Mariah Carey Connection

Mariah graces the January issue of the UK’s Pride Magazine, available on newsstands now!

Confessions of a DIVA
Mariah Carey has a lot of stuff going on right now but still found time to talk with Cynthia Lawrence. They talk about Mariah’s performance in “Precious”, how Sidney Poitier told Mariah he didn’t recognize her in the movie, about Mariah’s sense of humor and of course - the diva rumors:

What of the rumours that Mariah demands fresh flowers in each hotel room? “People give me flowers upstairs, but I didn’t say I wanted that!” Oh, and she gets her assistant to pick out the blue M&Ms… “Blue M&Ms? Do they even exist? I don’t really eat chocolate M&Ms. Here comes my diva,” she jokes. “A diva would be like [she waves a manicured hand and taps her nearly empty wine glass], ‘Rachel, wine, I need more wine!’ We all have it in us.” She gets up to refill her glass, offering me a top-up before tottering back to the sofa, legs curled back under her. “I’ll tell you this.” She leans forward as if sharing a secret: “I think that’s sexist. There are a lot of difficult male divas out there, but no one says anything about them. See, I don’t take this shit seriously.” —-
