Is Mariah Carey really precious?
Posted May 18, 2009
Despite Mariah looking on full-on diva mode on the Cannes red-carpet in a little black Dolce & Gabbana dress - flip to the big screen and you'll see (quite literally) a quite different face to Mariah.
The film, Precious which has just premiered in Cannes, has already won critical acclaim and won the Audience Award and Grand Jury prize for best drama at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
The film which also stars Lenny Kravitz is adapted from the novel, Push. Set in Harlem in 1987, it tells the story of an overweight, illiterate girl who becomes pregnant with her second child at the age of 16 after she is raped by her father. Focusing on a human's capacity to overcome whatever is thrown in their way - the film is quite aptly jointly produced by Oprah Winfrey.
Gabourey Sidibe plays the title role after director Lee Daniels discovered her on the streets of New York, whilst Mariah complete with a dodgy haircut and unflattering blouse plays a social worker - with not a private jet in sight.
Take a peek at the official trailer below.

When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.
The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…

Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
