Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, a close friend and former classmate of Bounce television executive Ryan Glover, shared words about the bright 11-year-old, who passed away last week after suffering from injuries sustained from a jet ski accident on July 6th.

Carey recently accepted a position as the newest judge on the reality TV talent contest and she released this image as her official “A.I.” picture.
Her right hand kinda looks like she has a cramp and her left hand is just barely grazing her teeny-tiny waist. I’m loving the tangerine color of her dress… but c’mon now… I think Mariah pulled a J-Hud on us with that “digitally enhanced” waistline!
