Mariah Carey: Ageing doesn't happen to me and I won't allow it
T o preserve his eternal youth Dorian Gray traded his soul, while it was said that Queen Cleopatra bathed daily in sour donkey milk to delay the ageing process. But Mariah Carey, the US pop star and self-confessed diva, has another method: refuse to acknowledge ageing altogether. The singer, 56, has said that ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her because she 'does not acknowledge time'. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, Carey was asked how she deals with getting older. 'I don't allow it — it just doesn't happen. I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time,' she replied. Carey appears on the front cover of this month's edition of Harper's Bazaar ALEXI LUBOMIRSKI/HARPER'S BAZAAR The Fantasy singer, who has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, has spoken before about her ability to ignore time. Speaking to People magazine in 2015 she said: 'I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. 'Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it's just like, why? Why do that?' In a 2014 interview with Out magazine she was asked about her lengthy career — which now spans more than three decades — as one of the world's most famous pop stars. 'First of all, don't round up. If you're going to round, round down!' she said. 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them — I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling. 'I'm eternally 12 years old,' she added. Carey promoting her album, Emotions, in New York in 1991 RON GALELLA/GETTY IMAGES In 2015 she was asked in an interview with James Corden how many No 1 singles she had had. 'Yes, 18, that's why my age stays 18,' she replied. 'We'll celebrate my 18th birthday with the fact that I've had 18 No 1s.' She has also refused ever to publicly acknowledge her age. Officially, Carey was born on March 27, 1969 in Huntington, New York. 'I don't have a birthday,' she has joked. 'I was just dropped here. It was a fairyland experience.' • Live fast, play slow: how tempos drop as singers age Her beauty regime is also intensive, with Carey revealing she avoids harsh lighting and heavy make-up.

Katy Perry Left Clinging to Flying Prop After Mid-Song Malfunction
Katy Perry is the latest touring pop star to be hit with a major prop malfunction while mid-song — and mid-air. Multiple fan videos from Perry's performance in San Francisco showed the singer nearly falling from a flying butterfly as it traversed the Chase Center. Perry was singing her 2013 hit 'Roar' Friday night when the prop appeared to tilt and drop, which prompted her to grab on to the cables and look up. Perry then waved to the crowd to indicate she was OK.

Beyoncé paused the show and asked production to 'stop' repeatedly, before carrying on with the performance once the issue was resolved. The crowd cheered as the production crew attempted to rectify the situation. 'Thank you for your patience,' Beyoncé said. The car was eventually lowered to the floor level. Both the car and Beyoncé were harnessed to cables, and the singer was also seen gripping on to one as the crew navigated the situation.

Justin Bieber admits to Hailey Bieber marriage struggles in new album
Justin Bieber is putting his love on the line. In his long-awaited seventh studio album, "Swag," the pop star appeared to address long-rumored marital troubles with wife Hailey Bieber in several tracks. In his song "Walking Away," the 31-year-old singer sang, "Tell me why you're throwing stones at my back -- You know I'm defenseless." JUSTIN BIEBER MAKES PUBLIC APOLOGY TO HAILEY OVER VOGUE COVER COMMENTS "Girl, we better stop before we say some s--t. We've been testing our patience. I think we better off if we just take a break and remember what grace is," Bieber added. In his next set of lyrics he sang, "Baby, I ain't walking away. You were my diamond. Gave you a ring. I made you a promise. I told you, I'd change. It's just human nature, these growing pains. And baby, I ain't walking away." On Bieber's track "Daisies," he appeared to paint a picture of emotional uncertainty as he questioned the strength of his relationship. JUSTIN BIEBER FEARS BEING 'EXPOSED,' SAYS HE'S BEEN 'USED' AS CONCERNS MOUNT FOR TROUBLED POP STAR He compared himself to someone picking petals, as he sang: "Do you love me or not?" "Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop. You said 'Forever,' babe, did you mean it or not?" Bieber continued. "And if it ain't right, babe, you know, I respect it. But if you need time, just take your time. Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it." APP USERS CLICK HERE TO VIEW POST View this post on Instagram A post shared by Justin Bieber (@lilbieber) In his track "Go Baby," one of the album's softer moments, Bieber appeared to shift from turmoil to tenderness. This time he sang directly to wife Hailey, 28, with admiration and affection. He dubbed the model "iconic," and shouted out her viral Rhode lip gloss, tucked neatly into her iPhone case — a nod to her growing beauty empire. "When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face. Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain. Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break. Don't need to pretend that you're okay." Bieber added, "cry on my shoulder… stay by my side." His wife Hailey showed her support, sharing several photos of his album cover on her Instagram story. Bieber's "Swag" album was spotted on billboards across major cities, including in Times Square, New York. She additionally posted on her social media that she listened to the track "Daises."

In May, Bieber made a public apology to his wife about her Vogue cover. He took to Instagram to share images from Hailey's photo shoot with Vogue. In his caption, he explained that he'd once told her she'd never land the cover of the legendary fashion magazine. "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight," he wrote. "I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue, Yikes I know, so mean."

I think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even. we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection." Bieber, who has since deleted his caption, finished his post by dedicating a message directly to his wife, and wrote, "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken." Earlier that same month, Bieber admitted being "flawed" in a series of posts on social media. The singer, who had previously been in the spotlight for his behavior on social media causing concern among fans, wrote, "I'm just an average flawed guy. I've done things that have hurt others. I continue to do and say things that hurt others unintentionally." Bieber and Hailey tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024.
