Ok, so Mariah Carey was presented with the Breakthrough Actress award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards gala on Tuesday, January 5th for her performance in the film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I have not yet seen the movie, but have heard great things about the movie and I want to see it, soon hopefully. She is clearly drunk, which makes for a bit of an embarrassing speech.
This first video is her actual acceptance speech, in its entirety. The short version has been getting much more circulation around the web, but I think seeing her entire speech shows that she does pull it back together for the actual content of the speech.
The following night, Carey attended the People's Choice Awards which gave her an opportunity to comment on the previous night's happenings. The following video is her chatting with reporters backstage.
Ok, that's it. Congratulations Mariah and thanks for the laughs -- good save.

EXCITED!
From the December 12, 2009 episode of Saturday Night Live - "Surprise." I guess there is such thing as being too excited. Though I have a few friends who can get pretty damn excited given the right occassion -- or even completely lacking any occasion at all. :)

Men on Film II
Ok kids, here's your history lesson for today -- take note.....
In Living Color was a sketch comedy television series that aired in the early 1990's. Brothers Keenen and Damon Wayans created, wrote and starred in the program. Men on Film was a recurring sketch appearing on the show featuring Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier. In this parody of Siskel & Eber, a pair of extremely effeminate gay men, Blaine Edwards and Antoine Merriweather, review films completely based on their potential for homoerotic content. It is from here the phrase "Hated It!" was born.

A Wedding Entrance
Wow, totally amazing! My hats go off to these folks that show us how a wedding ceremony can be whatever you want it to be -- filled with love, energy, music and fun. The first time I watched this video I actually had a few tears in my eyes by the end -- tears of happiness. Thank you!
