exact same show? I think not. Continue reading “‘Good Morning America’ Anchor Prevents Mariah Carey Wardrobe Malfunction” →

Nick Cannon is Mariah Carey’s Easter Bitch

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey‘s most embarrassing moment by far came to us on Easter Sunday via Mariah’s Instagram and I keep wondering if she tricked him into it, or if he volunteered.

I can see her saying “Honey, let me lay on top of you with a glass of champagne” without mentioning that she’d be wearing sexy bunny ears while he went full White Rabbit in a children’s production of Alice in Wonderland.

Nick is Mariah’s bitch all year round, but we only see proof on holidays. (He’ll be wearing a diaper and holding a silver rattle by Mother’s Day.)

Jimmy Fallon and Mariah Carey Team Up To Save The Holidays With ‘All I Want For Christmas’

Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey and The Roots are The Avengers of December, teaming up to save Christmas from two Grease stars who almost square dance-stomped the shit out of our collective holiday spirit.

I’m talking about the genius of the classic “All I Want For Christmas” with a quirky Fallon twist versus the Grinchy sadness of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John’s “I Think You Might Like It.” One makes me want to clap my joyous hands together, the other makes me want to clap them over my ears. Both feature John Travolta and Mariah Carey in their natural habitat.

Mariah Carey Doesn’t Change Her Kids’ Diapers

SHOCKER – Mariah Carey has probably never changed either of her children’s diapers, but it’s don’t get it wrong, it’s not like it never gets done.

House slave Nick Cannon tells Anderson Cooper that he’s cool with it and just snaps on some industrial strength hand covers and goes to town.

I imagine Mariah being too much of a diva to do more than set her twins in front of a garden hose for a few minutes, so this is probably a good thing, plus, I’ve learned from those Charmin’ commercials that bears are especially prone to IBS.

“I mean we all do it but for some reason I get that duty a little bit more. I am not scared of it. I go in, I put the gloves on,” Cannon explained. Continue reading “Mariah Carey Doesn’t Change Her Kids’ Diapers” →

Of Course Barack Obama Listens To Nicki Minaj

Our current president enjoys pro and college football and basketball, was born in Hawaii, says “uhhh” a lot and likes rap music. (In 2010 he told Rolling Stone that he enjoys Jay-Z, Nas, and Lil’ Wayne.) These are things that I know to be true about him.

Add Nicki Minaj to the list of music Obama works out to. After being asked about the feud between Nicki and Mariah Carey on American Idol, he responded:

“I think that they are going to be able to sort it out. I am confident. I am all about bringing people together. Working for the same cause. So, I think that both outstanding artists are going to be able to make sure that, you know, they’re moving forward and not going backwards.” Continue reading “Of Course Barack Obama Listens To Nicki Minaj” →

‘American Idol’ Judge Fight, Round One – Nicki Minaj Vs. Mariah Carey

Nicki Minaj brought Queens, New York to American Idol during an audition in Charlotte where she said she refuses to put up with “her royal fucking highness” Mariah Carey, who she also calls “boring as fuck.”

See and hear it for yourself over at TMZ. There’s a partially audible video of Nicki going crazy, saying things like “if you say one more disrespectful thing to me … off with your head!”

During an argument that began over a contestant’s performance in North Carolina, Carey’s cool-headed attitude only seemed to send Nicki into more of a full-force, highly escalated rage. Continue reading “‘American Idol’ Judge Fight, Round One – Nicki Minaj Vs. Mariah Carey” →

Spin magazine offered a look into the lives and personal experiences of tour bus drivers. Some discussed the wildness of the 80’s and early 90’s compared to the health-conscious musicians of today, while others talked about the weird things they found lying around.

Many notable artists were mentioned, short descriptions or not, we all love insider information about celebrities.

You will not be surprised to hear that Matisyahu is nice and the guys from Creed act entitled. Here are some highlights:

On finding a giant machine gun: “Don’t think I’m going to make up your bed when you’ve got a machine gun under it. I came across a big-ass machine gun, like, ‘What the hell is this?’ And this was a nice rapper, nobody who had to worry about all this. I mean, who you going to shoot with that anyway?”

Happy Glittery Butter[fly] Birthday Mariah Carey!

Mariah Carey turned 42 today. Her first album ever, the self-titled debut that contained “Someday” and “Vision Of Love” was released 22 years ago, in 1990.

Since then we’ve seen her at her best and worst. Her pricey wedding to manager Tommy Mottola that supposedly included no less than 50 flower girls.

The millionth clue that her mental age doesn’t come close to matching her actual years on earth – the time she surprised Carson Daly on TRL, stripping and handing out ice cream to audience members. Continue reading “Happy Glittery Butter[fly] Birthday Mariah Carey!” →
