Mariah Carey reveals what she really thinks about the Grammys after being snubbed for years

has blasted the Grammys after being snubbed out of nominations for years. The 56-year-old singer has won only five Grammy Awards during the course of her successful career thus far - with her last nomination occurring 16 years earlier. The Always Be My Baby hitmaker appeared on Pitchfork's Over/Under YouTube series where celebrities weigh in on pop culture symbols including Labubus, Crocs, and Christmas. When the topic of the biggest award show in music came up, Mariah pulled no punches as she said: 'Ha, I think the Grammys are overrated.' Mariah went on to clarify that she meant that both the award show and the award itself were overrated. She didn't fully turn into her bitterness as she added: 'But we love everybody.' Last October, the Fantasy songstress opened up about the topic during the latest episode of the Las Culturistas podcast. At one point, hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers expressed that she doesn't 'have enough' Grammy wins, per Entertainment Weekly. Carey agreed and said in response, 'They scaaaaammed me. They toy with me.' Mariah has garnered a whopping 34 Grammy nominations - with her first win taking place in 1991 for Best New Artist and Best Pop Female Vocal Performance for Vision Of Love. In 2006, her album Emancipation Of Mimi won the Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album. The same year, she also won Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the track, We Belong Together. Her last Grammy nomination was in 2009 for Best Gospel Performance for the song titled, I Understood, which also featured Kim Burrell, Rance Allen and Bebe Winans. Mariah has sold around 220 million records across the globe, and notably landed the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart 19 times as a solo artist. She has garnered a list of other accolades over the years, such as winning 10 American Music Awards and 20 Billboard Music Awards. Aside from the Las Culturistas podcast, Carey has previously let her feelings be known about her few Grammy wins. In February 2024, the star was honored with the Recording Academy's Global Impact Award at the 2024 Black Music Collective event. Upon taking to the stage, she seemingly threw shade at the Grammys, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'Is this a real Grammy? I haven't seen one in soooooo long,' Mariah humorously said to the crowd. 'It's weird. I don't know. We'll figure out what this is later.'

Emily In Paris looking for 500 extras - but there's one surprising requirement

Emily In Paris bosses have issued a casting call as they search for 500 extras to appear in the next season, but there's a huge catch that could hold hopefuls back Emily In Paris bosses are looking for 500 extras to appear in its next season. The Netflix hit, which stars Lily Collins in the title role, normally shoots in the French capital but as filming for the next batch of episodes in Vienna after Emily moved to Rome, they have put out a call for several locals to act as background artists. ‌ The block of filming for the fifth season of the hit comedy drama in question will take place until next Monday, and as part of the story, Emily will take a trip to the Italian city with love interest Marcello Muratori, played by Eugenio Franceschini. Scenes will be shot at landmarks such as Hotel San Daniele, the Santi Giovanni and Paolo basilica and the Grand Canal amongst a host of others so legions of extras will be required in order to realistically pad out the heavy tourist areas. ‌ The casting call stipulates that, in order to be considered for a background part, women must be 'beautiful' and wear a dress size from size six to ten only. The call reads: "We are looking for beautiful extras, with a lean physique and size from 38 to 42." It comes after one huge TV star looks completely unrecognisable as she reveals latest facelift. ‌ 'Well-groomed, dry body, attractive' is also bluntly listed as criterion, and men must be size 46–52, and while 'all ages' will be considered, they must adhere to the physical requirements in order to be in with a chance of landing a role in the background. What's more, fans only have until midnight on 20 August to apply. Away from the cameras, Lily, welcomed Tove, six months, with Charlie McDonnell and her co-star Lucien Laviscount, recently admitted she's juggling motherhood with her leading-lady duties like a total pro as filming ramps up on the new season. Lucien, 32, who plays heartthrob Alfie in the series, says reuniting with the cast has been like no time has passed at all. 'It's so bizarre… life's been going on for everyone, but it only feels like a couple of weeks,' he says. 'We're getting the scripts through, it's like, 'Oh sh*t, this is crazy.' It's going off!' He also had us laughing talking about his Schweppes campaign — a cheeky nod to his Caribbean roots and growing up with ginger beer at his grandma's. 'Schweppes was like the fancy stuff we bring out at Christmas,' he shared, adding with a grin, 'It was like a perfect little match, to be honest.' ‌ Filming has taken place over the last few months and there is of drama ahead - both on screen and off - and Laviscount promises this season is one to watch. 'Everyone's really excited about what's to come,' he says. 'It's all there to play for, really.' Fizzing with energy, we say! After months away from filming Emily In Paris, Lily's return to set was always going to be a welcoming affair. But Netflix star brought the entire set to a standstill as she returned to work with her four month old daughter in tow. Cradling her in her arms, the 36-year-old actress looked the picture of happiness as she was surrounded by her cast mates and crew as they cooed over her baby girl, named Tove. And it looked as though the four month old was also in her element as she playfully smiled and sat comfortable in the arms of various pals of the actress. The new series of the show is being filmed in Rome instead of Paris as Lily's character is now creating a new life for herself in the historical city with her on-screen boyfriend Marcello, played by Eugenio Franceschini. Back in January, Lily and Charlie welcomed their daughter via surrogate. Sharing her happy news with her 29 million followers, Lily posted: "Welcome to the center [sic] of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…"

Asian Persuasion review – indie New York romcom of divorcee meddling in his ex's dating life

It is unexpected to see vintage romcom values upheld in an indie movie populated almost exclusively by Filipino-Americans. Tony award-winning producer Jhett Tolentino at least has a good high-concept hook for his feature directorial debut: a beleaguered divorcee tries to get out of paying alimony to his ex-wife by making a fake dating profile to bag her a new partner. Sadly, this tonally shaky and borderline-sociopathic outing doesn't have the class or skill to be part of the much-needed renaissance for the genre. Asian Persuasion takes place on the great New York dating grounds beloved of many a romcom: feckless single dad Mickey (Dante Basco, who played the leader of the Lost Boys in Steven Spielberg's Hook) is struggling to elevate his Queens coffee shop, Da Fili Beans, to hipster notoriety. Ponying up payments to his fashion designer ex Avery (KC Concepcion) as they co-parent their daughter isn't helping. So during a night on the lash with his wingman Caspian (Kevin Kreider), they cook up a scheme to make her someone else's problem; preppy financial analyst Lee-Kwan (Paolo Montalban) is the man they target as their best hope. Tolentino's attempts to court the zeitgeist are often painful, including Caspian premiering his latest TikTok dance at the coffee shop, and self-conscious dialogue apparently drawn from below-the-line on Instagram ('Can I unsubscribe from that memory?'). This extends to a strain of crassness ('We're practically drowning in a tsunami of poon') that makes for a rough transition to true romance, when Mickey uses his insider knowledge to knock Lee-Kwan into shape, Cyrano-style, as the ultimate seducer. So it's not a shock when Asian Persuasion lacks the finesse required to pull off the U-turn when Mickey decides he wants Avery back. His ham-fisted sushi-bar sabotage scheme is completely unconvincing, leaving the already hard-pedalling actors looking daft. The cursory flashbacks to the couple's disintegrating marriage first time round don't add enough depth to make him seem much more than manipulative, or her more than an inexplicable dupe. Alternately gullible or status-obsessed, its female characters feel retrograde – even featuring a French character actually wearing a beret. The film doesn't exactly cover itself in glory, a shame considering Tolentino's evident zeal for promoting Asian representation. Asian Persuasion is on digital platforms from 25 August.
