Mariah struggled to sit like a lady during live KARE interview Minneapolis Star Tribune Published Dec. 26, 2002 CJ26 The official story is that Mariah Carey flashed nothing more than her "Charmbracelet" on "KARE-11 Today." Heavy breathing has it that Carey wasn't wearing underwear when she sat down for an interview following her special "Today" show concert at the Mall of America two weeks ago. "Yeah, she was wearing underwear," said an assistant to Carey's NYC PR woman on Tuesday. "She did not know she was going to be seated for the interview; she was wearing a short skirt. . . . " The assistant's cell phone then conked out. Carey's skirt length was an issue the minute the singer arrived. Taking one look at the elevated set, Carey seemed to realize she couldn't step up. Members of her entourage lifted her. A woman who seemed to be among Carey's handlers appeared absolutely panicked as she kept going in and out of the bottom-right corner of the camera frame, holding a coat that was eventually draped over Carey's lap. On a raised stage, seated in a tall director's chair, Carey tried to keep those knees together as she crossed and uncrossed her legs and shifted positions. Responding to a question from KARE-11's Roxane Battle, Carey said, "I'm very much into being with my fans, getting close to them." At this point, a hand that did not belong to Carey could be seen tugging at the hem of her miniskirt. Carey had just placed her left palm over that space that would give live guests a direct view of the nether region when she interrupted the interview. "I'm sorry," Carey said, diverting her attention to someone to her left. "What's the matter . . . ?" said Carey. "We have a problem here," Carey told Battle, who asked, "Would you like to stand up, Mariah?" Carey stood and tugged at the clingy brown dress, which couldn't come down much because of a lack of fabric. "We didn't know that I was coming to sit up on a platform, or I would have had a little bit of a longer dress," Carey told KARE viewers and throngs of fans at the stage. Battle's co-host, Pat Evans, motioned to Carey that the camera angle was a chest-and-head shot. HA! Maybe Evans should have suggested on the air that the camera operators keep the angles tight, as in not from the knees up. People are insisting that Carey's skirt was so short you could see . . . home plate. I don't think I saw any untoward Carey scenery. Of course, I don't have a big-screen TV or the technology to enlarge frames. At one point, I saw a suspicious flash of something. I'm hoping and assuming it was upper thigh. Had it been more, don'tcha think this video would already be floating on the Web, not to mention getting the treatment by David Letterman and Jay Leno? Still, one KARE insider reported that colleagues huddled in a viewing room to examine the tape: "I don't know what people saw or didn't see; but from what I heard, it was a revealing interview." Rimshot. A KARE Demi-Boss viewed the tape after I called Monday to ask whether Carey had paid homage to Sharon Stone's "Basic Instinct" money shot. "I didn't see anything remotely interesting like that," DB reported Tuesday, sounding more like a member of Carey's image staff. "It's a standard old interview." Come on, there is nothing standard about Carey halting the interview and allowing a coat to be draped over the problem area. There seems to be a little bit of the exhibitionist in Carey, as underscored by Twin Cities flirting authority and author Jill Spiegel's recollection of Mariah's "Cribs" episode. "She started out in kind of a regular skimpy outfit. Then we went into her closet. Then she changed into a negligee and got into the bath," said Spiegel. Carey might have covered up with a towel, too. As for the KARE appearance, a panty-less Carey "is not something that would seem totally unbelievable," Spiegel said. "A lot of people don't [wear underwear] these days. She seems like someone who might not. You never see any panty line. She could have been wearing beige underwear, which always looks like skin." Fabulous point, Jill, but it will probably do nothing to quell what may become an urban legend.
Yall should check out the new Blender. She will never look bad IMO and cant believe she is 32! Small pic, but u get the picture.
I don't have high standards, but I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole. Also, she allegedly has hideous breath.

I think "w****" is kinda harsh, don't you? So the gal likes to show a little skin. The only dude I've ever heard of her being linked to is Derek Jeter. It's not as if she has the rep Madonna had back in her younger days.
thats funny, the video stopped right when she had a that sweeter to cover her up. Didnt see anything but could have in person
Luis Miguel, Vin Diesel, Eminem, and quite a few others. One reason I think she's hideous is because of that Glitter movie. That was a total turn off. She was disgusting in that movie. Another reason is, I don't think she's that hot and the hideous breath thing.
And just fyi, I've banged a few hideous chicks; you don't want to see what I wouldn't do. But, I wouldn't touch Carey with your wang.
gr8-1, Where are you getting this "hideous breath" thing for Mariah? You have mentioned it several times. Can you let us in on the scoop?
Mariah Carey has denied a million times that Eminem tapped her. Of course that just makes people think she's lying. Ever notice how paranoid she is about showing her left profile? She almost always shows the right profile. Even when she looks straight at the camera, as in the "Charmbracelet" cover shot (which I have only seen in music stores! which I would never buy!! YOU MUST BELIEVE ME!!!), her hair covers the left side of her face. Hunh. It isn't as if she's deformed.
Yeah, but I thought her appearance on MTV cribs more than made up for that...especially her tour of her tub.
