Re: Does anyone know (59,332) (59,333) by Lee TS from USA Josefin or Josephine. The girl Mariah cracked up with over a pig or a turkey. I think she lives overseas now. Yeah, I miss seeing her with Mariah, I hope they stayed in touch. There's also this new girl in Mariah's entourage who looks like one of Stella's friends, I think she's also a stylist. But yeah, I think some lambs would be happy if Stella put her girls in boarding school in Switzerland or something lol. (Monday 25 January 2016; 22:49)

Does anyone know (59,332) by Giovanni from USA The name of the girl Mariah shared an apartment with when they were young? Are they still friends? Also, what happened to Da Brat and Jermaine? There hasn't been one picture of either of them with Mariah. (Monday 25 January 2016; 22:18)

Mimi L (59,331) by Giovanni from USA Your posts always have me cracking up. Especially about Stella. I look forward to more hash tags. (Monday 25 January 2016; 22:11)

Re: Mariah and Stella (59,326) (59,330) by Marissa from USA I feel like they are too old for that to be the case. I would guess that the oldest one is probably 12 or 13 and the youngest one is 9 or 10. Both too old to be considered 4 year olds' companions. I know Stella and her kids constantly being around isn't hurting anyone but my goodness. I would be so sick of them honestly lol. If I were James and every time I want some alone time with my fiance I have to be surrounded by prepubescent kids and uninvited staff, that would push me to the edge. What happened to a concept called "grown folks' business" where the adults get a breather and can have adult conversation? Or the concept of business and personal being separate so you don't have your manager thinking she's your best friend? Even though RaeRae was practically in the same position, I found her a lot less annoying. Maybe because she wasn't posing for pictures every 3 seconds about riding the coattails of Mariah's life.

Re: Mariah and Stella (59,326) (59,329) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's a good point but I don't think that's the case. Because a lot of time Stella's kids are with Mariah when the twins aren't even around. Like the Nobu date with Packer. During the engagement even if the kids where there, Stella's kid was walking out with Mariah and James and walking straight towards their car. Then the recent picture of them out in the snow, it was Stella, her kid and Mariah. I see the kids mostly around Mariah than with the kids. Stella also highlights how close Mariah and the elder one is. (Monday 25 January 2016; 20:49)

She is always surrouded by people because (59,328) by Sasha from Nomansland She's the type of person who just can't stand being alone. I even wonder if she has ever spent some time alone with her kids. (Monday 25 January 2016; 20:23)

New dates for Vegas (59,327) by Manny from U.S. I'm excited. I just got an email from AXS. Mariah added dates for June, August, and September. I can't go for February dates but I will go over the summer. It's good lamb day. (Monday 25 January 2016; 20:00)

Mariah and Stella (59,326) by Will from England Could it possibly that Stella's kids, no matter the age difference, are there to help entertain and play with Mariah's kids? I can't imagine that outside of a school setting, they'd be able to meet other kids under "normal" circumstances (i.e. at a park). (Monday 25 January 2016; 19:59)

New Sigala song sampling Always Be My Baby (59,325) by Martyn from England, UK Have any of you guys heard the new Sigala song with DJ Fresh? Not sure if they're even names outside of the UK, but they're both quite big here anyway. They have a new song that samples "Always Be My Baby" and it's such a summer anthem. It comes out in March, you can listen to it here. So nice to see our queen being sampled by younger artists. (Monday 25 January 2016; 19:17)

Re: Mariah's team (59,321) (59,324) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes but Rachel was friends with Mariah for years before that. Didn't they even go to school together or something? I might be wrong, I don't know but Rachel definitely knew Mariah really well and so it made sense for her to be in her inner circle. Stella just popped up last year and ever since then every previous friends of Mariah has dropped like flies. The only thing with Rachel was she needed to stop doing Mariah's choreography because she got her stuck in the same 3 step move for every song, every show. Other than that their friendship didn't seem so off because they knew each other since they were young. (Monday 25 January 2016; 18:43)

Re: LA Reid (59,316) (59,323) by Cgee54 from Usa If LA Reid wants to milk Mariah back catalog I hope he at least releases some of her unreleased material like the famous demo tape among other songs like the Crave song. (Monday 25 January 2016; 18:40)

Re: Mimi L. / Stella (59,317) (59,322) by Marissa from USA This cracked me up so much. (Monday 25 January 2016; 17:36)

Re: Mariah's team (59,310) (59,321) by ADAM from USA I think Stella and her daughters are around Mariah 24/7 by Mariah's request. I think it's weird considering she's in a romantic relationship with James to always have her paid entourage around her everywhere. It's like she's co-dependent and I think that's even good for a long-term relationship to be so secluded in your celebrity to not have private time with your lover. It's very strange but no different than when Rachel and her daughter were always around Mariah for many years. Mariah seems to always have long-term mainstays with her until there not anymore. On a separate note, does anyone know if Mariah is still friends with Jasmine anymore? I don't remember seeing her in Aspen or with Mariah in a long-time? (Monday 25 January 2016; 16:09)

Re: Stella (59,318) (59,319) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Making announcements on behalf of the artist is the job of her publicist/management team and so for Mariah that would be The Chambers Group. I don't know exactly what Stella's role is and even if she is her manager, it's not mandatory for her to be at the engagement (because that's personal not professional) but I can still be fine with her being there but her kids too? What exactly is their role? Why are they at personal dates with Packer? Why are they at all the personal vacations with Packer? I don't think it's professional for a manager to travel with her entire family with their client. I never saw any other celeb manager do it. Plus Stella now calls Packer's yacht her "second home". Like um no, it's not, it's maybe Mariah's second home. In case you forgot, Packer didn't propose to the entire clan. Then Stella uploaded the picture of Mariah's ring and went blabbering about how it's "35 carats" and all. It's fine for us fans to gush over it but someone from her inner professional circle to be so unprofessional and childish that she is talking about the carats is cringe worthy too. Thank the Lord she didn't upload it on Mariah's account with hashtags "pip engagement moments", "pow 35 carats diamond ring", "come on", "engagement ring game strong", "eternally twelve", "pon de 14th floor" and then something random like "can't let go". (Monday 25 January 2016; 15:57)

Stella (59,318) by B from USA Correct me if I'm wrong but an engagement announcement is something her manager or publicist would handle. However, bringing her children to work is weird. (Monday 25 January 2016; 14:03)

Re: Mimi L./Stella (59,313) (59,317) by Lee TS from USA Yeah, like I get Mariah needs extra attention and everything is about her and her only. I doubt Stella is doing anything besides the Mariah Carey brand. They're basically a travelling circus now haha. I don't know, whatever makes them happy and if it works I guess. And Mariah doesn't have friends, you're never gonna catch her on a brunch date with Beyonce and Julia Roberts. Mariah isn't squad goals unless you're the paid help. Oops. (Monday 25 January 2016; 11:53)

Re: LA Reid (59,307) (59,316) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter L.A. is trying to give the vibe that he wants Mariah to work at her own pace and so he won't push her to work on a new album. But dude, it is quite clear why you are not interested in getting her into the studio right away. It's because you are too busy milking her back catalog and don't wish to put more money up for the release and promotion of a new album. At least Def Jam tried with Mariah, they made deals for #Beautiful and all but had to eventually give up when Mariah kept delaying the album (thrice) and by that time other artists on their roster had releases ready on which they had to focus. The death of Memoirs is because of L.A. and his bad directions, the death of E=MC2 was because of Mariah abandoning it (because as far as I remember there was a solid promo plan set up but all the appearances had to be cancelled). So we can blame Def Jam, but at least they tried. With Sony, we got the much hyped "Infinity" which was supposed to be WBT part 2 (according to instagram captions) and then they dropped the ball on it too. So no, I believe the only reason L.A. doesn't push Mariah to do the album fast is because he doesn't want to put the money in on a new project . All the "I am giving her time" is bull crap. (Monday 25 January 2016; 11:06)

Re: Mimi L./Stella (59,313) (59,315) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wouldn't be surprised if they end up on their honeymoon since they have already been to all her "romantic getaways" with Packer, including just dinner dates. Seriously what is wrong with them? Mariah gets too attached to her team. After Stella came all her other friends left. Or atleast are no longer with her. Stella even made it to the Aspen trip which Mariah reserves for her nearest and dearest. Plus I want to know where is Mariah's fine ass bodyguard that has been with her, Michael Richardson? Why did she dump him too? Is Stella also the new bodyguard? (Monday 25 January 2016; 10:59)

Re: LA Reid (59,312) (59,314) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter L A Reid is shady. I don't get why Mariah trusts him so much, even when he didn't do much for her last release when he was at Def Jam. From what I heard he even stopped the release of the epic H.A.T.E.U. remix release because of his clash with Jermaine. From what I can see LA is using Mariah to milk her back catalog. (Monday 25 January 2016; 10:56)

Mimi L./Stella (59,313) by Giovanni from USA I feel you. It's like they're all living the luxury with Mariah. I understand that Stella is her manager, but is it really necessary for her and her kids to go everywhere Mariah goes? What's next? Are they going on Mariah and Packer's honeymoon? (Monday 25 January 2016; 10:39)

Re: LA Reid (59,307) (59,312) by Giovanni from USA I don't like the man. I feel he's all about the money. He's said that Mariah is talented and that she has no competition. But then he says that she more and likely cannot get another number one song. (Monday 25 January 2016; 10:30)

Re: Mariah's next album (59,299) (59,311) by Giovanni from USA I agree, I wouldn't mind a few jazz tracks on Mariah's next album. But not a whole jazz album though. I would find it kind of boring. Only because I'd like to hear a little of everything. I will say that she did very well with "Lullaby of birdland" on the Chanteuse tour. (Monday 25 January 2016; 10:22)

Mariah's team (59,310) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I really wish we saw Mariah with friends outside her team. She only seems to have them as friends and that's not always so healthy. It's important to keep a distance between one's professional and personal life. Also I am still disturbed by how Stella takes her kids everywhere Mariah goes. One or two vacations is fine, but everywhere? The TMZ footage of Mariah and James's engagement showed Stella's elder daughter walk right out with Mariah and James and then run around in front of the camera. These are annoying. I still find it weird that they follow her to dates with Packer and now engagement. Where does one draw the line? They also basically live in the same house together. I don't think I have seen any other managers do that. Even younger ones like Scooter Braun who manages a lot of artists he is close with doesn't do that either. This is plain weird and I think Stella should be professional about it too. (Monday 25 January 2016; 8:11)

Mariah Packer (59,309) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines While I get why a lot of people may think this is too soon, I'd rather be glad that she seems really happy with how her life is right now. If they can manage to make it work, then great for them. I actually had to remind myself that it's an engagement. That's what it is for now. If something goes wrong, then they can just call it off. If there's anything we have come to learn more about Mariah this past decade, it is that she can just be as impulsive as anyone. She's human, you all. If anything, I'm glad that this happened now rather than in after she just released an album. No one wants a repeat of what happened during the E=MC2 era. Not saying that Nick was the cause of that (it may well have been the miscarriage), but clearly Mariah tends to drop everything when faced with sudden personal events. (Monday 25 January 2016; 7:32)

Re: Mariah's next album (59,299) (59,308) by Cgee54 from Usa I disagree. I think it would good for Mariah to switch up her sound slightly. She has done music for more than 20 years and to be honest I don't know how much more pop/r&b she can really do. Pop's main audience doesn't appreciate Mariah's sound without comparing it to Grande's sound although we all know Mariah made that sound popular. I'm just saying that maybe it is time for Mariah to let go of pop and see what she can do with other genres like jazz. (Monday 25 January 2016; 7:23)
