This week in petty...brother vs. brother, alleged STDs, O.J., and Mariah Carey doing the least but simultaneously the most. Welcome to the Petty Party, which is like the Skimm but with nothing of substance you could use to sound smart in front of your colleagues. (Plenty of water-cooler fodder, though.)
When Aaron Carter Subtweeted His Brother (Nick) but Not Really on Twitter
After his arrest (opens in new tab) for DUI and drug possession, Aaron Carter released a statement in which he referred to himself in the third person and dragged his brother Nick for failing to reach out.

When Mariah Carey Was You at Any Group Fitness Class
Definitely did not turn up the resistance. Definitely did not squat down far enough. But the difference is she got paid, while you *lost* money trying to dodge the cancellation fee but not actually trying hard enough for the exercise to make a difference.
