Premiere: Video: “H.A.T.E.U.” by Mariah Carey
2This is mariah’s third single and we would not have chosen it to be one, but any sexy video from Mariah rolling around on a beach is a treat and a half. The video is short and it cuts out the fun licks in the song, but it must be the last one from the non-remix album, or maybe there’s some room for “Angels Cry,” which she named the tour after. The video is directed by Brett Ratner and it’s really not that spectacular. But, we’ll take it. All you need is a wind machine!

Film Review: Precious (2009)
We’ve been waiting to see Precious (originally titled Push) for a while now. Not only is Mariah Carey in it but it got all these endorsements from Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry and awards. Also, the cast line-up is impressive including Lenny Kravitz, Sherri Shepherd and the ever-so-lovely Mo’Nique. So, it was a matter of getting the film. No convincing needed.
But, to tell you the truth. It wasn’t that big of a movie moment for us. At times, we thought the script was lacking. Precious’ character was the ultimate victim, but she sure has a lot of attitude. The plot seemed a little choppy at times, but not as drama-forcing as Tyler Perry movies. Her story needed to be told and it delivered a strong and depressing message across. The movie surprisingly sinister at times and lacked an uplift.
All-in-all, it wasn’t a bad movie to watch. But, it wasn’t the big epic of a flick of a movie everyone was rambling on about. We expected a The Color Purple opus and all we got is a cross between a Tyler Perry movie and an obscure foreign film. This is one of the only movies that can probably fit in arthouse cinema, African-American genre and psuedo chick flick. It’s great to have experienced it and Mo’Nique performance deserves an Oscar and a half.
Oh, and Mariah was ostentatiously impeccable.

It’s quite a dancey beat for the teeny bopper. We never really looked into the Miley crew, but this doesn’t sound bad at all.

Madonna interview on GMTV in full!
2Yeah, so she’s back trying to put her yet another re-issue package under some more christmas trees. This is why she is giving some face. And why is she name-dropping Lady GaGa? What happened to poor Britney Spears? Plus, why was there an interview on the interview? And that joke of hers was not that special. We know we hit hard when it comes to Madonna, but really, what we said has to ring true to all you circuit boys out there. No? Then shut up and click below and watch the rest of your madge.

Mariah Carey’s third single from Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is here. The music video was shot on November 4th and 6th 2009, and was directed by Mariah’s friend Brett Ratner who previously directed music videos for “Obsessed”, “Touch My Body”, “We Belong Together” and “It’s Like That.” The video was shot on Malibu Beach, in California. The video will premiere on the night of December 8, 2009, on VEVO, which is tonight. If you get the Vevo blog that means it’s not up yet. They are trying to launch big with Mariah’s video. Meanwhile, you can watch a video of Adam Lambert throwing a TV out of his hotel room. Fun.
Controversial Coca-Cola commercial
3No word yet on whether this is authentic or not, but it’s causing quite a ruckus up in youtube. But, the real message behind all this is that everyone should just chill with their ideologies and enjoy the benefits of an ever-so-capitalist world. We don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing.
