His/her yachts (65,155) by Nikki from usa Why? I would assume because James is getting sick of camera men on his when he's a private person. Since Mariah's old fashioned and they're apparently not going to be bumping skins until after the wedding could be another reason. Especially, since their last photos dancing together depicted James all over her, squeezing tits and all. That was a bit much. Truth be told I was a bit worried about Mariah getting with James. His father left him 5 billion and he's already lost 1.5 billion of it on bad investments. He's had Mariah sing for 1/8 of her usual price for his hotels as a draw and even had her accompany him to a few of his investor meetings. Mariah's self-made and James isn't. I hardly doubt you can tell someone's relationship by a handful of photos especially when one of them is awkward in the spotlight. If Mariah was into money and status she wouldn't have married Nick to begin with. He had none of that. People say all sorts of crazy things about her and flip her mentality around like a pancake. I can see why she'd show her own documentary, so she could have a say. Mariah's old fashioned, she has kids so she wants a steady husband. James has his own career so he doesn't need to be gone day and night to create it. He has his own money, so she doesn't have to worry about gold digging. This is both their third marriage and they both have kids. They have a lot in common. Hot and heavy didn't work for the last marriage, so it makes sense she'd want someone more serious and commitment-minded this time around. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 4:43)

Oh, Nygel (65,154) by Nikki from usa We can't fight our own battles anymore, can we? Having kids do your dirty work. Idol owns these kids asses until their contracts expire. I find it highly suspicious these two are on a first name bases and a contestant knows what her judge "requirements" were. Nygel was the one who continually claimed Mariah ruined the show and is responsible for its demise. I do sometimes wonder if I was the only one who watched that Nicki Minaj show where she interrupted everyone with special attention to Mariah to the point Mariah couldn't give her critiques. As Mariah mentioned previously the producers wanted her to make the contestants feel like crap and she wasn't on board with that. She thought she was finding the next superstar only to find out everything was contrived and already decided. Everything was a lie. No, she couldn't just quit. That's what a contract is. You quit, you get sued. Would Mariah be upset if Ellen joined the squad at the last second? Doubtful. But, when you sign a contract to be a part of a 3 panel group just to have a last minute 4th entry that's a trash talking rapper with all of one album out then an intelligent person may wonder exactly what the deal is here. Nygel branded Mariah as the reason for poor ratings halfway through, then claimed she was fired at the end, and when AI came to an end he blamed her for it as well. Yes, that's abusive, especially, when he's whispering into each other's ears to get them to fight. What's truly sickening is people think it's ok to treat other people like crap as long as you give them a lot of money. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 4:14)

Stolen concept, leeches and the likes (65,153) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So when Mariah's concept was stolen during the MIAM era, every one was wondering who it was, and months later when Mariah cleaned house, everyone were rejoicing over how it's great she cleaned out all the "leeches" and "people who possibly sabotaged" her MIAM project by leaking stuff. So now that Stella is living on Mariah's dime, with her entire family (and no not just her kids, her father, her mother, her cousins and childhood friends) why isn't she a leech? Next important question is, in the TCA panel Mariah said she won't talk about her album because someone stole her concept, and then she added, it also happened (a concept was stolen) like 2 months ago. So then why wasn't Stella fired for the leak? I mean it's her job too right? Or is her job just to contour, party, wear variations of the same black on black outfit, do that weird hand pose (that is only acceptable for rappers and prepubescent boys trying to look like gangsters), and keeping Mariah booked on projects beneath her. Another thing is JD was dragged through the mud for saying true words that Mariah doesn't take her career as seriously any more. Yet when Stella's cousin said "Stella made Mariah relevant again" it's just fine right? Some of you all need to really decide what is what. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:44)

Re: Company (65,148) (65,152) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is a very extravagant way of avoiding to tell her kids that she is with Mr Packer. If they really intend to get married this year, Roc and Roe should be already told about this, because if she tells them right before the marriage, it will be too much for them to handle. They are just kids. Plus for the kids' sake I hope this relationship isn't a publicity stunt, because that would really confuse them. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:31)

Re: Mariah Carey (65,142) (65,151) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I laughed way too hard at this. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:28)

Re: Sack the stylist (65,143) (65,150) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That would be The House Of Carey and Bulochnikov. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:28)

Looks happy (65,149) by RibbonB from USA James looks very happy here too, taking one of his ex wives on a date this time last year. Supposedly M. wants to be fit because Packer likes his women skinny. Meanwhile he looks like lard. Whatever is going on, they seem to be having fun and willing to put on for real or for right now. I wish people took time for them selves and for their kids. Kids are resilient, but they deal with the residual of a lot of their parents choices for all their lives too. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 1:36)

Re: Company (65,144) (65,148) by RibbonB from USA Maybe she still hasn't told the kids yet Licia. Lol in February or March she claimed still hadn't broken it to them even though she claims Roe is going to have her own dress for the prenuptials. I really do hope that if they do this thing that she leaves the kids at home for any honeymoon. It's bad enough to "date" with your children along, separate boats or not, but not on any honeymoon. This lady is doing an awful lot in a tight time frame. Let's hope it all works out for the kids. They are who I worry about. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 1:27)

Re: Company (Mariah's world) (65,145) (65,147) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It has been mentioned multiple times that it's for Mariah and the kids. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 1:06)

Re: Sack the stylist (65,143) (65,146) by enwar00 from usa Lmfao. Yikes that's like the fugliest picture ever. And not just the clothes. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 0:52)

Re: Company (Mariah's world) (65,141) (65,145) by Chicago Lamb from USA Exactly. The extra yacht is probably for "the entourage" to sleep in. Kind of a nice courtesy to Mr. Packer actually. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 0:00)

Re: Company (65,127) (65,144) by Licia from USA Lol I've seen her show more affection to her dogs than she has shown JP. That says alot. The whole his and hers yacht thing is uber cute. When I get hitched I want his and hers everything. What weirds me out is that they are going to the same places on the two yachts. It's one thing for her to say that she, the kids, and the nanny are on his yacht and her team are on hers. I can totally understand that. It's another thing for him to be on his yacht and she's with the kids and her people on hers. So she's boat hopping to spend time with her man? The story makes no sense. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 23:58)

Sack the stylist (65,143) by Martyn from England, UK I've seen some bad outfits on Mariah in my time, but this is one of the worst I've ever seen. If she was going for Eastern European in 2001 chic then she nailed it. If not, she really needs to sack the stylist. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 23:40)

Re: Mariah Carey (65,136) (65,142) by Marcus from Brazil What do you mean by "Mariah has earned her stripes"? That's very racist of you to say, especially about her. Mariah is not a zebra. She's a human being. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 22:46)

Company (Mariah's world) (65,141) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) While I may not understand the point of having two separate yachts, it's not for me to understand if Mr. Packer and MC are fine with it who I am to say what kind of relationship they have. My reality and their reality is different based on everything they do is up for scrutiny no matter if they have dinner for two or have fun on the yacht with friends and family. Do I agree with everything going on in Mariah's world nowadays? No but I respect that she has a right to live her life as she sees fit whether I approve or not. Now if we can just work on getting the image and product in proper order I am fine with that everything else is just Mariah's world. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 22:44)

Re: Company (65,138) (65,140) by RibbonB from USA Aw thanks Mimi L. Feeling is mutual. Lol. I couldnt attach the praying baby gif that I wanted to earlier. Lol. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 22:17)

Re: Mariah Carey (65,136) (65,139) by Tameka walker from United states I could not agree more. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 22:10)

Re: Company (65,131) (65,138) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol, RibbonB you are a gem on this board. Your posts crack me up. No seriously, this is an appreciation post for you, you not only have nice, well thought out, detailed posts where you point things out so nicely, and then you also have this amazing sense of humor, which I adore. Please don't ever leave the board haha. You really are a gem. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 21:16)

Re: Company (65,129) (65,137) by Marissa from USA Mariah has an extremely codependent relationship with her entourage. I used to think that she was just an extrovert and enjoyed having people around, but now I think it's deeper than that. She uses these people as a shield from having to look at herself and her decisions. Naturally her team has to be around her while she is touring, performing and promoting, but on a romantic trip with the man that you are "in love" with? Unnecessary. The only people needed on this trip were bodyguards and maybe a nanny. Everyone else is irrelevant. I also no longer believe that Mariah's in love with James from what I see on the surface. Despite the leaked photos in the beginning of their relationship, she did seem genuinely happy and in love with him. Then after he proposed to her it's like he went from a partner to a prop. He's seemed like a publicity tool ever since. What logical reason would there be for having his and hers yachts when the person you are "in love" with has one of the largest yachts in the world? It's not like there is no room. Any time you choose a partner who you are not excited about, you are settling and downgrading even if the person is richer than you. On one hand I think Mariah's a sweet, fun and generous person, but on the other hand I don't know how James takes it. With the omnipresent entourage, her music playing in the background everywhere she goes, lighting and angles obsessions, and age complex, being with her also seems like a never-ending ego fest and I don't know how many people would want a lifelong commitment to that situation.

Mariah Carey (65,136) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah Carey has earned her stripes, she has paid her dues as one of the top 3 if not top of the ones to do it ever. Her legacy is sealed. You cannot talk about music and not mention Mariah. She has achieved so much, set impossible to break records and broken so many other records. She's the one simply put. The Supremes. It's her. For all you guys complaining she's not relatable, well that's because she's not. There's absolutely nothing ordinary or relatable about Mariah that's for ordinary folk like you and she's anything but ordinary, she's extraordinary and everything about her; her musical abilities, her voice, her songwriting, her discography all scream extraordinary, perfection. So she's excused to sit back and just go "I don't know her" pun intended if she wants to, or go "I'm that bad mama jama b*tch". It's Mariah's world. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 20:58)

Re: Company (65,126) (65,135) by ADAM from USA Exactly. It's like Mariah is footing the bill for Stella's whole extended family to travel with her and not her own. I get Mariah isn't close with her own siblings but she seems to cluster herself with anybody else but James Packer alone. I think it's deliberate. It's clear for many years now, Mariah is obsessed with status, wealth, and fame and the ultimate way to stay relevant and show up Nick Cannon is by having a billionaire fiancée whose infatuated her. When someone's infatuated with you, you can always throw them a couple of crumbs and they'll just be happy to be near you. And I think with James she's using him for his status but doesn't appear to be in love. She's can't be in a room with him without it being recorded or with an entourage. I hope he gets the courage to stop being played like this. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 20:57)

Separate yatch (65,134) by Terna from Nigeria Why is it a big deal? I find it perfectly normal, matter of fact who knows maybe James got her her own yatch because of her entourage, they're hers not his? And also you do forget the filming might still be going on for the docuseries. Cameras, equipment, camera men, lighting equipment, lighting men etc. So I guess all that should just be bundled up into James's yatch because oh well it's big enough. You guys read into literally every single thing, it's unsettling come from her own fans. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 20:36)

Re: Company (65,126) (65,133) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Going through a divorce can be pretty challenging. People handle it differently. Mariah has always had this kind of "brave face" thing that she does. Definitely not trying to sound like a therapist or anything here, lol but being brought up by divorced parents, I can tell you that distraction can be a way of coping not really wanting to go to the places that still feel pretty uncomfortable within yourself, and I don't mean Nick perse, I mean actually letting go of all the stuff you process when you experience something like that. It's one thing to vent, it's another to feel like it's truly released and you aren't holding on to unresolved stuff. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 18:27)

Re: Company (65,126) (65,132) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada You can dress something up, on the outside, but it doesn't always mean you're happy behind closed doors. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 18:08)

Re: Company (65,129) (65,131) by RibbonB from USA Stellar told him ok now touch her boob for the cameras. James said, but I don't know how. Mimi said just touch the side, just for a hot second. Did you notice in the pictures later that evening that James was pointing his finger at her as if he was scolding her? He could have been saying "You said I wouldn't have to touch them." Just joking and playing caption this. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 18:05)
