Mariah Gives Back!

This is really sweet!
Mariah Carey threw a party for 35 underprivileged children while she spends the holidays in Aspen, renting out the Aspen Recreation Center on Monday.
The kids were able to use the climbing wall, the pool and ice skating rink as well as being entertained by jugglers, magicians and storytellers! Mariah and her husband Nick Cannon eventually showed up in a reindeer-led sleigh with Santa Claus!
Each child got a professional photo taken with Santa, Mariah and Nick that they will be receiving as a keepsake.
Some Aspen locals have said that Mimi has been throwing these types of parties for kids in Aspen for about 10 years now! They aren't usually publicized, but because the Rec Center is a public space some were wondering why it was closed.
The superstar also bought holiday movies for the kids to watch on the bus ride back to Denver.
What an amazing Christmas for the kids!
Good job, Mimoo!

I like Mariah, and all, but I didn't think there WERE any underprivileged kids in Aspen! LOL!
aww thats so sweet. *xmas hugs*, moomoo!
I love her and I always will. She's so wonderful. Why isn't more starz doing things this year. This is the first thing that I'm hearing about.
well she is an amazing woman so that is no surprise… love her
everytime i see them i think of a mother and her son…..not husband and wife……
*
in response to lemonbird - by going off the 3rd line from the bottom it sounds like the kids were from denver, not apsen……..
hmmm….i live near Aspen, and I wouldn't exactly consider the people who live there as underpriveledged.
woohooooooooooooooo
datz my grl….
alwayz
luv=d her♥
This is amazingly nice and non-diva-like. I knew Mariah wasn't as bitchy as people made out.
Child: "Mommy can't I just have my picture with Santa and not this Mrs. Claus with her bobbies hanging out, and the little black elf who follows her, everywhere."

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Can you read phony publicity stunt. This as bad as her fake smile and poses.
A nicer gesture would have been to have it in Denver with the kids, but usung them as a backdrop in this is a shame, just as bad as Obama and his antics…all for the photo op…..yes you can call me skeptical
Wow good for her!!! I wish more celebs would do that….
what a sweetheart!
Oh joy. Am I supposed to like her now or something? No thanks.
Wish you were going to be at dinner tonight! Even thought you're not mwtbwy. Yat all night. 46 bg
Mariah ist Gorgeous
Love her!
Yeah, I hear the homeless population in Aspen is out of control.
Nick Cannon is such an ass clown. Get some dignity.
Nick Cannon is the best thing that ever happened to her!
I thought I misread the part about "underprivileged kids in Aspen." Those must be the ones whose annual household income is under $500,000. Nice of her anyway. I'm sure those kids will love all their new ski gear.

If you really want to make a difference why not quietly contribute to the Salvation Army or Red Cross or some such help organization, or a soup kitchen or food bank, or make a large contribution to a winter coat or toy drive for the truly underprivileged?

I ain't buying it.
awww mariah!!
Are there underprivileged kids in Aspen? What, they have to use the rope tow instead of the lift? Oh the horror of it!
i wonder what "poor" kids in aspen means.
kids who can't afford to go to europe in the summer?
or they have skis for more than one year?
or maybe they are kids of people that are her staff in aspen?
This is a great story! I love Mariah much more lately since she has married Nick. I think she found true love and he brings out the best in her!
SHE BETTER STOP THAT SOON SINCE HER CAREER IS GOING NOWHERE WITH THAT MEMOIRS OF A FLOPPED ANGEL CRAP. JUST SAYIN. AS USUAL THE HANGERS ON NICK CANNON IS THERE. THAT EXCESS BAGGAGE MUST WEIGH ABOUT 160-170 LBS??? I'M SURE THE LUGGAGE HANDLE IS REINFORCED…
Of course there's underprivileged kids in Aspen. They're probably the children of the people that cook, clean, and wipe the asses of the rich celebrities that visit there. It's also pretty lame that people are questioning her motives ("only 35 kids?" "Can't she just donate her money quietly to an organization?" "It's all a publicity stunt"). She's been doing this for 10 years with no publicity dumbasses!
Underprivileged kids in Aspen is an oxymoron! There are no ghettos in Aspen. What a piece of PR bullshit.

Mariah to Release Two Memoirs "Remix" Albums
MariahDailyJournal is able to confirm that Mariah will be releasing two separate Remix albums for Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel early next year.
In addition to the main Remix album which will comprise of R&B/Hip-Hop/Pop remixes, the other will be a Dance album which will all be Jump Smokers remixes of tracks from Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel.
Awww that is sweet but only 35? Was that like the 2nd to lowest package? Packages usually run for groups of about 15 in these types of places. What cheap asses but it's still a nice thing.
HEY FOLKS THE KIDS ARE FROM DENVER NOT ASPEN! SHE PAID FOR THEM TO GO TO ASPEN!
"This is an opportunity they haven't had before," said Jude Liguori-Oliver, child protection services administrator for the city and county of Denver. "Many of these kids haven't been out of Denver. A lot of them haven't been in the mountains."
THE REAL STORY IS ON MARIAHDAILY.COM
My boss's (adopted) daughter was one of the 35 chosen from Denver. It was a memorable day for all the kids. They were told not to be disappointed if Mariah doesn't show up, but she did, along with her husband.
she's 1 fine lady..luv her”
Mariah Owns Most Popular Songs of '90s and '00s
With Mariah Carey's crowning of the decade-end Hot 100 songs list with "We Belong Together," she now owns the most popular songs of the '90s and the '00s, as her duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day," was No. 1 on the '90s-end recap.
"We Belong Together" spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart during the decade, tying the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" for the most weeks atop the list in that span. The Peas' anthem is at No. 5 on the decade-end Hot 100 Songs retrospective, one step below the duo/group of the decade, Nickelback, with "How You Remind Me."
Collectively, the top nine finishers on the Hot 100 Songs recap spent 90 cumulative weeks at No. 1, thanks in part to the one-two punch of "Together" and "Feeling."

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIMES, ALSO HAS A HEART OF GOLD..AND ALSO DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO PUBLICIZE HER CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS….
WE SHOULD ALL GIVE MORE…THERE IS A LOT OF DISENFRANCHISED PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD…
"MERRY CHRISTMAS" MC !!!
you people are so stupid! the kids arent from aspen they are from denver! read the damn article correctly!
"The superstar also bought holiday movies for the kids to watch on the bus ride back to Denver."
Mariah is amazing and they are a beautiful couple
Yeah the poor kids were from Denver. She took them to Aspen so they could see what they would never have in their lives no matter how hard they worked for people like her. That was very nice of her. She could have doubled the number she gave stuff to and kept it in Denver instead of paying to bring them somewhere else. And to whoever said she's been doing this stuff for 10 years without anyone knowing. If she was doing it without anyone knowing you wouldn't know. So there
EVERY community has residents who are struggling financially.
Haven't you people learned anything thing from America's recent home-foreclosures, bankruptcies and job losses?
America's unemployment rate is averaged at 10% ..
That's a lot of people jobless or under-employed.
And it happens in affluent communities too!!!!
Really good for those kids. Nice job, Nick and Mariah.
Especially for 10 years of giving them a party ..
How do they find underprivileged kids in Aspen? They must truck them in.
If you read it correctly it says Denver. She took them to Aspen.Jeez! She helped kids out and all you people says is Oh blah blah and only blah blah blah. She did a nice thing she didn't have to do. And only 35? it could have been 10. it could have been 5. She helped 35. She helped People Period. Why don't you chip in next time and help her do more. Instead of bitching about the number.
Wow. Did she require 20 white puppies, 30 white kittens and 40 white doves (all of which will have to go to the city pound after she is finished with them)?
OMFG … Do you people not know how to bloody read? Kids are from Denver, not Aspen. These morons only read every other words so they can put MC down. Well, wankers, do I have to read it to you slowly words by words? She paid for them to come to Aspen from Denver, with her own money, for the LAST 10 YEARS. Get that? Just because we found out this year it doesn't mean it's publicity stunt. If she wanted a publicity stunt, she would have told us every single years. You moron get that yet through your thick skulls? Blimey, I think health care should not be priority yet. Education should go up and teach these pigs how to read.
I was unaware there WERE underprivileged children in Aspen. Or does this just mean that their parents only make $300,000 a year instead of the usual $700,000?
Im not at Mariah fan but she looks Amazing in that dress.
I hope she dresses more like this instead of her old sleazy hooker clothes.
haha underprivileged kids in ASPEN?
Mariah looks so holiday-ready in that dress
Nice of her to do this. I didn't know she has been doing it for around 10 years, that's sweet.
that is amazing of her to do…and i love that she's been doing it for a decade with no publicity. hmmm i might have to rethink my previous arrogant diva opinion of her now
NO THEY ARE FROM NEW ORLEANS. NOT FROM DENVER, NEW CAROLINA….LOL
Re: SheriMoonFireFly – I like Mariah..And she has been doing this for ten years! Well done MIMI! Hey girlfriend happy holidays SheriMoon!
MUAH!
xoxo,
Sheba
I hate when she gets this fat! I'm whale watching
Re: lemonbird – the article says the children were from Denver.
WAY TO GO MIMI AND NICK. I HOPE THAT NOW THIS HAS GOTTEN OUT TO THE PUBLIC SHE DOESN'T STOP THE PARTIES FOR THE CHILDREN. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CHILDREN HAD A GRAND OLE TIME!
Re: Trailer Trash says … – THE RESIDENTS OF ASPEN MAY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT BUT NOT THE MEDIA. BIG BIG DIFFERENCE.
Good to know Cow does spends her money doing good instead of pigging out.
Oh my God, I love how half you people can't read for shit. The kids were NOT from Aspen - I repeat - NOT FROM ASPEN. They were from Denver, where I'm sure there are underprivileged kids. She just rented out a place in Aspen where the kids could hang out.
And don't give me this shit , buffymybasset, about how it's only 35 kids. She didn't HAVE to do this at all in the first place and what she did was very nice. Instead of reprimanding her for taking some action, why not do so to the celebs who aren't?
