Mariah Carey shocked and nauseated the world with Glitter, the singer's simply atrocious 2001 big screen flop.

While one would think the 38-year would be inclined to stay away from the movie business, Ms. Carey's picked herself up and thrown herself back into acting. And apparently she doesn't suck:

The Grammy winner put away her lip gloss to play the battered wife of a state trooper in "Tennessee," which won raves at the Tribeca Film Festival. Director Lee Daniels was so impressed with her grit that he's cast her in "Push," in which she plays a Harlem social worker ministering to an obese, HIV-positive woman impregnated twice by her father.

Carey's also reportedly working on a musical set to her Christmas album. The story will revolve around an evil developer looking to build a mall in a small town. Sounds perfect.

Eternal 12-year-old Mariah Carey reverted back to 1982, when she was at her ideal age, with this horrendous outfit at a TRL taping.

You’re telling us Mimi has all the money in the world and she chose to go with an outfit (complete with glittery belt) one could find at a garage sale?

We give up…

Had you told us that little Nick Cannon would one day marry Mariah Carey, we wouldn't believe it. Reviewing this video for Gigolo, however, it's all starting to make sense. They're made for each other.


Here it is: the new video for Mariah Carey's latest single, "Bye Bye," which was directed by her then-future, currently-new hubby, Nick Cannon.

Our soul sister Lauren Williams of Stereohyped fame described the video as "cheesy Mariah at her cheesiest." Basically, this shit's like fondu, only twice as fattening. Oh, and it's looong!

Now that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have sealed the marital deal, the kids over at Pretty On The Outside offered this amalgamation of the celebrities' features.

Is this what a Carey/Cannon love child would look like all growed up? And, if so, is this creature pre-op or post-op?

Mariah Carey and much younger man Nick Cannon have tied the knot, which means we'll never fulfill our dream of being Mrs. Nick Cannon. Until they get divorced, of course. [SH]

Recently slimmed down singer Mariah Carey intimated that her weight loss may inspire a work out video, but she's well aware that it would be an insta-punchline: "…When you're constantly having your picture taken and on TV like I am, well, I could see I really did need to lose some of the bulk. I might be doing a workout video, which will be a big joke anyway, but I can show how I did it." This reminds us of her MTV Cribs appearance when Carey lamented that she wasn't allowed to eat pizza or, basically, anything. Can you tape and sell that? [NME]

The gays love themselves some Bjork, which may explain why Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste and Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy decided to cover the singer's track, "Possibly More." This isn't the first time the gay gents have gone after more mainstream singers - they once tackled Mariah Carey's "Fantasy." It's - um, you can judge for yourself.

Even Stephen Hawkings' Voice Can't Make Her Sound Smart

Singer Mariah Carey shouldn't be allowed to speak - period:

Before a big show I’m not allowed to speak for two days. It’s boring writing notes. I need Stephen Hawking’s voice machine so I think and it comes out in a robot voice.

Because God forbid Carey go two days without offering the world her wisdom.

Mariah Carey appeared at the unveiling of the new "Jury Duty" stamp yesterday. And, in true Ms. C style, the singer preened and posed for photogs. Broadway legend Bernadette Peters also appeared at the socially conscious event. Peters didn't strike such dramatic poses, but she looked fab, anyway.

See more shots, after the jump…

We once thought Mariah Carey could do no wrong.

Looking at this ad for her new perfume ("M By Mariah Carey"? Barf.), we realize we've been such fools! Mariah Carey can do wrong and you're looking at it.

Aside from the entirely unnatural pose and impossibly svelte, smooth body, we're particularly appalled by the scent's slogan: "An ethereal presence. Captivating like a song." What does that even mean?!

Does it mean, "This perfume's cheap and will evaporate quickly, but I'm a musician, so you'll buy it because you love my music"? Probably. And, you know what, Ms. Carey? We're not buying it.

In fact, we're launching an international boycott until you change that slogan to something more palatable.

Be warned, Mariah, your empire will soon fall! Fall! Fall…
