WHY, WHY, WHY would anyone put Mariah Carey in another movie????

I just saw an ad for a movie called "Wisegirls" starring Mariah Carey...

Why in the fucking world would ANYONE cast Mariah Carey in a movie again after the HORRIBLE travesty that was "Glitter?"

WHY???

I guess Mariah is into that humiliation stuff. Glitter didn't humiliate her enough so she's going for round 2.

I think they were really taken with the costumes and first amazing dance sequence. I know I was.

That's gonna leave a mark on the acting-inhibited diva...

Her movie will NOT be released to theaters... it is bound for cable!

Funny stuff!

Mariah Carey's 'Wisegirls' May Go Straight To Video
Posted by MusicMan on Tuesday, April 30 @ 16:42:02 EDT

The LA Daily News reports that the Mariah Carey and Mira Sirvino starring 'Wisegirls' may be released straight to video by Lions Gate and skip a theatrical release. Carey had hoped to have the film released in theaters to prove to moviegoers that 'Glitter' was just a fluke and that she could have a future as an actress.

Then, confirmation:

We can not only dream... we can PRAY to the energy forces of the universe that it is true.

I think filming began on 'Wisegirls' before or during 'Glitter.' It may have been too late to back out.

Best line in Glitter, when some movie producer comes up to her and asks "Have you ever thought about acting?"


I really wish I'd seen this in a theater so I could've yelled "NO" lol

I agree. I had heard that the movie has absolutely horrible and that she did a terrible job, but when I saw the movie on cable recently, I decided that it wasn't bad at all. It may not have been Academy Award worthy, but it was a decent movie. I think that the many reporters in the press who made negative remarks were heavily influenced by the powers that be at Sony (you know who I mean), and others who just damned it to hell were already angry with Mariah and her "new" image. The movie was decent and worthy of your viewing (I am not saying cancel plans to watch it either), but overall it was decent and her acting was OK. (Don't forget that immediately afterwards she had a mental breakdown, and possibly that was effecting her on the set as well...no excuses being made on my part) I just feel that when Mariah started dressing sexy and began associating with R and B singers, and especially rappers, that many people got angry with her and could no longer identify with her. She has the right to venture into other areas of music, other than pop, and associate with whom she wants. She is a beautiful woman, with an incredible voice and can make a horrible song sound good. Her R & B/ rap collaborations are off the chain... and you must be one who appreciates that form of artistry to even judge it (or to have a relavent judgement). I look forward to seeing her new movie... I wish her all the luck in the world!

Actualy, MC is the one who kicked ass Mira's ass wink get yo facts straight potna.

And you guys couldn't be more negative flip u typical attitude from ya'll boo

I agree that her Glitter ain't all that but "Wise Girl" is mos def a different story. In Glitter, she was the bi-racial 30 yrs old womna who act like my 15 yrs ol niece matta o' fact my niece is more grown than her, while in WG she play a very different role from her personality ya know?? ~"What's the matter? everybody's watching us...you wanna do it again?...grab my a$$ again!"-Raychel(Mariah Carey)in "Wisegirls"

If you think that I'm sucking up 4 her then you're right.

She ain't the Worst Actress.most Music Artists Suck on the Big Screen She is better than most to me."Glitter" wasn't that bad.not Great but She was Alright to me.dug the Rick James Track "All My Love".She is a Good Video Artist not Great&She didn't give all Her Ideas to Music Video so She can try a few things.as Ice Cube Pointed out:when told that alot of Rappers can't act.Ice Cube said alot of Actors can't act.Mariah wasn't all that bad,not great but worth another chance at the screen.I give Mariah Props for Acting&working with a little known Cast aside from Dorian Gray.Whitney Houston on the Other Hand had a Rolls Royce Cast of Leading Men between Kevin Costner&Denzel Washington."Waiting to Exhale" with Angelia Basett had to have helped with also Wesley Snipes in the film among others.so Mariah gets points for doing Her thing&also not being just up on a Stage through the whole film almost.

They are trying to up the poor girls career which is no career at the moment. That Glitter movie is a bust. I don't think she is acting material. She should just stay with her voice.
