Mariah Carey is going to be on Larry King tonight. The clips below are probably the best part of the hour. I know I make fun of Mariah Carey frequently and she deserves it, but I also admire her for getting through something that sounds extremely difficult. Her relationship with Tommy Mottola had to be extremely scary. Trapped in a house that she was forbidden to leave. Trying to answer the question of whether she tried to leave if she would still have a career. For all her ditz and diva, it is pretty obvious that she is a very tough person and that experience probably made her even more so. This first clip is her discussing some of what went on while married to Tommy.
In the second clip she confirms that she isn't pregnant and basically buys herself another year of begging off from having kids. At this point I don't think she is going to have them. I don't think she should have them if she doesn't want any, and I really like her answer about why she doesn't think the time is right. I do question whether she and Nick are on the same page about all of this and have also wondered whether some of the pregnancy rumors may have been leaked by Mr. Cannon himself to try and subtly pressure his wife into having kids.
I'm with you, Ent. She's fun to make fun of (enough with the hello kitty!) but I've always wondered what happened with all that Mottola business.
ReplyDeleteThere's still something about her current marriage to Nick that doesn't smell right, but I do hope she's happy.
She's surprisingly articulate. Maybe it's the scotch.
ReplyDeleteI worked w/MC and TM during marriage and believe every word. TM was an absolute terror. Stood over cameras, promising injury to operators if frame included MC's boobs. Seriously!
ReplyDeleteWow my comment disappeared into some weird void.
ReplyDeleteThis is a crock I remember being with them during a huge Sony event for her Birthday at Rye Playland and she was telling him what to do. She even told him to pick up her dogs crap, to which he assigned a gofer to do.
ReplyDeleteAlso I remember the rumor years ago was that she was an escort and Motola was her client she worked over and made him divorce his wife and marry her, That whole Brenda K. Starr story was just a Sony publicity machine stunt.
Well, she's a damn better actress than she's previously portrayed if she's taking the mick and lying.
ReplyDeleteI do like her though, even if I don't love her musical output.
she seems a little depressed to me...you know, not much spark.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard her speak before and was very surprised at the serenity of her demeanor. I expected some over the top ditsy nut job. And please don't make fun of hello kitty. I love that cat.
ReplyDeleteMariah is a rare example of someone who rose to fame young with true talent and has kept a lucrative career going for the long haul without being sucked into the dark sides of fame like too many others do. While I've heard my share of naughty Mariah stories from before and after her marriage to Tommy Mattola, I say good for her. I would've let Derek Jeter stick it wherever he wanted to back when he was young and hot, too - especially after spending the last chunk of my twenties sleeping next to a dude who could be my grandpa.
ReplyDeleteShe totally shame fucked Eminem. LOL
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Larry King LIVE.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt she went through hell with Tommy Mottola. But does she really need someone to dry her off rather than do it herself?
Can't get that out of my head. Ever.
Hi. I have loved mariah, for her voice- not her as a person, since I was 17. Nobody out in the world has a voice like that- NOBODY! Her early music is what I think is the best, her music now is just copy-cat music just like everyone else in the industry. I do not believe that she was an escort and I do believe she was emotionally and verbally abused by her ex husband.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
@ lyz, That's prolly the Xanax talking.
ReplyDeleteI so love "Vision of Love"!
ReplyDeleteI don't think she should have kids if she doesn't want them, but part of me thinks she does.
she looks totally wasted in this interview. i don't blame her, since i believe that tommy mottola absolutely destroyed who she was.
ReplyDeleteshe needs to get rid of the little boy, and find really hapiness. i hope she finds it or rainbow...whatever she calls it.
Michael Jackson: "She has the voice of an angel."
ReplyDeleteHere I've tried to collect all notable tributes and quotes on Mariah Carey from peers: http://www.tributespaid.com/quotes-on/m/mariah-carey
I think she really started riding the crazy train after Luis Miguel dumped her. It's a shame.
ReplyDeleteAll this breathless confessing just to push the 'Precious' movie.
ReplyDeletePASS
Ditto Rhianna on 20/20
to push her new CD.
PASS
I am with Sporky. She lost it when she was dumped by Luis Miguel. I read the rumors of her having an abortion and losing it after wards. The kid was Luis Miguel's. Derek Jeter had nothing good to say about Mariah either. I also do not believe the Tommy Motola stories. He is an old-timer in the business and no one else saw him this way. He left his first wife for Mariah. I think she has an amazing voice, but it is totally self-absorbed. Just look at her videos to see that.
