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.”

Mariah Carey given less makeup for new role

Did they beat her with an ugly stick or simply not give her makeup?

“Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.”

The legendarily high-maintenance pop diva underwent a soup-to-nuts physical transformation, checking her glossy celebrity patina at the door in order to convincingly portray the film’s Ms. Weiss: a drab but deeply empathetic soul helping a troubled teenager in ’80s Harlem. Far from the image Carey has cultivated for years, the character is no oil painting of music-video pulchritude, with her lank hair, a wardrobe of rayon sweater-coats and, yes, even a sparse mustache creeping across her upper lip.

“I had to lose all vanity,” Carey said. “I had to change my demeanor, my inside, layers of who I am, to become that woman.” Please, you can’t act!
