Remember When Mariah Carey Went Crazy?
Mariah Carey is flying high from her 18th #1 hit "Touch My Body," and she's been all over the place promoting her new album (Oprah yesterday, American Idol tonight), E=MC² which came out today. But remember when things were going so great in her career about seven years ago, specifically when she freaked out in the summer of 2001 from not sleeping? (Remember when Glitter was the first time we could all truly laugh after September 11?) Above is a clip from her July 2001 surprise appearance on TRL, in which she wore a skimpy outfit, handed out popsicles, and rambled about stuff that didn't make any sense. ("All I know is I just want one day off when I can go swimming and look at rainbows and like eat ice cream. And maybe like learn how to ride a bicycle.") A few days later, she checked into a mental facility. We're glad she's feeling a lot better and is back on top, but we kinda thought she was equally entertaining while hitting rock bottom.

What Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor Says About You
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a cute little time-waster yanked from IceCream.com, entitled "What does your favorite ice cream flavor say about you?" Well, here are some answers: Butter pecan is respectful, chocolate chip is competitive, coffee is flirtatious. One problem: Chocolate is conspicuously absent from the list. Another problem: The descriptions are just too damn perky and positive! So in honor of our feeling cranky, persnickety and cantankerous today, we've created our own version. Check it out after the jump. More »

Fergie Schools Us In The Nuances Of Product Placement
- Fergie absolutely does not rap about Candie's shoes because she is paid to rap about Candie's shoes. She only raps about brand names she's not paid to rap about, like Bentleys and Taco Bell. She keeps it real that way. [WWD, 1st item]
- Yves Saint Laurent has been hospitalized and is reportedly "not doing well." But he's kind of a hypochondriac so whatevs. [WWD, sub req'd]
- Our favorite fashion blogger, Lauren Goldstein Crowe, is not happy. Because she used to be able to get Miu Miu on the cheap, and now, shit is fucking expensive. We get the feeling her press discount might've gone bye-bye. [Portfolio]
- England continues to lay down the law when it comes to models: Not only must they be over age 16, but now there can't be any cigarettes or (gasp!) recreational drugs backstage! And blah blah blah they want the girls to weigh more, unionize, go to school, get acupuncture, find spiritual well-being... basically turn them into Mount Holyoke students or something. Yeah, THAT'LL sell clothes. [WWD, sub req'd]
