Belgium has a crush on Mariah
Mariah Carey causes a commotion - in or out of her clothes. The songbird, who flashes her assets again in the new Rolling Stone, came close to getting crushed yesterday at a record-store appearance in Brussels. The Belgians aren't known as a rabid people. But when more than 10,000 of them show up at a CD signing, it can be a problem. So many of Carey's waffle-loving, loafer-wearing fans pressed against the store that one of its windows shattered, a witness tells us. We're also that two cars were damaged by the weight of fans who climbed up to get a look at Carey. Police ended up forming a human shield around the diva to get her to her limo. "She was scared," says her publicist, Cindi Berger. "She was really scared."
Just wait till the Belgians get a load of Carey in Rolling Stone. Photographer David LaChapelle shoots her in a leopard bikini, in a lacy bra and fishnets, and in hot pants surprising a locker-room of towel-clad jocks. There's also a bikini photo of her pre-pubescent days. Given that she was just a string bean of a girl then, she looks flatter. But some sources rumor that her present bosom, which she kept barely harnessed at the American Music Awards, has been enhanced through surgery.
Not so, says Berger. "She's just lost a lot of weight," says the publicist, who also shoots down next week's National Enquirer claim that liposuction helped the singer lose that weight. Carey tells Rolling Stone that it was a snippy joke from Joan Rivers at the Oscars last year that goaded her into shedding pounds. She also reveals that she started her world tour in Guam because she has a hypnotic fascination with the island, after which she named one of her Jack Russell terriers. Those dogs do live well, by the way. Berger confirms to us that when Carey vacationed in Aspen over the holidays, she rented a Winnebego just for the princely pooches. (New York Daily News)
