Typecast
Typecast: (Verb) To assign an actor or actress repeatedly to the same type of role, as a result of the appropriateness of their appearance in such roles.As you all are probably well aware of, this month marks the seven year anniversary of an American tragedy. That's right, I'm talking about the theatrical release of Mariah Carey's uber-shittay movie, Glitter. But Mariah finally seems ready to put the past behind her and move on, as she's preparing for the release of her upcoming film Tennessee.
Unlike in Glitter, where Mariah starred as a "young singer who is eager to become a big star," in Tennesse, Mariah is going to be playing a "waitress with big-time singing dreams." Huh. When you put it down on paper like that, it kind of sounds like the exact same thing, doesn't it? I suppose traits like diversification aren't exactly ol' Mariah's strong suite... Unless it applies to going out with black guys, of course. At least she's got that down! Next she'll just have to work on wearing outfits that won't split open at the seams after a sharp inhale. Baby steps!
Mimi and her Boo at Fashion Rocks last weekend:
I'm glad to see that lipo worked out for her, but what they really needed to do was lipo Mariah's brain already...there's a lot of fat ego stored there thinking that another movie about someone wanting to be a singer is what we need in this world. I'm sure you guys at Pajiba will be cutting straws over the review of this one shortly! IT perhaps might even get violent....unless you'll do the honors, Stacey....?
If it were just Mariah Carey, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But unfortunately, it's an ensemble cast and is probably masquerading as a serious movie, so better to let a more competent film critic tear this one apart. I don't so much "criticize" as make fun of things.
