Mariah Carey has signed on to do a reality show for E! and the decision has left some in her camp scratching their heads.
“Someone of Mariah’s stature should not be doing this. Whitney Houston did a reality show and that was the real end of it. We hope that it doesn’t end up being like when Whitney did ‘Being Bobby Brown,’” a Carey insider told Page Six.
The singer’s manager Stella Bulochnikov is the mastermind behind the project and our source says Carey’s so in love with fiancé James Packer that she’s oblivious to what’s happening in her professional life. The show is based around Mariah and her entourage.
“Mariah’s amazing and treats people with the utmost respect and kindness and Stella is the total opposite. She comes from producing reality TV and calls herself the Russian dictator,” said the source, who added, “I guess Mariah is just in love and not paying attention to what’s happening around her.”
Packer’s rep says “he is not involved in any reality TV program.”
Bulochnikov appropriately responded to Page Six, “If you’re trying to get into my good graces, you’re doing a wonderful job. Feel free to write whatever the f - - k you want, so all three of your readers can be amused . . . F - - k off and lose my number. You are an idiot. Mariah is on fire.”
