About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,952) (75,962) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The only thing that hurts even more than knowing that such a brilliant and kind artist has passed away way before his time is that he was taken by a group of hungry leeches, who used, abused and then killed him for their own benefit. Michael was used by everyone around him basically, family, "friends" and business associates. (Friday 2 June 2017; 12:18)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,958) (75,960) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I honestly don't understand how Mariah doesn't see what a bag full of incompetence this Stella is. I mean let's even put aside the fact that Stella has zero knowledge about the music industry and management. Let's look at Stella's main field - reality TV. She got Mariah on it, and failed even there. The show was a complete and utter mess, which did Mariah no favors. Stella is using her opportunity to get herself involved in as many partnerships as possible with Mariah to make sure she can milk it even if she gets fired. Wonder when Mariah will realize that Stella only brought Mariah down only to upgrade the Bulochnikovs status. (Friday 2 June 2017; 12:15)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,951) (75,954) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You all are making me more impatient to watch this. Ugh I've been wanting to watch this ever since they announced Navi will do it. Mariah's case of relying on leeches is so similar to Michael's, it's scary. I hope she manages her finances on her own. The way she is footing the bill for taking Stella's entire family around the world (like I get she needs an entourage of hair dressers, bodyguards etc but what on earth do people like Stella's dad, Stella best friend and that friend's family and all have to do on these trips?) then Stella dishing out hundreds and thousands of dollars to "buy" cars for a 14 year old (who can't drive) and Mariah (who won't drive), and all these ridiculous endorsement deals she has Mariah on really worries me. The random as hell endorsement deals worry me the most because she has no reason to do these unless she wants/needs the money. (Friday 2 June 2017; 00:38)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,925) (75,929) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya it's only been a few days, well if you happen to come across any in the near future, do let me know. Michael and Mariah has so many parallels. Growing up poor, incredible voices and incredible artists, both paved the way for many newer artists, both full of insecurities (Navi was saying that MJ praised his dance moves and when Navi praised him back, MJ was like "Me? You really think so?", it's cute since MJ, probably the most iconic entertainer in the world), both having stage nervousness, both being betrayed multiple times and finally just isolating themselves, both falling in the hands of leeches, both just having their kids as family, these are just some parallels. I hope Mariah wakes up soon, Michael himself once said he is worth upwards of a billion dollars and look at where he was around the end. (Thursday 1 June 2017; 01:47)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,922) (75,924) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter RibbonB, can you do me a favor and let me know if there are any links where I can watch the movie. I really wanted to watch it, since Michael was and will continue to be my favorite artist ever, but unfortunately we don't have Lifetime here and I can't seem to find any links for it.

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,907) (75,910) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter By shading Stella do you mean what he said about how the person who leaked the news shouldn't have done that? Is he really shading her though? Last time when he went on a spree talking about how only he is loyal to Mariah, I thought it was shade, now I don't know. If true, I wonder if he ever spoke to MC about his feelings regarding Stella. (Wednesday 31 May 2017; 14:43)

Dog walking app (75,895) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella has got Mariah another stone groove smash hit endorsement deal, a dog walking app. Every A list celebs wish they could land such a deal. (Wednesday 31 May 2017; 00:11)

The diva demands on set (75,888) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I completely get Mariah refusing to be "shot" with a gun that kills her off in the movie. First of all she's playing herself, why would she want to get shot, it's not a character, it's Mariah. Second with all the violence around, I understand she might not be comfortable with such morbidity, this is a sensitive topic. What I don't get is how she only got to know about this on the day of the filming. I'm sure when hiring her, they gave a briefing of what they expected, why didn't her team out right refuse it then and there and suggest the changes before Mariah signed? Stella are you so freaking busy counting money that you didn't even read? Can you even read or is your reading capability on the same level as your contouring skills? Secondly why sign on to sing a song and not sing? I honestly am so confused, jeez. What on earth is going on? (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 20:08)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,883) (75,886) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While there is a chance that there was "more to the story than we know", you think Mariah's team wouldn't have released a statement saying all those "gold digger, fame hungry, user" stories were untrue? Come on now, they even released a statement that Mariah didn't have a "feud" with Joe Jonas at the NYE event, and that is something no one even reported on, yet they addressed it. They responded to some story about Mariah getting it on with Tanaka at a restaurant loo, yet another story I didn't hear about before they responded. Yet when multiple stories were leaked about Tanaka, not one to oppose it? Shawn wasn't even in contact with Mariah all these months, he said it himself that he hasn't spoken to her since Christmas, up until his birthday recently. Don't know why he even bothered answering stuff. (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 19:11)

Re: Mariah lost the plot after Memoirs (75,878) (75,885) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although it frustrates me to no end that Mariah seems to have completely dropped promoting anything (especially after hyping it up before the release only to never speak of it again), I think I can still take that over the phony reality TV star drama that has been going on since the last 2 years. I mean fine, if she just wants to release stuff without caring how it does on the charts, it's up to her. Yes, we as fans will always want her to get one more hit era especially after the blow her image and career has received recently, but if Mariah says she's fine with releasing stuff without caring about the charts, I'm cool with it, but don't give us missed signals. Like you say you don't care, but yet you are going out of your way to risk all that you have achieved by acting like a budding reality star, "to stay relevant" is just confusing and doesn't make sense to me. Why drum up unnecessary publicity? Especially stuff that is so blatantly fake that no one, absolutely no one buys it anymore. The Tanaka angle, come on, really? Ever since Stella came on board, it's like Mariah can't stay single for a second. We get the Packer drama, even before that ended, we get the Tanaka drama. Before that even left the cooker, we immediately get bombarded with photos of Nick and Mariah going out to eat every single day, and stories about how they are back. Then suddenly Tanaka is back and Nick has completely disappeared. Stella for all the "empower women" bullshit you keep talking about, why are you making Mariah seem like she can't stay a second without a man? Mariah why are you going through with this? And who on earth goes out to eat every night all decked up, to known paparazzi infested places? You all gotta decide what you really want. Don't ruin your legacy to appeal to teens, who at the end of the day won't really buy music until it appeals to their taste. At this rate, it seems like Stella has left the Kardashian route and is instead taking the Bella Thorne route. (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 19:04)

Martyn on Wendy (75,884) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm sorry if this has been posted here before me, but Wendy had a minute long segment on her show about Martyn. As we know, Martyn was supposed to be in the US right about now and he booked tickets on the Wendy show for 2 consecutive days. Wendy kept a seat for him in his honor and contacted his friend to let her know that she's honoring him. She spoke a little about him. It was sweet and a gesture he would appreciate. Martyn, gone, but not forgotten. (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 18:59)

Re: I was born at night, not last night (75,837) (75,844) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Preach sister. I was thinking the same. First of all, like I mentioned before, no one was keeping tabs on Mariah's "relationship" with Bryan and the only stories we got were stories her team pushed. They are no "power couple" hence any stories on them is not worth the effort for any outlets. It can't be a coincidence that right after the stories "broke out" of their break up from TMZ, Bryan was suddenly not seen in her entourage, whereas right up until that he was all around the world with her. Also right after Bryan's exit, we kept on getting new pictures of Nick and Mariah together on a daily basis with stories about them getting together again, but right after Bryan got back Nick is completely out of the picture? I also noticed that when Bryan was gone the necklace from James was also gone, but now it's back from the time Bryan got back, like what on earth? Now with Shawn's exchange with the fan, it again doesn't add up. Their "narratives" and stories have always been inconsistent and silly. It's like a 5 year old is their PR executive, oh wait maybe it's Sasha. Y'all thought Mariah's World season 1 is messy, wait until you get season 2. (Monday 29 May 2017; 00:17)

Re: Stephen from London (75,824) (75,843) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Andrew, I can't. I didn't even see the initial exchange and actually scrolled down to go and see what on earth you were talking about. I don't even drink, so I can assure you that you saw it right. (Monday 29 May 2017; 00:09)

Re: Mariah on TMZ (75,825) (75,833) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Are you talking about her greeting the people on the TMZ tour bus? (Sunday 28 May 2017; 12:08)

Re: Brown hair (75,830) (75,832) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I apologize, it was autocorrected, I typed in Matty. (Sunday 28 May 2017; 12:07)

Re: Why a beauty shop? (75,790) (75,792) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Only the Kardashians would never pull such a foolish stunt. All their business ventures are thought out and organized and "successful". I put successful in quotations because that's a key word. Team Bulochnikov however pulls out ideas from their arse crack *insert fake British accent* and throw it against a wall and they go with whatever sticks. Unfortunately nothing stuck since all of these bright ideas are abandoned half way or right after its release. I'm sure little Mishka was out there saying "Oh M, Kylie has a cosmetics line, you should totes have one for yourself, you're so hot" and bam they went shopping for an outlet.

Re: Tribute concert (75,780) (75,791) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That was really nice of her. I am not a fan of Ariana but this was a nice gesture and I do feel bad for her too because even though this incident was not her fault, I'm sure she feels somewhat guilty that it happened right after her concert so she might feel indirectly responsible. That's a heavy weight to carry, especially at such a young age, or any age for that matter. I heard her mom helped some of the kids out by ushering them backstage. Ariana must be traumatized too, so it's brave of her to return to the same place, so I respect her for that. It indeed is a sweet gesture. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 02:26)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey slammed for her "bananas" behaviour (75,776) (75,778) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Had it been a "sources said" story I would have said maybe it's made up, but since her co-star gave that quote, I don't think it's going to be false. I don't get why she would take up a singing role and then say she won't sing? (Friday 26 May 2017; 20:01)

Next in line - beauty products? (75,777) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So according to Page Six, MC and SB are planning on opening a beauty company which will feature make up, skin care and fragrances. Now while I think the beauty and skin care goes hand in hand with Mariah, since she has flawless skin, there are several things that are wrong with this move. 1) Why on earth would Mariah have yet another partnership with Stella? They already have a production house together, next thing you know Stella will be the executive producer of her next album, and like some other lamb pointed out on UK Mix, by the time Mariah realizes what a piece of garbage Stella is, Stella will be entitled to 50% of Mariah's property and have custody of Roc and Roe haha. 2) Stella cannot blend her blush/contour, the last time she highlighted she looked like she got hit by a glitter wall, she is a walking talking Oompa Loompa that can give Trump a run for his money/orange skin, and her whole makeup is a muddy mess and she looks like someone who hasn't showered in years. Who would want to buy beauty products from her? Seriously Stella doesn't know the difference between a contour powder/cream and mud. 3) And this is a more practical concern, why would they straight up open a shop and not test the market first? I mean most independent makeup companies now (Kat Von D, Too Faced, heck even Kylie) first release a limited range of products online first, test out the demand, then they will add to the range but still keep it strictly online, then they test out pop up stores and finally if there is enough demand they either first try selling at Sephora and then think about going for their own stores. Is Mariah going by her success of the MAC line by taking such a big step because that will be a mistake. The MAC line didn't only sell out for her own name. First of all MAC in itself is a well established brand, second the packaging was the main selling point especially the lipstick bullets and the bronzer with her face, third some people like collecting makeup and this was a perfect collector's item as it was the best packaging MAC ever had. I own a lot of the products from that line and I can say that the stuff she released won't work for many people. So I don't know why on earth she's making such a big investment without testing it out. (Friday 26 May 2017; 19:56)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey back in business with Hallmark Channel (75,773) (75,775) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'll behave when Mariah's cleavage starts behaving. (Friday 26 May 2017; 18:26)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey back in business with Hallmark Channel (75,760) (75,762) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter In case you actually thought I was serious, it was a joke. Edward is awesome, j'adore Edward. Oh look I'm French now haha. (Friday 26 May 2017; 12:49)

Re: Daydream (75,747) (75,758) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Daydream" is cute and all but "Butterfly" is freaking perfection. That album, the songs, the lyrics, the cover art, the videos, no flaws. The only song I skip on that album is TBO, I know it's a fan favorite, but I just never liked it. (Friday 26 May 2017; 12:09)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey back in business with Hallmark Channel (75,753) (75,757) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Edward is a mess and a hater. (Friday 26 May 2017; 12:05)
