It's good to be Mariah... for real?


When we got word that E!'s latest episode of "It's Good To Be" features Mariah Carey, it got us thinking - is it really that good to be Mariah? Sure, she's got the moolah, a $9 million penthouse complete with Marilyn Monroe's $662,000 piano and that 17-person entourage. And, of course, her talent is undeniable - she's one of the best-selling female recording stars ever and is loved by fans worldwide. Somehow, there's still a little skepticism on our part that being Mariah is all that it's cracked up to be.
Think about it. As if the complete and utter failure of her vanity film "Glitter" wasn't enough, the diva's record label bought out her contract after disappointing sales, she had a very public breakdown that included a really weird appearance on MTV's TRL, she's got relentless paparazzi hounding her, annoying write-ups (like this one) and numerous failed relationships.
"I'm not wacko," she told Larry King shortly after her breakdown. "I mean, we're all a little wacko sometimes, and if we think we're not, maybe we are more than we know." So, are we a little wacko to think that it's not that good to be Mariah? Maybe having all that money, fame and talent makes up for the rest, but you can make that call when "It's Good To Be Mariah Carey" premieres July 13 on E!
