Mariah Carey fires longtime creative director after NYE disaster

Mariah Carey axed her longtime creative director and choreographer following the diva’s train-wreck New Year’s Eve performance in Times Square, according to a report Tuesday. Anthony Burrell appears to be the first scapegoat from Team Mariah over Saturday night’s debacle, when Carey took the “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” stage and inexplicably failed to sing, “Entertainment Tonight” reported. “He’s not being brought back [in 2017] for a number of reasons,” a source close to Carey claimed. The source told “ET” Burrell’s termination is rooted in his decision to move Carey’s backup singers off stage to make more room for dancers.

Justin Bieber abandons his sick puppy

Justin Bieber should never be allowed near animals again. This time, the short-attention-stricken singer appears to have palmed off his sick dog on a friend, who’s now trying to scrounge up $8,000 for a lifesaving operation for the puppy. In August last year, Bieber proudly introduced his “new little fluff ball Todd” to his fans on Instagram. Later he posted a video of the preternaturally fluffy animal, wondering adoringly, “How are you real?” However, the infatuation has passed. It seems that Bieber — who famously adopted and then dismissed a monkey, a hamster and a snake — has given the dog to one of his dancers, C.J. Salvador. It gets worse for Todd. Salvador has created a GoFundMe page for the luckless mutt, explaining that the pooch “is a 7-month-old chow chow born with a birth defect called ‘sever hip dysplacia.’ Long story short, by the time he turns 1, he won’t be able to walk, run, let alone play.”

Margot Robbie’s mastered the spin for her upcoming role as Tonya Harding, but she’s got a long way to go before she can stick a triple Salchow. Robbie hit the ice Tuesday at Pickwick Ice in Burbank — the same place Alan Thicke had his fatal heart attack. The movie, called “I, Tonya,” dramatizes one of the biggest sporting scandals in history. As you know, Tonya’s ex-husband hired a hitman to club rival Nancy Kerrigan in the leg before the ’94 Olympics. We’ll give Robbie a 9.7. Doubt the Russian judges would be as generous.

Just when I turned around, one of them said ‘that white boy.’” Bice said he was taken aback by the encounter. “If tables had been turned and I used something as insensitive like that … I would be boycotted, people wouldn’t buy my albums.”
