Remember when she had a penchant for butterflies, rainbows, and all things pink and purple? Now it’s all about angels for Mariah Carey.

Princess Mariah
The 13-year-old is forever in Mariah Carey. She’s always about butterflies, purple and pink, teenybopper ensembles, and princess-y clothes.
In last Thursday’s concert at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the 40-year-old singer came out on a swing wearing a ruffled princess dress, reminiscent of those sweet sixteen parties on MTV.
It’s no wonder director Lee Daniels nicknamed her Princess Tippytoes. According to Wenn, Lee’s first meeting with Mariah gave him an unforgettable impression of her. “Mariah was born as an embryo in stiletto heels,” he joked. “She walks—even in her home—on her f**king toenails! I said, ‘This woman is not going to work if you’re walking like Princess Tippy Toes.’”
Mariah Launches Her Own Champagne
Smart comeback. After people poked fun at her apparent drunken acceptance speech at the Palm Springs International Festival, Mariah Carey announced the launch of her own special champagne, Angel Champagne by MC.
The singer blames her loopy speech on having too much champagne on an empty stomach that night. “[sic] Didn’t realize they put the champagne on the tables, So we WOULDN’T drink it! LoL. No, seriously ANGEL CHAMPAGNE (ROSE) by MC coming soon!” she tweeted last week.
This is Mariah’s second wine creation. Mariah Zinfandel was launched in 2006, after she invested in the Mariah Vineyard Zinfandel, a winery in Mendocino County, California. Angel Campagne by MC will hit stores towards the end of 2010. Cheers!
Mariah Carey’s Acceptance Speech
…at the recent Palm Springs International Festival is described by many as, well, drunken. See for yourself:
She won the Best Breakthrough Artist Award for her role as Ms. Weiss, a welfare caseworker in the urban drama Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire.
As presenter and Precious director Lee Daniels escorted her to the stage, she greeted him with a dance and a hug, after which she stumbled throughout her speech. “I have to say this is—and please forgive me because I’m a little bit, um… yeah. Oh my goodness,” she rambled in the beginning of her speech.
She tried to get to back to planet earth by talking about the people who made the movie possible, but she suddenly burst into an applause as she praised the director’s work.
I would love to focus on Mariah’s acting skills in Precious, which is a huge improvement from her Glitter days, but the video of her acceptance speech is just, well, precious. We still love you, Mariah!
How They Welcomed 2010
It’s the Year of the Tiger, according to Chinese astrology. “Rawr,” I say! We spied on Hollywood’s party animals to see how they unleashed their inner tigers (and tigresses) on New Year’s Eve.
Lady GaGa performed at the Fontainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. It wasn’t just her new ‘do and getup that spelled extravagant; she reportedly checked in a $15,000-a-night penthouse.
Kim Kardashian at a Pre-New Year’s Eve Party at Eve Nightclub, Las Vegas.
Pam Anderson was escorted by some interesting creatures at the Gridlock 2010 New Year’s Eve bash at Paramount Studios, Hollywood.
Hot mommies Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie left the little ones at home to party in Vegas. Nicole hosted the LAVO party with beau Joel Madden, while Christina hosted and performed at TAO.
Fergie (right) performed with the Black Eyed Peas at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. It was one of the many gigs they had for the New Year weekend.
Mariah Carey got her Mimi on at Madison Square Garden in New York, while hubby Nick Cannon played deejay offstage.
She may have gotten the crowd going at Times Square, but I’d stay away from the skintight suit if I were J.Lo.
