Mariah Carey Winning Raves for “Precious”!

Mariah Carey has already gotten rave reviews for her role as a dowdy, no-nonsense social worker in the movie Precious.

Director Lee Daniels hired Carey for the role in the movie after Oscar-winner Helen Mirren backed out. In a recent interview, Daniels said he gave Mariah the role, but he also issued a warning: Leave the diva act at home. Daniels says that Carey’s role in Precious took her way out of her comfort zone:

I knew that she would be out of her safety zone, and I knew that there would be no one for her to rely on, to say, ‘Get me this, get me that’. I could see in her eyes… ‘What is Lee doing to me?’ But I knew that she trusted me.

Whatever Daniels did to get Mariah Carey to channel her acting talent, it worked. Early buzz about the movie is strong for Mariah Carey’s performance and people are starting to understand that Mariah is a woman of many talents. Take a look at the trailer for Precious and you’ll see that this movie is far from glamorous.

Jon Gosselin Says He Wasn’t Fired, Blames Kate for His Skirt Chasing?

Jon Gosselin’s name may have been removed from the title of Jon and Kate Plus 8 but according to his rep, “he was not fired”. Gosselin’s rep Mike Heller told USMagazine that Jon was not kicked off the show.

TLC says Jon will continue to appear on the show, but not as often. The newly renamed Kate Plus Eight show will take effect beginning Nov. 2.

Jon Spills It to In Touch…Then Blames Kate for His Skirt Chasing?

Jon Gosselin tried to play the regret card by spilling his guts to In Touch magazine—but then he quickly went back to blaming Kate for his behavior, as usual. Gosselin told In Touch he regrets his conduct since splitting with wife Kate:

I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon…

In the In Touch interview, Jon said he wants to delay the divorce proceedings so he and Kate can:

Restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.

Maybe no one told Jon that while he has been sleeping with sorority girls and waitresses, Kate Gosselin has been doing what is best for his family. Gosselin’s regret quickly reverted back to blaming Kate for everything. Jon says Kate pretty forced him into the arms of all those women:

I think I was reacting to the pain I have been suffering as a result of Kate’s rejection of me.

I can’t believe he actually said that in public. OMG. Talk to me Gosselin fans!

Kate Plus 8: TLC drops Jon But Keeps Kate Gosselin for New “Kate Plus 8″

Kate Plus 8? TLC dropped Jon Gosselin but will continue to feature Kate Gosselin and the children on Kate Plus 8.

TLC President Eileen O’Neill says the new show will focus more on Kate’s new role as a single mom:

Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family. The family has evolved, and we are attempting to evolve with it. We feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers. Additionally, the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010.

The network says that Jon Gosselin will still appear in the show, but not on a regular basis. I think this is TLC’s way of saying they’ve had enough of your frat boy antics Mr. Gosselin. The network paid the Gosselin’s a whole bunch of money–I’m sure the network got tired of Jon Gosselin bar hopping in Ed Hardy shirts and dating college girls while dragging the Jon and Kate Plus 8 series through the mud!

Don’t worry Jon! I’m sure there are lots of gigs out there that pay you $75,000 a day! Unemployment is only 11%.

Jon Gosselin Off Jon & Kate Plus 8! TLC Gives Jon the Boot! Do You Agree?

Jon Gosselin is officially off Jon & Kate Plus 8! TLC announced this morning that as of Nov. 2—the series will undergo a name change, and will be called Kate Plus 8.

People got the scoop from a source close to Jon Gosselin. According to the friend of Jon:

Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on.

OMG! I agree with TLC’s decision because of Jon Gosselin’s anti-family behavior over the past few months. But I figured the network was locked into keeping Jon.

Talk to me, all you Gosselin watchers! What do you think of Jon getting the boot?

You want to get it? Grab it – I don’t care. Grab your phone, it doesn’t matter. Come on, just turn it off … unless you’ve got a better story.
