Mariah Carey and Kenneth The Page: Hottest New Unicorn-Wrangling Couple
Posted by Molly Friedman at 10:58 AM on March 1, 2008
Okay, we have officially forgiven Mariah Carey for Glitter, for two reasons. 1) She's such a hardcore 30 Rock fan that she asked Kenneth the Page to co-star in her new music video, and 2) Mimz is lookin' fine these days. Possibly the best she's ever looked. In this video for her new single, "Touch My Body," Kenneth (aka Jack McBrayer) plays a "compunerd" who shows up at Mariah's manse to fix technical issues with her 'puter, but winds up romping around wearing a Middle Ages fighting crown in her fluffy bed playing pillow fight. Our favorite moment? Kenneth's dead-on impression of Mariah's legendary falsetto singing skills in the first 30 seconds. Well that, and the sight of him walking an actual unicorn down a dark alley while wearing a regal robe. Well that, and and a mod scene in which Mimz and Kenny faux-shoot each other with guns. On second thought, scratch all that; every moment is classic.

Mariah looks like she's had a $50 back-alley liposuction job.

And, for your information, Brett Ratner directed the video.

@fembot: Whoa! Crazy Mariah is SO MUCH BETTER than Crazy Paula any day.
@CrankYank: This post is missing the "Hey, Unicorns!" tag and that makes me sad.

Mariah Carey, geek hag. The internet has taken over the world.
And the unicorn just makes me think Lisanti had to have written the teleplay. Perfect post-defamer project, esp. with the Hacky hook-up.

Is the schoolgirl outfit supposed to be a dig at Britney, or am I making the mistake of overthinking a Mariah Carey music video?

Um, any song who uses the word "Youtube" in the chorus is a bit far from classic.

This song is fucking terrible. And, I would have rather seen Tracy Jordan in this video.
"Mariah! I want your privates and my privates to do a high-five!"

RE: Jack McBrayer: you see homage to Kenneth from 30 Rock, I see actor desperate for work during writer's strike.

a manticore and a unicorn would have been awesome. Especially if the manticore had Mariah's face and it sang.

Yeah, I answer my door in my fanciest underwear.
Kenneth the page is dreamy! Also, I think he smelled his finger in one of the shots when she sang "touch my body!"
