I don’t know. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter. Just look. Look at our Mimi in New York today wearing... a sports bra and a long skirt under a leather jacket. Heels, of course. While a security guard holds her hand. It was a good day.  Full Story

“Burnell, you made me cry!” *Randy Jackson voice* Yo for me, dawg, for me, Burnell Taylor’s audition in Baton Rouge last night, THIS is the most interesting moment of Mimi on Idol so far! Here’s the thing about Mariah on Idol - she can act so self-obsessed and deluded that it’s very easy to forget sometimes that she possesses, or at least once possessed, a truly rare and exquisite gift. Full Story

American Idol, Season 12, Episode 1 recap. (Lainey: Dean thinks the Mimi-Minaj drama is a fraud. I, as you know, think it’s legit. But I suck at recaps, and Dean’s more advanced at Mimi knowledge than I am. So here’s the first installment of what’s becoming the best show in the history of television. Full Story

Last fall, when the Mimi vs Nicki Minaj drama first blew up during American Idol auditions, I wrote that Mimi was outplaying Nicki and that Nicki needed a proper Bitch Coach. Click here for a refresher. You can’t lose your sh-t on Twitter and win against the Mimi. Full Story

If you’ve looked through these photos, you need no explanation. If not, by the end of this article, you will too love life. American Idol panelled on TCA yesterday featuring all judges, including, yes, Mimi and Nicki Minaj. And, well, journalists at the TCA, especially at panel sessions, don’t always have to kiss ass. Full Story

This is the idea. Here’s our Mimi on the beach in Australia after performing three shows there over the holidays. She’s home now but this photo was released yesterday, just making sure you know that she’s fit...if, ahem, you believe that this image is completely untouched. Guess what? Just one more week. Full Story

I know it’s supposed to be Lauryn Hill and the St Francis Choir and it’s blasphemy for me to suggest imagining Mimi as the subject of the song but... Look at her. Our Mimi. Look at her and tell me, don’t these lyrics apply? Clearly as the sun above Melts the clouds of sin and sadness Drive the dark of doubt away Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light Fill us with the light Oh fill us with the light of day It is Christmas. Full Story

GOD, did I need her today. Nothing stresses me out more than when I can’t get online. I’ve been cranky this morning. And then... Sunshine. My darling sunshine... Mimi, obviously. As I wrote the other day, it’s not really Christmas until Mimi’s in Aspen squished into a snowsuit and tottering on the ice in stilettos. Full Story

One of the greatest joys of Christmas is the sight of my Mimi in Aspen. Every year she jams herself into a skin tight snowsuit and tricks out a pair of fur boots -- sometimes with a heel -- and pretends that she knows how to ski. It’s a glorious annual tradition and it never really feels like Christmas until she’s there, tottering around on the icy sidewalk, in full hair and makeup, somehow always beautifully lit, clutching one of her dogs. Full Story

Sorry to interrupt your afternoon with some sexual awkwardness, but Nick Cannon has done something that we simply must address. Last week I wrote about how Mariah Carey loves to act sexy and sing about sexy sex but that her sex life still seems somehow unimaginable. Click here Full Story

(Lainey: meet Dean! We need a dude voice on this site that’s, um, a lot less tits and ass than what Jacek has to offer. You might recognise Dean from 1 Girl 5 Gays. And if you do, you understand why I’ve been in love with him for a long time. Please note however that I did not create the F-ck Yeah Dean McArthur Full Story

I just tried to imagine my Mimi tucked under a Christmas tree with her hair arranged around her the way they do wedding gowns, and her cleave propped up on a few presents, with her ass positioned towards the camera, and it filled me with such yearning -- why have we not seen this yet? Because, stupid, Mimi doesn’t belong under a tree, she should be ON TOP OF IT. Full Story

Or I might have to fight Sasha for the privilege. I’m at work in Toronto this week and it’s been a little old school. Duana, Sasha, Michelle, and I met at etalk several years ago. Back then it felt like camp. We don’t normally see each other every day and end up emailing back and forth several times instead. Full Story

Last year Mimi was part of the Incredibles. She, Nick Cannon, and DemBabies all dressed up in the same costume. It was truly family styles. Well... Enough.Of.That.Sh-t. F-CK. That sh-t. Why should Mimi be one of many? This year she righted the situation. This year Mimi was Goldilocks. Full Story
