No hidden agenda
Tabloid stories are again ruining Mariah Carey's mood. The singer is irked by reports she is so distraught over her split with EMI's Virgin label last week that she's "gone into hiding" at a Palm Springs spa. It's true that Carey was hospitalized last summer after suffering a physical and emotional breakdown, as no one will let her forget. But her rep, Cindi Berger, says the latest stories "are absolutely ridiculous".
For one thing, Carey visited the Enchantment spa, which is in Arizona, not California. What's more, says Berger, "She's there with some friends to have saunas and facials and herbal wraps. She's just there to relax and get pampered." Carey is spending the rest of the week on a Caribbean isle before she heads to Miami to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
P.S. Carey has no fiercer defender than her brother, Morgan. The other night, when actor Jamie Foxx got a laugh at Mariah's expense during Muhammad Ali's 60th-birthday celebration in L.A., Morgan blurted, "That's not funny." Security cooled the two guys down. (New York Daily News)
