Mariah Carey Confuses Me
I understand that once you reach a certain level of fame and wealth that you enjoy having a stylist do your hair and makeup. Also, I understand the stylist is probably going to make you look better than you can do it yourself. I mean they are professionals and so they should make you look better. What I don't understand is how, if there is an emergency, how it is possible that you can't do your hair and makeup yourself. I am presuming that at some point throughout her life that Mariah Carey managed to do her own hair and makeup. In fact, I would say that probably even still, she is at an age where she has probably done her own hair and makeup for about half her life.
On Saturday, Mariah took to her Twitter, or at least had her assistant or her toy Nick Cannon do it and said, "I'm still in Cannes (with) a whole day and night of press events ahead of me and the hairdresser has abandoned me!"
Apparently the one she hired failed to show. Mariah's people found a new stylist, but I guess the one they found didn't speak English, and so she again turned to Twitter and said, "OK, so he got me someone else but he doesn't speak English at all, so I'm hoping for the best... Whhhhhhyyyyyyy!"
Because of this drama, Mariah and Nick were a fashionable three hours late for a party to celebrate her new movie. The question I have to ask is why? Is she that incompetent that she couldn't manage to do her own hair and makeup? Is this is a skill that you forget? Instead of trusting a complete stranger, wouldn't it have been more wise to just do it yourself? Has she become so entitled that she would refuse to go out in public rather than just do it on her own?
All she has done by showing up three hours late and with this awful reason is just show the world that no matter what, and that no matter if producers and guests were expecting her to be on time, that her personal needs have to come first. It isn't like she even looks that great when a professional spends hours on her, so I doubt she could do much damage on her own. Do your hair, throw on some makeup and squeeze into one of her teenage hooker outfits and she is ready to go. It is this kind of inability to see beyond the mirror or think of anyone else that I really despise the most about celebrity entitlement.
The sad thing is, is that she went to school for cosmetology. Even though she flunked out / quit she should be able to do something.
ReplyDeleteAll these DIVA tantrums, that is all show, I am sure Nick can hot curl Ms. Carey's hair just fine!
ReplyDeleteI bet her hair extensions take HOURS.
ReplyDeleteThe part of this story that shocks me is that it brought my attention to the fact that she normally has a stylist. Uh. Where did they go to stylist school? Kindercare?
ReplyDeleteKathy Griffin's ex-husband used to do her hair, so send Nick to school to learn and he can do it.
ReplyDeleteOh give me a break! Its called run a hair straightener through it, add some shine serum, and GO! Powder + concealer, high shine lip gloss, natural blush (Nars in Orgasm), a pearlish eyeshadow (to highlight and cover veins), black eyeliner, lash lengthening mascara and voila, instant natural glam. Even this amateur knows the game!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't she find a hooker down the street to do it? It would look like normal then.
ReplyDeletei've always thought she was extremely unattractive and everything she does just makes her moreso. it's really hard to believe people get paid to make her look that way---stuffed into cheap, whorey clothes.
ReplyDeleteBad fish, you're describing a good make-up and hair job. To do Mimi right, what you want is flat thin hair with a few sad wilting waves at the bottom, way too much bronzer, some greasy shiny stuff rubbed all over, thick black eyeliner and some fake hooker eyelashes.
ReplyDeleteThen get a hydraulic lift to get the fake tatas up, and hold them in place with a rubber hooker dress. Ta da!
Figgy, that's not a hydraulic lift, it's duct tape!
ReplyDeleteThis just all screams of insecurity.
ReplyDeleteIf someone else does her hair and makeup and it looks like crap, she can blame them. If she does her own hair and makeup and it looks like crap, she has no one to blame but herself, and who wants to be mad at themselves forever?
Nick, ever hear of Eddie Fisher and the stories he used to tell about waiting hours and hours for Elizabeth Taylor to get ready for an event?
ReplyDeleteWe all know how that ended.
what is this bitch too good for Fantastic Sam's?
ReplyDeletei bet Peppermint Patty can whip it up just fine! (this may only make sense to Canucks)
Oh, the drahma...
ReplyDeleteIt's not like Nick has a real job. He can quit playing lapdog long enough to learn styling tips. Maybe she'll stop looking like STREETWALKERs 'R US if he helps her out.
ReplyDeleteBitch wasn't going to be on time no matter what. She twittered tweeted? twat? whatever her excuses, so she could use the site as an alibi. Mentality of a 5th grader.
ReplyDeleteI can almost guarantee you that the public Mariah (who has a bit of a butterface) needs a lot of facial contouring, perhaps even with airbrushing.
ReplyDeleteI will bet even more that the 'hooker' part of her look is Mariah's input.
My guess is that she has cosmetologists on staff, but she has to be her own stylist. She's just too tragic to have been styled professionally.
I'm not vain at all, but even I can't imagine going to a red carpet having done my own hair and makeup. No way. Too many angles, too many flashbulbs. And every flub would be blown up on these innernets for snark value.
JMO, enty love...
Wait, WHAT? MC is a DIVA? No way!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Mariah on this one.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way I'd attempt to do my own hair (maybe my makeup) if I was going to walk the red carpet.
Well it's obviously too complicated for her to do. She has probably forgotten by now, how to brush her own teeth, combe her hair, bathe herself, put her clothes on... should I go on? All of this is just waaaay too much for her to do herself. I can't believe Enty is shocked about this. I think she's the biggest diva of them all and puts Madonna and Beyonce to shame.
ReplyDeleteIf she twittered how she did her own make-up and hair and that she made the party on time, that I would be SHOCKED about and would have a really hard time believing it.
