Mariah Carey Just Has Too Much Money And Not Enough Brains. - Page 2
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."Â [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?
