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.”

    41

    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!!!!!!!!!!!???????

  42. citi says – reply to this


    42

    Who cares about this big, fat, has been, no-talented piece of shit whore

  43. fake says – reply to this


    43

    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.

  45. yes says – reply to this


    45

    mariah is JUST DUMB

  46. Jodi says – reply to this


    46

    Oh good - it's not just me. That photo is SO fake, it's obvious! Her hips are much bigger than that. I can't stand her - she is TOO much of a diva!!

  47. g says – reply to this


    47

    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

  48. Loo N says – reply to this


    48

    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.

  63. rosie says – reply to this


    63

    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


    64

    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.

    WTF is wrong with Whoriah?

    Her second and third single bombed!

  69. KUNT says – reply to this


    69

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

  70. WTF says – reply to this


    70

    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.

  71. Her m says – reply to this


    71

    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

    79

    The cover's overall design is horrible–the photo of MC looks great but the graphic "ELLE" behind her is poorly done–why couldn't they make the L and the E go behind her arms? It looks so awkward and "cut out". I will not be buying this –> MC should complain!!!!!!

  80. Aviva says – reply to this


    80

    please file this under photoshop awardz. she is NOT that skinny.

  81. carri says – reply to this


    81

    is it just me, or is her head at a super awkward angle?
    like they just pasted it on.

    don't get me wrong, it looks great.
    just super fake.

    I call BULLSHIT! .. that biatch got curves she's not that skinny! Its obvious even when she's at her best they still do photoshop.

  87. Midna says – reply to this


    87

    Re: diego – you must be gay, right? Stop comparing both mariah and madonna, I know you are a madonna die hard fan but you have to admit that she always teams up w/ some other celebrity to bring herself up in the charts.. i.e. britney back in '03 and justin timberlake with that stupid tune of 4 minutes.

  88. Reece says – reply to this

    Ummm, I'm a little bit confused: how did Nick "re-propose" to her when they were just meeting for the first time?

    Re: sarah – I love Mariah's music (at least her early stuff), but it is a well known fact that she is one of THE MOST airbrushed celebrities in the business.

  90. Layla says – reply to this

    Re: Caleb – You're right. While Mariah isn't fat, she certainly isn't that thin and straight. Anyone who knows her can tell that this picture is fake. Mariah is much more curvy and big breasted. I wish editors would let people photograph the way they really are.

  91. Marni says – reply to this


    91

    The first thing I said when I saw this picture was geez that sure looks like Mariah and was shocked when I found out it was her!
    Wow what good photo shopping or whatever its called will do.
    I have never seen her look so cute.
    Also why did she marry that boy. He looks like a shoe shine boy. It must be some crazy fantasy she fulfilling to have made her do that. Oh thats right she is wacko. Her music sucks too. They all sound the same!!

    MC does NOT look like that! She's always looks like a fat, bloated thing that's had too much bread. Sorry, but this is airbrushing to an extreme. In your dreams, love!

  99. Micha says – reply to this


    99

    Do not even compare Mariah to Madogga! Mariah actually sells records because she can sing and is not 50 walking around in Granny Knickers. Those who say Madogga is not fake are deluded she is a skinny no talent slut who is over! Mariahs latest album has sold over 1 million abd Granny album has sold shit. Madonna fans are just trying to make it seem like she is still relevant. Before you say Madonna sells more in Europe i dont give a fuck i bet the cds are all sitting in CD shops.

    Re: sarah – Mariah's still fake and plastic. Doesn't matter if your jealous or not.
