‘Queen of Christmas’ Mariah Carey joined gay comic Billy Eichner for his popular Funny or Die web series, Billy On The Streets. The duo hit the sidewalks of New York City to spread some holiday joy to some very surprised members of the public.
The clip premiered online yesterday. In the segment, Eichner is his usual manic self, accosting people and asking them to complete the lyrics of Christmas classics.
Carey tries to keep up with him, and the juxtaposition of Eichner’s energy, Carey’s fixed grin, and the shock of onlookers, is what makes the 6-minute segment so hilarious. That and the gifts they give away, including a Christmas tree topped with a CD of Carey’s album, Glitter (a Christmas tree topped with glitter, geddit?).

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Oh, and kudos to Carey for slipping into Swedish to speak to two Swedes they encounter!
The episode premiered on a very special day for Carey. Her 1994 hit, “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
It’s the first time it has hit the top of the charts. In doing so, it becomes her 19th number one – placing her one behind the Beatles (although Carey has spent 80 weeks at number one compared to the Beatles’ 59 weeks).
It also scores a record as the song to take the longest time to hit number one (25 years!), and means she joins Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Usher in having a number one hit every decade since the 1990s.

Finally. An article that has a Christmas ring to it that didn’t involve sex. Maybe, just maybe a gay chorus will be featured singing Christmas instead of some sad luck story on people trying to get dates with people who have already said they aren’t interested in dating them.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
A more appropriate piece would have been on what a miserable noxious ungrateful vile bittch Carey is…
Last week she was a Robert’s Steakhouse, she ran up a $497.00 check, paid with $500.00 took the change and STIFFED THE STAFF…
This is a multi-millionaire who came from a working class neighborhood on Long Island. The same noxious behavior Serena Williams exhibited when she was comped a $400.00 meal and instead of giving the money to the staff she too stiffed the staff.
Disgusting repugnant behavior from undeserving, ungrateful vile crunts….

Except…. you have the story completely wrong. It was a takeout order that was picked up by one of her staff. Nobody was stiffed, and if you’re one of those who believes you’re supposed to tip for takeout (which I am not), it still wasn’t Mariah who stiffed anyone.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Brian: No dear you have it wrong. They took the six dollars in change and left nothing. The restaurant had dealt with her before, they knew she is notoriously picky. She was made aware of the incident and did nothing to rectify it
And yes I do believe you should tip for takeout. Those preparing those orders are waitstaff who must take time off the floor to prepare it. To not tip those workers is petty and mean-spirited.
Brian
If you want to tip someone for putting your food in a bag and throwing in some napkins, go for it. My heart doesn’t bleed for the waitstaff who had to spend 2 minutes doing it. If that’s part of their job, then I guess that part is covered by their hourly wage. I tip for actual service, not someone doing the same thing they do for be at Taco Bell.
Also, this was apparently a very expensive restaurant. If you’re spending $500 on a couple of meals, the chef should already be making sure everything is perfect. I’m not sure why we’re supposed to think he did something so special for Mariah.
And I’m not sure why you say I have it wrong, then immediately co-sign that I had it right, but you do you.

Wait, Mariah Carey speaks Swedish???

My God, what an incredibly obnoxious man. Does he really think screaming at everyone is funny???
