she’d look something like this.

That’s Mariah as a man (Eminem?) in her upcoming video for “Obsessed.” There’s also this photo of her dressed as a chauffeur, leading me to think (hope!) Mariah may be playing EVERYONE in this video. There were already rumors her bitchy alter ego Bianca, from the “Heartbreaker” video, was making an appearance.

Mariah also appears as herself in the video.

I never did post the cover for Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which Mariah debuted on her website last week. Check it out after the jump.

After his infamous f-bomb on the set of Grey’s Anatomy, many will write this off as an attempt to change his image but, kudos to Isaiah Washington for posing for the NO H8 campaign.

Michael as a child

I’m watching a former Jackson attorney on CNN talking about MJ’s problems with medication and the enablers in his life. He says he warned those around MJ.

I never imagined I’d see Michael Jackson as an old man but this is still jarring. I’ll write some thoughts on MJ to get up later.

But as I type, something just pissed me off. The company promoting Jackson’s London shows say that in order to be insured for the tour, the icon underwent a four-hour physical that revealed “no issues whatsoever.” — THIS MAKES NO SENSE! We’ve all seen photos of Jackson in recent months and it was clear there were some issues.

A Jackson family spokesman just did a phoner with CNN and says the family was aware Jackson had a problem with prescriptions and had been trying to intervene but the “enablers” in his life, kept them out.

“ENABLERS” – a word that keeps coming up.

Here are some photos I took with my phone at the Apollo Theater in Harlem last night. People were not mourning – they were celebrating. It was quite fun and made all this a little less sad.

I meant to post this days ago but, it’s too good to skip all together.

It looks like Rachel Roy isn’t wasting any time getting back out there.

Rachel Roy and Damon Dash

You may remember Roy slapped her future ex-husband, Damon Dash, with divorce papers in May. Last week, Page Six spotted the designer “getting cozy” with actor Gerard Butler at a comedy show in NYC.

Go Rachel! … And her resort collection is killin it.

According to reports, Martin Lawrence is working on two television projects.

The one I’m most excited about is a Fox animated series about a 13-year-old Martin getting into mischief in D.C. I’m all about my Boondocks, hyped about The Cleveland Show, and now this! Black animated comedy is about to have a great season! Rodney Barnes, who was a co-executive producer on “The Boondocks,” is working with Lawrence on the show.

The other project is a Starz comedy about an interracial family. The show is based on the comedy of Gary Owen (known as “that funny white guy who does ‘black comedy’”) who may star in the show.

Fashionista says creative differences Patricia Field and Sarah Jessica Parker may lead to – gasp! – someone else styling the Sex and the City sequel.

According to the blog, SJP is getting all socially conscious and would like her character’s wardrobe to reflect the current recession and Patricia Field ain’t havin’ it.

I guess I get SJP’s point, but Carrie’s over-the-top fabulousness is one of the few main reasons I’m checking this movie out!

Jennifer Lopez, who was one of the first celebs to do the clothing line thing, launched Sweetface, the high-end answer to her JLo brand, in 2003. The line had a couple of good years, but news came today that production on Sweetface has ended.

JLoSweetface

Sweetface’s spring line, already in stores, will be the last. This is JLo’s third line to launch big and hyped and later slink away – at least from US stores. First the JLo brand was pulled from U.S. racks then justsweet, affordable junior-esque line that replaced JLo, was also pulled.

According to reports, JLo is still sold in 40 other countries, but if you don’t want to pay a fortune in shipping or travel fees and, for some strange reason, are looking to cop some of Lopez’s fashions, you should be able to find several Sweetface pieces online at majorly discounted prices.

I found this “belted collar coat,” which is really just a dress, on Revolve Clothing.

It was originally $492.00 and is on sale for $123.00.

Spotted at NY Mag

Blogger Perez Hilton accused rapper/ producer / actor Will.i.am of assaulting him Sunday night, after Canada’s MuchMusic Video Award.

Here’s a snippet from Perez’s Twitter page, where he made the accusation.

(Swiped from VladTV)

Interesting that he was trying to contact the police not by dialing his phone, but by using his phone to update his Twitter page.

Will.i.am opened a Twitter account just to respond to the allegations. TMZ is reporting that not Will.i.am, but Polo Molina, general manager of the Black Eyed Peas, turned himself into police this morning.

This is one scandal that Blair Waldorf would never get caught up in. Sadly, one of my faves, the lovely Leighton Meester, has joined the sex tape club.

Blair Waldorf

This is sooo wrong. Leighton’s hot right now, covering magz and just signed a record deal. Of course, now this tape that she made a “few years back” with a boyfriend, according to TMZ, has surfaced.

I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?

Mariah’s clearly going at Eminem in “Obsessed” although I’m not sure he’s the only one – I guess we’ll have to wait for the biography.

You can listen to the song here. It’s a different sound for Mariah and the lyrics are quite bold. I’m definitely feeling it.

Here are some of my favorite lyrics:

Got ya all fired up with your Napoleon complex
See right through ya like ya bathin in Windex

You a mom and pop, I’m a corporation
I’m the press conference, you a conversation

Why you so Obsessed with me? (Boy I wanna know)
Lyin that your sexin me (and everybody knows)

News also came today that Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will drop August 25th!!
