About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Can somebody explain to me (68,776) (68,782) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Some of you think Mariah is superhuman and almost God like in that she can never make a wrong move or bad decision, newsflash this isn't her first bad decision. There is no denying that Mariah is one of the best vocalist of all time and her song writing skill is next level genius and that she has a really good ear for music and has been responsible for many musical trends and is one of the most influential musicians (in the sense that I've lost count how many singers have credited their career to her music). However I don't get why some of you have a hard time a hard time accepting that she isn't the greatest business woman out there. Infact I feel the artist in her makes her a more emotional and more spontaneous individual than someone who assesses all the pros and cons like a normal business person would. It's not just her, most artistic people aren't always the most business minded. I also find it weird that she still makes weird decisions even after being in the business for so long but I'm not one to think she has a great business mind. She's not God that she is incapable of making mistakes. (Tuesday 29 November 2016; 14:46)

Re: Scapelambing (68,774) (68,777) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Isn't it a little immature for a grown up guy to take pictures with his finger up his nose? Also dahlin' 90% of your posts show how you think Mariah and her whole image is trashy yet you keep coming here and trashing her some more, so aren't you doing the same?

Re: Can somebody explain to me (68,750) (68,757) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter One clue about her master plan lies in the fact that she had allegedly filmed a pilot episode of a reality show based on herself a while back but that was abandoned (maybe it wasn't picked up by any networks) and then she later latched on to Mariah and lo and behold she is now the second (or main) star of MW. Which was initially titled Mariah's Squad and only got renamed when fans started protesting that they don't care about Mariah's staff (aka Stella). Another clue of her trying to kick off her own reality show is that the very first episode of MW has Stella's storyline in the synopsis and it wouldn't be there if her storyline wasn't a highlight. Here's a snippet: "Her cut-throat new manager Stella Bulochnikov hires a new assistant, Molly, to help her out. There are a few ground rules for working for her. 'You’re not allowed to date for the first year of working for myself,' says Bulochnikov, which is bad news for Molly's boyfriend. The second rule is 'you're not allowed to cry in my office'."

Re: Can somebody explain to me (68,748) (68,756) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah I try, I try. I swear sometimes I feel like Stella or Mishka is actually a member of this board. (Monday 28 November 2016; 21:32)

Re: Can somebody explain to me (68,743) (68,747) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wouldn't call someone a lamb if they can't distinguish between "Fantasy" Mariah from "Dreamlover" Mariah. Secondly if being a lamb was the qualification required to be a manager, we'd all be much better options. Lastly, if by "all in" you mean using profanity to respond to rumors or even bother responding to tabloids (which other A-listers wouldn't even bother with), lashing out at fans on social media, reminding fans that her shoes are worth more than their salaries and putting up one "eff you haters/b**ch" posts after another like a teenager, then I can see why you think Stella is doing a stellar job. Also let's not forget that Stella has only lashed out or bothered to respond when her name was dragged through mud or her daughter was called out for messing Mariah's instagram. But kept mum when Mariah's name was dragged through mud and then went ahead and then added more fuel to the fire by leaking ridiculous stories and even more ridiculous photos/videos. So now can you explain to me why you are such a "Stel-lamb"? Or is it "Bulochnovician"? Because as far as I can see, we have only seen one unprofessional step after another.

Re: Oprah (68,700) (68,706) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Crustella, "I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke singer." (Saturday 26 November 2016; 19:22)

Re: Thanksgiving pics with Nick and the kids (68,671) (68,673) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes those pictures are precious and I love that even though Mariah is stubborn about many things (some good some bad) she puts aside her ego for the kids and makes it a point to involve Nick in the major festivities in their lives. Also admire her inviting over Nick's mom, wish her own mom was around too, I hope they are on good terms. I am also so done with that darn turban haha, like Nick please stop. But all in all, happy to see them all together. (Friday 25 November 2016; 9:45)

Re: Ellen (68,656) (68,663) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Let's be real, no one "linked" Mariah's dancer to her. The whole link up originated from her own camp. With all the leaked videos of them looking cozy and him wearing her robe and her pouring drink over his shirtless body. If that wasn't enough they then explicitly played up this "he has a crush on her" storyline for the show and then used it for the official trailer. As for no boundaries, would you blame Tanaka for shadowing Mariah if Mariah is paying him to do so and also in the mean time he is getting free publicity? Lastly, as much as it is Ellen's job, it is also Mariah's teams job to let Ellen know in advance about the minimum things she absolutely needs to address on the show. Which as we have seen lately doesn't happen at all because in all the shows she goes on, her projects are mentioned almost as an after thought. Her team should have also informed Ellen that Mariah wouldn't play the game in advance so they wouldn't waste time on that and instead focus on a more substantial interview. As far as I heard, Leah Remini came right after Mariah and she sold her 8 part documentary pretty well. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 21:33)

Re: Ellen appearance (68,638) (68,646) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I don't get why she can't just for once let loose and have fun. Just play the game, no one will force you to hook up with these people. Also same goes for her other recently aired interviews. The ones with Access Hollywood, E entertainment and Mario Lopez. She looked bored, annoyed and down right disinterested. Plus whenever they ask about her show, it's always "you have to see, there are moments". Like I get it, you don't want to reveal everything but at least give a little info. Even thriller tv series casts and crews give out more info than this. There is another interview coming up and the interviewer tweeted that she talked with Mariah about diamonds for a long time, whereas she didn't even bring up any diamond related question. So I guess the interviewer will ask her something and she will go off tangent and start blabbering about diamonds again. And then she will be surprised that people think she is dramatic and over the top. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 14:57)

Re: Ellen interview (68,640) (68,645) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is the first time I felt that Ellen got a little annoyed at Mariah. Usually they have great chemistry and one can tell that they are good friends in real life. This time Ellen was a little distant. Wake up Mariah, wake up. Only people on your pay roll think that's a cute look. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 14:50)

Re: Will Mariah's popularity recover or are Lambs just old? (68,643) (68,644) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No lies detected. Completely agree with eveything you wrote. My views exactly. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 14:48)

Re: Mariah was pretty open (68,636) (68,637) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter When you say "pretty open" you imply that she revealed at least some things. What question did she answer directly exactly? I mean I'm not even counting the Packer question because I don't need to know that, it's her life but apart from that what question was answered directly? I'd like to know. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 12:43)

Re: Ellen interview (68,620) (68,624) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah said the person who took the picture is "related to her manager". She said she won't mention the name. If it was anyone else like Stella herself or Liana, she would have mentioned their name or designation. However since Mishka is a 13 year old. Mariah probably had the sense to not mention that she had a 13 year old in the bathroom. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 1:10)

Re: Ellen interview (68,619) (68,623) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol Ellen was having none of that unnecessary Aspen hot tub story. She just went ahead and closed the segment. As it should be, I don't get why Mariah always has to ramble on about unrelated stuff. Ellen just asked for a picture, just say yes and move along. (Thursday 24 November 2016; 1:08)

Re: Will Mariah's popularity recover or are Lambs just old? (68,604) (68,613) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't bother. If they think going down the Kardashian route is best for Mariah, let them live in that bubble. But to later complain that Mariah doesn't get the respect she deserves as an artist is not going to work anymore. If they want Mariah to go down the Kardashian publicity stunt mode, they should accept that Mariah will be treated the way the Kardashians are. Also I'd like to know in what sense Mariah's instagram is "popping". Clearly I've been looking at some other profile then you because all I see are low quality, blurry messy and sometimes soft porn posts. At least take from the Kardashians here and make better posts. Lastly I really find it interesting how some people indirectly try to defend Stella and Mishka here more than Mariah herself. Stella, Mishka, Liana, are you guys lurking the board darlings?

Stills from Ellen appearance (68,608) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Robe moment. Next we have the strip moment. Mariah giving TEOM vibes. Mix of TEOM and E=MC2 actually. Mariah with Ellen. (Wednesday 23 November 2016; 18:17)

Ellen interview (68,605) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the link to the Ellen interview. As usual, pointless interview where we don't really learn anything. She doesn't go into details about Packer (which is fine, that is her personal life), she doesn't mention any of the things she is there to promote. Like what did she go to promote? MW? Beacon? Diva's Live? Her MAC collection? The SSFT shows? New songs? No one knows. I really don't get it. Plus again, no performances. That bath tub photo explanation was so next level untrue that I just can't. Seriously Mariah? Your manager's "relative" *cough* Mishka *cough* can just walk into your bathroom at 4 am? No boundaries? You complain that your kids don't let you bathe alone but it's fine for random new comers to just go in and take pictures? Which she apparently said no to, yet made their way on her social media? She must really think we're quite the stupid bunch. Also where is that alleged body suit? Because we can damn near see her boobs in it's entirety and still no sign of the bodysuit or the straps. Honestly, the only good thing about the interview was she looked great, very TEOM era, but that's about it. But I guess we are in a time where shallow things are all that matters.

Re: Will Mariah's popularity recover or are Lambs just old? (68,589) (68,590) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No. (Wednesday 23 November 2016; 13:27)

Re: New pics? (68,568) (68,586) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I went away for a day and come back to so much drama, freaking love this board. Gearing up for the Access Hollywood interview where she supposedly addresses her "break up" and new "hook up". Quotation marks for both since I don't buy either. Plus I'm sure the responses won't be straight forward just a "dahlin' it's bleak, it's bleaK". Then we also have Ellen and the first show in Hawaii. 3 things in 1 day. Festive day for the lambs. Happy Thanksgiving to you dahlin' and everyone else on the board. (Wednesday 23 November 2016; 8:01)

Re: Who is afraid of Virginia Wolfe? (68,541) (68,556) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Need details on that "interesting encounter" haha. (Tuesday 22 November 2016; 7:52)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey recording breakup album after split (68,517) (68,519) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Portrait of a Lonely Songbird... On the Yacht of Broken Dreams", BIll, I just can't with you. Is it bad that I actually want her to go about the more happy route with music now and release more up-tempo songs that people can have a good time to? Don't get me wrong, I'm completely here for signature Mariah ballads but her last album was kinda like a break up album so I want the next to be more of a return of the confident, independent, fun loving woman. A blend of TEOM and E=MC2. To balance out the sorrow and joy. Either that, or go straight up "Butterfly". (Sunday 20 November 2016; 23:56)

Re: Makeup collection (68,514) (68,518) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She has a special blend of skin care products as far as I remember. She said someday she'll sell it. I too think it's fine for her to have side projects but stuff that are closer to who she is like Lila pointed out with the make up, lingerie and jewellery line. She can maybe also team up with a well known shoe company and have a shoe line out. I know she had one for HSN, but I'm talking about hi-fashion house brand names. (Sunday 20 November 2016; 23:45)

New Pics (68,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah at Catch LA for DJ Khaled's party. Nicki Minaj was also present but no pictures together. Mariah looking flawless, the outfit, not so much. A little group shot. (Sunday 20 November 2016; 16:47)

Re: Mariah's clone (68,506) (68,508) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah would be not want a body double because she'd feel threatened haha, sorry don't kill me. But the woman basically said "Why would I have girls up on stage with me?" But jokes aside the reason she looks so different in the meet and greet and concerts because she wears much more harsh make up because of the stage lights and production and picks the ugliest wigs. So that's why she looks less like herself, but while when she's out and about, she goes for much natural makeup and her real hair so she looks quite different. She had this harsh makeup streak earlier this year because she was filming the reality show and with all the lights and all she went for harsh makeup that's why during the candids during that time her face and hair looked quite harsh but in the promos they look more normal.

Re: Click like on this if you won't be watching MW (68,485) (68,489) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow with big fans like you as well as many others who have said recently that they are calling it quits with Mariah or considering to just not bother with her new work, it really seems like her career is suffering a major blow. This is what I was scared of. Mariah is isolating what's left of her fan base and she has gone from this girl who didn't fit in and people could relate to, to this over the top, extra dramatic, diva. It's like the image she created has swallowed her and now she is nothing but materialistic stuff. It honestly is sad because I could always proudly say how Mariah is above these publicity stunts, and nip slips and fake relationship crap that all the other celebs need and I was happy that she managed to be so successful based solely off her talent. She didn't need gimmicks, she didn't need dancers and lights to distract people. All she had to do was get on stage and sing her heart out. How times have changed. With James finally leaving, now Mariah has no one around her except for people on her pay roll. Her kids are young so they can't guide her. But right now, she has nothing but vultures around her who will feed her ego while they get their money and the lifestyle. But it's also true that no matter how much I blame Stella, it was Mariah's decision to hire her. Maybe we just have to accept that this is what Mariah wants, because no one can tell me that a woman with 26+ years experience in the show business and having seen it all (professionally and personally) would fail to make a decision about who to hire as a manager. Like she wouldn't hire Stella, a reality show producer with zero management experience, to run the career of her, a singer, if that's not what she wanted. Maybe this is what she wants, but she finds it easier to blame the team with her "oh I didn't wanna do it, my team kinda made me do the show" thing. Hard to accept but oh well.
