Carey sings the praises of sweet ‘melodic beverage’
Mariah Carey is marketing a new non-alcoholic beverage, named Butterfly. It’s pink.
The idea, the Los Angeles Times suggests, is to help boost her new album, humbly entitled Me. I Am Mariah … The Elusive Chanteuse.
The press release says it is “a melodic beverage inspired by the magic of Mariah Carey.” The fine print says the ingredients include water, sugar, sodium benzoate, sucralose, and colourings. Yum.
There is no “we” in pregnancy: Mila Kunis, who’s expecting a baby, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s show the other night. Introducing her, he noted that “My wife and I are pregnant. We’re having a baby very soon as well.”
This set Mila off on a pretend tirade: “… all you soon-to-be fathers, stop saying ‘We’re pregnant.’ You’re not pregnant. Do you have to squeeze a watermelon-size person out …? No. Are you crying alone in your car listening to a stupid Bette Midler song? No. When you wake up and throw up, is it because you’re nurturing a human life? No. It’s because you had too many shots of tequila. Do you know how many shots of tequila we had? None. Because we can’t have shots of tequila … because we’ve got your little love goblin growing inside of us. All you did was roll over and fall asleep!”
How the rich live: In 2011, rapper/tycoon Dr. Dre paid $15.4 million for his Hollywood Hills mansion. Now he’s selling it, asking $35 million. He just paid $40 million for the Tom Brady — Gisele Bundchen estate.
Hollywood-bound: Cressida Bonas, until recently Prince Harry’s main squeeze, has abandoned hope of a royal wedding. That’s how I read her decision, reported in the Evening Standard over there, to take a role in a Hollywood movie.
The paper says she’ll star with Cara Delevingne, more or less her look-alike, in something called Tulip Fever. It’s a love story set in the Dutch tulip-mania of the 17th century. Cressy plays a merchant’s wife. Also starring: Judi Dench and Christoph Waltz. Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) directs.
Cressida studied dance in school and has acted in some respectable amateur productions. She’s 25. Quote of the day: Anna Kendrick, whose parents split up when she was 15, tells Elle mag “I hate when people think you’re broken because your parents are divorced.
“And I really reject the idea of staying together for the kids. If they’re growing up in a house that’s not healthy, it’s better to know that’s not the model of what marriage should be.” She’s 28.
