Mariah Carey posted the title of new album on her official Twitter profile yesterday and I feel duty-bound to share the news with all y’all. Here Mimi‘s tweet announcement of her new album title:

Bcuz I Love U, I want u to be the first to know the title of my new album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” Its very personal & dedicated to u

Mimi is so good to her Lambs. While the title Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel doesn’t really reach out and grab me, I’m excited for MC to release another album that is bound to head straight for the #1 position on the album charts. Granted, E=MC2 wasn’t a stunning masterpiece, there were some good tunes on that album. I love me some Mariah and I’m looking forward to hearing new stuff from her. Do y’all like the album title?

Michelle Williams is one lucky ducky. She gets paid large sums of money to kiss actor Ryan Gosling for large portions of the work day on an almost daily basis … as is evident from these new photos of Michelle and Ryan on the NYC set of their new movie Blue Valentine which is currently in production:

Generally, I enjoy seeing photos of Ryan Gosling at work … whether he’s moving furniture, lookin’ all beat up & bruised or just smiling in between shooting scenes he is always fun to look at. That said, I’m not too keen on seeing photos of him smoochin’ up on Ms. Williams. It seems … unfair, no? I can’t say that I place the blame on her, tho. Can you imagine if YOU were offered a hefty paycheck to play tonsil hockey with Ryan Gosling? Get it, girl. I know I would.

Clay Aiken, the runner-up for the American Idol title who lost out to Ruben Studdard back in 2003, appears to no longer be a fan of American Idol. Clay posted a message about this season of American Idol on his official website (a site that charges a $29.95 annual fee for access to “ultimate membership”) that makes clear that he no longer watches the show (except for “once a season”) and is clearly not an Adam Lambert fan (who he described as “contrived, awful, and slightly frightening!”). I suppose it could be argued that he is not a Kris Allen fan either since Clay confesses, “I never saw Kris sing on the show, but whether he was good or not is really relative.” Thankfully, someone at Gawker/Defamer pays for the access to Clay Aiken‘s deep thoughts (I suspect it’s my friend Brett who wrote their item for the site) so they can be disseminated to the rest of the Internets free of charge. Here is the full text of Clay‘s nutshell commentary of this season of the American Idol:

Now that it’s all over, and for the record…. I couldn’t be happier about the way AI ended this year. I only turn the show on once a season, and only to see what the set looks like each year. This year, I happened to turn it during the minute that Adam Lambert was singing “Ring of Fire” and, at that moment, thought my ears would bleed. Contrived, awful, and slightly frightening! I wasn’t really a fan and found myself surprised whenever folks told me that they liked him. Granted, I never saw another performance (and many folks who I trust said that he was great) but I can’t imagine I would have enjoyed it. Just not my cup of tea at all. To each his own. I never saw Kris sing on the show, but whether he was good or not is really relative. It’s usually a matter of taste, right? But Idol is not always a matter of musical taste only. It’s about the person you like. From what little I saw, Kris seemed likable. (That’s not to say that Adam isn’t just as likable as anyone.. maybe more so… I don’t know) When Ruben and I were standing next to each other every night (many years ago) you had two equally talented, equally unlikely, equally unpolished contestants…. so it really was a matter of taste as to who was voted for. While some may argue that one of us was hyped more than the other, I don’t feel that was the case. However, this year, there was an obvious bias. Not even having watched the show, I can tell you that I was WELL aware of the bias from the judges as to who should win. In my opinion, that is awfully unattractive. I don’t think I am alone

In my opinion, it all often comes down to that last night of voting. Until the finale, folks are voting for the contestant that they want to see continue. But, I believe that on that last night, the dynamic changes. No longer forced to choose one person that they want to see win, the audience can effectively vote AGAINST the person that they don’t want to see win. In the case of season two this might have happened. There may have been some folks who voted for myself or Ruben because they didn’t like the other of us. I was the nerdy little girly boy who some didn’t want to see win, so they may have voted for Ruben. I don’t know. .. But again, I feel that Ruben and I were fairly matched. We both had our detractors and negatives, but I feel we were both very worthy of being on that stage in that moment, and either of us would have been worthy of winning. The show was different then, and folks made it in seasons 1-3 because they were “real” people who happened to sing/entertain well. But, somewhere along the way, AI stopped being about real people.

In a battle between David and Goliath, my money is on David!

I think many voters got sick of being “told who to vote for”. I think many were turned off by the blatant favoritism shown towards one contestant. Therefore, on that last night, they used their votes against a contestant that they were tired of hearing about and for the contestant who had been written off. And, at the same time, I think they voted AGAINST an American Idol that has, for four years now, been more about the slick productions and polished contestants than it has been about finding the raw talent that it did in its first three seasons.

Those votes for Kris were also votes to return the show to its roots of finding “real” contestants with undiscovered talent and giving them the chance to grow and shine. They were votes that said “we’re tired of seeing contestants who already seem to know it all”.

Will American Idol choose to listen to the resounding and clarion call that those voters gave them?…. “Enough with the pretention. More Rubens, more Clays, more Fantasias and Tamyras and Kellys please.” My faith has always been in the voters. I think they have gotten it right every year (mine included). It’s now up to American Idol to decide if it will finally REALLY listen to the folks that keep it on the air.

HMMM. While Clay does make some valid points, the overall tone of his rant seems awfully negative. He deffo sounds like he’s been noshing on some sour grapes. Why you gotta hate Clay? While I agree with his point that American Idol seems to really come down to a popularity contest (after all, Kris‘s home State of Arkansas, with a population of 2.8 million, reportedly generated 38 million votes) I absolutely do not agree with his assertion that the show needs, “More Rubens, more Clays, more Fantasias …” On the contrary, what I think it needs is to limit voting to one vote per person … and it deffo needs more controversy cuz that’s what makes everyone talk about a show they don’t even watch (including former contestants, like Clay Aiken). I don’t personally believe that Clay‘s commentary is worth the $29.95 annual fee, especially if most of his posts read like this one. It’s some funny shizz, tho, to read for free.

Woot!! At long last … Sarah Michelle Gellar finally looks pregs, y’all!! SMG met up with some friends in NYC to do a bit of shopping together and she wore a long, flowy dress that framed her burgeoning baby bump just so. While we did see a wee bit of a bump a few weeks ago when she was spied shopping at The Grove in LA, the last couple of sightings have been totally free of baby bump. This new photo clearly shows that she is deffo pregs:

She may be only four months pregnant, but Sarah Michelle Gellar’s baby bump is growing at a rapid pace. The Buffy The Vampire Slayer actress, 32, showed off her burgeoning belly yesterday as she enjoyed a spot of retail therapy in New York. She looked a picture of maternity chic in a floaty £365 sundress from Elizabeth & James, the diffusion line designed by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The expectant star is currently busy filming a pilot of new TV show The Wonderful Maladys, but took time out to shop with friends on Thursday. Dressed for comfort in the flowing gown, blue cardigan and sandals, Sarah looked like she settling into pregnancy well. The star and her friends popped into the Diane Von Furstenburg store in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking district. It was announced last month, Sarah and husband Freddie Prinze, Jr., 33, were expecting their first child together – said to be a girl – but the notoriously-private couple declined to confirm it. A friend of the couple told People magazine: ‘They’re very excited.’ But given these latest pictures of Sarah, there’s no denying she’s pregnant.

HMMM … that’s a good point. The initial report from People magazine about SMG‘s pregnancy did come from “sources” and neither SMG nor her hubby Freddie Prinze, Jr. have actually confirmed the news. But yes, clearly, there is no denying that she is pregs. She looks radiant with this bump. I am very much looking forward to (hopefully) many more bump sightings in the coming months. Doesn’t she look great?
