Quotable: Extra Push-Ups Helped Nick Cannon Woo Mariah
Mariah Carey And Nicki Minaj Want You To Get Up Out Their Faces
Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are the new Beyonce and Lady Gaga — or something like that. Either way, they want you to “Get Up Out My Face.” Friendly! Oddly, this video reminds me of a Target Christmas commercial. Also, I like me some Nicki Minaj, but this is her going a little soft on me. I’ll try and overlook it. My favorite part is when Madame Butterfly attempts to free herself from her oversized Barbie packaging and falls over. Don’t miss the Mr. Mariah Carey (aka Nick Cannon) cameo with a marching band at the end! It’s, um, not to be missed. Keep reading »

A Soused Mariah Carey Gives An Acceptance Speech
For those of you who want to yack at cutesy, faux-surprised award show acceptance speeches (still irritated over that Julia Roberts one 10 years ago), Mariah Carey accepting the Breakthrough Actress Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival must have seemed like a breath of fresh (and probably drunk) air. First Mariah hugs her presenter for an uncomfortably long time, before making a joke about kittens/cotton. Then she says, “Please forgive me, because I’m a little bit, um …” Aww, I think this is sweet. [SF Gate]

Quotable: Mariah Carey’s Tight Pants Collection Started Early
“I have had very low self-esteem my whole life. When I was 12 or 13, I remember walking up the driveway, and this guy who was 20 — which may have been highly inappropriate — said to me, ‘I like your pants,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, that looks good? Oh, OK, I will wear tight pants now.’”

Quickies: Lady Gaga As Her Natural Self & Mariah Carey Is Denied Doves And Kittens
- Lady Gaga, four years ago performing at NYU under her birth name and in her bare feet, stuns the judges with talent. They loved how she can “blow, sing, and tickle the keys.” [NYU Local] — Love it.
- A New York bride sued her wedding photographer for posting semi-nude pictures of her on his professional website after she explicitly told him not to photograph her while she denuded. [Gothamist] — Strange. And I’m happy my photographer was awesome.
- The maid café trend in Japan is here to stay and competition is really fierce for the 217 eateries, where things keep getting crazier and crazier. [CNNGo]

10 Stars Who Seriously Misbehaved This Halloween
Of course we get the real dirt a few days after the big night. Apparently, Mariah Carey and Rihanna had a diva-off on Halloween. Even though Mariah was hosting the party, Rihanna didn’t pay her regards to the songstress, a witness said. And Rihanna’s tiger costume required a security guard to hold up the tail, while Mariah needed six guards to clear a path to the bathroom so her angel wings didn’t get tousled. Sheesh. [NY Post]

(Another) Quote Of The Day: Mariah Carey’s Wardrobe In “Precious” Made Her Feel Rancid
“I felt completely rancid! With the music industry, it’s very like ‘Oh, she’s got a hair out of place! Go fix it!’ You know what I mean? And so this was such a liberating experience and yet humiliated me. But I needed that. We all need that. We all need to understand how to be humble, and it’s a difficult business to do that in.” [People]
—Mariah Carey, on her uber-unglamorous role as a social worker in the movie “Precious.” Seriously, it wasn’t until the second time I saw the trailer that I even realized it was her.

We Can’t Wait To See “Precious”
On paper, the new movie “Precious” doesn’t sound like much fun: It’s the story of a 350-pound, illiterate black teenager impregnated for the second time by her dad and physically and verbally abused by her mom. It’s enough to send a girl galloping into the next showing of lighter fare like “Couples Retreat”! But the film industry buzz for “Precious”—from the illustrious Cannes Film Festival to this week’s cover of The New York Times Magazine — says the film is not to be missed. There’s even buzz about an Oscar for Mo’Nique, who stars as Precious’ monstrous mother, as well as accolades for the rest of the cast, including Mariah Carey, Paula Patton, Gabby Sidibe, and Lenny Kravitz.
