“Good Morning Britain” Won An Award For Worst Las Vegas Shooting Optics
The British already endure enough torture from Good Morning Britain each day with Piers Morgan at the anchor desk (“Ha! Try holding up a mirror when you say that during the 9AM hour of the Today Show,” –everyone in England). But producers just couldn’t help themselves and just had to make it even more cringe-worthy by combining a Mariah Carey Christmas interview with breaking coverage of the horrific Las Vegas attack that happened last night.
During the interview, Mimi lounged in front of a Christmas tree on a white couch like Cleopatra floating down the Nile on a barge. The temps have dipped below 80 for the first time in months, so that naturally means Christmas is coming! People says she Mimi an upcoming Christmas tour in the UK to promote, so she was geared to chat with Twitter’s second worst abuser (don’t act like you don’t know who numero uno is) and some brunette lady in flamingo cosplay.
Unfortunately, the Vegas attaack occurred just before the interview rolled and, rather than ditch Mariah and bring on an expert with MI5, Scotland Yard, the London police…even the security guard working the lobby…they kept Mariah on to give her thoughts.
On the one hand, Mariah did seem shaken into silence over the whole ordeal. Along with professing to be a citizen of the world, dahhhhling, she just wrapped up a two-year residency in July at Caesars Palace in Vegas, so she does admittedly have ties to the city, and she expressed her condolences:
“I pray for the victims and hope all these can stop as soon as possible. You know, I have spent a lot of time in Vegas and this type of thing anywhere happening anywhere is a huge tragedy.”
But the hair flip, the naughty secretary sultry pose on that divan, AND A BLOODY CHRISTMAS TREE IN OCTOBER seemed a little off-tone with the story about theLas Vegas massacre. People naturally went off, and Piers eventually clapped back:
Mariah was booked to do an interview about her UK Christmas tour. Obviously news events in Vegas have now taken precedence. https://t.co/3SxHKPXYen

We told Mariah's people before the interview.
Her reaction seemed very relevant given she's a performer who often has residence in Vegas. https://t.co/6sVMSUMvHK— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 2, 2017
