-The first trailer from Mariah Carey’s upcoming docu-series Mariah’s World just landed and I’m already hooked. “I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses. I know it’s very 90s.” Bless. Also, she appeared at the upfronts in a sequin bathing suit and was carried out on a chaise by two shirtless men.
-In other upfronts news, the NBC trailers look surprisingly great (especially the Parenthood-y show starring Mandy Moore and the Mike Schur sitcom with Kristen Bell), the season two trailer of Mr Robot is awesome (and includes a cool Easter egg), critics lost their poo over the 24: Legacy footage , and everyone’s loving the look of E!’s very thinly veiled take on TomKat, The Arrangement.
-Meanwhile, it was a rough weekend for female characters in pop culture. On the heels of Agent Carter’s cancellation and Sleepy Hollow’s dumb renewal without Nicole Beharie, CBS passed on a Nancy Drew reboot because it “tested too female,” and a female villain in Iron Man 3 was reportedly axed due to concerns over toy sales.
-On the plus side, a Harley Quinn spinoff movie is in the works. Guys, we have to support the crap out of this one. Even when Margot Robbie tries to convince us she’s only 25.
-People is doing a deep-dive into Chris Evans and Jenny Slate’s relationship which is good, considering last week they were trying to explain to us who she was like we didn’t know.
-Meanwhile, People just ran another PR camp-approved story about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s cozy life in London. It’s happening, guys.

–This article is excellent (and depressing): “An Oscar Winner Bullied Me So Badly That I Quit the Film Industry.” The sleuths in the comments section have pegged the movie as Election, with the horrible director being Alexander Payne and the gross assistant director George Parra, who used to date Catherine Zeta-Jones.
-That story may explain why Chloe Sevigny says she has “total disdain for directors.”

–Jimmy Kimmel filled in as a cohost with Kelly Ripa this morning, and he made it all kinds of awkward, asking “where’s Michael?” and “what happened?”
–Brett Ratner just redefined white privilege by penning this pissy article about the Hotel de Cap in Cannes (aka – the nicest hotel I’ve ever been to in my life). No one carried your bags? You were “ashamed” that your neighbors were makeup artists and publicists? Aw, muffin.
