Here are some photos of Mariah Carey yesterday in London. She waited until the light was just right before she left the Corinthia Hotel and happily posed for glamour shots in front of the paparazzi. What do you think they said to her to make her smile? “Mariah, over here! Mariah, you look so thin! Mariah, beautiful, beautiful!”
Mariah has had a busy week. Not only is she in London for some shows, but she’s also just confirmed that she will be filming a reality show, and that they’re shooting footage now. But don’t call it a reality show, darling. That’s so tacky.
It’s official: Mariah Carey is getting her own reality-TV show, or something like that, on the E! channel. The singer confirmed to The New York Times that she’ll be starring in an eight-part documentary series called “Mariah’s World.” Filming for the show began two weeks ago. It will follow Carey on tour in Europe and South Africa and as she plans her wedding to Australian billionaire James Packer. The wedding reportedly will take place this spring, but no date has been set. Carey, who divorced Nick Cannon last year, explains that the series won’t be frivolous or exploitative. “I refuse to call it a reality show,” she told the Times.
She says it’s more about getting to know her better and not, “Here I am, getting my nails done.” She adds that her 4-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, won’t be filmed much. Neither will Packer.
“I thought it would be a good opportunity to kind of, like, show my personality and who I am, even though I feel like my real fans have an idea of who I am,” Carey said. “A lot of people have misperceptions about this and that.”
Sure. I’m absolutely positive that the reality show will feature Mariah being pampered, getting her hair, nails and makeup done and being spoiled generally. I mean, I’ll watch the series just to see how infrequently she walks with her own two feet from Point A to Point B. But Mariah wants to make it sound like she would never do, like, a gauche Keeping Up with the Kardashians type of show. But the comparison can be made, can’t it? I mean, this will air on E! and you know it will be mind-numbingly superficial. Mariah is known for being one of the most high-maintenance divas in the world, so it should be good TV.
TMZ also had some news about Mariah’s upcoming wedding… and keep in mind, she’s still technically married to Nick Cannon, they have not finalized their divorce yet. But Mariah is thinking positive and dreaming of being a billionaire’s wife. Apparently, her wedding plans involve the island of Barbuda, which is where James Packer is building a $250 million resort. The wedding will be this summer, something mid-June probably, and the guest list will be limited.

That coat looks like it was made from the hide of a roadkill albino Bigfoot. Not a good look
I see her and think fur hag: ugly inside and out.
Except that she’s said publicly she only wears faux.
You can tell just looking at it that it’s faux fur even if you don’t know she refuses to wear real furs.
Mariah came from humble beginnings, so I don’t know if this diva attitude of hers is deluded or aspirational …
Ill tune in but it probably isnt anything we havent seen before. Also sidenote: ive always had respect for mariah for not totally messing with her face as she’s gotten older.
Isn’t James Packer still legally married to his first wife too? Do neither of them understand what bigamy is?
I feel like Mariah maybe needs the money.
she certainly needs a new stylist.
In every photo I’ve seen of her since she met up with Packer–not that I follow her closely–she looks a lot more pulled together and her boobs are not about to fall out of her dress. A vast improvement, I would say, though, yes, a stylist could improve things further!
Mariah always seems like a woman child to me. I like her songs mostly; but I just never got the interest in the things that she does.
Woman child is the perfect description for Mariah.
It’ll probably be more like Katy Perry or Beyonce behind the scenes. She is a Las Vegas act now. But the champagne and caviar dreams will be epic.
UGH! Another reality show.
Like Elmo’s World but more scripted
HAHAHAHA! Does she have her own Mr. Noodle?
She is such a caricature, how can you not love Mimi. Remember her working on a stair master in Manolos and some bandage dress on cribs? That show will be a hilarious comedy. I’ll watch.
I like the lady behind her. Her face is priceless.
For the reality: BAD idea imo.
I would watch Marian’s show anytime over the Kardashians.
An 8 part reality show on the awesomeness of Mariah Carey and her cleavage. I doubt I’ll watch.
I’m so excited for this show! I love how she’s a full time diva. I am mystified by why she hates walking while simultaneously being impressed her commitment to staying off her feet.
all right mr demille, i’m ready for my closeup
If I am at home sick with something someday and making hot toddies and eating graham crackers like a wood chipper, I will watch this. It would go great with a fever dream.
