Tanaka, Cruella and show (68,853) by Mara from United States Why do I feel like there was filming in Hawaii and this too will be included in the "reality show"? Sorry that is what it is. This story or eyewitness account of witnessing M and B in such great detail on the beach just screamed Stella. We all knew this was coming and I had a feeling when she announced so many shows in Hawaii especially around Thanksgiving. All the pics of Mariah cooking and Stella's mother there and Mariah going grocery shopping in that awful outfit. I looked at those pics that Stella posted of everyone having such a good time and living the dream and whatever else she added to the pics and I couldn't help but think Mariah paid for all of these people and the tag alongs and she is paying Stella and the rest at the same time. No wonder Stella is living the dream. She is draining MC's bank too. She will never let MC go. She has it made. Plus she is a reality tv star now too along with her entire family. I wonder what Mottola thinks of all of this. I know he was controlling and MC was not happy with him and I'm glad she was able to gain her freedom and enjoy her success the way she wanted to. But this group of people just seem like leeches. I honestly think this reality show was Stella's master plan all along and honestly her only goal, as everything else was used as a storyline for this master plan. Tour, relationships, meet and greets, basically everything was used with the exception of Vegas as that was done already. Everything else was for this show. I wonder when this lovely idea came into play. Was it at a party with Ratner and Stella was there, maybe James too? Only my opinion, but with all that is going on in M's life right now, it leads me to see nothing else. All in all though, I do believe she is into Tanaka. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 20:33)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,844) (68,852) by RibbonB from USA I know, Variety gave an interesting review, but why would she call her own show, or "life" lunacy? Hoping for the best. I don't watch any reality shows, but the reviews and tweets or rehash on entertainment shows keep me somewhat aware of them. I am sure there will be plenty of posts to read next week.

Re: Stella, Bryan and gang are users bleeding Mariah (68,834) (68,851) by SM from Citizen of the World I agree it's ridiculous. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:24)

Re: Divas (68,842) (68,850) by RibbonB from USA I have been hoping so too, but something tells me this will be a moment for maximum press for her show. I hope it is in a very good way that you describe. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:21)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,835) (68,849) by RibbonB from USA Hey if anything is real, then it is what it is. But we have seen them laying this scenario out before us, Mariah in a parody of herself as the Variety review says. With scripted drama and conflict. It is sad that she would so willingly do all of this and involve her children. But real or fake, it's worrisome to me that she would regress back to 2001 like scenarios with these two along for the ride like it's perfectly safe and "normal". (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:13)

(68,848) by Liz Archer from Sweden Rant alert. Why does she keep wearing those aweful cloths with her chest area completely popped open? I hate those bra suspensions cloths. End rant. But seriously it doesn't look good. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:11)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,825) (68,846) by Lila from United States Nick was not living off Mariah's dime by a long shot. When he and Mariah traveled somewhere together, he was on the private plane. That's logistics. When he went somewhere, by himself, he traveled commercially. Now that they're divorced, and we know Nick can afford to fly private, he still, 9/10, flies commercial. That's what he prefers. If Mariah was willing to fly commercial, he probably would have had her along on a commercial flight but that's not Mariah. The NYC penthouse and Bahamas home were purchases that Mariah made before she and Nick were even married so I don't see how they figure into anything. The home he and Mariah owned in Cali they went half on. Nick owned his own home before he married Mariah, he also bought a home for his mom and grandparents. He bought the engagement ring he gave to Mariah. People started taking Nick seriously because they thought to themselves that if Mariah married him after 11 years of being single then he must have some appeal? It certainly couldn't have been many people. Let's not act like a great majority of the public takes Mariah seriously because they don't. If they didn't take her seriously, they wouldn't have taken Nick seriously. People started taking Nick seriously because he put in the hard work to make that happen. People will always acknowledge and respect hard work, even more so than any amount of talent someone displays. The only thing marrying Mariah gave Nick was more visibility, that's it. Everything else he had to work for. If he had no hard work in him, if he wasn't constantly trying to get to the next level, people would've continued to believe that he was a joke and question why Mariah married him. Also, Nick didn't have "a job" before he married Mariah. That's what Tanaka has. He had multiple careers. He was an actor, a writer, a producer, and an entrepreneur. Still is. Lastly, it's crazy to believe that Nick had nothing to lose in his relationship to Mariah. Tanaka has nothing to lose. He's a back-up dancer that most don't know unless they're diehard fans and even some of them didn't know who he was. Nick was the smaller celebrity when he got with Mariah but he was still a celebrity. Many people think a great many things about Mariah, good and bad, but will still give her career credit and props, even if it's just the 90's portion. They will still acknowledge that she's self-made and has a boat load of money, at that. She's an A-list celebrity, regardless. Nick didn't have that cushion. If his and Mariah's relationship went South too soon, or he was seen to be at fault in any big way, or if he wasn't on his A-game and trying to improve himself always, his image could've taken a serious beating and possibly never recovered. Nick didn't have everything to lose but he had a lot. Mariah had nothing to lose. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 17:07)

Re: Stella, Bryan and gang are users bleeding Mariah (68,839) (68,845) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wouldn't take that as him giving us a bad name, or any race for that matter. He is responsible for his own act and I can't even fully blame him because why would he give up the opportunity if Mariah is throwing money and herself at him for ratings? I mean dude has got to pay his bills right? It's like a job assignment for him. Real life acting if you please, if anything Mariah should be the one ashamed for going against everything she said she valued (privacy, talent, authenticity, no-drama, being genuine) and acting thirsty at this stage of her career where she stands to lose a lot, and taking her kids through this roller coaster ride with her.

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tarantula (68,820) (68,844) by Lila from United States I'm at least hoping for a decent ending with no ceremony to anybody lol. I'm hoping. That Variety article you posted was really good. It also confirms my previous thoughts about the whole show. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 16:58)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tanaka (68,838) (68,843) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter In a recent interview she was asked if she watches the Kardashian show as it's on the same channel and she had this expression like you know she's about to throw some shade but she says something like she doesn't watch TV. Now rich of Mariah to still stay shading reality shows when she is essentially doing the same thing no matter how she tries to spin it. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 16:58)

Divas (68,842) by B from USA I hope Mariah took the diva rehearsals and prep seriously and gives an amazing performance. Don't blow your chance by lipping or giving an underwhelming lifeless performance. Bring your A game and remind people of who you are and why they loved you. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 16:51)

Re: Stella messing everything up (68,799) (68,841) by B from USA I had never heard of James Packer before he started dating Mariah. Lets not act like he didn't benefit from this agreement. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 16:42)

Re: Mariah's World (68,828) (68,840) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Finally, some clips with actual substance. Hope this type of footage dominates the entire show and they edit out the wedding parts to as few scenes possible because it's not like that was ever gonna happen anyway and it would just be a poor, cheap storyline. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 15:21)

Re: Stella, Bryan and gang are users bleeding Mariah (68,834) (68,839) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Sorry for drawing a race angle off of this issue but if it's proven that Tanaka is really using Mariah for the perks, then he's giving us Asians a bad name. Shame on Mariah for not seeing it, double shame on Tanaka for doing such thing whilst carrying an easily identifiable Asian surname. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 15:17)

Re: Mariah spotted kissing Tanaka (68,814) (68,838) by Butterfly from Next up is pregnancy story line. They're so stupid it's obvious what they're pre-planning. Mariah is agreeing with all of this but she can never keep it up with the K's. She'll get sick and tired of them and never look back again, I just hope it's sooner than later. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 14:46)

Re: Mariah's World another review (68,827) (68,837) by Martyn from England, UK Oh gosh, this whole Molly thing sounds so contrived and awful. This show is going to be a car crash. Strangely, I can't wait. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 14:41)

Stella (68,836) by Butterfly from I'm letting Stella dig her own grave. Go ahead boo do your thing. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 14:40)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,832) (68,835) by Licia from USA My biggest problem is not that she chose a dancer. I'm in no position to judge her if that's what her heart wanted. I didn't really get her and Nick together, but she was happy and he seemed to have kept her grounded. My issue is that I don't believe she is really with this man and that they are playing with the press and the general public for ratings. I'm not ok with her whoring out a fake relationship for attention and even if it was real I still wouldn't like it. She's never had to do that. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 12:40)

Stella, Bryan and gang are users bleeding Mariah (68,834) by Sheila from United States Any "normal" human being can see these parasites have attached themself to Mariah and are using her for trips, money and fame. This is bad. We all sit and make fun but this group has circled around her and she can't see the light. Bryan is a back-up dancer who took his entire family to Hawaii and I bet Mariah paid for that. Stella's entire family and friends travel to each Mariah show. This group is probably worse than Tommy. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 12:14)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,822) (68,833) by RibbonB from USA Lol, may as well laugh I say. I will be on vacation and off the board most of December and I don't plan to watch or comment on the show. There may be new people who find the board to join in on the festivities, as that usually happens when there is media frenzy. At least I am sure MW people want a frenzy of press and frenzy. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 11:46)

Re: Mariah kissing Tang (68,825) (68,832) by RibbonB from USA Mariah said he paid for the ring, as Barbara so rudely asked Mariah and any one living with her would be living where she lived, but he did have his own dwellings prior to the marriage. Bryan as an employee is on another level and M. has kept those types before. One became a problem and the other probably got his standing O. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 11:40)

Re: Amber C. (68,830) (68,831) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Tanaka is part Japanese dahlin'. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 10:31)

Amber C. (68,830) by Nikki from usa "Also call me crazy but last year a YouTube psychic said that Mariah will finally settle for an Asian man lol. As in third time's the charm. She also said Nick will get sick, and will get a woman pregnant. The funny thing is, she kept on insisting that Iggy had Asian lineage. But you see the similarities? They're both Australian, and Iggy Is no Asian." I don't know if you're still on this board or not, and I know nothing about Iggy, however Nick did get sick again and got a girl pregnant. So, far 2/3 ain't bad. Packer might not be Asian, but I do believe the Hawaiian ancestry of Tanaka has Asian lineage. That would be wild if they really did turn out to be a thing. Where did you find that YouTuber? (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 7:11)

Mariah's World (68,829) by Manny from U.S. I saw the new clip of Mariah's World. I enjoyed the interaction between Mariah and Big Jim Wright at the piano. This is the side I love to see of her, the creative  side. You can tell they really enjoy working together. This duo has created such beautiful masterpieces. I hope they show more of this. Hopefully they'll show some clips of her in the studio. I also would like to see her warming up and backstage routine. (Wednesday 30 November 2016; 6:38)
