Looks good to me! It’s definitely a little scary when you nail something so completely on the first shot because there’s always going to be that voice in your head that’s like, “I know this one looks perfect, but maybe if I had just tried one more time it would’ve been even MORE perfect,” but I think in this case you just have to silence that voice. You cannot get any better than this! I don’t want to spend a lot of time breaking down all the elements because the last thing you want to do with magic is over-explain, but let me quickly mention that the face — my goodness, the face is just unbelievable. That is a Grade A face. Perfect human smile and perfect human eyes, alight with the fact that they are not only from a human, but from a human who is smiling in a way that is completely natural. Was this photo taken candidly? Did Nick Cannon take this photo while he and Mariah were vacationing privately somewhere, perfectly relaxed and enjoying the safe comfort they find in each other’s presence? NO? THIS WAS A STAGED PHOTO TAKEN BY A PHOTOGRAPHER? Bananas. And what a bold move, to hold your hands in such a simple, relatable way for your American Idol promo photo. No flashy stuff here, just Mariah being Mariah — and you know what? It works. No, I definitely do NOT think they should’ve taken another shot at this Mariah Carey American Idol promo picture.

Mariah Carey is awesome and I wish I didn’t have to sit through stupid American Idol to watch her be her amazing, totally human, normal self.
This picture was clearly chosen because it was the easiest pose from which to have several ribs digitally removed.
I mean…could there BE any more evidence of clone stamp tool action just under her elbow?
No kidding. The more I look at it, the more incredulous I get. Someone was paid to do that work! Paid!
HAHAHAHAHAHA. You can’t unsee that. Oh man, I can do better work than that in MS Paint.
It is very obvious. I hate that they don’t know they can pay me less to do a better job. And I don’t even do it for a living. I’M NOT EVEN GOOD AT IT. Fuck.
She’s almost too normal. Why would I want to watch someone who is exactly like me?
Same reason I enjoy watching someone like you (exactly like you (because it IS you(through your window (I’m out here right now (by the way, I hope you don’t mind that I’m using your wifi))))).
I’m flattered…come in for a snack. We’ll have…TACOS.
If you’re lucky!
Take your right hand and move it up to the front of your right shoulder like she’s doing in the picture. Done? Good. You’re totally relaxed and comfortable now.
I pose like that all the time when I’m on a shit ton of Xanax.
Who would win in a fight between Mariah Carey and a lobster?
The best part of this question is that it could actually happen and I honestly don’t know.
You guys. Do NOT do a Google image search for “Mariah Carey lobster” to see if this has, in fact happened. Because you will find out that one of the search results that people have searched for before is Mariah Carey Lobster Claw. And if you don’t know what that means, you might make it into a web search, and you will find out. And wish that you had not.
I’m frightened just reading that.
on it. blame it on the vodka.
the mainstreaming of the pervy-boyfriend-asked-you-to-pose-naked has begun.
I had no idea Mariah Carey was Psylocke!
I brush my teeth in that exact same pose
Do you also speak out of your breasts?
No, but you should hear my bellybutton! “Hellllllllooooooo”
it’s also working on a food truck service, that bellybutton.
She is also sometimes Catwoman!
Woaw sorry that is a large image. Sorry. Sorry, everyone.
Holy Unrealistic Body Angles Batman!
Earlier today I wore that very dress to the dentist.
Not enough smizing.
This seems a lil more natch, I think
This is very good.
It’s certainly better than mine…(which was the only was I could imagine justifying her hand pose)
Well, this seems like a good enough place to slap in a promo shot for a monster’s birthday… Happy Birthday, badideajeans.
How nice of you! I mean, my birthday is on Sunday, so you could have at least THOUGHT of me, but it’s cool!
Happy Birthday Facetaco!
Oh boy!
I’ll piggyback on that!
wooooooooooooooo
This is perfect. I’m just going to co-sign it.
Wait, I’ll add this.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
It’s also Jeremy Piven’s birthday. We shouldn’t leave him out…
I found that, for the record. Just like I found this one for birthday girl Helen Mirren…
Awww!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BADIDEAJEANS! You’re a wonderful Monster! I can’t wait til Smellagram takes off and we’re both stinking rich! (PS: I finished Grimm! It was fun! Although the finale felt like it just cut off right in the middle? I thought for sure we were only in the second act and then it was over! But still fun! Love Pilates Wolf!)
Well it comes back right after the Olympics!!! And they did that on purpose, according to my friend whose work was the original scouted location for the girlfriend scene. I want them to scout my work for a location scene because then they’d be in my house and I could be all “Hey Pilates Wolf, you work out? You play cello? You fall asleep reading about the Roman empire?” and also because then they would have to pay me to film there.
Hooray! That means my late watching is actually paying off as I don’t have to wait too long for the next season! I ADORED that he was reading The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. So cute. He’s so cute.
Late to the party and forgot to bring a Blingee, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BADIDEAJEANS!!!
GO AMERICA!!!
