Mariah Carey, her lovebone, and the music mountain
I talked to Mariah Carey when I was in Italy awhile back on the Isle of Capri. She was there recording in a studio up on a mountain that had no road. She had to walk up this mountain that had no road. She had to walk 30 minutes before reaching the top. Needless to say, girlfriend didn't leave the studio everyday. In fact, it had a little seedy apartment attached to it that was very "less than lovely." This was the second time Mariah recorded on the Isle of Capri, so she brought some pillows, curtains, rugs and other soft pretty things to make it more comfy.
Mariah also told me her love, Luis Miguel who has about seven villas all over the world, has a gorgeous villa in Acapulco. That's where he invited DaBrat and about 99 other people to come down to celebrate New Year's Eve with him and Mariah. That's when folks saw his yacht named after one of Mariah's songs, "Hero." That's when folks also saw the 45 minute fireworks display he'd arranged that said something like "MC I love you, LM." His love note was spelled out with sparklers and colors in the warm Mexican sky.
Mariah said she was always bitching to Luis that he didn't have a hot tub in his Acapulco villa. Bitch, bitch, bitch. She said, "Jamie how terrible was I? Here this man's got this gorgeous home and I'm complaining about his not having a hot tub." I told him, "Come on, how complicated can it be? You just dig a hole and pour some water in."
So, she said the next time she came, boyfriend had created a beautiful grotto where there were sofas in one room, where water poured down and out of that room into a waterfall into the hot tub and there were sparkles overhead in the cave. It was awesome.
Now Mariah, if I didn't describe it exactly, forgive me. I wasn't writing it all down and I had a couple of slips of wine. That's all it takes to un-sober my wussy behind.
Congrats to Michael Richardson, who is Mariah's road manager, and his wife. They were celebrating their wedding on the Isle of Capri. (Sister 2 Sister)
