Mariah Carey is one of the most disastrously stupid celebrities I have ever seen in my entire life but us biracials never had that many role models to look up to in the 90s but she has bomb rear end titties so my mind has always been in constant conflict about her.

My mom really wanted me to be a fan of hers when I was a kid because she's mixed like me and my brothers but even when I was 12 I knew she was stupid as hell...but she tries so please pray for her

if you're unsure about this here is splendid tweet of hers that made me go walk outside and take a break from social media from a bit

I couldn’t give a poo poo about her, but that live version of Vision of Love she did on SNL in like 1990 made the hair stand up on my neck. And looking at it now LOL at what she looks like: a totally ordinary ok looking girl in an oversized jean jacket. She should have stayed plain but talented.

I like that song but I never saw that version before. That is kinda cool to see where she started from. I think if being glamorous makes you happy you should do what you feel like but I think most celebrities do it out of obligation. Mariah is one of the most talented vocalists of all time but she definitely has her share of personal struggles/mental health issues. Most great musicians do tbh

That performance is on youtube btw (bootleg quality at least)

Shake It Off is the best goddam break-up song on the planet (edging out The World Has Turned by Weezer), and whenever I bring it up people always say “you mean by Taylor Swift” and then by the time I’ve finished bludgeoning them to death the video is done buffering and I listen to it like 10 times in a row.

I can’t listen to it right now because I have a girlfriend and if I listen to it I’m gonna get so hype on breaking up I might dump this women because Mariah told me to.

Also lol at a gossip blog trying to slut-shame an international sex icon with “you’re Old... and a Mom! Put your boobs away, old mom!”

quote:

Rooney continues, “At this point Mariah had been calling every hour on the hour, wanting to hear something over the phone. Tommy was pissed because Mariah was keeping him up, so he finally got on the phone with O.D.B. — and after that, finally we started to record. He said one line — ‘me and Mariah, go back like babies with pacifiers‘ — then paused, said, ‘Yo, I need to take a break,’ and went to sleep for 45 minutes. He woke up and was like, ‘Yo, let me hear what I did so far.’ We played his one line back, he sang another line or two, and then slept for another hour. He would come up with a line, punch that in, go to sleep. He went to sleep three different times in the middle of trying to get that one verse done. If you listen to the record now, on his verse, you can hear that it’s punched in in pieces. He actually told the engineer, ‘Y’all better have your sh*t set and record it right, cause I’m not doing it twice.'”

I present you the “All I Want for Christmas Index of Holiday Cheer.”

Yes, we can use interest in Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday standard as a proxy for feelings of what we might call holiday cheer.

quote:

AIWFCIY searches are currently trending well ahead of prior years. Interest in the song is currently higher than at any point in the past decade or so for which Google has numbers. Is this because people need more holiday cheer this year, or are they simply feeling more festive? Again, the numbers don’t tell us exactly why they’re searching, but it is clear that this holiday season people need more Mariah in their lives than usual.

You posted a photo with Colin Kaepernick recently, and people were making stupid comments like, “What does she know? She’s white.”

This is how many years later? That ignorance level. When you have a black father and then people are calling you white, and then white people are like, “But her father is black."

What makes something a Mariah song to you?

I don’t know how to define that. I’ve recently started being like, “Oh, I guess that’s very me to do that part right there.” It’ll be a la-la-la or a shoo-do-do or a da-da-da-da-da...

quote:

Tommy [Mottola] had said, “Oh, there’s this movie, and Luther [Vandross] is gonna do a song, and Gloria [Estefan] is gonna do a song. You want to write the song for Gloria?” I said, “Cool,” and then I walked out, went to the restroom, came back, and I came up with the melody and the lyric—[sings] and then a hero comes along—at the same time.

Even when you say the most simple poo poo, like “I don’t know her” about Jennifer Lopez, it gets turned into a never-ending meme.

I really was trying to say something nice or say nothing at all. I really was.

That must be weird, everything being dissected the way it is with you.

How did you survive? I ask because a lot of the megastars who came up just a little bit before you, like George Michael and Whitney Houston, ultimately didn’t.

It’s really about a great support system and working with people who understand and try to create a good environment. Hopefully, those people will also understand stress is really a killer. When we have lost some of our greatest, it’s really taken a toll on me, as someone who grew up watching them and being inspired by them. You mentioned George Michael. I remember before my first album, even in high school, the Faith album, I looked at that and said, “I want to make an album that crosses all these genres.” We had a lot of things in common in terms of record company political stuff. I remember this one dinner that we had. We were both talking about really difficult stuff that we’d been through. And when he passed away on that Christmas, I couldn’t believe it because I thought he would be able to be OK.

Mariah Carey reportedly sues former assistant for blackmailing her with 'intimate,' 'personal' recordings



Mariah Carey has reportedly filed a lawsuit against her old assistant after she allegedly tried to blackmail her with “intimate” and “embarrassing” recordings.

According to TMZ, which allegedly obtained a copy of the lawsuit, Carey is going after Lianna Azarian for recording her “personal activities” and threatening to sell them after she was fired from the singer’s employ in 2017.

THE LOVELY AND TALENTED MARIAH CAREY

Azarian was reportedly hired in 2015 as her executive assistant, which she allegedly quickly took advantage of. Carey’s lawsuit reportedly claims Azarian used her boss’ credit cards without permission to buy personal items and convince retailers that they were for the singer, thus tarnishing her good will to get discounts.

Carey also alleges that, without her knowledge or consent, her assistant filmed video of her “personal activities.” It remains vague as to what’s actually in the recordings, but the suit reportedly “intimate,” “embarrassing” and contain “personal activities.”

MARIAH CAREY DAZZLES IN SPARKLING STRING BIKINI

Despite making an estimated $337,000 a year, Azarian reportedly tried to blackmail $8 million from Carey in exchange for keeping the information private.

TMZ reports that Carey demanded the videos and other evidence of criminal activity be returned to her, but was ignored. She’s reportedly suing for at least $3 million.

Mariah Carey’s Former Personal Assistant Says She Was Held Down And Peed On At Work


Mariah Carey's former personal assistant is hitting back against allegations that she tried to extort the singer by claiming in a lawsuit that she was subjected to verbal and physical abuse, including being peed on, while on the job.

quote:

Included in the allegations filed by Lianna Shakhnazaryan, who also goes by Lianna Azarian, is that Carey’s manager would often yell things at her like "Get that Armenian bitch!" and "Move your fat Armenian rear end!" Carey’s then-manager Stella Bulochnikov also allegedly slapped Shakhnazaryan's breast and on multiple times pushed her to the ground and sat and peed on her.

quote:

Shakhnazaryan said Carey was aware of the conduct and also joined in committing physical, emotional, and psychological attacks. She is suing for sexual battery, discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination.

Carey filed her own lawsuit this week accusing Shakhnazaryan of trying to blackmail her by threatening to release “personally embarrassing and professionally damaging” videos unless the singer paid her $8 million.

According to her 32-page complaint, Shakhnazaryan said she was hired Sept. 21, 2015, to work as Carey’s personal assistant. The job required her to meet constant demands and work around the clock, she said, and she received $328,500 a year in compensation. Shakhnazaryan claims she was also tasked with assisting Bulochnikov.

During that time, Shakhnazaryan alleges Bulochnikov also repeatedly ridiculed her about her breasts and would put iPhones, remote controls, and utensils under them.
