Mariah: Forever Mess

Posted by Native NYker in fragrance launch, ifc spirit awards, macy's, mariah, mariah carey, mariah scarey on September 30, 2009


As I had somewhere else to be today, I opted out of cruising my ass down to the 34th Street special, aka Macy’s Herald Square, where Mariah Scarey (here pictured at the IFC Awards) was scheduled to do a promotional appearance for some toilet water launch called Forever.

But who the hell knew this basic of photo-ops would turn out badly.

Word has it that one of Mariah’s flunky pulled her out of the fragrance photo op cuz photogs asked her to take off her sunglasses twice. Which of course turned out to be done for another photo agency I won’t name…

WTF is that about??? Messy bitch pleeze!

Independent Mariah Spirit

Posted by Native NYker in glitter, ifc spirit awards, mariah, mariah carey, santa monica beach on March 3, 2009


I was shocked and dismayed to witness Mariah s-Carey arrive at the IFC Spirit Awards.

For the life of me I couldn’t figure out the correlation.

When some of the “fans” started yelling out ‘we loved you in Glitter!’ I simply assumed they were being facetious. But hey, at least she tried. I couldn’t deliver half the performance unless someone added some 5-6-7-8!

But perhaps that is what got her invited (without her boy in tow anyway…).

It was refreshing to see her looking so lucid. Ordinarily she arrives looking like she has amp’ed her meds and downed them with some vodka (I know the syndrome and have learned to recognize it at a distance!) Don’t you judge me!)

Mariah played up to her fans and the crowd roared. I appreciated the gesture and was thankful she didn’t serenade the crowd (I can’t take her music!)

I only hope that her next appearance will have Mr. Carey will be in tow (Nick is yummy to behold.)

Claire Danes: Signs Fat Head

Posted by Native NYker in claire danes, hugh dancy, ifc spirit awards, santa monica beach on March 2, 2009


What’s got Claire Danes’ so squeamish?

It was having to sign the fat balled head of some no-life professional autograph seeker at the IFC Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, last week.

From my birds eye view (I was on a ladder,) high above the revolting scene, I had the displeasure of witnessing it all play out – from beginning to end.

It started out all to innocently. Heavenly Hugh Dancy arrives with his new fiance – Claire Danes. He escorts her from their car to awaiting fans. They dutifully sign autographs for the mobs, all the while being gracious enough to make eye contact every once and again with interwoven pap-pers who were shut out of coverage on the carpet, and then it all went to shit.

I know girl ran and used a hand sanitizer hidden in her publicist purse.

Hell, I was grossed out myself given that, from my vantage point, I had long ago spotted the sweat dripping down the rolls of his neck from said head. Had I taken the time to eat breakfast, I would have surely upchucked it!

The sad part (it does get sadder!) is that she wasn’t the first to pen on the barren landscape!

Alec Baldwin had done the initial honors and left this mamoth individual to gloat to all within earshot (and then some, thanks to cell phones) about how his “favorite” actor had signed his fat balled head.

Seriously, WTF?

Diaz at IFC Awards

Posted by Native NYker in cameron diaz, charlies angel, farrah fawcett, ifc spirit awards, monet, santa monica beach on February 27, 2009


Cameron Diaz was among the many who attended the IFC Spirit Awards on Santa Monica Beach this year.

She is truly like a Monet. Good from far but far from good once you get up close.

But whatever I can say about her at least she ventured over to the sidelines where my ass was stationed as the PR folks refused my credential for coverage on the actual carpet.

“Space issues,” was the official refusal, although they had enough space to stage a Cirque du Soleil tent. Fuckers!

So there I was amongst the many a fan on the long stretch of beach along with the horde of the most irritating bunch of professional autograph hounds this vast land of ours offers, trying to get a photo.

All in all, I got some kick ass material, no thanks to the girth and annoyance of aforementioned “fans.”

Diaz will be reprising her role in yet another “Charlie’s Angel” flick soon.

Although I am a fan of the franchise, much like the sideline I occupied at this awards show, I remain on the fence on her being the stand-in for a Farrah Fawcett originated role. She isn’t even a real blond! At least she is sporty…
