If only some of these “gossip columns” checked their facts and figures.
One of yesterday’s local papers got just about everything wrong in its story about Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston’s new albums. I do hope Michael Lewittes takes them to task in his new Gossip Cop blog.
The NY Daily News apparently doesn’t know that this year’s Grammy eligibility deadline has moved up a month to Aug. 31. Because the decision was made late, Carey decided to wait and make her album good instead of rushed. As you can read in this column, the album is done and very, very good.
Whitney’s album is being released officially on Aug. 31. It’s been moved up a day from Sept. 1. I’m just sayin’…let’s get this stuff right. It ain’t rocket science.
Carey, by the way, cancelled a bunch of dates once the album was completed, and went on a late, delayed summer vacation. She has a big fall ahead, with the album release and the Lee Daniels Oscar movie, “Precious.”

Funny, but Roger Friedman is always the one who doesn’t check any facts. And yes, it’s already official that he is hired by Mariah’s PR team.

I actually thought the post by NY Post was a positive one! Mariah doesnt need the Grammy’s!
And Mariah isnt paying anyone. She has a new Record out! Which is why everyone is writing about her, including the NY Post!

Thanks for shot out, Roger. I just wrote a piece for Gossip Cop about the News’ “Bad Dates with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.” http://bit.ly/3wMHYP
And thanks for being among those who still care about fact-checking!
