Being domestically abused is so in these days, so Mariah Carey decided to jump on it, and open up about her ordeal with ex-husband Tommy Mottola on Larry King Live the other day. She said,
Abuse has several categories. Emotionally, mentally, in other ways. I just think you get into a situation and you feel locked in — if your situation is similar to one of the situations I’ve been in, which I won’t harp on. For me, to really get out, it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage but a business thing where the person was in control of my life.
Mariah also revealed that Tommy kept her locked in their mansion for most of their marriage. They separated in 1997 after about four years of marriage. Mariah’s now with Nick Cannon who doesn’t abuse her.
The Mariah Carey/Eminem war just got interesting.
Even though Mariah denied that her latest vid had anything to do with him, Eminem hit back at her by releasing a song called The Warning which included the lyrics:
Enough dirt on you to murder you This is what the f*** I do Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
Mariah’s husband Nick Cannon’s response?
This ain’t checkers. This is chess.
Does Eminem play chess? Stay tuned.
Mariah Carey released the new video for her single Obsessed today - that’s the one that she insists has nothing to do with Eminem.
We like the part where the dude gets hit by a bus. Who knew Mariah had balls?
Mariah Carey took to her Twitter last night to explain away her less-than-stellar performance at Michael Jackson’s memorial service. Apparently, seeing the casket was the thing that did her in. According to Mariah,
Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me.
Caskets can be so distracting.

Mariah Carey, who’s been playing less diva-esque roles lately to show her flexible acting skills, dressed up as a man for her latest video shoot.
The singer’s new single is a direct hit at Eminem, who just can’t seem to leave her alone.
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their first anniversary together with 50 of their closest friends last night at the Palms Casino Resort’s Palms Place.
The couple and their guests noshed on surf and turf, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes before moving the party over to Moon Nightclub where Nick surprised Mariah with a sappy video documenting their first year together. At that point, Mariah broke down in tears, the pair killed a few hundred birds by opening up the roof of the nightclub and releasing 1,000 balloons into the night, and guests toasted the animal murdering couple to a long and happy life together.
The night ended with a very expensive dessert of Duncan Hines yellow cake, and a public pronouncement of love from Nick to his old lady wife, Mariah.
Mariah Carey, who’s currently living with husband Nick Cannon in NYC is making a big move to LA. She has reportedly put in a $125 million offer on the modest Holmby Hills home pictured above.
Apparently the 15-bedroom house sits over 5 acres of land, and features lots of marble, gold, limestone, etc etc…
A source says, “they like the home because there’s so little that needs doing to it”. How do you move into a house that big and not do any work? Well you hire slaves to live in your staff quarters that house at least 10 people, of course.
Mariah Carey’s husband, Nick Cannon is reportedly planning on putting his mad directing skills to work for the video of Mariah’s new song, “My Love”. The shit will supposedly hit the fan this Saturday in L.A., in case anyone wants to go and watch the show.
Page Six is reporting that Mariah Carey arrived at President Barack Obama’s Inauguration the other day, only to find that she would not be standing with the president’s family during the event. Instead, she was assigned to the omg-so-embarassing VIP area with Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and Alicia Keys. Ewww cooties.
A source says that Mariah stormed off angrily, opting to skip the stupid ceremony altogether. We’re guessing she’s in her underground lair now, plotting to get a republican president in the Oval Office in four years.
Mariah Carey has just announced today that her upcoming tour has been canceled. Her costume designers and dancers were all told yesterday to go home, only we don’t think it’s the economy that caused those pink slips.
Pregnant?
Oh no! Mariah Carey was seen leaving a gyno’s office in LA this week, holding something that looked like a sonogram picture. Carey’s people are still denying the rumors.
In case you don’t remember, Carey was on Ellen (video above) recently refusing to drink champagne.
So what do you think? Pregnant? Or just fat?
