Got dumped by my friend because she wanted to get back with her ex BF
She's not your friend anymore. Expose ha But yeah, that's the sad reality of friendships. It's not just straight women x gays that act like that, everyone knows one or two cases of women ditching friendships even with other women because of men. It's so weird how they don't see that as a red flag. I'm that kind of person that thinks that love should never replace friendship, but oh well.

Flop-pop girls who were obviously signed to be "the next" someone else...
None of the information that you gave have anything to do with Mariah. Tommy might have used JLo to try to shade Mariah with I'm Real and the other song, but besides that they are nothing alike and neither was Jlo signed to be the next Mariah. By the time I'm Real happened, she already had 3 top 10 singles.

Jessica Simpson was supposed to be the next Mariah meets Britney from Tommy Mottola. Jewel had nothing to do with Britney, she was a folk-pop singer since the 90s, way before Britney. The only thing that could be remotely similar was the switch she did for 0304, but it was more because of the shift of the sound of the era rather than "the next Britney", the album was also compared to Ray of Light from Madonna. It failed and she went back to folk-pop/rock. I just love how everyone and their mother were comparing Ava as the next Gaga, but in her delulu mind she was expecting to people see her as the next Mariah.

Who is the most universally beloved living female public figure?
All these names being said but the thing that put Dolly into the universally beloved situation was not only because of her fame, but the work that she did with the fame and money she had, specially charity. She started her foundation in the 80s, had her theme park during the late 80s that created hundreds of jobs for people from her home county right around the time she was in her 40s, and the rest is history. Obviously this is not a competition, but I wouldn't put Taylor close to this status not only because of her polarizing public persona, but also the fact that she is more of a giver to other foundations than creating her own, apparently. At this point there is nothing stopping her to do more than what she does, considering that she's a billionaire, but we only know how things are in the present and we don't know what the future holds. She could be seen as a beloved public figure in the future, depending how she evolves not only as an artist but as a person. And that's not only about Taylor but a lot of artists out there that could have been doing more with their money than just existing. And yeah, I do think that Dolly's philanthropy is a huge part of her legacy, and it was a way to introduce her to new audiences as the decades went. A lot of kids from the mid 90s and 2000s knows her as the book lady because of her Imagination Library. As for the names that people are saying, it is more related to their body of work and public persona, so Celine is probably the closest to that. After her health struggles, the public saw how vulnerable and a good human she is. Julie Andrews as well.

Tim Curry dead at 80
Another sad passing.... After his stroke back in 2012, he suffered a lot to recover and be able to even talk after his brain surgery and he was also dealing with an aneurysm. He can finally rest in peace. He will forever be a legend.

What was the exact moment you unstanned a former fave?
I wouldn't say unstan but I don't really feel like listening to her ever since around 2018: Britney. The way that her team was just abusing her, the Vegas world tour and get dancing more manic, then the Domination thing/that rehab center. Everything just sounds bittersweet now. Every once in a while I listen to a couple of songs, but just don't feel like listening to a whole album.

The Icon Sessions with Taylor Swift, presented by the Recording Academy
To be fair, people praise Mariah for doing that. (just using this as an example, but you can find many interviews where people are asking her about her usage of words in her music https://www.buzzfeed.com/jaimebabiera/8-english-words-ive-learned-from-mariah-carey). However Mariah uses in a way that fits the melody, where Taylor can fall flat sometimes (at least some stuff that I saw).
