About RibbonB from USA: I love Mariah's Music.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey enjoys intimate dinner with backup dancer (67,891) (67,892) by RibbonB from USA She seems to be on auto-pilot to sillyville. But I'm sure Stella and crew are rolling tape to get all of this for the reality show. Lol. I read someone's comments on TMZ, that "she is only half way through a ten story package", so they must have them lined up from now until the show airs. Please keep me informed of how the show does because I can't actually watch it. Give me a heads up if Roc and Roe will be on the show, I might check in for that. I hope she is OK.

Moral of the story (67,884) by RibbonB from USA Is that marriage and relationships take effort and compromise on both sides. M. is a diva, but she can't expect that men are going to do her bidding and be around her all the time, even when she has allegedly had bf's on the payroll she never got what she really wanted. I wish she would take time to work on herself and allow some transition periods for both herself and her children. And I have no doubt that entourages should not be a part of your family times. Mariah and Nick did seem to have some good family moments and they selectively shared pieces of their family time. Now, we are getting fed all manner of mess, that is probably not even real, but that makes her look in a bad light. She hates bad lighting, but seems to be basking in bad florescent reality show lighting for the past 12 months or so. (Thursday 3 November 2016; 5:33)

Re: Clear up rumors (67,882) (67,883) by RibbonB from USA Supposedly TMZ got the prenup Mariah was to sign with James. She did not sign, but is supposedly guaranteed her 50 million if they broke up. They were to have married in March 2016, even if it was just a fake/symbolic ceremony. Mariah did not sign this prenup, even though she kept complaining that Nick wouldn't sign their divorce papers. The irony is if she had signed the prenup, she would be entitled to that 50 million dollars. James has a history of supplying properties to his ex wives and ex girlfriends/fiances. In 1998 he left his then fiance a property and he left both ex wives with properties. The gag on Mariah is she sold the property that she and Nick bought together in Bel Air sometime in 2015 because she didn't like living in LA. She loved Nick and had his children, but she seems to like things to go her way and her not being in LA caused extended separations for her family. She agreed to live in LA this time so that James could be closer to his children, probably because he was paying her bills. Well now, she should probably just go back to NYC. She may have a cause to get some money from JP though, but she should have kept her business private, if the TMZ prenup is real. (Thursday 3 November 2016; 5:26)

Re: Mariah wearing a hat (67,861) (67,864) by RibbonB from USA Lol, she could still do something very high glam and haute couture. Classy couture would be everything. (Wednesday 2 November 2016; 17:13)

Mariah wearing a hat (67,859) by RibbonB from USA I love this old picture of Mariah wearing a black hat looking over her shoulder. I wish she would wear one on her next CD cover. Something high glam and haute couture. I hope she gives her very best this next time. (Wednesday 2 November 2016; 15:51)

Re: Leave the kids out of it (67,842) (67,855) by RibbonB from USA Don't you think M. is intentionally playing games and seeking attention with this Bryan angle? This is opinion, nobody is stating it as facts, but it is a fact that she has been highlighting him all this year and especially now that she has broken up. Mariah has been friends with Trey Lorenz and MaryAnn as her background singers since almost the beginning of her career, but I can't recall seeing any pictures of them with her children and barely in any social settings. M. needs a new co star of the show and yes it may be revealed as something purely platonic, but they shouldn't associate her children with him in any way, to get press for this reality show. M. doesn't seem to care how this makes her look and it is what it is, but she should leave her kids out of these moments. To me it is about generally showing respect for her children and showing them proper boundaries. M. has had a total changeover of teams involved in her children's lives, umpteen bodyguards, two relationships, one real and the other alleged. They make constant adjustments, but M. has enough help that she doesn't need the new boy in her reality show to take them trick or treating, just to get attention. (Wednesday 2 November 2016; 15:20)

Re: Leave the kids out of it (67,828) (67,831) by RibbonB from USA I agree. I saw those pics and said I am not going to even bring it up. But since you did, I agree it is tragic that she would allow them to be put in the mix during this time. If she barely told them about remarrying, how does she explain his absence, then another man in the midst of everything. It is just not cool to allow your children to be familiar with so many different men. She is an adult, but they are young children and can barely discern what is or is not going on, but it is bad news to allow children to feel too comfortable and familiar with different people in and out of their lives. When she and Nick were married they used to say that they would be the only ones to even care for their children. My how things change, but Mariah gets new teams, men, friends etc way too often to have the children exposed to them and photographed with them. I have only seen them photographed with Snoop Dogg while they were in Nick's care and that is when he was on Wild N Out once. (Wednesday 2 November 2016; 1:48)

Re: Dark, evil era (67,819) (67,821) by RibbonB from USA She needs to get back to being herself, not what her manager encourages her to be. Here is an interesting read for you and Mimi L. and any other interested parties. It is from Roger Friedman, who used to do a lot of publicity stories when Mariah was with Cindy. He breaks down a lot of the Scientology connection and agrees she is better off out of it now, than later. JP's Scientology dude Tommy is one nasty character, who used to threaten to destroy any of Tom Cruises girlfriends if they upset him. I am sure he doesn't want to tangle with Mariah, but he got his wish to dissolve the arrangement. I definitely hope Mariah lightens up, so to speak and focuses on her music and her children not so much photo ops for the paps. Anyway, we are a week before election, so I'm just going to try to quietly watch what's important and wish for the best regarding Mariah. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 18:31)

Re: Great songs not diss songs (67,818) (67,820) by RibbonB from USA Well this whole stunt is a messy, confusing, flop. Lol she needs to get it together and stop being fake. Stop using people as props and get real. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 18:11)

Great songs not diss songs (67,817) by RibbonB from USA I think the last thing Mariah should do is another diss song. A lot of the songs listed are breakup songs and not true diss songs. But after Infinity, I hope she has learned and will just generally grow up. If anything Mariah should do like Wendy of all people said and just not know him, JP. Why go on about a rebound break up, where she looks like a gold digger who got out played. She never expressed love, soulmate mess towards James while dating and it would be too fake to cry about it in the aftermath and diss songs are so petty. I hope she writes some good universal songs of love, heartbreak, happiness, empowerment not the next "Beth cha gonna wish you had picked me instead of Scientology" diss track, or the next "Stella is the best thing that ever happened my life because I am nothing without her managing to ruin my life", blah, blah, blah. I do hope she rights herself and gets back to her NYC home, that she keeps her kids close to their father for the joint custody and moves on with her life, hopefully out of the Stella created fishbowl of Mariah's World. We live and learn and hopefully she will do better. But, it doesn't look too good right now. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 16:12)

Divorce final? (67,815) by RibbonB from USA Well if TMZ can be believed the divorce is final. Nick supposedly signed the docs just before Mariah set sail to Greece. Obviously the reality of what JP signed on for set in and he bailed. Let's see: ever present, abrasive manager and her whole family always on vacations, diva as wife, always in spotlight, filming a reality show, flirting with her background dancers, the list can go on and on. The only thing M. is allegedly upset about is his unmet promises of financial support. Wow. Well at least if reports are correct, they agreed to joint custody. I wish them all well. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 14:08)

Re: Page Six expose (67,795) (67,798) by RibbonB from USA It is creating drama for Stellar and her reality show. Sends things into a tailspin, so they had to pivot to a new man to focus on and throw this all into the show. Hey, for all we know this has always been a part of the script. I never believed that she would marry a dude with Scientology ties, or that a man that rich and formerly private, would want to be in the Carey spotlight for more than a few months of press. While the lambs are in a little uproar, it is getting surprisingly little press, as I can tell. The bad news, is will things get worse before the show airs? Most people really don't care, or think this is a mess and they just rip M. a new one in the comments sections. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 1:11)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey takes kids for early Halloween dinner (67,780) (67,797) by RibbonB from USA Lol. I thought that was referring to all the crust on her implant enhanced cheek. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 0:56)

Stella Defense League (67,796) by RibbonB from USA Someone should start that or the Stella Archives. But that wouldn't get them the attention that she and they crave so they latch onto Mariah. Ding, ding. Stella can well take care of herself and she shows no shame in her game of being a leech. If comments on Page Six are true and Stella accuses the Scientology dude of influencing or controlling James, then it is highly likely that she could be doing the same to Mariah. She is even in control of Mariah's finances. Let's hope she hasn't drained her bank account. At any rate, she is her "manager" so she deserves all the credit and blame for this current PR fiasco for Mariah. Mariah is getting ripped across the web for this mess and so should her manager, the creator of all that is relevant of Mariah Carey in 2016, or so she claims. (Tuesday 1 November 2016; 0:48)

Page Six expose (67,790) by RibbonB from USA Wow, this version is even juicier. It actually seems more realistic, that Mariah got kicked off the boat in Greece and out of the house. And Stella and her entourage and reality show are to blame plus the spending. Wait until you read what M. allegedly said. Anyway, if his mind wasn't right and she had concerns about Scientology, she should never have agreed to marry him and have him around her children. SMH this is one messy saga. (Monday 31 October 2016; 22:12)

Re: Article: Mariah wants James Packer to buy her an L.A. mansion (67,782) (67,789) by RibbonB from USA Lol yeah and didn't she just sell the Bel Air home that she and Nick had because she didn't want to live in LA. Mariah is doing the most. Mariah should move back to NYC and keep the Bulochnikov's out. Wendy Williams is usually a little mean to Mariah, but she is doing her a favor on this whole story. She just treats it all as jokes. Let's hope the joke really isn't on Mariah after this show airs and the blush settles. (Monday 31 October 2016; 21:58)

Re: New Scientology version (67,773) (67,775) by RibbonB from USA Yes there is a serious side of all this mess. We are using humor to get through it, because so much of it is ridiculous. But ultimately you and I and most others want the best for Mariah and dem babies. (Monday 31 October 2016; 16:19)

New Scientology version (67,768) by RibbonB from USA Wow, I knew Scientology would eventually play into this story. This one on TMZ of course, is juicy. So Mariah allegedly was told to leave the LA house, but she refused and is supposedly blaming it on that ex-Scientology dude, I told you guys about. He said Mariah James was spending too much money on Mariah and influenced him not to marry her, allegedly. If Scientology is involved, then M. better be careful because they put out smear campaigns as good as any Stella could create. Hopefully this stays civil, or doesn't get any worse. Hopefully M. and her career will survive the reality show Mariah's World and Stellar can go back to the pits of hell. Today must feel like her high holy season for Stelly. (Monday 31 October 2016; 14:39)

Re: Shocking (67,758) (67,767) by RibbonB from USA Hilarious and thank you for this. (Monday 31 October 2016; 14:27)

Re: Stella (67,741) (67,766) by RibbonB from USA If B. does dress as Stellar, he should post a picture here. That would be too funny. We should conduct a Stellar costume contest. Just kidding, but I would love to see anyone's efforts to be her. (Monday 31 October 2016; 14:25)

Re: Stella (67,736) (67,765) by RibbonB from USA Lol you are welcome Susana. I had to go in on Stelly Stell'z blush skills on the low. Mimi L. was having a field day yesterday, so I had to encourage her. (Monday 31 October 2016; 14:22)

Re: Stella (67,731) (67,734) by RibbonB from USA Mimi L. how dare you shade Stellar's shades of blush? She goes hard in the paint for her client. Stella's make up is well, stellar. She's glamorous-tacky, shabby-chic, ghetto-fabulous all rolled into one self empowered ball, moving at the speed that Mariah's money and influence will allow. She is "shaderiffic". I am here for the Stellar shade. (Monday 31 October 2016; 0:19)

Twin humor / levity (67,716) by RibbonB from USA This video is going viral of young twins having a little dance battle and their mom is hyping them along. I am totally stealing the little boy's move at the one minute, three seconds mark. This is so cute and funny to me. They dance slightly better than Roc and Roe. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 17:24)

Re: More new photos (67,701) (67,707) by RibbonB from USA I say we stop feeding it. Let it starve. This mess will be going on until the show airs. Maybe let's just ignore it all. I have been doubtful about the show's appeal and these moves just speak of desperation. I for one am just going to let it do what it do. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 15:39)

Re: New pictures (67,691) (67,699) by RibbonB from USA Yes, looks like she is back to the butterfly ring. Hopefully that makes things clearer for some. That article just assumed it was the old rock and not her old butterfly ring. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 14:43)
