After weeks of rumors that Mariah Carey would be joining American Idol, Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly confirmed she is at Fox’s Press Tour Day. I have to admit her addition is enough for me to watch the show. Unlike the other three judges, she knows actually her stuff and she can be quite articulate. Plus she was married Tommy Mottala, one of the greatest producers in the music business and he had to teach her something during their marriage. Oh and she most importantly she can sing and sell albums, something J-LO could only do one of.
Thank you to Mark Burnett for coming up with The Voice and casting Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine as coaches and because of that it made Fox step up their game. The X Factor added Britney Spears and Idol brought on Carey. I am sure the people who are audition for these shows are happy about that changes because people they grew up with and idolized are not the people mentoring them on these reality shows.
Congrats to Fox on a good hire, let’s just hope they do an equally as good filling the other two seats. It is time for the Dawg to go even if he is Carey’s manager.

Mariah Carey lost a lot of her pregnancy weight by doing Jenny Craig, so she decided to show off her body in a skin-tight cat suit when she performed in Austria. But all we could see was her huge camel toe where Dem Babies came out of. Hopefully Mariah will not wear that outfit in the desert because the camels might think that she is their Dreamlove and try to hump her.
Nick Cannon started the New Year in the hospital dealing with mild kidney failure and today he talked about it on his first day back at his radio show. After about ten minutes of describing his illness it doesn’t sound like he really knows what happened. He says that he eats healthy and works out and never gets sick because he hates going to the doctor. Then he went to Aspen for the holiday and at first he thought he was having Acute Mountain Sickness due to the higher altitude there. When he go to Colorado he says that at first Dem Babies got sick and then his wife also got the bug. So he spent the next four days taking care of them, getting no sleep, going to the gym four to five times a day and taking cold medicines to avoid getting sick too. Then two days before New Year’s he felt a pain in is back and his wife said you need to get over your fear of going to the doctor and go. He ignored her request until it got so bad that he was laid out on the floor. So she called the doctor and they thought he had kidney stones. That was not the case and doctors were trying to find out what was wrong with him but they did find out he had mild kidney failure. After days of testings, they still don’t what happened but whatever it was it is under control. As long as he doesn’t overdo it and that is something he is trying to do now as he continues to be on the road to recovery.
I have a feeling that after all of this, that next year Mariah Carey and Dem Babies won’t be spending Christmas in Aspen again. They will probably go somewhere much warmer and a place that is on a much lower altitude.
Nick Cannon is in the hospital and Mariah Carey broke the news. She Tweeted the above picture and said, “Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman” It is unknown how severe it is or what caused it, but hopefully he will be better soon. He needs to get well ASAP so he can do all that he does, you know his radio show, running TeenNick, hosting America’s Got Talent, being Mr Mariah Carey and father to Dem Babies.
UPDATED: Here is what Mariah Carey posted on her site:
This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.
We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.
We’re doing OK but we’re “straaaaaanded in Aspen”. #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.
UPDATE 2: Nick Cannon Tweeted an update, “Currently being transfered to a hospital in LA. Thank you all for all your love, prayers and concern. You know me… I will be a’ight” I am sure he will be, so he better do it soon.
The video for Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber’s version of All I Want for Christmas is out and is anyone else completely creeped out after watching it? Mimi is 41 years old and she is oversexualizing herself in front of a 17 year old impressionable boy. Seriously Mariah, that wall lost its virginity to you during this video. I have seen porns that were less sexy than what you did in that video. Christmas is suppose to be pure, not anymore.
