After just one season Mariah Carey is saying goodbye to American Idol. Her publicity firm PMK*BNC Tweeted her departure by saying “W/ global success of ‘#Beautiful’ (#1 in 30+ countries so far) @MariahCarey confirms world tour & says goodbye 2 Idol.” The news is no surprise, but how she did it is because she didn’t do it herself. They buried the lead in a Tweet.
So that means that in the last few weeks the only original judge Randy Jackson, Mike Darnell, who ran Fox’s Alternative Programming, and Mariah Carey have all quit the show after a disastrous season in the ratings. The show hit several series lows and lost over half the viewers they used to get at it’s peak.
When it comes to fixing Idol? I think they really need to cancel The X Factor because the singing competition fatigue has gotten to people like me. They also need to not make the show about the judges any more and focus on the contestants. They really just need to get back to what they were and not what they are now. Can it be done? Yes. Will it be done? Probably not.
UPDATE: Nicki Minaj is also leaving American Idol. She Tweeted, “Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn’t trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!” No one is surprised, and I am not sure if anyone is really upset by her departure. She is the reason I didn’t watch this season.
So now it is up to Keith Urban to stop singing The Clash’s Should I Stay or Should I Go? and just go!
Mariah Carey Tweeted this picture of her two boys in bed together and the world wide web collectively went “awwwwwww”. Seriously can this picture of Nick Cannon and his two year old son Roc be any cuter? You can tell those twins are being brought up in a house of love when you see a picture like this one!
BTW I love how perfect Cannon’s shirt is for the occasion, he was definitely Wild ‘n’ now he is Out like a light.
Mariah Carey was on Good Morning America this morning and to say it went to sh!t would be an understatement. Not only did Mimi say “sh!t” twice in a few seconds, her dress also popped open and had to be fixed on live TV.
Gotta hand it to Mrs Nick Cannon, she always knows how to leave an impression on television.
Five years ago the world was shocked when Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married after such short courtship, and no one thought it would last including me. Well now 5 years and 2 kids later, they are still going strong. So strong that they renewed their vows yesterday to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary. The nuptials at Disneyland were fit for a Princess and her Prince and they looked the parts.
Hopefully the four of them will live happily ever after just like a fairytale. Which is basically what their marriage is.
Mariah Carey Tweeted these pictures of her family having a pajama party and I realized that they all wear the same nightclothes. Well Mimi and Roe wear pink stripped PJs while Nick and Roc’s are blue.
Seriously how sweet is the family that dresses alike at night! I wish more moms and dads dressed like their offspring in the bedroom. Mostly because I would love to see pictures of my male friend in a Disney Princess nightgown.
