Mariah Carey, 56, looks incredibly youthful in striking snaps as she becomes latest star to baffle fans by appearing to age backwards
Mariah Carey looked like she'd barely aged a day in her latest slew of stunning snaps. The singer, 56, took to Instagram on Monday to document her time in Asia, writing: 'Loved celebrating Mother's Day in China! ❤️' Yet fans were focused on her stunning youthful looks, flooding the comments sections with compliments. Among the sweet messages were: 'Always beautiful'; 'Whoaaaa!!! So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️'; 'Slay mama ❤️❤️❤️❤️'; 'A+Amazing dahling'. Mariah - who is currently on her Celebration of Mimi tour - is mother to twins Monroe and Moroccan, 14. She is the latest Hollywood star to baffle fans by looking younger than ever as the years pass. Cosmetic surgeons have reported a recent rise in deep plane face lifts - with a myriad of A-listers including Nicole Kidman, Lindsay Lohan and Anne Hathaway - speculated to have had one. Mariah has denied having any cosmetic surgery and has instead credited many other factors for her youthful looks. Over the years she has opened up about various beauty tips - which range from never smoking cigarettes to only being photographed from her 'good side'. The singer has often highlighted the importance of external factors, like angles and positioning. She has on several occasions admitted to feeling 'tortured' by 'hideous' overhead lighting. Speaking recently on the Las Culturistas podcast with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, she voiced her grievances. 'I can't with the overhead lighting. Why do they do it to us? I shouldn't say us, it's not us. It's me,' Mariah remarked. 'I'm the one who's the most tortured by the hideous lighting in every elevator, doorways, gyms - not that I go to the gym. But I'm just saying, it's hideous lighting.' She added that 'the sun is OK if it's sunset', but is 'careful' to the UV ray exposure. 'But overheard lighting, I don't think so, honey,' the singer expressed. 'Everywhere I go, shut the lights. Turn them out. I don't want to see them no more.' It's not the first time Mariah has expressed that overhead lighting makes her 'sick'. In an interview with the Sunday Times in 2016, as reported by Yahoo!, the musician told the journalist: 'I have to point out this is a rented house - I would never have overhead lighting. High hats, they call them. 'In my apartment in New York, it's all recessed lighting, chandeliers, candles. This lighting is abusive.' Elsewhere earlier this year Mariah took to Instagram to show what she deemed the 'bad side' of her face. 'New year, new beginnings... taking a picture from my 'bad side'!' the caption read. Mariah smiled softly with the camera facing the left side of her face, where she has a signature mole between her lips and jawline. The star has frequently joked about her 'bad side' with fans, after in 2016 revealing that she was told to favour one side of her visage when she was only 19. Recounting the tale on her docuseries Mariah's World, she said it was her first ever shoot, and a photographer said her right side was her 'good side'. 'This is your good side,' they allegedly said. 'Only let people photograph you from your good side. Ever.' For years after, Mariah reportedly wouldn't allow photographs of her 'bad side' - but eventually leaned into it. In 2009, speaking to the Associated Press - as shared by Yahoo! - she revealed: 'I don't feel like, "Oh, I have to be on this side, or I have to be on this side." I really had specific things that someone told me when I was 19 starting in the business and I listened to them. I don't care anymore.' The pop sensation has also been rumoured to be a fan of unusual beauty treatments - including milk baths. Speaking to the Guardian in 2018, Mariah clarified an interviewer's question about whether it was really true that she only bathed in French mineral water? 'No, I bathe in milk,' she replied. 'Yes, sometimes I use milk as a beauty treatment. I don't want to give away all my secrets... Cold milk.' Elsewhere a US Weekly report once claimed that the artist paid a masseuse $1,500 to massage her for eight hours, while she slept. Speaking to FEMAIL, Dr Akis Ntonos, founder of Aion Aesthetics and partner of Certainly Health also suggested it's possible Mariah may have gotten 'tweakments' over the years to maintain her youthful appearance. The doctor shared that it is likely that Botox has been used in various areas of her face. The injections appear to have been administered masterfully, knocking years off her appearance while still keeping her looking like herself. 'Mariah has a very defined facial structure, so Botox would be used to fill out her lines without losing that striking definition,' he explained. 'It's been strategically injected in a way that lifts her eyes rather than making them droop. Her practitioner has done an excellent job. 'Good Botox is all about enhancing what's already there, not completely overhauling your natural beauty.' Dr Ntonos believes that part of the reason Mariah Carey's Botox is so impressive is that it is most likely been used preventatively. He added: 'Botox is a widely used treatment to diminish signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines. 'Most people get Botox once these signs have already appeared; however, preventive Botox aims to beat the formation of wrinkles. 'By relaxing or weakening the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, preventive Botox can help to slow down the development of these lines.' When it comes to make-up, the star has also revealed a surprising product that she 'never' wears. Speaking to US Weekly, Mariah admitted that she 'hates' mascara. 'Whenever a makeup artist tries to put it on me, I throw a fit,' she added. Mariah also told the outlet that she has a strict no-smoking policy for her wellbeing. 'I smoked quite frequently from the time I was 12 to when I was 18,' the singer admitted. 'I gave up smoking in one day and never went back. I absolutely detest cigarette smoke now.' However, the rule does appear to be linked to her vocal abilities more than anything else. 'One day I promised God if he'd give me my voice back, I'd never smoke again,' she had said in an interview, as shared by Vogue. 'And I got three octaves back after quitting.' Because nobody does a comeback story quite like a true pop diva. In 2016 Mariah also opened up about her food choices, for maintaining a healthy body. 'It's really hard. My diet, you would hate it,' she told E! News. 'All you eat is Norwegian salmon and capers every day. That's it. 'I'm actually serious... I try to stick with the proteins. It's the worst.'

'They were like, 'Oh, we didn't realize this is what we were dealing with. Where we come from, this doesn't happen.' That was sort of their concept of it. And so I give them a lot of grace for that because they just have no context for it. And so we went to conversion therapy,' Yang told Geist.

Bowen Yang confesses he got 'the nerves' around Jon Hamm's hotness on 'SNL': 'Wait, I'm scared'
Jon Hamm is so hot that it can be a bit nerve-racking for his costars. On a recent episode of Bowen Yang's Las Culturistas podcast, the Saturday Night Live cast member revealed that he was genuinely antsy about working with Hamm when he hosted the sketch show last month — because the Mad Men actor happens to be both ridiculously attractive and ridiculously kind. The memory came up as part of a conversation with Joel Kim Booster about how frustrating it was that their Fire Island costar Zane Phillips was hot, talented, and nice all at the same time. "Wait, let's just speak on this," Yang said, "because I experienced this recently of getting the nerves when you're acting with a hot person. It happens all the time, but certain people really f--- your s--- up." Enter Hamm. "When Jon Hamm was hosting SNL, and I was just like, 'Huh!'" Yang said. "Like, we were playing a couple and I was just like, 'Wait, I'm scared.'" The comedian was referring to their "New Parents" sketch, which saw Yang and Hamm play a gay couple who bring their new baby to a friend's party… only for their friends to start barraging them with questions about where exactly they got a baby from, because they definitely didn't have one last night. Yang acknowledged that he understood that there was "no reason to feel nervous" around Hamm, but he just couldn't help it. "Just such a wonderful person," he said of the actor. "But I was just like… First of all, you're Don Draper. Second of all, you're so handsome. Third of all, you're so funny. Like, just so many wonderful things about that man. And sometimes it knocks me off my center." Booster recalled feeling a similar way when they cast Conrad Ricamora in Fire Island. "The reason we cast Conrad is because Conrad made me forget my lines in our chemistry read together," he said. "I was so flustered because he is such a vibe. I mean, a hot man on paper — just physically pictures, yes, it reads, he's very hot. But then you get with him and that close to him, and it's just like the nerves are… It's crazy because he is so charismatic and such a vibe." "Gravitational field is distorted," Yang added. Listen to Booster and Yang talk about the difficulty of working alongside their cutie costars in the podcast episode above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
