Instagram Mariah Carey does not mess around when it comes to her birthday. Her big day is all about her plus awesome gifts, a glamorous meal, huge cake, and more. Now it takes a true (very wealthy) diva to have a birthday like this, but in case you're in the market, here are the necessary steps. Step One: This is very important. Stop calling it a "birthday." Mariah does not celebrate her "birthday." Instead, she has a "327 anniversary" (she was born March 27). The superstar just had her 43rd "anniversary" last week. Step Two: Take lots of pictures before dinner (when your makeup is fresh and dress isn't wrinkled), preferably in an expensive sports car that's being driven by your attractive significant other. Step Three: Make sure to hire a photographer to follow you around all night so you can get snapshots like the one above. If this is too expensive, perhaps consider "hiring" a family member. Step Four: Also take mo

Devin Velez was sent home on Thursday night's " American Idol ," leaving judge Mariah Carey in tears. AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman caught up with the booted singer after show, where he remained optimistic about his future. "I'm the least-experienced contestant here, I'm also the youngest. So, I wasn't expecting anything out of 'Idol' - I was just hoping to sing," Devin , 18, told Laura. "The fact that I've made it this far being my first audition - I think that's a really good accomplishment. I've been blessed to be here. I've met some of the most amazing people."

Mariah Carey in coral, and Nicki Minaj (with Smokey Robinson) also in...coral.Photo: Getty Watch out, y'all, there may be trouble brewing on the American Idol set, and it's giving us traumatic flashbacks to our high school days. We had to do a double-take last night, when Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj took to the judges table in...wait, are they wearing the same dress? THE HORROR! Both Mariah and Nicki, notorious rivals, had decided to wear solid coral dresses for the Motown episode of the show, and although the cuts were definitely not identical, it seemed like it had to be something of an unfortunate coincidence. Did you ever show up to a school dance in the EXACT same dress as your sworn frenemy? Nightmarish. To add insult to injury, yesterday was Mariah's birthday. The bright side, though: they both look amazing in this color. If it were any other two stars we would assume the pair were pulling a totally cute "on Wednesdays we wear pink" type of thing, but w

Mariah Careywas so impressed with Amber Holcomb s performance on Wednesdays American Idol that she may have let an F-bomb slip out during her critique. The contestant had just received a standing ovation from all four judges for Stevie Wonder s Lately when Carey gushed about the tour de force performance. It was [bleeping bleep], said themusic icon, prompting speculation that she might have actually said a curse word. Other viewers, however, thought the Idol censors mightve been just a little trigger happy. In any case, Careys colleagues were enthusiastic as well, with Randy Jackson calling Holcombs rendition the best vocal of the night. Noted Keith Urban , You picked the right song. You sang it beautifully. You felt it beautifully. Nicki Minaj told Holcomb, That was just out of this world, and encouraged her to forget she was in the Bottom Three last week. I want you to know you are loved by millions of people, said the rapper. Check out the video below, and tell us if you think Carey

On Wednesday's episode of "American Idol," the top eight singers performed Motown tunes. Smokey Robinson mentored the contestants this week. Here's a recap of the show. Candice Glover performs "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Marvin Gaye. She starts the tune slowly and I expect things to pick up after the opening verses, but that doesn't happen. She delivers a slowed-down, jazzy rendition of the song with a very old-school vibe. It's not a ballad, but it's not the version I expected. That's not a bad thing. Candice is solid as usual, and I appreciate the uniqueness she adds to this performance. I'm impressed -- it's a great start to the show and Candice should have no problem sailing through this week. Keith: "I never feel like you overpower it too much or leave it down too much." Nicki: "It was very exciting and you stayed in it completely." Randy: "I think you believe that you belong in this competitio

Blessed people of earth- today is Mariah Careys 43rd birthday and to celebrate Worldwide Lamb Day shes gifted us all with this selfie which she posted on instagram shortly after the witching hour in LA this morning. I like the fresh-faced look on Mazza, who was relaxing in her bathroom (wheres the near-obligatory champagne and heels?), although I wish I knew what that black smudge was around her right ear (bruising from a pre- birthday tightening procedure?). No doubt shortly after this photograph was taken, the strains of her song Hero were heard coming from the bedroom and a team of assistants moved in to lift and lower her into place on top of Nick Cannon on the bed and move her hips back and forth as they marked this splendiferous occasion. The poor guys probably still out of breath this morning from blowing up her birthday balloons.

The producers at "American Idol" wanted to shore up a dramatic slide in ratings for the show's newest season, so they added three star judges and even allowed viewers to vote online for favorites up to 50 times simultaneously. The changes for the 12th season didn't help. Ratings have plummeted by double digits for the second year in a row, down this season by 18%, to 15.8 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. In its fifth season in 2006, "Idol's" average audience was more than twice as large. And the declines are just as bad among viewers ages 18 to 49, the demographic that advertisers crave most. "'Idol's' sort of run its life as being at the top of the heap," said Steve Smith, a partner at the Dallas-based ad agency Firehouse. PHOTOS: 'American Idol' judges through the years Analysts blame the decline on a variety of factors, including audiences tiring of the concept after more than a decade, a constantly rotating p

She's got the voice and she's got the chops for judging Jessie J has revealed that she is more "strict... straight to the point... [and] honest" on the upcoming series of The Voice UK. The Nobodys Perfect singer also said that she has had to learn to control her emotions during filming, reported UK Metro. "Sometimes I have to remember I am on TV and calm down when I'm in the chair," she admitted ahead of next weekend's opening episode. "I feel a lot more comfortable and a lot more relaxed second time around. I know what I am doing and I understand the format of the show more. I learnt a lot last year. This time around, I am making sure I make the best use of the time I have with my team." The sexy coach insisted that this time she is combining a no-nonsense attitude with being "very caring" as well. "I am strict and I definitely have not been faffing around! I am always quite direct and straight to the point. I am honest and

Njai Joszor 3/25/2013 10:35:58 AM Calling R&B songstress Kelly Price "fat" is not going to hurt her feelings. At least that is what she said after a heated group of Mariah Carey fans attacked her Sunday. It all started withthe following comment on Twitter:" I'm yrs late on this one but I'm looking at a concert on tvright now of a certain "singer" and asking myself what happened to ur voice? Sometimes the gimmick goes too far. One day u go to sing and realize it ain't happening. This is making my throat hurt. " Now she didn't say Mariah Carey's name, but some fans say Mariah had a concert that was airing on TV Sunday night and it just had to be her that Kelly was referring to. "After all these years of Mariah providing Kelly Price with a buffet, this is what she gets? The cow must have gotten hungry," one upset fan tweeted, attacking Kelly Price. That said, Kelly Price responded.... "Oohhhh my what in the world?????

Let's be honest, Mariah Carey has never been the most fashionable of slebs. In the past if it's been tight, bright and showed an obscene amount of cleavage then, undoubtedly,Mi-Mi would be wearing it (and probably alter it to make it even more revealing...) But since her appointment as an American Idol judge we can't help but notice Mariah has been rocking a classier, pared down image in recent months and we've been loving the tres glam diva's beautiful looks at each live show. Here are a few of her new looks: Looking good MC! Another glam look... Glittery dress for the star of Glitter That doesn't mean that we don't miss 'ghetto Mariah' and her penchant for an outfit that would be better seen on a 14-year-old girl at her first high-school disco. So let's all remind ourselves of some of MC's most gloriously trashtastic looks in our gallery, shall we? And just to be clear WE LOVE MARIAH - like, seriously, we want to dress up in handkerchief
