And The Award For Cutest New Non-Couple In Universe Goes To: Amy Adams and Kenneth The Page

Molly Friedman · 03/04/08 12:00PM

On Sunday night in New York, paps caught redheaded star Amy "No, I'm Not Isla Fisher" Adams leaving the romantic West Village hotspot Paris Commune with someone that we initially thought might have been her little brother visiting from out of town. But then we caught a glimpse of that infamous ear-to-ear grin that 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer has won the world's love with, and couldn't help but embarrassingly reflect it ourselves. Exiting arm in arm, and judging by Jack's toothier-than-ever mug, the duo couldn't look more adorable. But! Pictures after the jump sadly ruin our plans to send a cappuccino machine to the NBC set...

Mariah Carey and Kenneth The Page: Hottest New Unicorn-Wrangling Couple

Molly Friedman · 02/29/08 07:58PM

Okay, we have officially forgiven Mariah Carey for Glitter, for two reasons. 1) She's such a hardcore 30 Rock fan that she asked Kenneth the Page to co-star in her new music video, and 2) Mimz is lookin' fine these days. Possibly the best she's ever looked. In this video for her new single, "Touch My Body," Kenneth (aka Jack McBrayer) plays a "compunerd" who shows up at Mariah's manse to fix technical issues with her 'puter, but winds up romping around wearing a Middle Ages fighting crown in her fluffy bed playing pillow fight. Our favorite moment? Kenneth's dead-on impression of Mariah's legendary falsetto singing skills in the first 30 seconds. Well that, and the sight of him walking an actual unicorn down a dark alley while wearing a regal robe. Well that, and and a mod scene in which Mimz and Kenny faux-shoot each other with guns. On second thought, scratch all that; every moment is classic.

Mariah Carey latest to out herself as geek fetishist

Owen Thomas · 02/26/08 04:00PM

*Paul Boutin, our local heterosexual, told me I had to say it like that to avoid sounding gay. Apparently "charismatic dorkiness" is the verbal equivalent of a punch on the shoulder. Did it work?

Mariah Carey is No Ugly Betty. Well, Not Anymore

mollyf · 02/05/08 02:45PM

Didn't Mariah Carey ever hear of a lil' success story called America Ferrara? If not, will whomever is responsible for tanning, plucking, and waxing her 24/7 please remind Mimi that you gotta get ugly to get your hands on a little gold man. Currently filming the (we predict straight-to-DVD) movie Tennessee (that's Mimz on set above) Carey plays a southern waitress with some grooming problems. Like, she's not pretty. But Mariah is! Or so she thinks!

Tina Brown: Scary Skinny or Weight Winner?

Emily Gould · 06/13/07 07:59AM
  • Tina-lauding reached new heights at Tina Brown's book party, but Isaac Mizrahi's compliment takes the lo-cal cake: "She's like a role model for me right now because she's so thin. I mean, not that she was ever big, but you know she's kind of at that crucial moment, where she could go one way or the other and she kind of looks amazing. So that's a real inspiration for all of us." Thinspiration! [NYO]

Mariah Carey Pushes You Into 2006

Jessica · 12/14/05 08:29AM

For the first time in the 34-year history of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Debacle, a singer will perform live from Times Square during the final minutes of 2005. It'd be an entertaining development, were that singer anyone but Mariah Carey.

Remainders: Starring Mariah Carey as Norma Desmond

Jessica · 08/18/05 05:45PM

• Because the sun simply doesn't shine without a negative report on Martha Stewart, the indentured servants at her Bedford estate are complaining about low morale. Perhaps it's because they know that in a matter of months, they'll be replaced by Stewart's genetically engineered slavebots. [Page Six]
• At Pamela Anderson's recent Comedy Central roast, the jokes still seemed to steer towards Tom Cruise — probably because Scientology jokes are still a few days away from being as tired as bimbo jokes. [Scoop]

An execution at Sony Music. According to Roger Friedman, Tommy Mottola didn't know what hit him.

Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson, two of Sony Music's biggest stars, were recently forced out of Sony Music; Mottola's handling of their departure was messy.
