Mariah Carey’s favorite baby-shower present

The singer was recently treated to a very lavish baby shower so naturally Mariah Carey received a great deal of presents, probably one more amazing than the other. However, Mariah Carey’s very favorite one was a book made by her fans. This is what the singer had to say of this very special present: “We so had a ‘moment’ in the middle of the shower when they presented the book to me and everyone thought it was the cutest, most thoughtful thing ever! It was the best moment of the night. I can’t wait for the twins to read the messages and feel the love!” Mariah Carey’s children will probably be too busy playing with the golden, mechanized poodles to bother with a silly little fan-made book… at least the parents appreciated it.

Erykah Badu Smells

Erykah Badu Smells

If there have been legions of others that came before you, is it still considered selling out when you partner up for something that completely commercializes you? I guess there’s no such thing as selling out anymore as Erykah Badu is the latest celebrity to cash in on her fame by becoming the spokesperson for a beauty brand. The neo-soul singer has been named the face of Tom Ford’s new fragrance which is yet to be named. I wonder what it would smell like. Would it smell like the scents that Erykah likes – incense and weed? If so, should it have to be legalized?

Celine Dion Can be Bad

Celine Dion Can be Bad

Celine Dion is the music industry’s epitome of a good girl but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what all the bad girls do. The Canadian singer knows how to unwind and have fun without going overboard.

She recently had an interview in which the multi-platinum selling artists talked about experimenting with drugs and getting drunk. Here’s the deal, she’s never done drugs and only drinks occasionally. Champagne and a glass of wine she says. The most drunk she has ever been was at Vegas nightclub Pure when she had three double tequilas at a party. That’s one singer who would never need to go to rehab.
