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.

Mariah Carey 'made peace' with Tommy Mottola marriage
Mariah Carey has "made peace" with her marriage to Tommy Mottola. The 56-year-old singer wed the record company boss - who is 20 years her senior - in 1993 and she has previously admitted she felt controlled and lacking in freedom during their four-year union, but she's found learning to laugh at her past has helped her to move on. She told the new issue of Harper's Bazaar UK magazine: "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. "Humour 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." The Fantasy hitmaker felt unable to make the music she wanted to during her marriage to Tommy. She said: "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." Mariah found working on her 2020 memoir and audiobook The Meaning of Mariah Carey with writer Michaela Angela Davis a "therapeutic" experience, though it was also difficult. She said: "Working on it together was challenging, but it was also therapeutic. We stayed up late figuring out how we were going to put the story forth. I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive. "It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it… I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. Because this is me and I went through that." Mariah's parents divorced when she was a child so her own experiences have influenced the way she co-parents her 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with their father, her second ex-husband Nick Cannon. She said: "They spend time with him, and they have a good time; they spend time with me, and they have a good time. I want to make sure I'm always fair about the situation because it's tough to grow up with divorced parents." Meanwhile, the We Belong Together singer is happy to embrace her diva reputation because she sees it as part of her professional persona. She said of being branded a diva: "It's part of my job. What's the point of a disguise? Just get up, get dressed, go out. If I don't want to be seen, I'll stay home." The September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK is on sale from 31 July. Visit for more.

Jade Thirlwall thought music icon was her mum as she makes candid admission
Former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall shared a 'fun fact' with her fans during her BBC Proms performance as she revealed a funny childhood memory Jade Thirlwall shared a hilarious confession during her impressive BBC Proms performance in her native North East. The Little Mix star, 32, treated her hometown to an excellent show alongside the Royal Northern Sinfonia at Gateshead's The Glasshouse. In between her flawless tunes, the South Shields-born star took time to give her fans an insight into her life growing up in the region. And prior to introducing her huge hit titled Fantasy, Jade shared a "fun fact". She told her adoring crowd: "My mam was always playing Motown music, specifically Diana Ross. Fun fact, I genuinely thought my mam was Diana Ross for a hot minute. To the point where she would go off to the bingo and she would be like 'I'm going to do a show' and I'd be like 'gag, that's my mam'. "At one point, do you know when you go to school and you take in a show and tell thing? I remember this, I took in a Diana Ross programme and the kids had, like, I don't know, Pokemon cards or some sort of toy. "And they would be like 'what's that?' and I would be like 'it's my mam'. Alas, it wasn't my mam, but I think my mam's just as special, if not more." She then went on to introduce a tune that was based from her love of Motown as she impressively sang "in my on Jadefied way". She admitted the tune was a way to tell her fans it is "okay to be unapologetically yourself" as she performed her own tune called Fantasy. Jade also treated those at the event that was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 to a number of other big numbers from her own repertoire. And she also showcased her huge talent with a number of cover songs, including Madonna's Frozen. Perhaps the cover of the night came in the shape of Sam Fender's Remember My Name. Paying tribute to the "King of the North," Jade produced a flawless and spine tingling version of the emotional tune. The number had fans in tears before Jade welled up too following its conclusion. She explained the sentimental meaning behind her choice and, with her voice breaking, she revealed the song had been played at a friend's funeral just weeks ago. The candid confession was met with huge support from the crowd, some of who shouted out to gush over their "Angel of the North". The show was a history maker as, as well as the broadcast on Radio 3 on the night, Jade's performance was also filmed to go out on television at a later date. It marked the first time the Proms had been filmed for television outside of London.

Vikings give update on Justin Jefferson's hamstring injury as fantasy draft boards shift toward CeeDee Lamb
Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell on Friday (July 25) gave an update regarding wide receiver Justin Jefferson's recent hamstring strain. This development is bound to impact fantasy football rosters as well as he currently occupies the No. 2 receiver spot on the FantasyPros Average Draft Position following Ja'Marr Chase and just ahead of CeeDee Lamb. Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (18) stands on the field during the team's NFL football training camp Wednesday, July 23, 2025, in Eagan, Minn.(AP) 'We did have a little bit of further evaluation done, and he [Justin Jefferson] does have a very mild left hamstring strain. We're going to be really cautious with it. It is not the same leg from a couple of years ago. I know that question. I credit Justin just for his ability to recognize how he was feeling and the fact that we were able to avoid anything major. We're going to hold him out here for a bit and then re-evaluate him next week,' O'Connell said in a press briefing. "I'm actually toying with the idea of putting Lamb as my WR1 over Chase. I'm debating it,' Dan Schneier said on the Fantasy Football Today podcast on Friday. The hosts managed to discuss three possible receiver picks who occupy top positions in the PPR. Ja'Marr Chase In 2024, Chase emerged as the Triple Crown winner with the most receptions (127), receiving yards (1,708), and receiving touchdowns (17). This made him join the ranks of Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Steve Smith, and Cooper Kupp. With an average of 23.7 PPR points per game, he is the first receiver in NFL history to go beyond both 1,700 receiving yards and 17 receiving touchdowns in a single season. CeeDee Lamb In 2023, Lamb averaged 23.7 PPR points per game as the No. 1 Fantasy receiver. He continued to average 17.6 PPR points per game the following season while dealing with a shoulder injury. Justin Jefferson In 2024, Justin Jefferson recorded 103 catches, 1,533 yards, and 10 touchdowns on 154 targets along with an average of 18.7 PPR points per game. He is also the all-time leader in yards per game at 96.5, followed by Chase with 87.5. Jefferson's injury could become a point of concern if it were to linger beyond next week. By Stuti Gupta
