of love, life and the lawyers...

love...love...

I was going to do a toon on Trump the idiot versus the mad lying Hillary woman. But I thought everything has been said and the future will be bleak for someone in the world, whether one or the other becomes the president of the United States. As they say : "give me a gun and I will learn hatred..." But here we had a beautiful romance on which to gamble our hopes for a better future. We could believe that the rich could cut it with true love... Unfortunately, the price of the prenups was too ridiculously low. In some tribal customs, one would say, there was not enough goats or camels on offer... For either of them the gamble of love was not worth it? Very sad...

prenups...

Mariah Carey and James Packer’s prenup negotiations for a wedding that never happened were so outrageous that things became hostile, and her team accused his business managers of treating her like a “gold digger.”

The superstar was allegedly first offered $1 million a year for each full year of marriage by Packer exec Robert Rankin, but her managers flatly refused, saying, “Mariah earns that in 45 minutes for a private performance. This is insulting!”

Packer’s team followed up with terms on e-mail that included: Carey would get $6 million per year (or $151,385 per week) up to a maximum of $30 million. The document also stipulated Carey would get a credit card, but it could only be used for living and staff expenses, not clothes, and could not exceed a certain amount each year. There would be no joint accounts, and Carey and her kids would not inherit any money from Packer.

all I want for christmas...

Apparently all Mariah Carey ever really wants for Christmas is some time out in Aspen, which is where the singer heads for the silly season year after year.

 

The always economical 46-year-old popped over to the Colorado ski resort town again this year, opting for a low-key Airbnb.

Jokes. She stayed in a $22 million “luxury estate”, courtesy of the company.

out of sync deflated balloons in need of a holiday...

Things didn't quite go off as planned for beautiful, sparkling musical butterfly Mariah Carey in 2016. 
First, she went through a high-profile separation with her fiance James Packerwith details of their intense pre-nup leaking to the media, and then her magnum opus, the reality series Mariah's World, was panned by critics. 
(On that last point, I maintain that Mariah's World is actually a work of misunderstood comic genius - she happily took the piss out of her diamond-encrusted lifestyle, and shot scenes in character as her evil '90s alter ego Bianca - but I digress).
Mariah's year ended on another bum note - or actually, with little to no singing at all, as a New Year's Eve performance in Times Square fizzled out when she and the backing track got irretrievably out of sync.

Meanwhile the Christians are not impressed with her rendition of all I want for Xmas...

Can someone please find out where the real Mariah Carey is for us? The songbird diva was on hand for NBC’s Christmas in Rockefeller Center special on Dec. 3, where she performed her classic yuletide hit, “All I Want for Christmas”.  While belting out her song, Carey missed the majority of the high notes she is most famous for hitting. To say Carey’s performance was disappointing would be an understatement.  Just what is the reason for Mimi missing out on those octaves she’s legendary for?

According to TMZ, Carey was so preoccupied on the phone talking to her attorney surrounding her divorce to Nick Cannon, she came to the taping at Rockefeller Center on Dec. 2, 3 HOURS LATE! Once she arrived, the big wigs over at NBC along with crewmembers and fans of Carey’s were not amused by her tremendous tardiness resulting in her being home. While Mariah still wanted to perform and not let her fans down, who were left waiting in the freezing rain for her to finally show up, NBC didn’t budge and scrapped the taping. A day later, the peacock network had a change of heart and allowed her to be a part of the lineup.

Carey apologized to her lambs (fans) on Twitter for the drama and tried to clear up the situation. 

Alleluyah, let Jesus fix the balloons... : What nasty people Christians are...

sabotage...

Diva Mariah Carey is claiming her disastrous New Year’s Eve performance was an intentional set-up by the gig’s producers to raise ratings, according to a report.

The singer’s team even sent in a written complaint Sunday to Dick Clark Productions that the sound and microphone systems she was given to use were deliberately sabotaged “so they could get Mariah drama,” TMZ said.

Carey, 46, was hyped as the main attraction of “Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Eve 2017,” but ended up having a meltdown on stage when she was unable to hear her vocal track.

She ditched her bad lip syncing by the time she got to her second song, “We Belong Together” and stood on stage, looking disgusted.

At 2 p.m., the singer wrote on Twitter: “S–t happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017.”

But within a few hours, the singer’s handlers began laying the blame elsewhere and told TMZ Carey had been given “inner ear” pieces that did not work

"I don't know where the motherf---er is. How am I supposed to know?" Carey said, when asked about Packer's current location. 

"I have no idea. I really have no idea about the political stuff. I don't pay attention to it."

80 per cent off the original ticket price!...

Mariah Carey has sold the ­35-carat diamond engagement ring James Packer gave her two years ago.

The huge sparkler, widely reported to be worth $10 millionwas part of the financial settlement the diva made in 2017 after her split from the Australian media baron.

“Mariah has been very vocal recently about her choice to move forward in her life surrounded by positivity,” her publicist told me. “That requires leaving emotional and material baggage behind, including an old engagement ring from an ex-boyfriend.”

A source said Carey had one of her business managers quietly sell the ring for $2.1 million to a Los Angeles jeweler.

“A confidentiality agreement was signed, but the jeweler is currently selling it, and there’s only one such ring,” my source said. “Mariah Carey’s public relations people are desperately trying to keep the story from the press, and have threatened the jeweler with litigation if he discloses her name.”
