Mariah Carey’s acting career

…brings many things to mind. What precisely, well, I leave that up to you.

The trailer for a new movie she’s attached to (Precious) is something I had to watch squinting through my fingers. I have a feeling that watching this movie in its entirety would be the cinematic equivilant to eating an entire bag of Cool Ranch Doritos in one sitting. Still, if what we see of La Carey in the trailer is any indication, things are getting better…or are they? You be the judge.

In my opinion, she’s taking a risk folks and trust me, she’s known for taking ill-advised risks:

Danger, Mariah Carey! DANGER!

On a happier note, follow Mariah on Twitter – she’s cooking up a new album yo. Huzzah! http://twitter.com/MariahCarey
