The townspeople of Nice, France aren't too thrilled with all the attention the Brangelina twins are receiving. There have been protests outside the hospital where Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt were born because they "Claim the Mayor of Nice has been spending his time waving the kids' birth certificates and kissing the butts of American movie stars [rather] than addressing the case of a local murder victim." • Helen Mirren: 63 and still foxy in a bikini. • Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are vacationing at Disney World. Considering her love for all things Hello Kitty, we're not really surprised that she chooses to spend her days off with famous cartoon characters. [TMZ, Dlisted, Just Jared]

yearning japanese
Does anyone around here speak Japanese!? Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon went to Japan, presumably to promote her album E=MC², and she threw out the first pitch at a baseball game (that made it about 18 inches before it hit the ground), shopped with a TV host, and then had a Q&A sesh with fans. It's all in the clip above, and it's so very awesome, because these TV hosts are narrating the whole thing in Japanese, and even though we don't really know what they're saying, the international language of mockery is understood by all. (The entire segment can be viewed here.) It's clear that during most of her shopping trip with one of the hosts, Mariah doesn't really have a clue what he is saying, so she just responds by giggling, saying stuff like, "Pretty" and talking about her favorite colors. We'd kill to know what the TV host asks Nick Cannon, because he looks confused and answers, "We're married. We're supposed to." Clip above.

Us Weekly Editor On Choosing The Mariah Cover Shot: "She Looks Great, But Not…Skanky."
Nightline went behind the scenes at Us to show how the celebrity weekly works. Editor-in-Chief Janice Min, despite encouraging the ever-expanding ego of the beast they call Speidi, comes off as a totally reasonable person. She tells the interviewer that when her female readers are challenged by their husbands about reading Us, they should ask, why do you watch sports? "What does it matter to you? It's men chasing a ball around a field," Min says. "It's of zero consequence to you." Ha! The feature also touches on the meaning of "celebrity news" and whether or not celebrities really want such intimate coverage. In the clip above, Min and company discuss all these things, along with the Mariah Carey weight loss cover which was chosen for its perfect ratio of skin to skank.Related: Us Weekly Editor: 'I Care' About Celebrity News [ABCNews]

Mariah Carey is on the cover of the June 2008 issue of Vibe looking absolutely tiny. You may recognize this image because the photo shoot was in her "Bye Bye" video. Maybe she really is a size zero (as she told Us magazine.) (Click for a closer look.)

Drew Barrymore was the victim of a hit and run accident yesterday in LA, but plucky Drew was quick enough to note the driver's license plate number. So busted. • Mariah Carey said that Nick Cannon was the one who popped the question. "I would never propose to someone," the diva said on Ellen. Next on the couples' agenda: babies. • Minnie Driver wants to try natural childbirth with her new bebe. "She's thinking about using a birthing pool and has been speaking about all the different places that it could go in her house," according to a "source." All I can think of is slip n' slide right now. [TMZ, Us, Celebrity Baby Scoop via Dlisted]
