Star Catcher NY -- LA Reid's B-Day Party

Mariah CareyIt was a star studded night in NY as our cameras were on hand at LA Reid's 50th birthday party.  The music mogul showed up amongst many friends, fans and family.

Mariah Carey arrived, doing things in her trademark diva fashion.  The singer, who arrived right before the party started, began giving strict orders on the carpet to the media, telling them how to take pictures of her and to wait until she looked their way before they snapped their shots.

Other stars on hand included Oprah Winfrey, Usher, Diddy and hip hop pioneer Jay-Z.

All this and more in this birthday edition of Star Catcher NY.

Its too bad Whitney Houston married that Junk Yard Ugly Dog and threw her life into the gutter, because SHE was a singer. In her day, she made Mariah look like an amateur at the hi school talent show.

Mariah may take better care of her life and her persona.... but in the end, she is just a hi yellow wanna be. Hell, even skanky old Christina Aquilera has more soul than Mariah.

In the end, those boobs will sag and she'll be back on her ass like she was for a few years until she screwed the right producer and got a second chance at making teenie bopper wonder songs like she does now.

Mariah needs to realize her age and dress accordingly she dresses like a 20 year old Beyonce dresses more classy than her and she can wear risky things at her age.

I guess if anyone is entitled to be a diva, it would be Mariah. She should tone it down abit. She's almost offensive.

She has gotten totally arogant over the years. I can't stand to even see her anymore. Guess money will do that to you. She was half way decent and less self absorbed when she had her nervous breakdown, got divorced and her movie Glitter bombed. Guess it brought her down to earth. Now that she had a few top songs, she acts stuck on herself again. Just more proof that these celebrities, musicians, models, talk show hosts, athelets and movie stars are entirely OVERPAID and entirely SELF CENTERED - well most of them - There are some exceptions - but few!!!!!!!!!!!! Girlfriend - You aint all that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS: Put on some clothes......your not getting any younger.

I love Mariah, and I dont care, she has the best voice in the WORLD. She can hit so many notes, and for that she is a diva. You tell me, who can sing better then her, regardless of how she dresses. Funny thing too, she has a lot more money then any of you dissin her, so keep hatin!

I have been a fan of Mariah since 1990. Mariah has gone throw different looks just like almost everyone else. If she puts on weight people say she is too fat, when she looses weight people start saying she is gettin too skinny. Yeah sometime I dont like some of the clothes she wears but everyone doesnt have the same taste. What I may like some may not like and vise-versa. You can't put someone down just becuz you think her skirt is too short or top is too low. Mariah is a exeptionally talented artist. There are not very many people like her. Yeah she may have some flaws, but who doesnt. People change throughout the years to match their enviorment. I mean people who really is still the same way they were 15 years ago!!! If you are than you must be really boring.

Well Mariah certainly is back on track with her Mega Sucessful Career! She is Amazing considering how well she has handled herself publicly, after going through what alot of people get to go through in private! She looks Great! Her attire sure isnt hurting her sales...and she gets paid what we pay her! We buy it! Because we want to! Shes just smarter and bolder and more fortunate than most!
Dont worry Gee...and all the Haters...Your Jealousy wont help you at all. Give up the sour grapes!You actually took the time to pick on Mariah! You must literally Hate yourself for not being her!

Mariah's just a big whale. Have really paid attention to latest album cover? Doesn't she resemble a certain someone who was hot before the Mimi album came out? Beyonce she is not. The album is so airbrushed and chopped to make her look like Beyonce it's pathetic. And as for trying to establish herself as a hip-hop diva she is not. That crown belongs to Mary J. stick to singing r/b.
