About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Alpha-Tella? (70,964) (70,978) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm so jealous of Licia that she'll never have to deal with the second hand embarrassment of watching MW. Like Licia girl, you will be going on with your life thinking everything is fine and dandy, while I'm here getting permanent wrinkles between my eyebrows in my mid 20s from cringing so hard at the mess that is MW.

Re: Stella, you've revealed yourself (70,954) (70,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You tell 'em Edward. Exactly my thoughts, and the more she talks the deeper she's digging a grave for herself. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 8:03)

Re: Confirmed: "Molly" is an actress (70,922) (70,923) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For some reason this is pissing me off so much. Like I had no doubts before that this whole Molly thing is staged because well it was pretty obvious, but now to get this confirmation just pisses me off even more. MW is such a lost opportunity. Here people could really see the real Mariah, the artist, the performer, the writer, the singer, the mother, the human being. Instead we have this clueless haphazard mess that leads to nowhere. Tour documentary my behind, this is through and through a messy middle school level drama. Lord knows what Mariah was thinking green lighting this crap. This really also upsets me because I always like to think of Mariah as a forward thinking intelligent artist, and it's not wrong to think that either because in the past she has done a lot of stuff that later paved the way for others. The "Fantasy" remix, the "Glitter" soundtrack (since 80s music style is so in right now), and so many other things. So it makes me feel like this really can't be the same Mariah making these ridiculous business decisions, like what on earth? The same things that she has said she hates, she is seen doing out exactly those. This dumb ass "docu-series", buying weed openly, exposing too much, wearing that ring after her break up, staging a relationship with her back up dancer, being fine with getting labelled a "gold digger", a "match.com" advertisement, now she'll make a biopic, like girl where is the real Mariah and what have you done with her? With 3 movies that she is supposed to deliver this year, plus her tour with Lionel, a biopic, a possible second season of "Stella's World" and Christmas shows at Vegas, I wonder will Mariah even have time to do something that she says is her saving grace - making music? Really makes me sad and angry. End rant. (Friday 6 January 2017; 23:55)

Re: Comeback (70,918) (70,921) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To put this bluntly, don't expect a 2017 equivalent of TEOM era under Stella's guidance. In all honesty, I have no doubt Mariah can come up with several masterpieces, but back then she had a strong team to back her up. L.A. took it upon himself to make sure Mariah got a big comeback, it would help both of them cement their status (now LA is almost MIA, and nowhere to be seen), Benny Medina made sure Mariah's image was top notch, by getting her in all the A-list events, presenting her as the music royalty that she is (now we have a manager who is making every effort to put Mariah in the level of cheap reality show stars, and no I am not talking about Kardashians, because even the Kardashians exude more class and more believable story lines). Her PR was on point. Her manager didn't cry wolf and go around giving more interviews than Mariah herself. She didn't have a 13 year old being the medium between her fans and herself. She wasn't staging fake relationships. The public was rooting for her comeback because they saw her vulnerable side and how she too cracked under pressure which made people see her as a human being and relate to her. Nowadays we have a manager who keeps saying "she was the biggest star there", "she was doing them a favor" basically making her sound arrogant, that combined with the diva act which started as a joke but now has engulfed her has kinda turned people off. There is no doubt Mariah can have a huge comeback if she wants to but it won't be until Stella and her incompetent team of circus freaks are moved out. (Friday 6 January 2017; 21:00)

Re: Insecurity and childish nature (70,902) (70,906) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope she does more interviews so people know her more. The more people know her, the more highlighted her failures will be and then when she finally gets fired, people will know to avoid the Bulochnikovs like a plague. (Friday 6 January 2017; 14:12)

Re: Mariah's World episode 4 (70,897) (70,900) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They spend so much time on the Molly story line and when it comes to Mariah's scenes, they are like flashes and random montages. Nothing makes sense. The show actually is what it was originally titled, and that is "Mariah's Squad". I absolutely don't get why Molly gets 40% of total screen time because she isn't even Mariah's assistant, she is' Stella's fake assistant. I was hoping for a more behind the scenes look at the tour and some official tour footage, instead we get messy scripted drama that a 5 year old wrote. (Friday 6 January 2017; 13:17)

Insecurity and childish nature (70,899) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Excerpt from an interview with Stella (why is she doing so many interviews by the way?): Bulochnikov got candid when speaking about Mariah's ex-husband and music manager Tommy Mottola, who said Mariah needed better professional help. Bulochnikov responded to the claim by saying, "Clearly Tommy Mottola is just looking for attention; maybe he and Jenny McCarthy should date. They'd make a perfect couple. I would love to know what cave Tommy Mottola climbed out of to start commenting. Tell Tommy Mottola if I wanted his opinion, I'd give it to him." Stella is firing up because she knows now her blunders has received worldwide attention and no one will really work with her after the mess she created in Mariah's career. Stella is also probably doing multiple interviews now because she probably thinks Mariah's ship is drowning (which it isn't, it'll take a lot more for that to happen) and so now she quickly needs to get her face and contour known and get exposure. Leech. Also I'm surprised when asked about if Mariah will perform at Trump's inauguration, Stella says "No body called us." Like woman you are making it sound like you would have considered it if they called. (Friday 6 January 2017; 12:43)

MW (70,898) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The scene with Tanaka. At this point this show is not even a reality show, let alone a docu-series. It's a straight up soap opera. (Friday 6 January 2017; 12:24)

Re: Maybe we can contact Nick Cannon (70,888) (70,896) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's a great idea to contact Nick. He seems more hands on with his own social media, and has direct contact with MC. Definitely no to Brett Ratner. He got Mariah in the mess. Other options would be Lee Daniels, JD. I wish Oprah would sit Mariah down, or Patti. (Friday 6 January 2017; 12:20)

Re: Relic (70,825) (70,836) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey Stella, what is the brand of blush that you use dahlin'? It's pow dahlin', it's pow. (Thursday 5 January 2017; 14:25)

More Stella drama (70,816) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Tommy Mottola gave a statement where he is very respectful to Mariah and her artistry and achievements but goes on to say she should be working with a more seasoned and respected team. He says what happened in NYE could have happened to anyone and has happened to many but it also could have been avoided if her team was more professional. He further talks about how he would have never steered her towards reality shows because that does nothing for her integrity and talent. He asked her to take some time and reconsider her team and all. Through and through the letter was respectful towards MC but has put her team on blast. So since Stella has been put on blast, guess what she does? This is Stella's statement "Really? Tommy is a relic. Did he give you that statement from a rotary phone?" This woman has zero control. Why does she keep responding to Page Six, and more importantly why even respond when Mariah isn't being attacked. She only gets heated up when she is put on blast. Here is a recent sit down with ET news where she talks about the sabotage. When asked "Why do you think they would sabotage her?", her response is "Are you kidding? Because it happened". Like Stella, they asked for a reason girl. Plus why is she even giving interviews? Where is Mariah? I understand if Mariah doesn't want to give interviews but then neither should Cru-Stella.

Re: Debacles and mishaps and exposés, oh my (70,795) (70,798) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Speaking of which, where the hell is Mr. MIA Reid? Why is he letting Mariah make a fool out of herself? (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 23:36)

Re: Finally, the culprit is found (70,796) (70,797) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Somebody call an ambulance, the last line of your post just sent me into a cardiac arrest. It's not even funny because it might be the truth by now. Stella's second daughter either is a gymnast in training or takes dance lessons as seen on her Instagram, and Stella being extra hiring anyone with no talent and background, it's not far fetched to think Sasha might be Mariah's new choreographer. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 23:35)

Re: She was just being lifted, lifted (70,779) (70,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'll be the first to apologize for calling her out for being too vulgar with her ensemble choices then. Thanks for helping me understand she only does it to help herself sing better. Go on Mariah, get lifted, emancipate the boobies and what does she need to do for the lower notes? Can someone tell me? (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 21:22)

Bryan and Anthony (70,767) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know if this means anything but did you all notice that throughout the performance on NYE, Mariah was basically only dancing with Anthony? There was a point where Mariah turns to Anthony and he picks her thigh up and she dips, while Bryan is pulling awkward moves beside them as if he doesn't know what to do? This happened throughout the performance with Mariah basically only dancing with Anthony. Whereas in the past shows Mariah was dancing a lot with Bryan and even in the Diva's Live show, when she was raised by her dancers, she still reached out and grabbed Bryan even though he was far away, here. Does this mean she's over the drama? Or am I reading too much into it? I'm also surprised she fired Anthony because on stage she was laughing and joking with him. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 18:15)

Re: MW ratings (70,762) (70,766) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'll see who else Stella can fire, because apart from Anthony, everyone else (except Kris) is from Stella's family. She won't fire family, so it'll put her in a tight spot. She might make Bryan the next scapegoat, because we know that relationship is staged as fudge and hence he's an outsider. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 17:54)

Re: Debacle humor (70,758) (70,763) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter At first I saw a small clip of Wendy going in on Mariah on instagram and I was like oh boy, there goes WW. But after you mentioned her here, I went back and saw the whole part and yes, while she goes in hard on her at the start, she does later make valid points. She even praises her as a singer and said yet again (she says that all the time) that even on her worst day she can out sing anyone. Then she even defends her lip syncing saying it doesn't matter, everyone knows she can sing, so as long as she is up there putting on a show it doesn't bother her. I'm living for Wendy throwing shade at Stella every chance she gets and it's the truth. I also agree that apart from Kris Buckle, no one in her current entourage really gives two hoots about Mariah personally. And yes I think Big Jim Wright, Trey Lorenz and her back up singers are great friends to her, but I'm not including them in her "entourage" because they don't follow her everywhere. I mean holidays and shopping sprees and dates and what not. They go with her when she's performing and then go back to their own lives, which I respect and appreciate. The others are surely out to take advantage. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 16:27)

Re: Article: Jenny McCarthy says her sympathy for Mariah "stopped" (70,749) (70,756) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter We don't know her. I actually don't know her haha. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:11)

Re: A smear campaign botched (70,747) (70,755) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes you are right, DCP wouldn't do that. People who tune in to DCP, will tune in regardless. Plus DCP isn't a new thing, they have been around for decades. The fault comes from the technicians and Mariah's team not handling the situation well. Mariah on the other hand did a good interview where she didn't really throw blame at anyone. So I'm glad she didn't go round Stella's ratchet round, but by that time Stella has already done the damage on provoking a major production house. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:10)

Re: Jennifer Lopez keeps being shady (70,746) (70,753) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If that JLo tweet is indeed real and not a fake one, then I'm glad she did it. It will somewhat expose her snake side, like what happened with Taylor. Like Taylor, JLo has this impeccable team around her where even though she does a lot of stuff, she always end up with a good image, so I hope this "liking of the comment" gets viral so people can shift the heat on JLo haha. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:05)

Re: First casualty from the debacle (70,744) (70,752) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes he did and Bryan was then promoted to creative director. Then Anthony came back. I bet Stella was just waiting to get rid of Anthony because from the show it is seen they clash a lot. Although I don't know how much of the show I should believe at this point but of course Stella would shift the blame on anyone but herself. (Wednesday 4 January 2017; 15:03)

Article: Mariah Carey team: Here's what really happened (70,696) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella, oh Stella. This is just making me believe more and more that Bulochnikov is probably behind the sabotage so she can get her 15 minutes of fame. Haha joking, but seriously why is she going around doing interviews though? This is her second in 2 days. Plus her attitude is so wrong with all the swearing and bad mouthing. Stella thinks only of the short term. Her brain can't process what these disputes will lead to in the long run. Mariah needs big TV channels to be on her side but of course Stella is just fine with Hallmark. About the apology part, when DCP offered to give a joint statement, Stella could have just told them to apologize in it, instead she straight up said no to it. Then talking about how Mariah is ignoring it, good Lord. Just lie if you have to and say "Mariah is heartbroken that she could not give the performance she prepared for her fans and the audience, she is sad she couldn't give the performance they deserved but she is trying to stay strong." Saying Mariah is ignoring it and Mariah is the biggest star there and Mariah did them a favor is just rude and arrogant. (Tuesday 3 January 2017; 11:34)

Re: Billboard article (70,652) (70,664) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes dahlin' just watched it and posted the recap. (Monday 2 January 2017; 21:48)

MW episode 4: Mimi L review (70,663) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) Festivities on the jet. They are playing "Oh Santa". I almost forgot how festive the song was. 2) Lee Daniels is here. They are discussing about their difficult past and how they have both been victims to predators and how they mask if differently, with Mariah using her diva antics as a self defense. Good for him to give a little background for people to understand Mariah's attitude a little better. 3) Molly is setting up an Easter party for the kids and she'll be the Easter Bunny. Mariah looks like a million bucks at the party. Cute moment with Dembabies. 4) Thirsty Tanaka is back practicing how to get out of the anniversary cake and spray champagne while doing a hip thrust. He is also talking about how MC opened up to him back in 2006 and told him to be more than a dancer and invited him back to her house to listen to her then unreleased music. Too many lies detected. Girl bye. 5) Mariah prank calling Molly, as Pamela, to order Mozzarella Sticks. 6) Mariah is at the party now, Tanaka is pulling his stripper moves. Tanaka running his hand through Mariah's thighs, Mariah pouring a glass of bubbly on Tanaka, while dude ripples away. 7) Anthony is talking about how he and everyone else in the room is noticing Tanaka is all over Mariah flirting away and Anthony is like it's awkward because she is engaged. Honestly I don't know what they wished to achieve using this story line. It makes Mariah look bad. Also awkward is Mishka is hanging around drunk and occasionally shirt less adults watching this sexual tension go down. Oh wait the other children including Dembabies are there too. Weird. 8) Stella is pissed because Molly is playing with the cake Tanaka came out off. Stella is saying she wants to "wring her neck" because she isn't paying her to fool around. So rude. You are out there partying along with everyone else so why can't she do the same? 9) Stella's World moment where she is showing how her life is after the show. She has 2 sick children she needs to take care of after having Mariah do her duties. She goes on and on about the no glam side of being a single mommy while Mariah is just sitting in the back, because duh, you don't interrupt the real star. 10) Molly went to get a tattoo, for all of you that care. 11) Tanaka is happy he finally got his time with Mariah. 12) Back to Stella's World. Stella is going off on Molly and going on and on about having to take care of her sick kids with no help. Then why bring them on such a hectic tour? 13) Snippet of "Close My Eyes" while some fans talk about what Mariah and her music means to her. It was a sweet moment. They also showed the scene with the fan giving her the cross. 14) Another long Molly-Stella scene. Why is this even required? This girl is not even related to Mariah and we all know it's a staged storyline. 15) Stella kissing Mariah's behind. Next week's preview, Tanaka is getting uber touchy with Mariah. At one point he asks Mariah "Are you really going to marry this guy?" Mariah asks "Why?" He says "I just really want you to be happy." Tanaka get the eff out. (Monday 2 January 2017; 21:46)

Still to come (70,659) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Barf 1. Barf 2. Love Mariah to death, but these are just so hard to digest. (Monday 2 January 2017; 20:37)
