Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesMariah Carey took to social media on Monday to rally support for the return of one of her favorite childhood TV shows.
“Please support Carole and Paula! Help bring back @MagicGardenTV!!!” the icon wrote alongside a retweet of the announcement that The Magic Garden has launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance an animated reboot. As of press time, the Indigogo campaign had raised more than $78,000 of its $125,000 goal with five days left to go.
The original children’s TV show, which aired from 1972 to 1984 in the New York City metropolitan area, starred Carole Demas and Paula Janis as they told stories and sang songs, all while perched on giant toadstools on the show’s colorful set. (There may have been some talking to flowers here and there too.)
At the time of its initial airing, The Magic Garden was so popular that it reportedly rivaled syndicated kids’ programming like Sesame Street in the local ratings. During their 12-year run, the duo even scored a Grammy nomination for one of the three albums they released featuring music from the show.
When she’s not busy stumping on Twitter, Mimi has been in full festive mode because, as the Lambs know, it’s time. In recent weeks, the singer has dropped a new holiday single, “Fall in Love at Christmas,” with Kirk Franklin and Khalid; teamed up with McDonald’s for a special holiday-themed menu that launches Dec. 13; and announced her coming Apple TV+ music special, Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues — all while “All I Want for Christmas is You” has begun making its annual trip up the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Kylie Kelce has responded to speculation that she may be expecting another child.
The 34-year-old, who is married to NFL player Jason Kelce, addressed the rumours after followers shared comments beneath photos from her recent trip to Paris.
Speaking on an episode of Not Gonna Lie, she said, "You know what's f***ed up? Commenting on women's bodies. That's it, that's the whole thought. But specifically commenting on the possibility of a pregnancy. I don't know how many times we have to go over this."
Kelce explained that several remarks appeared under her Paris pictures and decided to read some of them aloud. "There were a few of these comments left on the photos from my Paris trip, so I guess people need a reminder." She continued, "'Is it the dress? Or is that a little baby bump?' Oh. Nope, don't worry it gets worse. The next comment said, 'I see a baby bump.' That was confident. ... The next one says, 'She's pregnant????'"
The mother of four quickly dismissed the claims. "I have so many kids that over the last week, I have had three different people forget that I had four kids and thought I had three," she shared. "I have so many kids that one's getting forgotten along the way. ... Stop trying to get me to have more. Stop it."
She made it clear that conversations about expanding her family are "between me, my husband and my motherf***ing uterus." Kelce also spoke openly about the lasting changes to her figure, saying, "It's not necessarily going to go back to the way it was. Even more so, I have organs. And they go in there. ... Am I 100 per cent pre-baby body? No, because that's never happening. And that's OK, because I have made four human beings."
Kylie and Jason Kelce share four daughters: Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 16 months.
