Mariah Carey doesn't believe in time and that includes her birthday
The superstar songstress recently spoke with UK radio station Capital FM and said she doesn't really acknowledge the passage of time. The show's co-hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby asked Carey to clarify what she meant.
'I just don't believe in it,' she said.
Stark asked if she meant time zones and Carey clarified, 'No, just time.'
That inspired a question from Welby.
'So no clocks?' he asked. 'Just not into that?'
'Yeah,' Carey replied. 'No, just let it go.'
Carey has let go clocks, apparently, as well as the concept of marking her birthday.
'I don't have a birthday, no,' she said. 'Anniversaries, yes.'
For those of us on Mariah time, Carey has celebrated 56 anniversaries of rotating around the sun.
So while calendars are ok for certain dates, without daily time markers in Carey's world, Stark wondered how she handles meetings and appointments with others.
'I would have someone call you and figure it out,' Carey said.
To quote one of her songs, it's like that.

Fancy Cats show set to bring Ocicats, Ragdolls and more to Greenwich
London is set to go cat crazy this summer when one of the UK's most dazzling feline events arrives in the capital. The Fancy Cats London SpeCATular will transform the University of Greenwich's Avery Hill campus into a paradise for cat lovers on August 30 and 31. The event promises a celebration of all things feline, with pedigree breeds and household cats competing for titles, prizes, and the coveted Best in Show. Top cats compete at Greenwich show featuring rare breeds and rescues (Image: Fancy Cats London SpeCATular) Cats and kittens from across the UK will be judged by international experts, with competitions running throughout the weekend. Visitors can meet breeders, chat with exhibitors, and learn about different breeds in a friendly, interactive setting. Stephen Whiting, an exhibitor from Sidcup, said: "I love the friendly atmosphere at these shows and really enjoy letting the visitors meet my cats and giving them the opportunity to learn about the different breeds. "My cats enjoy meeting the people who come to visit and saying 'hello' to everybody there. "I have quite rare breeds that perhaps not many people know much about so it is a good opportunity to raise their profile and to allow a new audience to discover them."

The show will feature well-known breeds such as British, Persian, Bengal, Maine Coon, Siamese, Ragdoll, Cornish Rex, and Ocicat. Mr Whiting will be showing his chocolate spotted Ocicat, Lottie, and his black classic tabby Aztec, Laurence. The event isn't just for pedigree cats. Visitors set to purr with joy at Fancy Cats London showcase (Image: Fancy Cats London SpeCATular) There are competition classes for household pets, and the Fancy Cats Class sees pedigree and non-pedigree cats compete side-by-side. Kelly Makdissy, founder and director of the Fancy Cats Organisation, said: "Our mission is to celebrate and support cats in all their diversity by promoting ethical breeding and showcasing the beauty of all cats. "We are dedicated to preserving breeds, raising awareness about responsible ownership and highlighting the joy and companionship that cats can bring to our lives. "We foster a vibrant, inclusive community where cat lovers, responsible breeders and advocates come together to celebrate, protect and elevate the feline world."

Ms Hart-Jones said: "There is always a super selection of high quality cats being exhibited at these shows and I am so looking forward to coming to London and meeting the wonderful cats that will be there, talking to exhibitors and being able to tell the visiting public all about each of the different cats as I am judging them." The show will also highlight the work of cat rescue organisations. At a previous event, Kool Cat Rescue found homes for four kittens after visitors met them at the show. Founders Jools Price and Mitzi Booth said: "The shows that Fancy Cats put on give us the opportunity to highlight the work that we do to look after and find loving homes for cats in need and at the same time enable us to raise much needed funds for the work that we do. "We are delighted that four of our kittens will have now found new homes through our presence at their last show." The Fancy Cats Organisation hosts events across the UK, giving the public a chance to meet cats, talk to breeders, and experience the excitement of the show. The London event will run from 10am to 4pm on both days. Activities will include breed presentations, children's activities, cat rescue stalls, and vendors selling cat-related products.

'I went to a Mamma Mia party at Bluewater and unleashed my inner dancing queen'
Forget Greece - it turns out you only need a trip to Dartford to unleash your inner dancing queen. Nearly two decades after Mamma Mia! The Movie was released, the rom-com musical still has a hold over pretty much every woman I know. It was fitting, then, that I took three generations of women in my family to a Mamma Mia Party at Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater - and we all had an absolute blast. DJ Jude and performer Tony Deluxe (Image: Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater) Stepping out of the lift and into the VIP Gallery Bar was like entering the disco-world of ABBA: everywhere I looked was sequins, sparkles and feather boas. DJ Jude was already getting everyone up and dancing with hits from the film and self-styled "king of disco" Tony Deluxe was bringing enough energy and glitter to rival Donna and the Dynamos. Bottomless prosecco, pizza and chocolates kept the dancing going (Image: Charlotte Anderson) To keep the dancing going, there was bottomless prosecco and pizza, as well as boozy chocolates from Hotel Chocolat. Everyone got the VIP treatment, whether that was regular top-ups from staff or a cool-down fan from Tony Deluxe. Tony Deluxe brought the energy (Image: Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater) The atmosphere was fantastic and the party even continued into the screen. Just when we thought there couldn't be any more dancing, the king of disco led us through easy but high-energy routines to a few ABBA songs, building anticipation to the screening. The dancing continued in the screen (Image: Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater) Singing along to the film was encouraged - everyone knew every word - and although others carried on dancing, I kicked back in the recliner seat to enjoy one of my favourite movies of all time. This was topped off by the popcorn and Lindt chocolate bar waiting for me when I sat down. Time to rest my legs after all that dancing (Image: Charlotte Anderson) It is a film my family and I have seen hundreds of times - but after the Mamma Mia Party at Bluewater it felt like we got to live it.
