Mariah Carey doesn't believe in time and that includes her birthday
The superstar songstress recently spoke with UK radio station Capital FM and said she doesn't really acknowledge the passage of time. The show's co-hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby asked Carey to clarify what she meant.
'I just don't believe in it,' she said.
Stark asked if she meant time zones and Carey clarified, 'No, just time.'
That inspired a question from Welby.
'So no clocks?' he asked. 'Just not into that?'
'Yeah,' Carey replied. 'No, just let it go.'
Carey has let go clocks, apparently, as well as the concept of marking her birthday.
'I don't have a birthday, no,' she said. 'Anniversaries, yes.'
For those of us on Mariah time, Carey has celebrated 56 anniversaries of rotating around the sun.
So while calendars are ok for certain dates, without daily time markers in Carey's world, Stark wondered how she handles meetings and appointments with others.
'I would have someone call you and figure it out,' Carey said.
To quote one of her songs, it's like that.

Nandy demands ‘accountability at highest levels' after Bob Vylan broadcast
Ministers expect 'accountability at the highest levels' for the BBC's decision to screen Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, the Culture Secretary has said. Lisa Nandy told the Commons she has heard from the BBC but was 'not satisfied with the response'. Punk duo Bob Vylan led chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their Worthy Farm set last weekend, and face an investigation by Avon and Somerset Police. London's Metropolitan Police is also investigating the two Bobs – who perform using the aliases Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan – for allegedly making similar comments at Alexandra Palace in May. Conservative shadow culture secretary Stuart Andrew told the Commons: 'Given the BBC are seemingly able to pull live broadcasts when things go wrong at football matches, for example, it's extraordinary that this didn't happen on this occasion. 'Can the Secretary of State update the House on the discussions she's had with the BBC, and why the same thing didn't happen on this occasion? 'What due diligence was carried out by them about the acts that were performing? 'And given as she's said we're still waiting for a response to the previous Hamas documentary, is she satisfied with those conversations she's had and the urgency that the organisation are taking?' Ms Nandy replied: 'No, the answer is that I'm not satisfied with the response that I've had.' The Culture Secretary previously made a ministerial statement in the Commons on Monday, when she said 'it should have been foreseeable that there would be problems with broadcasts'. She told MPs then that she wanted 'rapid action to make sure this cannot happen again'. In Thursday's update, Ms Nandy told MPs: 'I have received a reply to the very many questions that were raised by colleagues on all sides. 'I'm not satisfied with that, and I have gone back to the BBC leadership to ask for further information, in particular, as he mentioned, about the failure to pull the live feed, about the due diligence that was done prior to deciding to screen this act, and also about the level of senior oversight that took place in the BBC during the Glastonbury weekend. 'I think the BBC leadership will hear and have heard the strength of feeling in this House about this, and I expect further answers to be forthcoming imminently.' The corporation removed the documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone from its online iPlayer platform in February after it emerged its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. In a follow-up question, Mr Andrew said: 'I'm as disappointed as she is that they haven't been able to come back with even basic facts. 'There were hundreds of BBC staff there and not being able to identify who ultimately had the final decision on whether to broadcast or not is not acceptable, and I think the chairman (Samir Shah) needs to inform her as a matter of urgency who that was and what action they are going to take. 'While I absolutely understand the independence of the BBC, just as artists can't hide behind artistic expression for vile commentary, neither can the BBC hide behind independence for accountability, and I hope she knows she has the full support of this side of the House as she pushes them for clarity.' Ms Nandy said she was 'grateful' that Mr Andrew had made 'the very important distinction between independence and accountability'. She continued: 'Given the seriousness of what happened – and particularly we heard in the House and I was able to bring to the House the absolute shocking stories of the impact that this has had on the Jewish community in this country – given the seriousness of this, I would expect there to be accountability at the highest levels.'

On the Podcast: 'He Really Changed the Way People Dressed'—Vogue Editors Look Back at Demna's Legacy at Balenciaga
On Wednesday, July 9, Demna will present his final couture collection at Balenciaga. For all the debuts fashion is currently anticipating, this, too, is a much awaited show; it's a rare thing to get to witness a designer knowingly put a bow around a creative tenure. Joining Nicole Phelps on this episode of The Run-Through are Sarah Mower, Vogue's chief fashion critic, and Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor at Vogue Runway. Together, they look at Demna's tenure at the French brand, and discuss what it says about the last decade in fashion, as well as the culture at large. When he was appointed in 2015, Demna was the designer of the semi-anonymous collective Vetements and not yet well known. He was an unexpected and exciting choice. 'You could feel the anticipation in your every fiber,' recalled Mower of the designer's Balenciaga debut. 'There was no production value. It was clean. It built up to the Helly Hansen red puffer jacket, cut off-the shoulder with this incredible ski turtleneck encrusted with crystals… that's when you got that jolt of electricity, and you could just feel that he really nailed it.' Two looks from Demna's debut collection for Balenciaga. Photo: Monica Feudi / The famous red puffer jacket. Photo: Monica Feudi / Ten years later that puffer is still Demna's favorite piece. As he told Mower a few weeks ago in an interview ahead of the opening of the 'Balenciaga by Demna' exhibition on view in Paris, 'when I came to Balenciaga, I went through all this Cristobal imagery, and he did this really amazing thing with the back of the woman's neck. He found it was so much more elegant to look at the necklace from the back than from the front. So all the necks were dropped. That's what I did here, but I never wanted to be an impersonator of Cristobal Balenciaga. I wanted it to be on a non-conventional garment for this type of elegance. That was also how I wore my outerwear. So it was a perfect fusion.' Beyond his mastery of the high/low, his experiments with pop culture (remember The Simpsons show?), and the 'immersive runway experiences' that revealed his concerns about climate change and other social and political issues, the fact remains that Demna is one of the best designers of his generation. 'He really did have a big effect on the way people dressed; reflecting or amplifying what was going on the street—literally magnifying it so much that it became hugely outsized,' said Mower. Listen to the episode below.

Ozzy Osbourne makes emotional statement ahead of Black Sabbath farewell show
Ozzy Osbourne has said his farewell show in Birmingham with Black Sabbath 'means everything' to him, as he views the massive Villa Park gig as his 'final encore'. The Prince of Darkness will say goodbye to his fans with the original Black Sabbath lineup on Saturday (5 July). The band will be joined by a number of other heavy metal legends, including Metallica, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, and Tom Morello. In a Q&A with communications agency Premier Comms, Osbourne, 76, said the show, titled Back to the Beginning, was a chance to 'say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me'. 'I couldn't have done my final show anywhere else,' he said of playing the gig in his hometown of Birmingham. 'I had to go back to the beginning.' Osbourne also said that he was surprised by how many people had contacted him about livestreaming the concert, which had not been in the original plan. 'It seemed a great chance for people who didn't have the opportunity to get a ticket to be able to see the show,' he said. The livestream of Back to the Beginning will be delayed by two hours from the in-arena start time, and will begin at 3pm BST. The stream will open 30 minutes prior to launching. Tickets are available to purchase here. Playing at Villa Park is particularly significant for him, Osbourne said, as he used to go to the venue with his friends on Saturdays when a football match was being hosted and ask people 'for a shilling to watch their car'. Asked about what the formidable lineup meant to him, the musician remarked: 'It means everything, I am forever in their debt for showing up for me and the fans. I can't quite put it into words, but I feel very emotional and blessed.' He concluded: 'It's a goodbye as far as my live performances go, and what a way to go out.' Speaking to The Independent this week, Alice in Chains' bassist Mike Inez spoke of how hearing Black Sabbath for the first time 'changed his life', as he recalled auditioning to be in Osbourne's solo band. 'It was all surreal to me,' he said. 'I remember showing up – I was wearing a ratty LA Kings hockey jersey and jeans, and everyone else in there was in leather. So in my head I was thinking, 'OK, I'm never getting this f***ing gig, so I'm just gonna have a good time with it, and be able to say I got to play 'Crazy Train' with Ozzy one time.' 'Little did I know I was going to get it, and then my whole life trajectory was going to change.' Metallica's Rob Trujillo added: 'I'm so excited to be part of this, to be able to show my love and respect for Black Sabbath, because it's safe to say a lot of us wouldn't be playing the music that we play if it wasn't for that band. 'To be sharing this stage with Ozzy, thinking back to the days when I played backyard parties and barbecues, and to still be friends with them, it's a blessing. This is a huge, historical, monumental experience that we're going to have on this day in Birmingham.' Read the full feature here.
