I don’t like Mariah Carey. At all. I think she is one of the vainest, most self-centered, and selfish celebrities on this planet. You would think falling out of the limelight and having her career tank for a year would give her back some modesty—but I was wrong and now she’s back with a vengeance.
Just before her new album was released, MTV did a documentary on her—might have been a “True Life” thing or something–and followed her around on her promotional tour. The thing I remember most about this show was that it showed exactly how shallow Mariah Carey is. She’s sitting there, whining and complaining about going on television with a broken nail—making it seem as if she is sacrificing something huge for the benefit of humanity.
Uhh…remember the tsunami that killed a bunch of people and ruined the livelihood of an entire country? Or the battle in Iraq that’s taking lives everyday? Or the homeless? The hungry? The sick?
No…Mariah Carey’s biggest problem is a broken nail.
Then, as she’s getting her face put on before a show on Letterman, she lifts her leg up onto the table and asks her assistant, “What do we call this?” The slave/assistant runs over, points Carey’s thigh out to the camera, and says, “We call this a rarity. No diet or exercise needed.”
Right…no diet or exercise needed, huh? Guess she didn’t notice what lack of diet or exercise also causes:
Might I use a visual?
Mariah Carey’s Christmas album (note: skinny)
Mariah Carey now (note: fat ass)
NO DIET OR EXERCISE EQUALS FAT! FAT! FAT! And don’t tell me you people can’t see it.
Rarity my ass. There is nothing rare about a fat thigh that looks skinny when you put it up on a table.

ROTFL
actually..regarding that picture:
Tuesday, June 28, 2005. Mariah Carey goes to dinner with some friends at Koi in Los Angeles, CA and later on poses with a homeless man in a wheelchair who didn’t want to be photographed. She used him for attention and left without even giving him a handshake or money.
LOL
Give her the benefit of the doubt, Sylvia. Her broken nail was an acute incident, and thus her immediate concern; I don’t think anyone who breaks a nail thinks of the tsunami victims at that particular instant. She’s also in the public limelight and carries an image of being one of the “beautiful people”, so personal aesthetics are paramount. Furthermore, she had cameras following her in the documentary, which may have prompted her to act like the diva she thinks she is (act, as in Glitter). And no, she isn’t fat, only fat compared to yourself.
to fuel your hatred for her, heres an article that shows just how much a bitch she is: http://www.thesuperficial.com/archives/001050.html you should check out that site, if you dont already. they report celebrity news and gossip in a cynical and sarcastic fashion, much like SOMEONE i know.
LOL – It wasn’t my intention to imply that you were shallow, and much of what I said was tongue-in-cheek, anyway. But, just to introduce an alternative POV, why would she agree to (or even promote) a documentary in which she’s acting so self-centered and diva-ish? There are several possible answers and, as someone who hasn’t watched the show but still thinks she’s scrambling to save her career, I propose the following non-malicious hypotheses (to look smart and avoid libel charges ): 1. She agreed to do the documetary because it was “all about her”; 2. She agreed to the show, but wasn’t aware that it would be edited in a way that would make her appear so severely self-centered; 3. She purposefully up-regulated her characteristic behavior because the cameras were around, to make her fans adore her even more (#3 could dovetail with #1).
As for the added pounds, I’ll concede that she gained weight since her breakthrough in 1991 (I can’t account for the slim appearance in the Christmas album cover – she’s all covered up and posing at an angle). However, I know that a lot of girls would go on “crash diets” (i.e. barf a lot) to attain even her current figure. I find it interesting that, while her 2002(?) comeback attempt into the R&B scene failed, she’s now getting air play — make that overplay — with the hip-hop sound. Could her figure have contributed to this? Maybe R&B fans adore the pencil-thin girl with the pretty face and sweet voice, while those who love hip-hop can’t get enough of the ghetto-booty, even at the expense of quality lyrics? Hmmmm….
Peace, homey.
