Gwen Stefani became a famous and accomplished artist in her own right. But even after her huge success, she still had aspirations of becoming another popular singer in one specific way.
Why Gwen Stefani was inspired by Mariah Carey Mariah Carey | Momodu Mansaray/WireImage
Carey has a long list of popular songs and records to her name. But perhaps one of Carey’s most famous songs is “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The record came out in 1994, and has been a staple in pop culture ever since. The Holiday themed song originally came about after Carey asked herself a simple question.
“I was working on it by myself … on this little Casio keyboard and writing down words and thinking about, ‘What do I think of at Christmas? What do I love? What do I want? What do I dream of?’ And that’s what started it,” Carey once told ABC.

A lot can happen in 146 days. When the Writers Guild strike started in May, Drew Barrymore was one of its early folk heroes, when she stepped down as host of the MTV Movie & TV Awards in solidarity. But four months later, Barrymore became one of the strike’s most reviled public figures when she tried to rationalize the decision to bring back her daytime talk show in the midst of a work stoppage. There were many winners and losers to come out of this hot labor summer, and it’s not over yet, as SAG-AFTRA looks to seal its own deal with the AMPTP. But as the WGA prepares to vote on its hard-fought new contract, here are some of the entities that made it to the other side on the rise — or a bit imperiled.
