Mariah dating actor Vin Diesel?
Just a month ago Mariah Carey asked reporters to help her find a man, but now it appears the sultry songbird has found one all by herself. Carey, who last dated South American cad Luis Miguel, is happily seeing action star Vin Diesel. On Monday, the two caught up with each other in Aspen. "Vin flew in on a private jet for a quick visit," said our spy. "On Monday night, Vin took her to dinner at Pinions and was canoodling with her. After dinner they went back to the house she's staying in with her entourage and I think they spent the night." Early the next morning, Diesel flew out of Aspen and headed for his family in Connecticut.
Diesel's rep, Toby Fleischman, denied he was dating Carey, but acknowledged the two spent some time together. "Vin was in Aspen snowboarding and ran into Mariah," Fleischman explained. "They talked about her collaborating on his next film, 'A Man Apart'. Vin thought maybe she could do a song for the soundtrack."
Diesel may have the hots for Carey but has reason to be wary of having her act in his picture. Her last efforts, "Glitter" and "Wisegirls", were roundly panned. Her flack, Cindi Berger, confirmed Carey was in Aspen. Carey was resting in the resort town after an embarrassing situation in Minneapolis, where she was accused of pulling a "Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct" by the Minneapolis Tribune. Carey wowed observers when she showed up to an interview with a local television station in a micro-mini. But it appeared to witnesses she was wearing no underwear.
"Mariah's skirt was so short, she couldn't step up on the elevated set and members of her entourage had to lift her," spies said. Carey was placed in a high director's chair on top of a raised stage - giving everyone a view under her skirt. At one point during the telecast, after Mariah crossed and uncrossed her legs, an assistant's arm shot out and tried to pull down her skirt. Moments later, a coat was placed across her lap.
"I'm sorry," Carey said. "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." Berger fumed, "First of all, she was wearing underwear! Mariah was wearing a short dress and she didn't realize it was going to be a telvision interview or that she would be so high up. A one-of-a-kind Dolce & Gabbana shearling coat was placed on her lap." (Page Six) Many thanks to MariahDownunder.com.
