  • We were so excited for Mariah Carey's 43rd birthday yesterday, but apparently Mimi wasn't having quite such a happy birthday. When Kree Harrison and Janelle Arthur tried to wish her a "Happy Birthday" on American Idol, Mariah talked over them and dodged more mention of the "b-word" later when Ryan Seacrest tried to bring it up.
