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.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is set to return with another solo release.
The 30 year old singer has confirmed that her digital solo EP, Fallen Angel, will arrive on August 28. The project will include three songs, FALLEN ANGEL, HEAVEN and Less Than a Lover.
The announcement was shared through the social media accounts of Odd Atelier, Jennie’s own company, where the new project was described as “A gift from JENNIE, with love”.
Jennie also confirmed that fans will be able to watch the music video for the EP’s title track on the same day the project comes out.
The upcoming release arrives only a few months after BLACKPINK dropped their highly awaited mini album Deadline in February.
The K pop group, made up of Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé, concluded their Deadline world tour on January 26, 2026, with their final show taking place at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.
The group first introduced the project with the lead single JUMP in July 2025. The five track release was later completed with GO, Me and my, Champion, and Fxxxboy.
YG Entertainment previously shared its thoughts on Deadline, saying: “Even amid the intense schedule of a large-scale world tour, the members devoted significant time and effort to perfecting this album. We are confident it is a body of work that encapsulates both the individual musical capabilities of the four members and their synergy as a team. We ask for your continued support as BLACKPINK once again leaves a meaningful mark on the global music industry.”
The four members continued developing their individual careers after BLACKPINK released their 2022 album Born Pink.
Lisa had earlier given fans a glimpse into the group’s plans, revealing that the members had recently returned to the studio to work on music for another album.
Speaking with Variety, she said: “Actually, we were in the studio a few days ago.
"We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the Blinks. We can’t wait to see them."
Each member has also built a strong presence through their solo work.
Rosé released her solo album Rosie, which included her Grammy nominated collaboration with Bruno Mars, APT..
Lisa later unveiled her first full length album, Alter Ego, while also stepping into acting with a role on HBO's The White Lotus, which was filmed in Thailand. Jennie launched her first solo album, Ruby, last year, while Jisoo released her EP Amortage, giving each member another opportunity to showcase her own musical style.
