Mariah Carey spent about six hours yammering on HSN yesterday, hawking her perfume/jewelery/Christmas album/shoes and complaining about her pregnancy. I watched all of it. Above is everything you possibly would need to know about it -- except for her constant talk about the need to layer lotion underneath perfume, because frankly, that was boring. The rest of it was wondrously fascinating (not really, but I mean, I watched it all). The woman knows how to talk, but even better than that, she knows how to repeat herself. Aw!
Mariah Carey is perfection.

Christ, I needed to take a break and eat a power bar half way through this vid, but I'm glad I stuck it out. The end where she responds to the callers is immensely amusing. Be honest, did you call and just not get through? I love that Mariah responds exactly the same way to everyone regardless of their level of crazy.
"I love your music"= "aww"
"I saw you in Vegas"= "aww"
"I named my kid after you"= "aww"
"I carved your name into my forehead"= "aww"
"I would like to eat your brains and keep your heart in a jar"= "aww"

She said it so quickly so I may have misheard. Does she collect antique perfume bottles?

This is awesome.

Funny post about Mariah but I am really waiting for Winston and Rudy's Thanksgiving Feast! :)

It looks like she copied the bottle shape from McQueen's My Queen (http://www.skinstep.com/product_images/queen-eau-parfum-spray-04585425906.jpg), shame on you Mariah!
Also - jaysis woman, how many things do you 'love'?
Posted by: Vanessa | November 30, 2010 at 03:00 PM
Let's do a count of how many times she says 'My fingers are so swollen from being pregnant' and 'I collect vintage purfume bottles' and 'Do the diva twist' and...

Everything about this is oddly soothing to me.

I'm sitting here, pregnant, reading this post, and thinking that it's the best thing I've read in a while. I agree with Annie that it's soothing. So soothing. Especially while I'm on this couch.
Nutsos like 6:43 are why I watch home shopping. I'm more of a QVC girl than an HSN girl but I will always switch over if the right celeb is on.
The Precious Pink bottle looks like this cheap cologne I had when I was 12.

The way she says "likewise" at 6:48? Is why I love me so much Mimi

I love you, four four, for making the most exquisite videos ever.

Yessss I watched this the other night and couldn't wait for your commentary and edit. :)

TWO-HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS SAY WHAAAT???
Otherwise, I'm not that upset losing those 7 minutes of my life.

lol. can you make a mix of her just saying "aww" insincerely?
Posted by: Gillian | December 01, 2010 at 11:01 AM
It's nice to see the first pregnant woman EVER putting her feet up and making some real nasty money while doing it.Her modesty is a fine example for all of us to follow. She's just a legal con-woman,she is.
Posted by: Diann | December 01, 2010 at 12:21 PM
I only wish that somewhere around hour 4 the host replied to one of her pregnancy comments with a shocked "WAIT, WHAT?! YOU'RE PREGNANT!?!? OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!" I'd love to see the look on her face.
Posted by: Chaely | December 01, 2010 at 01:24 PM
WHAT A FUCKING COINCIDENCE!! I DON'T EXPERIMENT WITH LOTIONS EITHER!!!!!! LMAO....I love this woman more with each passing year...
Posted by: Saul | December 01, 2010 at 02:00 PM
I like her diva twist into the perfume mist. Just like Whitley on "A Different World." Also, her pregnancy boobs are giving me a backache just looking at them.

Congrats on the book deal, Rich!
Posted by: Meg | December 01, 2010 at 04:02 PM
Oh poor Mariah. There really is nothing else to talk about for six hours except being pregnant and perfume bottles. Those are always my fallback topics as well.
Posted by: Mama Kat | December 01, 2010 at 05:27 PM
Umm...I'm not sure if this was intentional stealing or not, but omgyahoo has a video up that basically summarizes this montage and may or may not use your footage: http://omg.yahoo.com/videos/mariah-carey-i-m-so-pregnant/12544
Of course, since they didn't use the whole thing, there's always a chance that this was coincidence, but....
