Mariah Carey Just Has Too Much Money And Not Enough Brains.
Â
Okay…I’ve let this go long enough. I was going to write about this the other day, but I just couldn’t believe it was real. Surely someone was exaggerating. But no…it does appear that this story is true.
Mariah Carey is a self-important beeyatch with no brains and lots of money.
I could post a pic and end the article right there and go away happy, but I think I’ll expand a bit on that thought. I mean, this is already general knowledge, right? And I am not here to post stuff that is general knowledge.
Mariah gave an interview in Glamour in which she states, among other things, that she doesn’t know how many bathrooms she has in her 12,000 square-foot triplex in NYC’s Tribeca district:
“I don’t………”
WAIT a minute. Stop the quote. I think my eyeballs just had a hemorrhage. 12,000 square feet? She lives in a triplex that has a square footage of 12,000 square feet? WTF? It’s HER. No kids, no husband, HER. Maybe some pets. But I’m positive we aren’t talking about elephants here. Or maybe we could be…it IS Mimi, after all.
“I don’t know! Do you really want me to try and think about it?†she says in the new issue of Glamour magazine.
The 37-year-old singer has an entire bathroom dedicated to Hello Kitty. “I’ve liked Hello Kitty since I was little,†she says.
She has a 3,000-square-foot closet and a separate closet just for lingerie.
WAIT.
Let’s stop again. 3,000 square-foot closet. A CLOSET. You know what a closet is, right? You hang clothes in it, you keep your shoes in it, you hide Christmas presents in it, you stuff junk in there when you see company coming up the driveway and you don’t have time to clean. That closet is bigger than my ENTIRE HOUSE. I’m sitting here looking at my house and trying to imagine it as a closet, and thinking just how many items of clothing and shoeage that would be needed to fill it up. Even if you factor in things like luggage and a few boxes of odds and ends and purses and winter coat storage, that is a buttload of stuff to fill up a closet that big. For ONE person. She could move a poor immigrant family in there and they’d think they just hit the lottery.
Now, I know some of you Mariah-apologists are going to argue that she needs a closet that big (wait, don’t forget, that is just for clothes, the lingerie takes up another one, although the article doesn’t say what size that one is) because she is a “STAR” (oh, for glitter text about now….no pun intended), and she has a lot of gowns and shoes and such for concerts, and she goes to things like premieres and galas and events and whatever it is that she does in whatever genre of music it is that she supposedly sings. And my response to that is….HER CLOSET IS BIGGER THAN MY HOUSE. There’s no amount of clothing that is needed that should need to be stored in a room that is bigger than a house. (And just for the record, I live in a 2,000 square-foot house, so we aren’t talking about a single-wide trailer here, not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Can I take more? I’ve got the Pepto ready.
“Mariah at 12 was a wreck. I accidentally dyed my hair orange. I shaved my eyebrows. Wore blue eyeliner. Disgusting!â€Â [eyeliner, at 12? explains a lot]
“Wouldn’t it be really hot if I could just blink and change my outfit right now? How amazing would that be?â€Â [every time you blink, it's a whole new world, isn't it?]
“I wouldn’t want to speak to [Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears] specifically, but I would say you need to be very centered, and spiritually know where you’re at, all the time. Don’t read the tabloids. Don’t be obsessed with what people are writing or saying. Live your life for you. My lifestyle has changed since making it. It’s not a financial struggle, but I’m still struggling in a lot of ways.â€Â [yeah, Lindsay would give you a beatdown and Brit would throw tacos at you while gibbering in Britspeak]
“I don’t feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically.” [okay, I'll give her that one]
“I watch stuff I’m working on. Instead of sitting in a boring regular room, I’d rather be on the roof in the hot bath writing my notes.” [apparently she owns a crapload of flat-screen TV sets and it appears one is on the roof, where her hot tub is]
Okay, I have to stop now, that breakfast burrito isn’t sitting too well after all that last one.
So basically what we have here is this…Mariah Carey lives the sort of life that very, very few of us can ever imagine. Is she entitled to it? Maybe “entitled” isn’t the right word…but it does seem to be a bit excessive to have so many bathrooms that you don’t even know how many you have (I have two), a closet bigger than most houses (yeah, I am stuck on that, so bite me), and so many amenities that she could put Best Buy out of business.
Sure, she’s made millions of dollars, and I guess she can do what she wants to with those millions of dollars. If she wants to have a 12,000 square foot triplex, I guess she can. I am not even that weirded out about the Hello Kitty bathroom…trust me, I’ve seen worse things in the bathrooms of elderly ladies who think that little crocheted doll toilet paper covers are still in vogue. And we all have our eccentricities. I, personally, won’t eat or drink after anyone, for example.
But I have a feeling that Mariah, divorced and childless, knows that money can’t buy her what she really needs. It seems that all this extravagance has gone to her head (as evidenced in her bathroom follies of a couple weeks ago…I’ll have to write about that one too), she’s trying to fill up a spot that is empty in her life, and she has become out of touch with reality. You know, there are Katrina victims who are still living in government trailers in New Orleans. In Mimi’s own New York City, there are people living in slums and tenements who could use some help. Instead of buying yet another gown that she’ll wear just once for that closet that is bigger than my house (OKAY, that’s the last I’ll mention it), why not donate that money to helping people who truly need it?
In fact, I’m issuing a challenge right now, to all of us peons who don’t live in Mimi’s World….instead of buying her newest CD that she is working on (or any of them, for that matter), or buying tickets to one of her shows, why not take that money and donate it to your local food bank, or homeless shelter, or center for abused and battered women and children, or VA center? Do something good and useful with your money. It would go a lot further and do a lot more good than to give it to this narcissistic, self-important, inflated-ego, out-of-touch-with-reality diva. Mimi doesn’t need another Hello Kitty pretty for her themed bathroom or another sparkly, overpriced gown to wear (I bet you thought I was going to mention that closet that is bigger than my house again, didn’tcha?), but someone in your community does need your help. Do it in the name of all that is decent and normal in the world.
I wonder if Mimi ever thinks about those images she sees on her flat-screen televisions. Oh no, wait, they’re not real.

Oh, you’d be amazed at the Hello Kitty crap that they come up with…

Lol
what a jealous prick you are.
Shes worked hard to be where she is at, and if shes got the dosh to splash out – then so be it.
And how you imply that Mariah Carey is thick is beyond me. Shes a clever woman she is.

Yeah, she’s real clever. A regular Mensa ring wearer that Mariah.

First of all, I’m not a prick, I’m a twat. Remember it for next time.
And you’re probably correct. She has every right in the world to buy a humungous house to wander around in all alone, and fill it with every possible toy and play pretty her money can buy. After all, she’s got to have something to fill up the empty days and nights in her life. I’m sure that by sitting in her Hello Kitty bathroom, she’s fulfilled as a woman.
She needs a house that size to hold her incredibly large ego, anyway. It wouldn’t fit anywhere else.

OMG, i cant believe i just read this crap, sorry.
Is it just me or are someone jalous? Ok i agree maybe she dont need that bigger space, or all that shoes, but really who r you to judge. According to me, she deserve it, and she’s living the lifestyle she choses. And if she chose to life that way, what the hack leave her alone.
And please in the future, please to your reseach proper, cause if if did you would knew how much she’s give back to the community, all the charrity she’s involved in etc. Why should she gave all her millions way, although she she does give alot away, do you see oprah living in a 1 bedroom house, no she doesnt, although she give and give and give.
I suggest that you get a life, though it would be as nice as mariah’s, and stop wring bout this crap.
One more thing we cant help it if you cant afford to live this way, and why do you live a 2000 square foot house, move out and live in a 100square foot and donate the rest to charity.

What celebrity with similar or greater success doesn’t buy the big house & live the extravagant lifestyle? I certainly would if I could! Good for Mariah!
