Hearing the name “Mariah Carey” is enough to give me a little nausea, but throw in the phrase “comeback” and I’m really feeling sick. The twit being called the “comeback queen” over some success recently pushes me over the top.
Now Mariah is in the news again, and there’s buzz over her plainly scoring a movie role (first one since Glitter, you see). She will be starring in Tennessee as a biracial waitress who sets out with her two brothers to find their estranged father, so he can help their littlest brother, who has leukemia. Did I mention she’s biracial? That is a very important fact I assume the studio heads want me to mention no matter what angle I take on announcing this.
“Because this character is interracial and struggles with all sorts of issues because of that, I thought she was perfect,” says producer, Lee Daniels.
Cause no one else can play a biracial girl (never mind which races, they say!) but a poor actress who looks plain ol’ white but mid-career turned straight around from acting white to portray herself as a ghetto diva.
Get out of the way between me and the bathroom!
