Mariah Carey says ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her in candid admission
The pop diva and mother of two has said she doesn't 'acknowledge time' Pop diva Mariah Carey has declared boldly that ageing is a non-event for her as she simply doesn't entertain the concept of time. The 56-year-old singer revealed that she's written a song about her thoughts on getting older, before releasing her 16th studio album, Here For It All. "I don't allow it – it just doesn't happen," she said in a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar UK. "I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time – I have a new song that starts with that line." Mariah also discussed reflecting on her life while writing her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, with journalist Michaela Angela Davis. The memoir detailed the numerous challenges Mariah faced growing up as a biracial woman in Long Island, New York. 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." Despite this, Mariah mentioned she infused some humour into her latest work, particularly with the album's lead single 'Type Dangerous', which she calls 'tongue in cheek'. Reflecting on her mother's impact on her illustrious career, she also added: "We didn't always have the world' s greatest relationship but certain things she said or did resonated with me as a kid. "She once told me, 'don't say if I make it, say when I make it', that just stuck with me, and I never gave up." Since launching her career in the late 1980s, Mariah has had three UK number-one singles and two UK number-one albums. The singer is perhaps best known for her perennial festive hit, All I Want For Christmas Is You. Beyond this, the star has appeared in several Hollywood films, including The Bachelor, The Lego Batman Movie, and Precious. The complete interview with Mariah Carey can be found in the September edition of Harper's Bazaar UK, available from July 31.

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.

Rich Celebs Who Fired Or Financially Cut Off Family
1. During a recent appearance on the Den of Kings podcast, Tyler Perry — who has a net worth of $1.4 billion, per Forbes — explained why he stopped giving his family members money. 'I fired my aunt,' he began. 'She said she wanted a job. She would always call, asking for money. I'm like, 'OK.' I was sending the money. I was like, 'Listen. I wanna help you. I want to help you build this thing, not be welfare to you. So, let me give you a job.'' 2. In 2016, Mariah Carey's late sister, Alison Carey, once publicly begged the star to send her money for her medical bills. Mariah and Alison had an extremely turbulent relationship, with Mariah claiming in her 2020 memoir, 'When I was 12 years old, my sister drugged me with Valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, inflicted me with third-degree burns and tried to sell me out to a pimp.' Mariah also alleged that Alison struggled with drug addiction. Alison denied the allegations and sued Mariah for $1.25 million shortly after her book was published. 3. Kourtney Kardashian once revealed that her dad, the late, wealthy lawyer Robert Kardashian Sr., gave her a month to find a job after graduating from college. 'My dad was like, 'You need to get a job. You have a month, I'll help you find one. But then you have to make money and support yourself,'' she recalled. 4. Dakota Johnson revealed that her dad, actor Don Johnson, cut her off financially when she decided not to go to college. 'It was difficult, but I figured it out. He said to everybody — by 'everybody,' I mean all of my siblings ... he calls it the 'payroll.' It's an allowance. He said if you go to college, you still get an allowance. And I was like, 'Well, I'm going to be an actress,' so he was like, 'Alright, well, you're on your own,'' she shared. 5. Actor Shirley MacLaine's daughter Sachi Parker once claimed that her mom cut her off financially right after she finished high school, when she was 17. She also claimed that when she asked for $500 to buy a used car, Shirley agreed to loan it to her — with interest charged. 6. Gwyneth Paltrow once revealed that her dad, director Bruce Paltrow, refused to help her out financially after she dropped out of UC Santa Barbara to pursue acting. 'My dad was like, 'That's great, but I'm not gonna help you.' I was like, 'Yeah, right.' And he was like, 'No, I'm not.' So I got an apartment with a roommate. I worked as a hostess at a restaurant; I would scrounge quarters to buy Starbucks — and walk there to save gas. I remember once asking my dad for money, like, 'Please, I'm really stuck. Can you help?' And he said, 'You're more than welcome to come over for dinner.' That was it,' she told Glamour. Meanwhile, several celebrities have talked openly about firing their own family members amid alleged financial disputes: 7. In 2011, Beyoncé fired her father, Mathew Knowles, after he spent over 15 years managing her career. At the time, Live Nation reports claimed that Mathew 'had stolen money from Beyoncé on her most recent tour or otherwise taken funds that [he] was not entitled to.' Mathew denied the allegations. 8. Late singer Aaron Carter once fired his mother from her position as his manager and filed for emancipation when he was just 16 years old, after accusing her of removing over $100,000 from his bank account without permission. 'I feel betrayed by my own mother,' he said in a statement. 'I worked hard for months – 10/11 hours a day, not including school and press appearances – and I come home and owe money!' Aaron's mom denied the claim, alleging that she 'never touched' his money. 9. And finally, LeAnn Rimes parted ways with her parents, who managed her career as a teen, after alleging in a lawsuit that her dad had taken $7 million of her earnings without her permission. The pair eventually reconciled their relationship. If you can think of more examples, let us know in the comments.
