Nick chops it up w/ Gemineye
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010School Gyrls talk to Girls Life
Saturday, March 13th, 2010
Detention’s a drag, isn’t it? No talking, no eating, no sleeping…no fun! But how do you make it fun? Get stuck in there with your two besties and make a plan to take down the queen bee of the school!
Actually – don’t. Being good tends to pay off, unless you’re in the new Nickelodeon movie School Gyrls – premiering Sunday, February 21!
The movie is based on the new girl group School Gyrls. It features three super-talented chicks: Mandy Rain, Jacque (pronounced “Jackie”) Rae Pyles and Monica Parales. And with such talented vocals from each, we just know you’ll love ‘em.
We managed to catch up with Jacque and Monica, and got them to spill on their past as well as the School Gyrls’ future!
Describe [your] favorite experience from filming the School Gyrls movie.
Jacque: I have a lot of great experiences from filming the movie. I would say probably the fact that I got to make such amazing friends, and being able to work with such amazing people [like] Mandy, Monica and Nick Cannon!
Monica: My favorite experience from filming was the whole process! Meeting great people and just working with people your age. We had soo much fun learning and memorizing dance routines, lyrics and lines.
Have you ever experienced detention in real life?
Jacque: I have experienced detention in real life, actually a couple times! Ha! Because of little things [like] not getting my work in on time, or dress code, but it was never anything serious like back talk or fighting or anything!
Monica: The only time I was in detention was when the whole class had it. That one time was because most of the students forged their parents’ signatures on their own Home Reading Clubs, which was like a log for each time you would read.
What’s your favorite thing to do with the other girls in your down time?
Jacque: My favorite thing to do with the gyrls is probably just chill out and Ustream with fans, or dance, or go shopping!
Monica: My favorite thing to do with the girls on my downtime is just chill, eat and talk with them about anything – and also shopping!
What’s your favorite song on your iPod right now? What about the most embarrassing?
Jacque: Well, I don’t really have a favorite song, but I would have to say my favorite album at the moment is We Are Young Money! As for an embarrassing song? I am not embarrassed of any of the songs on there!
Monica: My favorite song on my iPod right now is “Rude Boy” by Rihanna. The most embarrassing would be “It’s Raining Men.”
If you could collaborate musically with any artist right now, who would it be and why?
Jacque: If I could collab with any artists, I would say Young Money or Trey Songz! I think it would be amazing to have Young Money on a track because their rapping with our singing would just be dope! As for Trey Songz, he is my singer celeb crush!
Monica: Well, I’ve already had the chance to work with the most beautiful and talented Mariah Carey, which I am soo blessed for. If there was anyone else, I would say Alicia Keys. I love her music also.
Growing up, were there any girl groups you totally loved or look towards for inspiration?
Jacque: Um, well of course I looked up to the Spice Girls! I use[d] to watch their movie over and over and over. I think when it came out I knew all the lines of the movie word for word! And their tour bus?! My gosh I always wanted one! Hah, but I really looked up to Destiny’s Child and still do, to this day!
Monica: When I was growing up there were a looot of girl groups that I was into [like] the Spice Girls, Eden’s Crush, SWV, 702, Destiny’s Child and my favorite of all time – TLC.

Nick & Mariah: The Movie
Saturday, March 13th, 2010Nick Cannon wants to make a film with Mariah Carey.
The rapper-and-presenter claims his spouse is the funniest person he knows and he would love for them to show off her comedic talents in a joint venture.
He said: “I’d love to do a film with Mariah. But it would have to be a comedy. She’s the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time.”
Mariah’s most recent big screen outing was as a dowdy social worker in ‘Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire’ and she admits she felt “tortured” by the role, although she believes it has made her a better person.
She said: “It was definitely a commitment to be seen looking that bad. I love Lee Daniels, the director, but he’s a sick man. He wanted to torture me.
“But you know, it freed me in a lot of ways. I don’t worry about certain things in the same way any more.”

Nick let’s Mariah’s “Big Surprise” out the bag
Friday, March 12th, 2010Mariah Carey sure knows how to stir the pot.
The 39-year-old diva sent bloggers into a frenzy when she teased on the Oscars red carpet that she has “something special on the way.” Of course that means she’s preggers, right?
We caught up with Carey’s other half, Nick Cannon, who let us in on a little secret…
“It’s funny because the big surprise has to do with Home Shopping Network or something like that,” Cannon revealed at the Stars & Strikes Fundraiser supporting APCH at PINZ in Studio City. “She has a new product coming out. It has nothing to do with kids.”
Mimi may not have a bun in the oven just yet, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen soon. “We would have a beautiful baby, wouldn’t we?” Cannon said. “We’re laying the foundation right now. We just got a home out here and all that stuff, and Mariah just came off tour, so we’ll see what happens.”
In the meantime, the sexy songbird and her hubby are just enjoying married life. “What people don’t understand is Mariah has the funniest sense of humor ever,” Cannon gushed. “She’s hilarious. We always have a good time.”

Nick: Mariah And I ‘Plan On Having Kids!’
Friday, March 12th, 2010
While Mariah Carey may not be pregnant YET, she and hubby Nick Cannon are definitely talking kids!
“Family is important to us. We plan on having kids in the future,” the 29-year-producer raved of his wife of nearly two years at the APCH Stars & Strikes celebrity bowling and poker tournament in Los Angeles March 10.
Children seem like an excellent idea for these two, especially as they seem to be so completely in love. While Nick simply smiled when we asked if babies were on their way ASAP, he did gush how beautiful his wife is.
Although he joked that Mariah, 39, would need two weeks to prepare for the Oscars, he told us it actually took the songbird “twenty minutes” to get ready because, “she’s so beautiful, that’s all she needs.”
Everyone altogether now: awwwwwwwww.
But just how has this A-list couple managed to have such a successful union? “Marry your best friend,” Nick advised us.

Nick Cannon And Janell Snowden Are In Love
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010We jest! Sort of. Sifting through our 2010 Oscars coverage, we came across this video clip of Janell Snowden, our friend from VH1 News, walking up to Mariah Carey and telling her straight up that she’s always had a thing for her hubby Nick Cannon. Mariah looks peeved at first, but then rolls with the joke. But what neither Mimi nor Janell know is that we’ve been waiting for just the right moment to unearth a clip of an on-camera flirtation between Nick and Janell that’s been buried deep within our archives.

Mariah And Nick Talk Fashion On Oscar Red Carpet
Monday, March 8th, 2010For her role as social worker Miss Weiss in the Academy Award-nominated film “Precious,” Mariah Carey underwent a drastic make-under, sporting a mustache, mousey tresses and dowdy clothes that left the otherwise-glamorous singer nearly unrecognizable.
But, as any red-carpet-watcher would expect, Carey was nothing short of stunning when MTV News caught up with her and husband Nick Cannon at the Academy Awards, where the two joked about getting dressed for the big night.
“Of course, she tells me what she’s going to wear, and I go pull something out of the laundry hamper and iron it and put it on,” Cannon joked. “But she’s fabulous.”
“He doesn’t hardly iron a thing,” Carey laughed.
“Yeah, I don’t know how to iron,” Cannon admitted. “I’m surprised this isn’t wrinkled now.”
Carey’s purple gown clearly didn’t come out of a dirty-clothes hamper, but instead of trying on a slew of dresses from different designers, Carey streamlined her wardrobe-selection process by working directly with Valentino.
“We worked with them and did a lot of different sketches and stuff. We just thought it would be a nice moment, a leg moment for a different thing,” Carey said, good-naturedly referencing her frequently exposed décolletage.
“What if I had my leg out?” Nick asked.
“You could start a new trend,” Carey said.
“What if I had a split from the top of my pants?”
“You do you, man,” she said. “That’s why I love you.”

One on One with RydazNrtist
Sunday, March 7th, 2010On February 27th Mariah Carey’s Angel’s Advocate’s tour ended it’s run. It’s final stop was in Las Vegas at The Colosseum inside Caesars Palace. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to have a lil sit down with the opening act RydazNrtist following their smashing set.
The fellas were absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed myself and I hope they did too. Hopefully it won’t be the last time.
