Mariah Carey and her 12-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, are in on the joke about them being over Carey’s hit record, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
In the video, Carey wrote, “Braved the cold and put my own spin on the trend!” as her children sighed in annoyance about the classic holiday tune. “Mom, please. We don’t want to do this every time,” they said begrudgingly before the 54-year-old broke out into song saying “[she’s] just being festive.” Sneakily, the children ease out of frame as she sings the openings lyrics to “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
“Had to do it! Merry Christmas Eve!!,” said the Queen of Christmas in the Instagram caption.
Friends of the singer joined in on the joke in the comments of the post. Elaine Welteroth wrote, “Let an icon be an icon on her day!” as Muni Long dubbed Carey a “Comedic Queen.” Meanwhile, fans chimed in with one writing, “They living off this song for GENERATIONS. They can participate in the promotional videos!”
The adorable skit comes as “All I Want For Christmas Is You” breaks a new Spotify record and reclaims its No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200 charts. Carey is now the first artist with three No. 1s to spend 14 weeks on the Hot 100, according to Billboard.
“I can’t thank you enough for making this Christmas (and honestly, this entire season!) so celebratory for me,” Carey expressed of the feats. “Even though it is December 26, Christmas never ends for me (ha ha!) and I will keep sharing some of our festive moments from the past week with you!” She and the twins are currently sharing snippets from their annual Aspen vacation following the conclusion of her Merry Christmas One And All! tour.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
