Where Ya Been Hiding????

Filed under: Mariah Carey

cvrusv1el0808icover_usv1.jpg

Mariah Carey has been missing in action lately!

That we know of, the singer has not been seen in public since an appearance in Tokyo on June 1st.

What gives????

She's got a new album to promote. Mimi should be hustling!

While it seems like the singer has been enjoying (or not) being a newlywed, Carey does grace the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine, and PerezHiton.com has an exclusive preview of the juicy article.

Mimi on….

On her disastrous first marriage to Tommy Mottola:
“When I was unhappy in a place in my life, I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but I didn’t’ have one.”

On her meeting Nick Cannon:
“He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he re-proposed.”

On keeping the relationship a secret:
“We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet. Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick…are you sure?’”

Her sarcastic approach to the media gossip:
“It’s difficult, especially when legitimate press is saying, “They’re having a $4 million wedding.’ Why? What – did we set a budget?’ “It’s gonna be $4 million! It’s going to be really cool! We’re going to give away gold as people leave! We’re going to sprinkle them with gold! It’s going to be very Coming to America! What do they think? Our whole point [in having the unannounced beach wedding] was to do the opposite!”

On her mixed racial heritage:
“It’s such a visual society in which we live that people forget, ‘Oh yeah, her father’s black,’ Carey says. “So, many things will be said in front of me that wouldn’t be said in front of another friend whose complexion might be slightly darker.”

On record labels using her racial heritage to promote her music:
“A friend pointed out that I was marketed by a huge massive conglomerate that did like the ambiguity of my voice lending itself to [making air quotes] ‘soul’ music,” she says. “They liked the fact that the look sort of was, and is, ambiguous.”

On Presidential candidate Barack Obama:
“I can relate a lot to so many of the stories he tells. Clearly I am not the political analyst of the ages, but this is something that hits me on a deeper level than anything I’ve ever experienced growing up.”

On Nick and previous relationships:
“We really do share a similar spiritual outlook on life….Even though people have their own fears about ‘Was I in a relationship before this, was I not in relationship before this,’ to me, I wasn’t in a real relationship; it was more of a friendship and working situation.”

    it's a shame. She has a beautiful body — one that is larger than the one shown on the cover. Why would they have to make her look so skinny. We know — and she knows — that's not this thin. And doesn't need to be!!!! What is going on in this world!!!!!!!!!!!???????

    stupid whore! i hope i never see her picture online again!

  44. 44

    I love when bodies are stretched up and down, and the waist is squeezed side to side, by photoshop experts for a magazine cover.
    Odd that they played her boobs down though. I guess they make her look chunky. Not girly-girlish like they've depicted her in this photo. (Marketing demographic is much much younger/slimmer than Mariah. Emphasis on younger and slimmer. And taller.)
    I'm considering having a glamour shot done, too.

    well i never pay attention to her because she is boring so i didnt know shes been "missing" but i sure havent missed her haha

    I agree with Wendy 1,000 %. It TOTALLY looks like they cut her head off and pasted it on some skinny person's body. That is not your real body, those are not your real hips, your arm has more meat on it that this picture, your thighs are way bigger than what is pictured here, which is crazy because didn't she just lose some weight recently which I was really proud of her even though I hate her music and didn't like her at all always saying darling and sounding so stupid when she says to people DAHLING, you're no Liz Taylor sweetie, why the need to photoshop so much???!! Make the editors STOP this nonsense, you are encouraging young girls to have eating disorders.

    Nick Cannon is not attractive. It's all a front. Mariah and Dabratt are lovers and Nick is being paid to be the beard.

    can any one else see how much retouching has gone on in this photo.
    mariah is a curvy girl, slim but not thin likes she looks in that photo! and what the hell have they done to her legs?

  64. LucyR says – reply to this

    She sounds very stupid. She reminds me of Geri Halliwell - in that she's, essentially, a not very well educated person that's desperate to sound intellectual and used lots of big words - usually out of context.

    What's this obessesion with being kidnapped as well? She mentions it twice in the interview and it's been the theme in at least two of her videos.

    I keep hearing how successful she is, how she's sold a zillion records etc but I honestly could not name a single one of her hits. She's very lightweight and forgettable.

    Why are all the young sissies so scared of Mariah? Is it because Mariah can sell records to straight people and Madonna can't?

    I see they've photo shopped another twenty pounds off her frame. They forgot to center her waylaid chin, which looks to be an inch or two off to our right.

    Umm… Her father IS NOT Black he's Hispanic and her voice comes from her mother's side who is IRISH…….. Her mom is a pro Opera Singer. She and her people love to make it seem as if she's "black" when she is NOOOOT LOL it's all for record sales

    I find it hilarious that Madonna's fans are calling Mariah an old fucking bitch…..i respect Madonna because she is a legend and has been in the industry for a long time but you Madonna fans seems to be a bit jealous that Mimi's more successful at the moment
