OlderMariah Carey - “Elle” August 2008
Mariah Carey talks about her new body, new record and hot new man in the August 2008 issue of Elle magazine. Here are some of the key points Mariah drove home:
On her unhappy past: “When I was in an unhappy place in my life, I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but didn’t have one.”
On Nick Cannon saving her: “He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he re-proposed. (His first proposal had taken place on Mariah’s roof in Manhattan a couple of evenings prior and involved the hiding of a 17-carat diamond ring inside a candy ring pop.) They’ve been calling me Cinderella since I first started out, so, of course, being Cinderella… Most people would think, Okay, please! This doesn’t happen in real life.”
On keeping her and Nicks’ romantic involvement on the down low: “We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet. Therefore, we didn’t really ‘date,’ you know what I mean? Because that would have been not quiet or private. I think we didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick… are you sure?”
On her racial ambiguity naturally attracting her to Barack Obama as a presidential candidate: “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… I would be honored if he wanted me to be involved in any way. Right now I’m kind of watching from the sidelines.”

First!
That is one ugly cover…and I actually like Mariah and her music.
Holy, photoshop, batman! That is NOT her natural waist. Talk about a blatant lie. And they wonder why girls in this country have body image issues?
Her head and body pose don’t seem to match.
Hidden in a candy ring? Now, that is soooooo Mariah. maybe she really found her true match after all. Best wishes to the happy couple!
i love Mariah but that is not a very nice picture of her…
photoshop….
this girl is delusional…anyone knows, who is married, things get REAL…with money and without. Get out of your fairytail girlfriend, Cinderella, you aint!!!!! the honeymoon stage only last for a while, and with the clout that she has, they have plenty of challenges ahead of them
Her music can be uplifting thats what I like about it. She has a strong personality. Good Luck to Her in whatever she does. I will drink Pinot Grigio and sing her no.1s album.
she is nasty!!!!!!!!
God photoshop
The head is wrong, and the body is so not her
Awful cover!
I wish her happiness. :)
lol @ the fact that she thinks she’s cinderella
she’s totally out of her mind
hot new man?!? puhleaze.. nick cannon looks like a little boy standing next to her
why????
fire the person who did the cover!!
worst job ever
looks like they put her head on someelses body
PHOTO-SHOP
THIS IS WHY GIRLS HAVE EATING DISORDER

whats up with magazine’s overdoing the photoshopping? that looks nothing like mariah especially the body which looks like it belongs to someone else
And the photoshop award goes to…
What is up with all these freaky looking magazine covers lately? The kids in the computer lab have either lost their minds or are trying to get back at their employers for something. Sad.
The only good thing I can say about Miss Mariah is that getting married seems to have made her smarter, but only a little.
What is with the “racial ambiguity”? I knew she was black when I first saw her. Same with Obama. She’s had plastic surgery to “whiten” her features more and is starting to morph from the black Kathy Lee Gifford to a Jackson! Half-breeds are never happy with having ANY black in them at all! If they could have it extracted from their DNA, they would!
1st to all the haters I got news for you:Everybody male & female gets photo shopped not just Mariah!!!!!! I’ve seen Mariah in person & I have news for all you haters she actually looks better in person then in the magazines. I would like everyone that says shes ugly to post pictures of themselves on here & lets see who’s really ugly. I love the pic of her & Nick that they didn’t post on here. I hope for the best for them.
As for the Cinderella reference people have said since day 1 that she had a Cinderella type story I’m pretty sure she was half joking.
they had the scan of the article at http://www.celebrityupsanddowns.com if you want to read it.
Ummm…why is she trying to take off her head?
mariah needs to sit down she getting old and photoshopped to the MAX
ITS SO FAKE
PHOTOSHOP
I HATE WHORIAH
SHES AN OLD COW
THEY SHRUNK HER IMMENSELY!!!
EWWW looking like hooker as usual and a tacky one at that.
Haters, take a deep breath!!! No reason at all to hate, period.
Loads of blessings to Nick and Mariah!
That is not Mariah’s body. Mimi’s retoucher strikes again!
I have made fun of Mariah in the past, but now it’s not so funny anymore. She was really hurting and it’s not good to bash people when they are already down.
I luv her music. I luv her new CD. It’s really incrediblly good. That’s all that matters. Oh, and I hope she will be very happy with Nick Cannon too.
I love her.
Haters please leave her alone and I’m sure that you will never get better than Mariah, so don’t jealoussss ya!!!!
I don’t know how many of you *really* work in publishing but I do and I know photoshop. Of course the picture is photoshopped, they ALL are because if they weren’t, people wouldn’t buy. You all included come here to look for perfection. Even Angelina gets airbrushed and believe me, I love her too. To clear this **** up, it IS Mariah’s body, her face isn’t stuck on someone else’s. The body is most likely made thinner but it isn’t a head stuck on someone else. and OH MY GOD get over the hate.
“the more you curse me, the more you’re blessing me…”
Lambs 4 life ;-)
wow… that is one good FAKED cover
XC
Wishing the very best for you.
MARIAH is an UGLY *****! She doesn’t even look hot. EWW!
Come on, have you seen the new photos of MC from TRL??? She has THIS body!! Nowadays, she is really in great shape. So many haters here and that’s PATHETIC people.
