Don’t Ask Mariah Carey About Britney Spears

I watched intently, as Britney Spears was carted out in front of a studio audience for the Fox Upfronts presentation to Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. The 31-year-old stood, without swaying, and recited her lines, and nothing went majorly wrong in the 10-seconds during which she spoke. Except, she remained glassy-eyed and zombified. And there’s a distinct chance she’ll sit in abeyance through the auditions and live shows not even risking further scripted platitudes. I’ve included video from the event and you can watch video of her attempt to think on the spot here. You’ll see what I mean. In any case, don’t ask Mariah Carey who, for reasons unknown, was prodded into giving this response: ‘You think I focus on that stuff? Have we met? I love [Britney], honestly. I think she’s a very nice person, but I don’t care who’s going on that show. As long as it’s not me.’

This Is Very, Very Unfortunate For Mariah Carey

Here’s Mariah Carey performing a season-closing concert at the Ischgl ski resort in Austria where no one’s wearing thicker pants because VPL loses to the more-refined Wookie Wallet (superior to the original wallet). Carey and Nick Cannon renewed their vows in Austria, and Carey stashed a spare wallet under her dress.

People Fat-Shamed Pregnant Mariah Carey Too

People fat-shamed Mariah Carey while she was pregnant with kids who’ve since learned Morse code to communicate with the toddler sucking the life out of Jessica Simpson. The 42-year-old addresses the criticism by basically calling herself a whale who looked full-term for nine months but stopped eating brownies out of the trash when other people said the same. Her Shape interview is below.

Nick Cannon: I Scared People, I Scared Myself

Nick Cannon has given an on-camera interview about WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM??! which should stop the media’s hand-wringing of the past few weeks. Following his wife’s downplaying of the ‘minor’ kidney failure and the discovery of blood clots in his lungs, the general consensus was ‘there’s more to this story than he’s admitting… it’s worse than he’s saying.’ Except it’s exactly as bad as he’s saying because he’s being honest about his health and putting his family first in a new interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts.

‘I scared a lot of people. I scared myself,’ Cannon said. Asked ‘WUT?’ he explained his ailment: ‘The technical term is lupus nephritis. It’s a rare form of lupus that’s just attacking my kidneys. They thought it was just kidney disease and then they were trying to figure out why my immune system was attacking my kidneys and that was sort of the root of it all. My kidneys were in tip-top shape but I started to feel pain again. And because of my schedule and everything, I had a few blood clots in my lungs which then affected my heart as well. A lot of people have passed away from that, and the doctor said, luckily I was in such great shape and taking care of myself, because a lot of people have been taken down by it.’ Cannon has since quit his radio show: ‘I have been ordered to sleep at least six hours a night. They say rest is probably the best medicine. I’m dealing with it. I’m not used to the medicines, but I feel like I’m starting to figure out a lot of holistic ways, meditation and stuff to get through it … the diet is the worst part. I can’t have any fast food anymore… no Happy Meals, nothing.’

Mariah Carey Had Chirren Too, Remember?!

With The Notorious B.I.C taking the monopoly on my ovaries this month, it’s time to throw back some pity love to the babies about whom I’d forgotten since January 7. I already shared this gem on my Facebook and Tom Cruise took out Suri Cruise this weekend. And now Moroccan and Monroe Cannon demand three-minutes of your attention during the commercial break because they’re cute too.

Nick Cannon’s Kidney Failure Was ‘Mild’ PHEW!

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have been in Aspen since the holidays/ NYE. However, they’re stuck there longer than planned after Cannon became ill with kidney failure. His wife stayed by his side, tweeted for sympathy, crammed herself on top of him in his hospital bed, and demoted kidney failure from ‘ZOMG’ to ‘mild’ so it wouldn’t distract from her martyr act. Carey shared this photo on her website, it’s Cannon in bed hooked up to a bunch of monitors, along with the caption: ‘This is us in the hospital… role reversal. Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are. We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.  We’re doing OK but we’re ‘straaaaaanded in Aspen.’ #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.’ ‘Stranded’ in the land of the over-caffeinated 1%. She’s laying next to him and, honestly, he looks less-than-impressed. But she’s nursing him back to health. She’s, like, the prettiest doctor ever. She cured ‘mild’ kidney failure while wearing checked pants and no make-up. IT’S A MIRACLE.
