In today’s strange sparring news, two divas are fighting over the holidays. And by that we mean they’re fighting over the holidays!
Mariah Carey is pop culture’s reigning Queen of Christmas, annually getting back in the charts with her all-timer All I Want For Christmas Is You. But this year she decided to expand her empire, so to speak. On Tuesday, the day after Halloween, she posted this video officially declaring it Christmas season:
Almost two full months before December 25 — and already Christmastime?? Kinda feels like she skipped something, right? Like… all of November? Thanksgiving?? Christmas season used to start in earnest on Black Friday, then Black Friday started at 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, now we’re skipping the whole month??

Well, one person who won’t stand for it is Martha Stewart. The cookbook author visited the Today show on Thursday and took a moment to address Mariah directly over her Thanksgiving erasure, saying:
Wow! They really lit the fuse for daytime TV, didn’t they?
Well, if you thought the originator of “I don’t know her” was going to let that go without a response, you don’t know the Elusive Chanteuse very well! Mariah tweeted back later that evening:
OK, it’s not combative. But it does kind of feel like she’s angling for a little sumpin sumpin with her next comment, as she adds:
OMG, she invoked Snoop Dogg! Ha! That whole “I’ve yet to be invited to your Thanksgiving” is so shrewd we cannot even get over it! Mariah may not just squash this beef, she may end up getting herself an invite to the most exclusive Thanksgiving celebration of all time! We’ll just have to wait and see how Martha responds…

Ho, ho, no! Mariah Carey’s request to trademark “Queen of Christmas” has been denied ahead of the 2022 holiday season.
The Queen of Christmas is back with a two-hour primetime concert special next month.
She’s an author — with a clear goal! Mariah Carey loves the message behind her The Christmas Princess children’s book, but she was against adding page numbers to the finished product.
Mariah Carey says writing "saved" her as she used poetry and music as an escape. The 52-year-old star has penned new children's book 'The Christmas Princess' about a 12-year-old girl called Mariah who is rescued by her music, and she has noted some parallels with her own life. The 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' hitmaker explained while the story is "a fairy tale", there are some similarities.
The songwriter who accused Mariah Carey of ripping off her festive hit ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ from an earlier song he wrote of the same name has voluntarily dismissed his song theft lawsuit.Vince Vance sued Carey in June explaining that he co-wrote a song called ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ back in 1989, a version of which was recorded and released, enjoying “extensive airplay”, in 1993. That was the year before Carey released her album ‘Merry Christmas’ on which her much more famous song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ appears.Carey’s hit, Vance argued, was a derivation of his song, but no permission was ever sought to exploit his work in that way, which means his copyright was infringed.
