Mariah Carey just learned of Katy Perry's Blue Origin space flight: ‘Into orbit and back? She's, like, floating?'
She doesn't know her. Mariah Carey isn't keeping up with the news around Katy Perry. Four months after the 'Teenage Dream' singer, 40, went to space on the Blue Origin flight in April, Carey, 56, is apparently just learning about it. Advertisement During an interview on 'The Scott Mills Breakfast Show' on BBC's Radio 2, Mills asked the 'We Belong Together' singer if she would also go to space like Perry. Carey seemed confused, and replied, 'Did she go to space?' 10 Mariah Carey on 'The Scott Mills Breakfast Show.'

The Scott Mills Breakfast Show Advertisement Carey's blunt reply about Perry's space adventure is similar to her famous 'I don't know her' comment. The hilarious snub has since become a meme, but the quote originated in 2003 when Carey was asked about Jennifer Lopez, who was perceived as her rival, and she replied, 'I don't know her.' Perry – who split from fiance Orlando Bloom, 48, in July – went on the all-female flight on April 14. She was joined by Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos' then-fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, film producer Kerianne Flynn, CBS host Gayle King, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen. The flight lasted roughly 10 minutes, and although the rocket elevated high enough to qualify as going to 'space,' nobody exited the vessel. 10 Katy Perry and journalists Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez on the Blue Origin rocket.

Blue Origin Perry, who shares 4-year-old daughter Daisy with the 'Lord of the Rings' actor, brought a daisy with her on the flight as a nod to her daughter. (She and Bloom announced their split in July.) The high-profile trip drew backlash for being a 'vanity project,' even as it described itself as historical for having an all-female crew, and Perry was mocked for a photo of her kissing the ground after landing. Advertisement Olivia Munn called the mission 'gluttonous' in April. 'What are they doing?' the actress, 44, said on 'Today With Jenna & Friends.' 'I know this probably isn't the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now.' 'I know this is probably obnoxious,' Munn added, 'but like, it's so much money to go to space, and there's a lot of people who can't even afford eggs. What's the point? Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think it's a bit gluttonous.' 'Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind.

'Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess,' she captioned a photo of Perry returning to Earth and kissing the ground. Advertisement Emily Ratajkowski, meanwhile, said it was 'beyond parody.' The model blasted the group, 'Saying that you care about Mother Earth and it's about Mother Earth, and you're going up in a spaceship that is built and paid for by a company that's singlehandedly destroying the planet.' 10 Mariah Carey on Aug. 2, 2025. M.T.W. / Even brands got in jabs at the 'I Kissed A Girl' singer, as fast-food giant Wendy's tweeted 'Can we send her back' in response to news that Perry had returned from space. Advertisement Perry took to social media later in April to address her critics, who she called 'unhinged.' 'When the 'online' world tries to make me a human piñata, I take it with grace and send them love,' she wrote. 'Cause I know so many people are hurting in so many ways and the internet is very much so a dumping ground for unhinged and unhealed.'

Mariah Carey: The people were ‘amazing' at Brighton Pride show
The five-time Grammy winner, who has sold more than 220 million albums worldwide, took to the stage in Preston Park on Saturday as the headline act at Brighton And Hove Pride. She told the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2: 'I loved it. The people were amazing, and just being there amongst friends was really nice.' A post shared by BBC Radio 2 (@bbcradio2) Carey, 56, appeared sporting a sparkling pink, blue and silver dress and matching jacket, matching the colours of the transgender flag, with 'protect the dolls' on the back. Speaking about her connection to the LGBT+ community, she said: 'I feel like there's a mutual love between us. 'I kind of grew up in a situation where my mother had two friends, and they were my guncles (gay uncles), and nobody else in school had guncles or anybody, or if they did, they didn't talk about like the gay members of their family. 'So, I would put on plays for my guncles and do all this stuff. And, I think it was a thing that helped me in my life, being around people, all different people.' A post shared by BBC Radio 2 (@bbcradio2) The pop star, who releases her new album in September, also revealed that she has woken up to a full face of makeup, while on a plane. After Mills told her of a singer who had their makeup done in their sleep, she said: 'That makes sense, and I have done that before when I'm sleeping on a plane and I was laying back and we were going from country to country, and my makeup artist, Kristofer Buckle, he would just do my face, and I would just be laying there.' Asked if she woke up to 'full glam and hair', she said: 'Yep, hair too, because the hairdresser was there.' The singer recently made headlines for saying ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her as she refuses to acknowledge the passing of time in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK. Since her career began in the late 1980s, Carey has had three UK number one singles and two UK number one albums. She is perhaps best known for her evergreen festive track, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Mariah Carey names which ex she is ‘angry' with… and it's NOT Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey has opened up about her turbulent love life in a candid interview - and revealed which ex makes her blood boil. The music icon, 56, who shares twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon, admitted first spouse Tommy Mottola still makes her 'angry' as she reflected on their five year marriage in a chat with Harper's Bazaar UK. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records. Carey married Mottola, now 77, when she was just 23-years-old and he was 20 years her senior. Before their marriage she already was a rising star with the success of her debut namesake album. During their marriage, her career skyrocketed, with the success of her hit songs Hero, Fantasy, All I Want For Christmas Is You, and Always Be My Baby, among others. Carey has previously described her marriage to Mottola as a 'private hell' and claimed the music supremo was controlling - allegations Mottola has vehemently denied. She said this week: 'Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I've made peace with it – in any case, I vowed I'd stop talking about it. 'Humor is my release, and people who know me know that. I'll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story. It's a coping mechanism, but it's in my nature to laugh. She said of her desire to go against Mottola's vision of her as a mainstream pop artist: 'I wanted to do more R&B, more urban music, and any time I would bring that up, it would get shot down. It wasn't that I didn't like the music I was making – I just felt there was more inside me that I wanted to release.' Carey added she felt 'free for the first time' when she released 1997 album Butterfly. 'You might want to picture a child bride,' Carey previously said of her dynamic with Mottola in a 2019 Cosmopolitan interview. 'There was a conscious effort to keep me as this all-American, whatever that means, girl. It was very controlled. There was no freedom for me as a human being. It was almost like being a prisoner,' said Carey. She also spoke to Oprah about her short relationship with Derek Jeter, that served as 'a catalyst' for the end of her first marriage. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records - pictured 1997 She welcomed twins with second husband Nick Cannon - who she divorced in 2016 - pictured 2012 When she started her affair with the baseball heartthrob, the songbird was married to Mottola. From 2008 until 2016 she was married to Cannon, with whom she amicably co-parents twins Monroe and Moroccan, 14. Cannon is now a dad of 12 by six different women. After that divorce she had a failed engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer and dated former backup dancer Bryan Tanaka for seven years until 2023. In recent months she has been rumored to be dating Anderson .Paak, 39.
