Mariah Carey to Promote Her Collection on HSN Again Plus She Reveals Sex of Twins

Mommy-to-be Mariah Carey isn't letting her pregnancy slow her down. In fact, the expecting mother is gearing up to appear on HSN again on February 11th to promote The Mariah Carey Collection, which includes jewelry, shoes and perfume.

For her last appearance, she was the cutest pregnant lady on the studio couch with her feet up. This time, she gets an even more comfortable locale: her home. Makes sense as she's moving closer to the due date, and those twins can't be easy to carry around all day.

Speaking of the twins, Mariah announced she and Nick are having a boy and a girl (swoon!). How adorable! P.S. Everyone doubted them as a couple but I'm so thrilled for them. It seems like they're truly happy together and Nick's going to be the most fun, playful Dad to those kids. I love it!

Anyway, back to the collection. Of course, the jewelry is adorned with butterflies and admittedly, I'm not 100% crazy about that motif (though I loved The Butterfly album, lol).

What got my attention is the footwear---Mariah's known for her love of heels---and the gold platform sandals and fur-lined boots are fun and glamourous. She'll also be pushing her extensive collection of fragrances, Lollipop Bling, Forever, Luscious and M by Mariah Carey during her appearance.

Check out some pieces from the collection of perfume, jewelry and footwear that she'll be promoting on HSN below.

And here's a hilarious video mashup of MC's first appearance via Gawker.



LOL - everyone has to repeat themselves a hundred times when doing TV. We understand, Mariah!

Will you tune in to HSN on February 11th?

Would you Wear...Clothing Designed by Mariah Carey?

You knew it was coming. Mariah Carey debuted Forever by Mariah Carey fragrance, and a clothing line is a logical next step, right?

The iconic, Grammy Award-winning singer is taking her designs to HSN, launching a brand entitled Mariah Designs. 

As for pricing, the jewelry will range from $39-199, and the footwear from $69-170. Her limited-edition fragrance, Luscious Pink, will also be available.

While I'm pretty much obsessed with Mariah Carey's music from Emotions up to her last album, I have to admit her style philosophy has never been my favorite. From the glitter and butterflies (which take me to a parallel universe populated with Queens) to the spandex dresses clinging to her every curve, Mariah Carey falls short of a style icon.

If her collection looks anything like that, well, count me out. Would you shop Mariah's new clothing line? Is she the right choice to design for a brand? Discuss.

Check Out The Ad For Mariah Carey's New Fragrance, Lollipop Bling

I don't know about you guys, but so far I've loved every fragrance that songtress Mariah Carey has created, so I'm sure that I'll love these cute new fragrances as well.

Inspired by the 2008 proposal from hubby Nick Cannon (he gave her an actual Ring Pop!), Carey is now offering her own interpretations through cosmetics company Elizabeth Arden and Topps Company (makers of the original Ring Pops).

"The inspiration for Lollipop Bling was Nick's marriage proposal to me," she said in a recent press release. "He first surprised me with a ring-pop - romantic, fun and young-at-heart - like me!"

Lollipop Bling is a trio of fragrances based on candy flavors named after Carey's songs and includes Ribbon (which features notes of blue raspberry); Honey (a tropical pineapple infusion) and Mine Again (includes notes of chocolate and raspberry). It hits Macy's and Dilliard's on July 1 and you'll even get a real Ring Pop with your purchase. Each fragrance will retail for $35 (for 1 oz).

What do you think of the advertisement for the fragrance? Is this something that you will be purchasing, Glamazons?

Fab or Flop: American Music Awards

Last night, the American Music Awards brought out a bevy of starlets, moguls and celebutantes who served up the glamour and glitz.







Luminaries, like Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, sparkled in assymetric, metallic minis.









I think Miley stole the show with her black and gold strapless Marchesa dress, which merged the hottest trends of the season, metallic (the shimmery color) and goddess (draping and braided waistline). She was on fire!


Pink cleaned up nicely in a dazzling Vivienne Westwood gown with plenty of beaded embroidery. I loved the hair - the "Rihanna" goes across color lines.







Speaking of which, Princess Rihanna looked darling in a soft yellow ruffled dress by one of her fave designers, Zac Posen, with gloves and jeweled Devi Kroell peeptoe pumps.

One of the big winners of the night, she was just stunning. Never gets it wrong on the red carpet!

P.S. Though...was she channeling Slick Rick in her performance? She always pushes the fashion bar a little bit, which you gotta love.

She's really starting to look like Prince to me...which is a good thing---he's gorgeous, but I'm just saying...

Anyway, you be the judge. Who was fab, and who flopped?


I liked Christina Aguillera's Elie Saab gown (though haven't I seen her in something just like it before?) but her hair looked like a cheap Marilyn Monroe wig. I love her, but feel like something's always off...? And what'd you think of that medley? I was secretly waiting for Come On Over...but I'll get over it. FAB.

The Pussycats got all dolled up in designs from the fiercest bitch of all, Christian Siriano. Though I adored Nicole's dress and the yellow one was sooo chic, the rest was uninspired to me, and looked like I could pick it up at Bebe. Still FAB.

These two are a hot mess. And wasn't that the same Dolce & Gabbana gown Kim from Real Housewives of Atlanta wore to Deshawn's event? For some reason, I think Mariah and Kim would be friends (maybe once her country singing career takes off). Either way, it's a good look for Mariah. FAB.

P.S. Why did she feel the need to bring Nick Cannon onstage? Who does that? You're married, we get it. Do we really need to keep seeing him everywhere? And didn't he make jokes or something on his own? Can we let him get back to that?

Alicia Keys is sweet enough, but the look just wasn't cohesive. With a Grecian, one-shoulder Armani Prive gown, the Indian-inspired silver bindi came out of nowhere. And I don't get the earrings. But she's a natural beauty and shines regardless. Plus I thought her eye make-up, which accented her already exotic eyes, was phenomenal. FAB BY DEFAULT.

I was probably the most surprised by Queen Latifah. She looks tiny (go Jenny)!!! The assymetrical, metallic dress looked beautiful against her skin (as always, she just glows). And though the fit was a bit off, we can forgive that given all the weight she lost. Very glam! And I have to get those hoops once they copy them at Express. FAB.






And what was meaning of this? Why is Toccarra coming out looking like Lil Bo Peep Show?






Definite FLOP.


And let's not forget about the boysss!









Chris Brown looked amazing! I loved the contrast of the preppy bowtie and cardigan with the biker leather jacket. The pairing was edgy, cool and grown up for him. Looks like Rih's fashion sense is rubbing off...FAB.

I can't help but laugh at this picture. All the more reason to praise Chris Brown for making bow ties look cool. FLOP.

Ugh...I don't know what to say, Kanye. I know you wanted to promote your Pastelle line, but didn't you know you were going to an Award show tonight? It's not like you to not try (and that random fur thing you threw on does not count as trying). And to spaz out when you don't get awards and give the one you win away? I'm worried. FLOP.




Yeah and where was Beyonce on the red carpet?! Bey may have been MIA, but Sasha came onstage and killed it! Easily the best performance of the night. And I need a good superlong weave ponytail that flips around and bounces right back. Loove it! SUPERFAB.





I'd love to meet the Queen who came up with the idea for her to hold her weave up, then twirl it and saunter off the stage like Naomi Cambell. I bet he's ferosh.




So what'd you guys think of the fashions? Loved Christian Siriano's doll clothes? Think I'm wrong about Alicia's Indian-inspired bindi? Sound off.
