Angels Advocate Will Be Released On March 30th

Posted by – January 28, 2010

So, in this new age of music and technology, it’s hardly surprising that we get most of our brand new album information through things like Facebook and Twitter. Of course, some of that news is groundbreaking, and then some of it is… Mariah Carey releasing an album of remixes. Yes, you read that right. She’s not releasing a new album, she’s releasing an album of remixes. “Angels Advocate,” which was initially supposed to be on February 23rd, got hit with some undisclosed delays and was pushed back without a date. Until now. Today Carey tweeted that March 30th would be the new release date for the album.

If you were curious about what the album’s gonna be like, two of the songs on the album, “Up Out of My Face”, which has Nicki Minaj, and “Angel Cry”, featuring Ne-Yo, were just released earlier this week. And if you’re curious to see what videos directed by Nick Cannon and his wife, Mariah herself, then you can definitely find videos for both of those tracks online anywhere right now.

Of course, it isn’t like she won’t have some competition for this new release date, as Usher’s new album through Jive Records, “Raymond Vs. Raymond” will be debuting the same day and it’s a brand new album, not a remix. Granted, this new album is going to feature duets and remixes from the songs off her album last year, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.” And if you want a dose of live Mariah Carey before the release of her album, you can find her on her “Angels Advocate” tour at the moment, which will be wrapping up with a neat bow on February 27th in Las Vegas at the Pearl Concert Theatre. We’ll see what happens next with her album in the next few weeks.

Can Mariah’s Melons Stop Getting Photo Opportunities?

It isn’t often that I get up in arms about how celebrities look, but when it comes to musicians who are talented enough to know that their “gazangas” don’t need to make an appearance at the Golden Globes, too, that just annoys me. After all, we all know that Mariah Carey has a vocal range that stuns and is the envy of many a woman, and we know that she has now begun a career (again, as no one wants to even think about “Glitter”) in film once more.  That’s all fine and wonderful, and really, we should all be glad that she’s getting out there and expanding her range of talents. But, there are two talents of hers that really need to stay put away, and that would be her substantial bosom.

Every single picture of her from the Golden Globes was one of mixed reactions. On the one hand, she looked gorgeous, and significantly more sober than the last time people called attention to her work on “Precious,” but her chest was swelling, no – BURSTING out of her top and she should know better. I want to know why not a single one of the people who work with her told her to get a dress with the top being a little bigger.  Of everyone who must have to look her over before she hits the red carpet, no one realized that it looked like someone had mated a push-up bra and gel inserts to make those suckers pop so much?

Don’t get me wrong, Mariah Carey is still a musician now dabbling in acting, but the impression that every single dress worn needs to make it look like your endowments are literally falling out of your top is really getting old. I mean, there used to be a time when you had to pay to get to see that much. Now? I’m getting them for free and way more than I wanted.

Mariah Carey Goes A Little Heavy On the Bubbly

Posted by – January 8, 2010

For the most part, when you think of the weird, nonsensical, or downright bizarre, and sometimes drunken speeches, the Golden Globes or the MTV Music Awards come to mind. Well, it turns out for Mariah Carey, she decided to give everyone her drunken speech an entire week early! The famous R&B artist known for the insanely high vocal range has been dipping her feet back into the wading pool of film acting once more. I think we all remember the snafu that was Glitter, so to be honest, when we all found out she was starring in the film “Precious,” where she would be playing a social worker… we were all a bit skeptical. And that’s putting it nicely.

But, apparently, she did what Keanu Reeves could not before deciding to do Shakespeare, and that is actually get lessons and apply herself. In the film “Precious,” Carey actually turned out quite a performance, enough that at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, she won the award for Breakthrough Actress. Unfortunately, the singer didn’t seem to be aware that when preparing to give an awards speech, it helps to be sober.
According to Carey, her official story is that after a whirlwind day, she hadn’t had a chance to eat before the award shows. She and a companion had been in the back celebrating the success of the film and, according to her, her award, and had had “a few splashes of champagne.” So, unless she’s the biggest lightweight to alcohol in the entirety of stardom, her story isn’t quite adding up how completely buzzed she was during her speech. Her speech didn’t make much sense at all, and she kept stopping and starting sentences that altogether made her seem like her brain was off somewhere else completely. Or that she was just too emotionally touched to be coherent. Either way, good job, Mariah. You made an otherwise half-way boring Film Festival super-interesting.
