Mariah holds back due to world events
Mariah Carey says she didn't go to Japan and Australia after all, "due to world events". We were told in good faith she'd gone; we are happy to say she hasn't. Mariah expresses amazement that "people are so interested in the details of my daily life [fabricated or not]." Well, let's see - perhaps they are interested after you have a kind of nervous exhaustion breakdown in public on the eve of opening a movie and kicking off a record tour and you end up in the hospital - twice. And after you cancel a big sit-down with Barbara Walters. Also, they could be interested simply because you have rather relentless publicity designed to make people interested. Mariah says, "I took a break just like anybody else and now I'm back to work. But really, how much can somebody sleep? I'm not Rip Van Winkle." OK, I believe we said she was eager, perhaps too eager, to go back to work.
Mariah: "Virgin Records couldn't be more supportive, and I'm very grateful to have them in my corner. If anyone says otherwise, they're lying." Maybe Mariah didn't read us very carefully. We said Virgin Records was supportive, even though cancellations cost them money. We also said they wished she'd take a rest. If they don't wish she'd take a rest for her own good, Virgin should give us a statement to that effect. (New York Post)
