Re: Bryan Tanaka (62,507) (62,513) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya that is true. I don't know where Ty got the idea that he is gay. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 11:23)

May (62,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Congratulations on the new baby May. Lovely news. Also it's great to see you posting again. (Sunday 22 May 2016; 10:07)

Re: New pictures (62,480) (62,485) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly I don't know what place Mariah is at nowadays. With her having a 13 year old as a BFF and signing off on a "docu-series" which is starting to sound more and more like a reality show and then her being uber raunchy with her back up dancers off stage, at private parties. I just want her to go back to doing what she was known and famous for in the first place. Her beautiful songs, with the beautiful melodies and great lyrics. I know you and some others are not as anti-Stella as I am, but I guess their (bad) company is rubbing off on her. I would be a lot more supportive of Stella if she didn't hound Mariah with her entire family and friends. Her dad was all over the tour with Mariah. Her friends are handling Mariah's legal and financial issues, her daughter is handling Mariah's social accounts (something that is the only way she can really get in touch with her fans without getting mobbed).

Re: Bryan is not a love interest, he's gay (62,483) (62,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Neither Bryan nor Anthony Burrell is gay. Bryan had a girlfriend while he was touring with Mariah. Casper is dating JLo now. He is a back up dancer he's not gay. Britney and Kevin, Ariana and that donut licking backup dancer/boyfriend. Seriously how many celebs do we know who hooked up with their back up dancers? I am not saying Mariah is dating Bryan but I find it funny people just assume that back up dancers are gay.

Re: Is Mariah secretly dating Bryan Tanaka? (62,468) (62,477) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope not. Bryan is absolutely gorgeous though so I can't blame her if she has a little crush, but she should know better than to date a young guy again, especially one that is not on her success level. That will be a Nick Cannon situation again. I was wondering why Bryan was in London for Prince Azim's birthday when Mariah didn't have a performance and also why he is always taking videos of Mariah for his snap chat. All these remind me of that crazy conspiracy theory I laughed at a while back where someone or an article was talking about how Stella is trying to get Packer out of the picture haha. I know that's stupid and not true. But Mariah should still be wiser and think about her choices. At the end of the day she should just do what makes her happy, but I hope she doesn't make a drastic decision. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 15:11)

Mariah's IG (62,473) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha does Mariah really know that this picture was posted on her own Instagram? Not the best shot, in fact everyone looks blurry and not ready except Mishka. I think the little one forgot it's not her Instagram but Mariah's. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 10:03)

Re: New pictures (62,462) (62,472) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I couldn't tell if that is Prince Azim himself or some friend but the party was Prince Azim's. And I don't think James was in the limo because he didn't go to London. Or atleast there were no photos of him arriving with Mariah or at the party. He probably stayed back in the US like he usually does. (Saturday 21 May 2016; 9:40)

Re: Mariah's World (62,441) (62,454) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter When people ask Mariah about her docuseries in her recent appearances, she usually is very vague about it and gives brief answers. Why even do a promo round if you will not talk about your project? She should have a sort of description memorized so that she can say it on the shows. I do hope it is a classy docuseries and not a ratchet reality show. But Stella really isn't classy so I don't know what she'll do with the show since she is Mariah's only companion now, her behavior will influence Mariah a lot. (Friday 20 May 2016; 19:44)

Re: Yes, you do know her (62,425) (62,433) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter There were no contradictory stories on Wendy and Cohen. On Cohen she was asked "whose show would you rather go to" she said "Britney because she dances". She had to pick one, she made her choice. It was a hypothetical question, she didn't go to the shows yet. On Wendy she had already gone to the shows and said she didn't go to see Mariah because of her scheduling conflicts. So where is the contradiction? As for Nicki, I can agree with you that she didn't have to compliment her but then why not just plead the fifth? Andy asked her if she wants to plead the fifth on that question and she went on a rant about how one should remain "above the fray" and not be "déclassé". If she didn't feel like answering it she has a clear option, because either ways she didn't answer so just take the plead the fifth option. She goes on these unnecessary rants (like the one about Andy being cool) and then messes up. Just give straight answers and get done with it. The extra parts are what gets her into trouble nowadays. Look I love Mariah and I love how articulate she is when writing her lyrics but her interviews are mostly messy nowadays (I said mosty, not always). She will hide her face, fix her hair, say stuff that is not required, swing around on the chair and all that. She has the power to dictate what she will and will not discuss in an interview but her projection of the over the top diva has almost completely started overshadowing her incredible talent. (Friday 20 May 2016; 14:34)

Re: TMZ (62,421) (62,424) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I did see it. She pretended like she was checking her phone but would look up every now and then. Stella is really pushing this habit. I don't get why Mishka is in every single video/photo shot with Mariah. On Stella's Instagram there is even a picture of Mishka sitting on the chair Mariah sat on for Cohen's show. Then do you really think TMZ cares about the details of a Bar Mitzvah? Of course it has been fed to them by Stella to get her child known by the public. She even included pictures of what happened inside the party and Mishka being brought out on a chaise lounge like Mariah. These really makes me wonder what her agenda is for taking up Mariah as a client. They seem like a thirsty bunch, hungry for fame. I am waiting for the announcement of a spin off after Mariah's world "Mishka's World". (Friday 20 May 2016; 10:16)

Re: Mariah's World (62,420) (62,423) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow seriously? This is exactly what we don't need right now. Thanks for the article Mara, this part "It was symbolic of what the show is about: voyeurism and extravagant behavior," said Mediahub svp Carrie Drinkwater. "It was perfect: a train-wreck you want to watch" is scaring me. (Friday 20 May 2016; 10:07)

TMZ (62,405) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow Stella is really pushing it, check out this clip from TMZ. Seriously the more I try to give them a chance, the more they give reasons to be suspicious about their agenda. This is the other video. I was talking about where Mishka is constantly grabbing Mariah. (P.S. Sorry Eric, I must have somehow deleted the the link the last time I posted it, thanks for clarifying.)

Re: Media's response to WWHL (62,394) (62,402) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter People in her team encourage her behavior, that's why they caption all their photos with "I don't know her" and "I still don't know her". (Thursday 19 May 2016; 20:05)

Re: Reality show will be a disaster? (62,391) (62,399) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 100% agree with Darren. Relying on diva image, shades and all will only re-establish what the public already thinks (and dislikes) about her. The real Mariah is what people need to see. The singer, the songwriter, the musical genius. I am not saying she should drop the diva act completely, it's fun but in small doses. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 18:08)

Re: Yes, you do know her (62,384) (62,396) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The Nicki shade was unnecessary because she herself said that the fight was the fault of the show runners. And Nicki has always praised Mariah even after the fight. There is nothing wrong in just giving general compliments to a person. She doesn't have to be besties with them. The JLo thing could also have ended by just saying "I know who she is but I don't know her on a personal level." If JLo was petty by saying "Mariah is forgetful" then Mariah didn't need to be petty as well, then where is the difference? JLo did say she is a fan many times but there is only so many times she can be asked "why does Mariah disregard your existence" and keep calm. Mariah also didn't need to add the "If someone asks me about you, I would say I don't know him but he seems cool." This just paved the way for Andy to ask "Do you think JLo is cool?" To sum it up, this interview could have permanently stopped the JLo-Nicki-Madonna topic if she just gave straight answers. Also I too sometimes feel like Mariah has drowned into her diva-dom and in the process the real Mariah has not only taken a back seat, it has been shifted to the trunk of the car. There is a reason most of Mariah's interviews recently are about her flashy lifestyle and her diva reputation. She has time and again highlighted her diva act over her music so now people focus on that. Even if they don't she brings it up herself. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 18:01)

Re: WWHL (62,382) (62,383) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh thanks Licia and M. I must have mistakenly heard "reel" instead of "reveal". It makes sense if he said "she was into the trailer reveal". JLo must be on the phone now with her manager like "When are we getting my docu-series (not reality show) on E. Must not be a more than a month after Mariah, you hear me?" Haha just kidding. Thanks for clearing the confusion guys. (Thursday 19 May 2016; 14:18)

WWHL (62,378) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Does anyone know what Andy meant when he said "She seemed into the teaser reel for your series" about JLo to Mariah? Did JLo say anything about Mariah's show? (Thursday 19 May 2016; 12:33)

Re: WWHL random observation (62,348) (62,352) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I saw some tension there. She was caught off guard. Probably didn't expect it and didn't know how to react. I almost thought she'll start blushing because she was trying hard to dismiss it by saying "I don't know who was on which side". Ya right Mariah. (Wednesday 18 May 2016; 20:29)

Some recent pictures (62,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah for WWHL. With the drag Mariah impersonators. This and this are from her adventures out and about NY. This is her leaving from the taping of Access Hollywood show. Side note: Eric why was the video I posted in post 62,300 erased? Was the link broken or was the video against the rules in anyway? Genuine question. Just wanted to know so that I don't make the same mistake again. [Webmaster: There wasn't a link in message 62,300. Maybe you forgot?] (Wednesday 18 May 2016; 20:11)

Re: No shade, just an observation (62,342) (62,345) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter A good reason for that may be her lack of sleep. Lack of sleep combined with stress and jet lag/adjusting to different time zones can lead to puffing up the face. But her face has slimmed down a lot compared to what it was last year. Once she gets back to her Norma routine, it'll get fine. (Wednesday 18 May 2016; 17:35)

Re: WWHL (62,343) (62,344) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya being late on a live TV show is never cool. She gets late on stage, that's fine. So do some other artists but live TV? Bad move, quite unprofessional and I didn't watch the full episode but apparently she didn't apologize for it neither did she offer any excuses. Do you happen to have a link for the full episode M? (Wednesday 18 May 2016; 17:29)

WWHL (62,334) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Slight improvement from "I don't know her" to "It's not like I don't know who she is, of course I do, but that wasn't the question." Baby steps haha but we are getting there. Oh and JLo had better watch out, Mariah heard about her "she is forgetful" comment and she was definitely pissed about it. (Wednesday 18 May 2016; 10:20)

Re: Upcoming Mariah appearances (62,322) (62,331) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha well at first I was like "Why is she in a night gown?", but then I realized they are doing a pajama party theme because Kelly and Jussie were dressed in pajamas. So I am guessing they had a theme. (Wednesday 18 May 2016; 10:03)
