Mariah Carey sparks concern with ANOTHER bizarre interview as fans claim she appeared 'detached' and 'off'

Daily Mail​a day ago

Mariah Carey has been called out by fans yet again after another bizarre interview.
The diva, 56, appeared on LA radio station KOST 1035 on Friday to promote her new single Type Dangerous.
During the interview, some fans claimed that the songstress seemed 'detached' and unlike her usual self.
Fans took to social media to share their concern after branding her behavior in the sit-down as 'off.'
'Mariah has been a bit detached lately in interviews - the host did a great job trying to keep her engaged with light-hearted questions,' one user wrote.
'Mariah is usually a talker and she doesn't seem to be connected in these interviews today. She seems a bit off!' added another.
A third agreed, 'She definitely seems off. Irritated, bored, not present. Faking a smile and laugh... uncomfortable to watch.'
'I'm an OG lamb from 1990 and mother does seem a bit off. It could be fatigue. I hope she's staying hydrated and taking vitamins,' a fourth post read.
One fan suspected that Mariah may not be feeling her best due to some issues in her personal life.
'She has had a rough past year with her breakup from [Bryan Tanaka], and the death of her mother and sister,' they said.
'It can be a very depressing experience to undergo all this all alone. Hopefully she has people around her to check on her wellbeing, and she is comfortable to open up to.'
However, many other fans joked that there might be a simple reason behind the hitmaker's lack of energy - she's not a morning person.
'Mariah isn't a morning person... so those who say the interview is off, it's because it's very early for the lady,' explained one.
Another added, 'If this was in the morning, she has never been a morning person. Stop disrespecting the Queen. She's fine and she's BACK.'
Mariah has previously described herself as 'nocturnal' and revealed that she likes to record late at night.
She's also known for sleeping up to 15 hours a night in a room filled with 20 humidifiers to protect her voice.
It comes after the We Belong Together singer left some of her Australian fans confused after appearing disinterested as she sat down for an interview with The Project last month.
The pop diva gave a series of short answers, sometimes uttering single word responses in a bored monotone while speaking with host Georgie Tunny.
When asked how she handles criticism, Mariah replied simply: 'By not coping is what I do.'
After a pause she continued: 'I mean, just don't pay attention to it, you know? And everybody else goes through it, so... whatever.'
The 56-year-old was also asked what she'd like on her tour bus for her upcoming Aussie tour, to which Mariah oddly replied in deadpan: 'A kangaroo.'
Mariah was likewise asked about her notorious love of good lighting, to which she said dismissively: 'Good lighting is everything. I don't know why people even have rooms that are poorly lit.'
The interview plodded along at painful length, with some viewers branding it 'bizarre' and even asking if the clip was AI.
'Was that an AI version of MC? That poor lady. I feel sorry for you. You did your best. She hasn't been called a DIVA for no reason... Maybe in the shadow sooner then she likes,' wrote one person.
'Sure she wasn't an AI version of Carey? Weird smile, no eye contact. Bot for sure' someone else asked.
'That was the most bizarre interview!!' yet another chimed in.
Despite the controversy, Mariah is currently preparing to release her 16th studio album.
According to Forbes, the songstress, who has had 19 number one singles, is aiming to get her 20th chart topper with her new single Type Dangerous.
'She's fighting to stay contemporary,' her longtime producer LA Reid told the publication.
Mariah left her label Epic Records, who released her last album Caution, to partner with new music company Gamma for her comeback.

Zoe Saldana brings her three sons to Elio premiere in rare sighting and reveals their summer plans

Zoe Saldaña brought all three of her sons to the world premiere of Elio, which was held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday. The Oscar winner - turning 47 next week - dressed her 10-year-old twin sons Cy Aridio & Bowie Ezio and eight-year-old son Zen Anton Hilario in matching black blazers over white button-up shirts, blue jeans, and sneakers. Zoe revealed her children specifically requested that the family spend this summer not far from their $17.5M five-bedroom Montecito mansion affectionately called 'Casa De Buena Vista' when they're not enjoying 'a lot of camp.' 'Usually our summers are always spent traveling and traveling around work and traveling in general. This summer, they were very adamant about staying home,' Saldaña told ET on the blue carpet. 'And now they're getting older and they're not just little briefcases that you can take around with you. They have their own opinions they make their own decisions and they are very much about, "This is what we want. We want soccer. We want music. We want playdates, but we want to be home." So we're going to do that.' Noticeably missing from the family film festivities was the Emilia Pérez actress' husband of 12 years, Italian artist-filmmaker Marco Perego Saldaña. Zoe (born Zoë Yadira Saldaña Nazario) was dressed conservatively in a rust-colored turtleneck blouse tucked into a mustard-colored pencil skirt and brown pointy-toed pumps selected by stylist Petra Flannery. Hairstylist Mara Roszak coiffed Saldaña's tidy updo and make-up artist Vera Steimberg applied her wine-colored pout. The half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican triple threat made her Pixar debut voicing Olga Solis - whose nephew is abducted by aliens - in the animated sci-fi comedy Elio, which hits US/UK theaters June 20. 'I wanted to be able to be apart of great stories out there that my children can relate to from an early stage,' Zoe explained of her motivation.

Scarlett Johansson reveals the REAL reason her Thunderbolts producer credit was removed

Scarlett Johansson revealed why her Thunderbolts executive producer credit had been removed from the film. The actress, 40 - who recently resembled Marilyn Monroe on set of an upcoming 'gritty' Russian mafia movie - opened up about the topic while talking to David Harbour for Interview Magazine. The Stranger Things actor took on the role of Red Guardian in the latest Marvel project - alongside other stars such as Florence Pugh, Lewis Pullman and Sebastian Stan. Johansson and Harbour's conversation took place on opening day of Thunderbolts and David asked the beauty if she had already seen the movie. Scarlett - who is known for portraying Black Widow in the Marvel franchise - replied with, 'No.' 'Okay. You are an executive producer on it. Congratulations,' he added, to which she explained, 'I asked to have my credit removed because I wasn't involved.' David then jokingly quipped, 'You hated the movie that much?' which prompted Johansson to add, 'No, you're just wanting that to be the case.' The Oscar-nominated actress then stated that she was 'proud' of Harbour as well as the cast of Thunderbolts. The superhero film - which was directed by Jake Schreier - officially hit theaters last month on May 2, and raked in $376.8 million in the box office on a budget of $180 million. Scarlett later reflected on her time starring in Marvel movies such as Iron Man 2 (2010), The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Black Widow (2021). However, while talking about the plot of some films, the star stated that sometimes characters simply felt like 'a device to move it along.' 'Some of the films that I did for Marvel engaged my character more than others. Like in Captain America: Winter Soldier with Chris Evans, we were really dynamic.' Johannsson continued, 'In some of the other films, the cast was so enormous and there was so much plot to serve that you start to feel like you're a device to move it along. 'And if you're committed to five and a half months of that, it's like, "Okay. I can't paint my nails, I can't get a haircut."' Scarlett further explained that 'your identity is wrapped up in this job for a long time, and if you're not doing engaging work as an actor, you feel a little cagey sometimes.' During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the actress labeled The Avengers (2012) a 'mess' - despite garnering a whopping $1 billion in the box office. 'When we made the first Avengers, none of us knew what the potential would be. Iron Man was massively successful. It was huge; it built the studio of Marvel. And then Iron Man 2 was also very successful,' the star told the outlet. 'There was Thor, and that character felt like it was from a completely different universe... It was such a different tone [from] the Iron Man movies. And then, of course, the Captain America movie had its whole own identity as well.' Johansson added, 'And then when you added the characters all together, plus Hulk and Hawkeye, it just felt like a big mess, to be honest. Even on the set, it felt crazy, because we all looked insane. It was like, "What are we doing?"' The Lost In Translation actress then admitted, 'I don't think anybody knew if it was gonna work or not. '[Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige knew it was gonna work; Joss Whedon knew it was gonna work. But the cast... it was blind faith, basically, that we all had in Joss and Kevin Feige.' But after filming the iconic Battle of New York scene, Scarlett shared that the cast changed their opinion and said, 'It felt powerful.' Last month in May while also talking to Vanity Fair, Johansson got candid about her future with Marvel films. Avengers: Doomsday is slated to hit theaters next year in 2026, but the actress stated that she will not appear in the movie. 'It would be very hard for me to understand in what capacity [returning] would make sense for me, for the character that I play,' she explained. 'I miss my buddies and really would love to be with them forever, but what works about the character is that her story is complete. I don't want to mess with that. For fans too - it's important for them.' Back in 2021, she notably settled a lawsuit with Disney after she sued the company for an alleged breach of contract by offering Black Widow on streaming at the same it played in theaters. While Scarlett doesn't have plans to return to the MCU, she has been keeping busy and took on a role in the upcoming film Jurassic World Rebirth (seen above) While Scarlett doesn't have plans to return to the MCU, she has been keeping busy and took on a role in the upcoming film Jurassic World Rebirth. The movie - which also stars Jonathan Bailey and Luna Blaise - will premiere in theaters later this summer on July 2. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actress talked about being cast in the Jurassic Park franchise and said it was 'unbelievable.' 'I've been trying to get into a Jurassic movie for, I don't know, 15 years or something. I was so stoked that it all came together.'

Weinstein jury deliberations scrutinize one accuser's account

Jurors in Harvey Weinstein 'ssex crimes retrial are drilling down on one of the three charges against him: a rape accusation from a woman who also said she had a consensual relationship with him. The seven female and five male jurors are poised to start their fifth day of deliberations Wednesday by re-hearing Jessica Mann's testimony that he raped her in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013. Mann's accusation was an apparent focus of Tuesday's deliberations, and the jury ended the day by asking to be re-read her testimony about what happened between her and Weinstein at the hotel. The group also indicated it wants to continue privately reviewing her emails with Weinstein and some 2017 medical records concerning her reaction to news accounts of other women's allegations against him. The former Hollywood powerbroker, 73, has pleaded not guilty to raping Mann and to forcing oral sex on two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokola. The Oscar-winning producer maintains that he never sexually assaulted or raped anyone, and his lawyers portrayed his accusers as opportunists who accepted his advances because they wanted a leg up in the entertainment world. While all three women stayed in contact with Weinstein despite what they say were assaults, Mann had a particularly complex history with him. During days on the witness stand, she testified that they had a consensual relationship that exploded into rape, yet continued afterward. Weinstein was one of the movie industry's most powerful figures until a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him became public in 2017, fueling the #MeToo movement and eventually leading to criminal charges. He originally was convicted in 2020 of raping Mann and forcing oral sex on Haley. Sokola's allegation was added last year, after New York state's highest court overturned the 2020 conviction and sent the case back for retrial. Meanwhile, Weinstein is appealing a 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. After a couple of days of apparent interpersonal friction, the retrial jury worked through Tuesday with no further complaints. The Associated Press generally does not identify people without their permission if they say they have been sexually assaulted. Sokola, Mann and Haley have agreed to be named.
