Mariah weight loss

Mariah Carey has lost so much weight she can fit into her high school jeans.

The 'Touch My Body' singer - who has stunned fans after losing a reported 30 lbs - couldn't be happier now she is the same weight as when she was 16.

She said: "My jean size went down to my 10th grade size. I got tired of people telling me, 'You need to lose weight.' That's what inspired me.

"For me, it's not about a number on a scale. It's not about necessarily even a size. It's about feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I feel really great. I feel better than I've ever felt."

Mariah also revealed she found it most difficult to give up her favourite meal, macaroni and cheese. She added to US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey: "It broke my heart. That's the thing that I have difficulty letting go of because that's comfort food. So basically I'm uncomfortable."

Mariah, Madonna Make Billboard Chart History

Two leading ladies, Mariah Carey and Madonna, leapfrog over Elvis Presley in the Billboard charts record book this week.

As expected, Mariah Carey moves past Elvis Presley and into sole possession of second place for most No. 1s in the rock era, as "Touch My Body" soars 15-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to become her 18th chart-topper. With her album "E=MC2" yet to hit retail, Carey might equal the Beatles' record of 20 No. 1s before her set runs its course.

"Body's" blast to No. 1 is fueled by a record-setting debut week digital tally of 286,000 downloads. That sum, good enough for the No. 1 slot on Hot Digital Songs, surpasses the 277,000 downloads labelmate Rihanna opened with in the June 9, 2007, issue with her summer smash "Umbrella."

Presley will also be nudged from his standing as the artist with the most top 10s in the rock era, as Madonna surpasses him with her 37th top 10, "4 Minutes." The track, which features Justin Timberlake, clocks a 68-3 jump. Previous to the establishment of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958, the industry standard chart was the Best Sellers in Stores tally, where Presley scored his first 12 top 10s.

Like Carey's "Touch," Madonna's Hot 100 jump is spurred by stupendous download sales. "4 Minutes" shifts 217,000 in its first week of wide release (it had been available as a Verizon exclusive) to enter Hot Digital Songs at No. 2.

This is the first time since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003 that two titles debut simultaneously on Hot Digital Songs with more than 200,000 downloads each. The week also marks the best single-week digital tally in either artist's career.

Mariah Carey Touch My Body

Touch My Body (Remixes) Cdm. This album will available on April 2008. Touch My Body is the first single that it was released the last February 19 on U.S. Radio. Maria Carey follows, with this single, the tendency to “parody” the real life. You can remember similar songs like “Superstar” from Lupe Fiasco or “Piece of Me” from Britney Spears. Both of them are lyrics lacking of a deep content, but they result very, very funny and become hits quickly. In fact, I laughed a lot, when I listened it for the first time. The specialized critics have divided opinions about this single. Rolling Stone, for instance, gave a rating of 3.5, while Billboard said: “this sensual jam is 100% Mariah, packed with satisfying harmonic layers..”. And I think is true, although the song is funny, Carey looks like quite

Mariah enjoys diva jibes

Mariah Carey last Releases. Mariah Carey loves being called a diva.

The 'Hero' singer - who is renowned for her outrageous demands - says it's a compliment to have that reputation because it means she's successful.

She said: "They throw that word around like it's a friggin' Frisbee!

"I grew up hearing it, because my mother is an opera singer. The actual definition is 'a talented female singer.' Definition two is 'a difficult woman who is successful,' I believe. So I take it as a compliment."

Despite her reputation, Mariah insists she doesn't make enough demands.

The 38-year-old star told Parade magazine: "You know what? I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don't think I'm demanding enough. I think if I were more demanding, I would have felt that I had some sort of power, as opposed to feeling like a pawn, which is something I had to grow out of."

Mariah Carey the cash machine queen

Mariah Carey feels like a 'cash machine with a wig on'.

The 'Touch My Body' singer - whose marriage to Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola ended in divorce in 1998 - finds it hard to judge who is genuine and who just wants to be part of the Mariah circus.

She said: 'You don't know who is here for the glamour, for the gossip factor. You really just want to know that somebody loves you for you. Sometimes you feel like an ATM machine with a wig on it.'

Mariah, 37, also spoke about making peace with her estranged father Alfred Roy before he lost his battle with cancer in 2002.

The singer, who included a song dedicated to her father 'Sunflowers for Alfred Roy' on her 'Charmbracelet' album, added to Parade magazine: 'Before he passed away, he said, 'You were always a star in my eyes.' Which was very meaningful, because to a lot of people, you're really not worth anything unless you're raking in the dough and having number one hits.'"

Mariah Carey does not trust men

Mariah Carey doesn't trust men.

The single 37-year-old singer - whose marriage to record executive Tommy Mottola ended in 1998 - finds it difficult to form new relationships because she is paranoid potential lovers will post compromising footage of her on the internet.

She said: "We live in a world of extremely high technology so it is difficult for me to trust anybody." On the song 'Touch My Body', from her new album 'E=MC2', Mariah vows to get even with anyone who posts personal footage of her on video sharing website YouTube.

She sings: "If there's a camera up in here then I'd best not catch this flick on YouTube, 'cos if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous I will hunt you down."

In 2005, rapper Eminem - who allegedly briefly dated Mariah - played concert crowds a voicemail he claimed she left him, on which she was heard saying : "I heard you were getting back with your ex-wife. Why won't you see me? Why won't you call me? You're not calling me." Mariah insists the pair never had a sexual relationship of any sort.

Mariah Carey the prude

Mariah Carey has revealed she is as prudish as Mary Poppins.

The 'Touch My Body' singer, who is famous for her provocative music videos and songs, says she couldn't be more different from her on-stage persona.

She said: "It's a dichotomy, I understand. I understand that people think I'm a ditzy moron. But I'm more like a prude! I'm Mary Poppins. I'm what the buttoned-up girls are supposed to be."

Mariah - who replaced Janet Jackson on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend (15.03.08) after Janet was hospitalised with flu - also revealed she needs to have a number of personal assistants to ensure she arrives everywhere on time and on schedule.

She added to Allure magazine: "I have three personal assistants just to keep up with my schedule." Mariah's new single 'Touch My Body' looks set to reach number one in the US charts, which would equal The Beatles' record for the most number one singles.

'Mary Poppins' was a set of children's books written by P.L. Travers, which told the story of a magical strait-laced English nanny. The books were made into a hit film in 1964 starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.
