Mariah Carey gets Bubbly on Free Champagne

Mariah Carey’s penchant for funning it up at awards shows this season was a popular topic of conversation during Sunday’s Golden Globes after-parties. (For the unaware: Carey, who’s been making the rounds with her fellow “Precious” cast mates, has been taking advantage of the free champagne at these things, then making rambling, semi-incoherent public statements).
Carey made no major scene at the Globes or during her brief appearance at the NBC after-party on the Beverly Hilton rooftop, but, because her husband Nick Cannon was so together, her (admittedly amusing) episodes are made even more obvious.
“Mariah isn’t the person you would meet at one of these things and you say, ‘Yeah, I’d really be interested in her for my upcoming project,’” said one television producer. “Nick, on the other hand, I actually have approached him for something I’m working on. And it has nothing to do with him being married to Mariah, it has everything to do with him proving to be better than anyone thought he’d be.”

Kayne West & Taylor Swift
On Nov 7th Taylor Swift will be joining the cast of SNL for another moment in the spotlight. Only this time, Kanye West won’t be there.
When asked if she had any plans to bring up the Kanye West incident, she had this to say.
“I’ve been thinking about skit ideas for a long time,” Swift, 19, admits. “There are definitely some hilarious things that have happened to me over the past couple of months that I think will be pretty substantial skits.”

On an evening when there were several surprises in the junior categories, the major awards at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards went to the same series and actors who won last year: 30 Rock for best comedy, Mad Men for best drama, and Bryan Cranston, Glenn Close and Alec Baldwin in their respective acting categories.
Toni Collette, who plays a mother with multiple personalities in the Diablo Cody’s comedic drama United States of Tara, was the sole Emmy newcomer in the major categories, winning best comedy actress over last year’s winner, Tina Fey.
