About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

New Stella quotes about Tommy (71,172) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) "How dare he? Whose career has he managed in 15 years? He couldn't walk a day in our shoes. We work our asses off. I wear bigger heels than his b---s." 2) "Since I started working with her, Mariah has had nothing but unbridled success." (Stella look up the meaning of unbridled, while you're at it, look up the meaning of success.) 3) "Her career has not taken a hit. Everything that she has touched since I started managing her has been a huge success." Yes before you Mariah Carey was a struggling artist, trying to make her mark, you made her relevant, that's what Zarina said at least. I can't deal with how immature and unprofessional this woman is. Taking a major international music royalty and cheapening her image and then when everyone else has moved on from this NYE disaster, she stays complaining about it. How butt hurt are you about Tommy's words that you are releasing statements to multiple publications? Why is it that you only speak up when you or your kids are being attacked but never do anything to take the heat off Mariah? Selfish. (Thursday 12 January 2017; 0:19)

Beauty and the Beast (71,171) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh so I have been wishing ever since the new "Beauty and the Beast" live action movie was announced that Mariah would do the theme song for it. But now supposedly Ariana and John Legend will do it. Stella obviously can never book her for these high profile things. It would have been so great if Mariah and John Legend sang it.

Re: Stella almost sent Tanaka home (71,121) (71,128) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Molly was not in the latest episode so fingers crossed she is fired. But of course Tanaka is still around and last episode was just full of Tanaka. Dude is cute and I found him attractive before, but now after seeing the how real his thirst for attention is, big turn off. (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 18:54)

Re: Record label wants to put out new single (71,123) (71,127) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Epic would need Mariah to promote it. Plus maybe they need Mariah's permission to release it since Mariah owns her music. They probably have the song ready though, I'm guessing it's the one she wrote with Crystal. I wish she'd just do a collaboration with The Weeknd and just release that first, to get the hype rolling. (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 18:51)

Eye roll (71,125) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Every other day some newcomer will come here and call the people who have been around forever "haters". But then disappear after a few days. I also find it funny when people say "this board is so negative, full of haters", so then why do you join? No one forced you, plus I see this same "this place is negative" comment on UKMix and some other boards. So people seem to have a hard time digesting facts and strong opinion. No one on this board denies Mariah's talent, her accomplishments, her potential and her legacy. However they have opinions that are mostly backed by receipts. Learn to accept others' opinions instead of pulling the hater cards. Coming on this board calling people "haters" or "you guys are old" is just lame and the easy way out. I saw someone on UKMix say "you guys are young fans that's why you hate on her". Like one can't win. This is a board, not a shrine, people will have mixed opinions, state your opinions without the childish "lambs vs goat" thing. And stop pretending like this board is the worst there is, if you find one that's all positive and unicorns and butterflies then by all means don't waste your time here. Why waste time with haters when you can dive in a pool of rainbow and sunshine? (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 18:49)

Re: New hit on the hands (71,113) (71,118) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To milk her back catalogue. (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 14:47)

Re: New hit on the hands (71,108) (71,117) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't forget LA Reid also green lighted "Infinity" as Mariah's comeback single. (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 14:45)

Re: Stella almost sent Tanaka home (71,106) (71,116) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This whole Tanaka drama was manufactured by Stella so her saying she wants to send Tanaka back was just her acting. (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 14:44)

Re: Stella blocking contact (71,083) (71,092) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm going to need Mr. Reid to break down Mariah's door and find her and get her out of that house. Stella is toxic whether she is blocking his calls or not. It's so scary and bizarre I can't even believe this is possible, but with Stella and how Mariah messed up so many times under her guidance, I should probably be able to digest it and believe it. Who do you think is the close friend? Kristofer? (Tuesday 10 January 2017; 2:38)

Re: MW episode 5: Mimi L review (71,075) (71,091) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Anthony actually isn't a diva, he actually comes across as the more professional one in the show. He has worked with Beyonce on several occasions and plays an important role in her tours too. In fact if I'm not mistaken, he left Mariah's group for 6 months in the middle to join Beyonce on the "Formation" tour, this is the time when Bryan was promoted to Creative Director but instantly banned from Caesar's by Packer (haha love that story). Anyways Anthony gets the work done, he doesn't kiss Stella's ass (everyone else does) and will fight her on behalf of his team. Like the bus incident, he did what he had to and voiced his concerns on behalf of his team, Tanaka on the other hand doesn't have a back bone and is an ass kisser. I won't lie, I find him quite cute looks wise, but he basically doesn't have a personality, whereas Anthony is handsome and has a strong personality and is goofy. Now 3 possible reasons for MC choosing Tanaka and not Burrell: 1) After being with a Mexican, an African American, white guys, and a part Italian, MC wanted to conquer the Asian market. (Diversity dahlin', diversity. Bias is bleak.) Haha. 2) Anthony has a kid and probably didn't want that foolishness. 3) Mariah needs a 24/7 kinda guy (just like Stella), who will follow her around the world like a puppy and stay with her all the time, and Anthony probably wouldn't do that because he stays booked through out, unlike Tanaka, who seems to have taken up the role of Mariah's dog Jack.

Blind Item about Stella and Tommy (71,069) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the link. I hope it's true haha. (Monday 9 January 2017; 19:42)

MW episode 5 : Mimi L review (71,068) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) It's that amusement park scene, well not amusement park, what do you call it? The scene where Mariah comes out of a slide and there are other kid rides there. Bryan is already trying to portray dad skills by playing with the kids and all. Rocky is a cutie. 2) Mariah talks about how people usually get jealous of her lifestyle but what she yearns for is a close knit family. She talks about how she sees people with big families, and they protect each other and she yearns for it because she never had it. She throws a little shade towards Alison and Morgan, she said how she never had the ideal situation with her family and then says, "I'm not talking about my mom, Shawn or Mike." 3) A very short scene with Mariah's friend Josefine and she gives a short background about how they used to live with each other and how Josefin would help Mariah get jobs as a waitress and how bleak the apartment was, sleeping on the floor and all. 4) Tequila shot moments. Mariah and her crew are having a small party at home, Anthony tells her how she should spend time with her dancers off stage to get them to know her because it's hard when they don't know her personally and see her for the first time when they have to perform and they get starstruck. A lot of flirtation going on between Mariah and Bryan. It's funny how on the show they all discuss how Bryan is always staring at Mariah and getting close to her but Mariah is equally responsible. She keeps on getting close and over flirty. It's cringe worthy because she's supposed to be engaged. 5) "I'm catching some hard feelings bro, for Miss Mariah" - Tanaka. He talks about how they have chemistry on and off stage. 6) Short scene with fans talking about Mariah being the soundtrack to their lives. Very short scene. 7) Tanaka's birthday celebrations. A lot of flirtation going on, MC trying to put a birthday hat on Tanaka. They are headed to Lake Como where all of them will stay in a 16 room mansion. Cut scenes to Bryan talking about how he's single and ready for that "special someone", implication is very clear about who that person is. Oh my, Mariah is talking about how she won't deny "there is chemistry". Girl, give back that 10 million dollar ring right now. 8) Second most cringe worthy thing in this episode, Mariah insists on being lifted in each dancer's arms and swung around while that person is carrying her. This isn't on stage, but rather around the house. At random moments she just goes up to the dancer and that person has to pick her up and twirl her around in his arms and apparently if they don't she remembers it. What kinda 13 year old mess is this? Why would a 46 year old woman insist being picked up and twirled around by different men just randomly around the house? Lord, this third dancer almost doesn't pick her up when and she throws her arms around his neck and starts dipping and saying "you gotta get me, or I'll do whatever". Stella is giving the side eye to Bryan. 9) Stella and Danielle are telling Kris about how Bryan is getting too cheeky with Mariah. 10) It's the scene where they all dressed up as Mariah. Bryan is openly talking about how great Mariah's ass is. Anyways the hilarious part is MC now goes to Tanaka for the "lift and twirl" and she dips and at that moment Tanaka's knee cap pops, so he has to go to the hospital, he won't be able to do a couple of shows. Anthony is upset because he has to rearrange the dance routine. They manage to do it nevertheless. Tanaka is super upset, almost crying because he doesn't want to be sent back home since he thinks that if he goes now, all the "progress" he made with Mariah will go to waste. Like boy she's engaged. Go home. 11) Ok I have to say, my favorite line of the show comes from Stella, yes. So Mariah is walking down a small flight of stairs at her house, and she is being held by 5 people, and she is talking about how upset she is about Tanaka getting hurt, when Stella say "Oh my God, he's going to live, let's not be so dramatic." I lived for that line. Favorite line from the whole series. 12) Stella is hell bent on sending Tanaka back home but Mariah says he should stay because apparently she feels sorry it happened on her tour. Like girl, bye. Stella tells Mariah she's amazing and very kind. Also calls Mariah her sister wife again. She however does finds it funny that Mariah wants to keep Tanaka around and teases Mariah. 13) "I don't wanna see you ever get hurt" - Rocky to Tanaka. Tanaka and Rocky are having a moment, where Tanaka is showing possible dad skills. Mariah is gazing at them with love. (Monday 9 January 2017; 19:36)

Re: Does Stella steal MW from Mariah (71,044) (71,052) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If they are saying that, I hope they say it more. The faster Stella gets her own reality show, the faster she'll leave Mariah. Also in the meantime Mariah will not appreciate someone else getting the spotlight so she'll fire her. Win win. (Monday 9 January 2017; 15:34)

Re: Voicemail (71,040) (71,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is Andrew bear finally coming to the path he has been accusing me off for a while now? Which is "Stella is manipulating Mariah"? Anyways now that you mention it, it might be a clever tactic. Everyone and their mother has been flooding Stella's instagram calling her nasty words and all. So she might have seen posts here about how we miss her voice mail days and got Mariah to read off a scripted monologue. I also think that this whole "sabotage" thing was an idea Stella planted into Mariah's head to cover up how Stella messed up big time. It wouldn't be difficult to plant it in Mariah's head because post-Glitter, Mariah has always been super paranoid about people stealing her idea. She has said that someone stole her idea during MIAM and then as recently as this year, she said someone just stole her idea "2 months ago", if I'm not mistaken. So since Mariah always feels a little insecure, it wouldn't be hard for her to buy into this sabotage narrative. (Monday 9 January 2017; 13:22)

Re: Thoughts (71,017) (71,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bless you, "Stella being fired", "fire Stella" and "free Mariah" are my current favorite phrases. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:21)

Re: Media and social media break (71,018) (71,026) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was actually thinking that maybe she got curious after what happened at NYE and then started to maybe Google herself and saw the mess Stella was bringing. I'm sure Mariah, the Mariah we know, would be horrified at her team member going on a foul mouthed rant. It doesn't go with her brand, she always keeps it classy and vague, but then again she has changed a lot in the past 2 years. Stella seems to be in Russia, or she just felt like posting a picture of Russia. What makes me doubt that Mariah has cleaned house is that Stella and her younger kid Sasha posted a picture of Mishka and Sasha with Monroe. Maybe Mariah told Stella to move out for a few days, fingers crossed. One has to be really blind to ignore all the negative things people are saying about Stella. It's not just her lambs and her previous team anymore, the whole world, including people from the industry are talking about how toxic Stella is. Mariah is smart, I hope she makes the right decision. Better to shake off the toxic family at the beginning of the year, take less work load and relax. If Mariah doesn't have to pay for an entire joint family of the Bulochnikovs and take them on multiple vacations, she won't even need to work hard to make more money. Stella kept Mariah booked throughout because of the 10% she'll get from it. (Monday 9 January 2017; 0:20)

Re: Mariah (71,019) (71,025) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hopefully this break is her finally realizing she has taken up more than she could chew and hence needs a break to get som much needed rest. Another "Glitter" parallel is right before that she kinda overworked herself to prove she was going to succeed post Sony and this time, after Rockefeller, she again overworked herself for 2 years straight, doing everything from tours, to festivals, to TV shows, singles and promo rounds. It must be really hard on her. So I'm glad she is taking a break before she collapsed from exhaustion. She deserves it. At this point, I don't even need an explanation regarding the NYE mess, I just want her to be happy and healthy and at peace and be surrounded with people that love her and can take care of her.

You all are peasants (71,009) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't with Mariah's World making fun of us regular people haha. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 21:03)

Audio (71,005) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just listened to the audio, it's good that she's taking a break, I hope she lays off the staged paparazzi shoots too. Just go to dinner without calling them to inform where you are. Lay low. You deserve a break. However I hope the break includes a break from her team. By the way why the sudden social media break? Like I'd understand if she was managing her own social media and was sick of seeing the backlash and all. But she doesn't do her own social media work and neither does she probably see the stuff written, so then what gives? Is Mishka busy? Haha. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:53)

Re: Her voice (71,001) (71,004) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha imagine if she used Mishka's voice. I would have a "on the bathroom floor" moment. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 20:48)

Re: Alpha-Tella? (70,964) (70,978) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm so jealous of Licia that she'll never have to deal with the second hand embarrassment of watching MW. Like Licia girl, you will be going on with your life thinking everything is fine and dandy, while I'm here getting permanent wrinkles between my eyebrows in my mid 20s from cringing so hard at the mess that is MW. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 8:09)

Re: Stella, you've revealed yourself (70,954) (70,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You tell 'em Edward. Exactly my thoughts, and the more she talks the deeper she's digging a grave for herself. (Sunday 8 January 2017; 8:03)

Re: Confirmed: "Molly" is an actress (70,922) (70,923) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For some reason this is pissing me off so much. Like I had no doubts before that this whole Molly thing is staged because well it was pretty obvious, but now to get this confirmation just pisses me off even more. MW is such a lost opportunity. Here people could really see the real Mariah, the artist, the performer, the writer, the singer, the mother, the human being. Instead we have this clueless haphazard mess that leads to nowhere. Tour documentary my behind, this is through and through a messy middle school level drama. Lord knows what Mariah was thinking green lighting this crap. This really also upsets me because I always like to think of Mariah as a forward thinking intelligent artist, and it's not wrong to think that either because in the past she has done a lot of stuff that later paved the way for others. The "Fantasy" remix, the "Glitter" soundtrack (since 80s music style is so in right now), and so many other things. So it makes me feel like this really can't be the same Mariah making these ridiculous business decisions, like what on earth? The same things that she has said she hates, she is seen doing out exactly those. This dumb ass "docu-series", buying weed openly, exposing too much, wearing that ring after her break up, staging a relationship with her back up dancer, being fine with getting labelled a "gold digger", a "match.com" advertisement, now she'll make a biopic, like girl where is the real Mariah and what have you done with her? With 3 movies that she is supposed to deliver this year, plus her tour with Lionel, a biopic, a possible second season of "Stella's World" and Christmas shows at Vegas, I wonder will Mariah even have time to do something that she says is her saving grace - making music? Really makes me sad and angry. End rant. (Friday 6 January 2017; 23:55)

Re: Comeback (70,918) (70,921) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To put this bluntly, don't expect a 2017 equivalent of TEOM era under Stella's guidance. In all honesty, I have no doubt Mariah can come up with several masterpieces, but back then she had a strong team to back her up. L.A. took it upon himself to make sure Mariah got a big comeback, it would help both of them cement their status (now LA is almost MIA, and nowhere to be seen), Benny Medina made sure Mariah's image was top notch, by getting her in all the A-list events, presenting her as the music royalty that she is (now we have a manager who is making every effort to put Mariah in the level of cheap reality show stars, and no I am not talking about Kardashians, because even the Kardashians exude more class and more believable story lines). Her PR was on point. Her manager didn't cry wolf and go around giving more interviews than Mariah herself. She didn't have a 13 year old being the medium between her fans and herself. She wasn't staging fake relationships. The public was rooting for her comeback because they saw her vulnerable side and how she too cracked under pressure which made people see her as a human being and relate to her. Nowadays we have a manager who keeps saying "she was the biggest star there", "she was doing them a favor" basically making her sound arrogant, that combined with the diva act which started as a joke but now has engulfed her has kinda turned people off. There is no doubt Mariah can have a huge comeback if she wants to but it won't be until Stella and her incompetent team of circus freaks are moved out. (Friday 6 January 2017; 21:00)

Re: Insecurity and childish nature (70,902) (70,906) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope she does more interviews so people know her more. The more people know her, the more highlighted her failures will be and then when she finally gets fired, people will know to avoid the Bulochnikovs like a plague. (Friday 6 January 2017; 14:12)
