Mariah Carey mercilessly mocked over BET Awards performance as fans accuse her of lip syncing
Mariah Carey made a jaw-dropping appearance at the BET Awards on Monday night. Not only did the legendary diva, 56, receive the coveted Icon Awards, she was also one of the best-dressed stars at the event. However, some fans were underwhelmed when Mimi took to the stage to perform her new single Type Dangerous. Despite looking like a million bucks, the Honey hitmaker barely moved while performing the hip-hop track. 'I love Mariah but one thing she's not gonna do is dance! Well still love her music though,' commented one. 'She's been in this industry too long to just be standing there like that,' wrote another. 'I remember when Mariah divorced Tommy [Mottola] and danced for a whole album before she decided that was enough,' joked a third. One naysayer even compared Mariah to her longtime rival Jennifer Lopez. 'The way she needs help going down a small flight of stairs is hilarious, and then you have JLo doing back flips and front flips on stage dancing salsa and hip hop at the level of 20- to 30-year-old professional dancers,' they wrote. 'She is the most boring entertainer I've ever seen,' added another. Some fans also claimed that songstress may have been lip syncing her performance. 'Mariah please lip sync more convincingly!!' wrote one, while another wrote, 'Mariah was stiff as hell lip syncing up there but that's MOTHER so I'll let it slide.' Despite some backlash, many others defended Mariah and insisted that she'd earned the right to perform however she wants to after such a long and illustrious career. 'The only woman in the industry that cannot move the entire time and still shut the stage down,' gushed one. 'Don't disrespect the legend. Expecting Mariah to dance is like expecting Aretha (RIP) to dance. DIVAS don't dance,' wrote another. While her performance left a little to be desired, Mimi certainly turned heads with her ageless good looks at the awards show. The 56-year-old looked shockingly youthful in a stunning gold sequined minidress to perform her latest hit. The beauty, who wore her long blond hair pin straight with a middle part, also pulled out a glittering white corset dress for later in the ceremony. It had a prominent bust and sparkling sequins that complemented the tear-shaped diamonds on her necklaces and earrings, as well as her glittering bracelets. She was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award along with other stars, including Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg and Kirk Franklin. Mariah is currently preparing to release her 16th studio album. According to Forbes, the songstress, who has had 19 number one singles, is aiming to get her 20th chart topper with her new single Type Dangerous. 'She's fighting to stay contemporary,' her longtime producer LA Reid told the publication. Mariah left her label Epic Records, who released her last album Caution, to partner with new music company Gamma for her comeback.

‘He changed the rules for all of us who came after': Lee Child remembers Frederick Forsyth
I remember two things about the first full week of January 1972. I passed my driving test on the Monday, and on the Friday I made my weekly trip to the library and borrowed The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth. I had no idea I would one day be a writer myself – at that point I was merely an insatiable reader – but in retrospect that Friday marked an important way station on the journey from one to the other. I gobbled up the book and thought it was fantastic – fast, pacy, exciting, suspenseful and laced with detail and intrigue. Then I thought, wait, what? How was this book working? It was a twin-track thriller – an assassin hunts his target while law enforcement hunts the assassin. But the intended victim was Charles de Gaulle, a real person, the president of France, who had died from an aneurysm in 1970. Therefore we all knew the assassin had failed. How did that not short-circuit the will-he-won't-he suspense that thrillers seemed to require? And the main character was an absolute cipher – a completely blank slate. No backstory, no history, no explanation, no reason, no justification. No description. Not even a name. Yet we all rooted for him. We secretly admired him. We wanted him to succeed. How-to books about writing tell us to create sympathetic, fleshed-out characters, and then place them in great peril, and leave the outcome uncertain until the last page. Forsyth ignored all that. In so doing, he showed us that the how question was as powerful as the who, why, where and when. He showed us that intriguing detail and inside information was compelling in itself. He created a year-zero thriller that reset the whole genre. Sign up to Bookmarks Discover new books and learn more about your favourite authors with our expert reviews, interviews and news stories. Literary delights delivered direct to you after newsletter promotion Inadvertently, he claimed. I met him in the early 2010s and we began hanging out occasionally and corresponding fairly often – he by typed snail-mail, me by email printed for him by his wife. He said he knew he had to write the book because he was unemployed and broke, but at first he had trouble feeling his way into it. He was a journalist by trade, and his lightbulb moment was to imagine he was doing a book-length true-crime feature about recent events. The result was a novel that changed the rules for all of us that came after.
