Mariah leaves a message for Howard Stern
Radio Mariah is at it again. The aspiring movie star/singer Mariah Carey is leaving messages on her Web site again for anyone who'll listen. You may recall that earlier this summer Carey was complaining that politics at her label, Sony, were preventing her from having another number one hit.
Now Carey, who's been filming All That Glitters since July 29th, has left a new message on a fan's answering machine. Sighing, she announces: "Okay, so now I'm gonnoo [sic] feel totally inhibited about leaving messages on this thing. Because it seems the messages somehow have become fodder for the Howard Stern Show. But anyway, I'm not gonnoo [sic] stop calling or stop reading - get ready Howard - the FAN BOOKS! Which are books made by the fans. Because basically the fan books are more about you guys and how you relate to the music than me. And I sound relaxed because I am - so thank you and goodnight."
Carey is then heard laughing hysterically as she hangs up. What caused all this? Apparently on October 25th Stern played a bunch of Mariah's looney messages on his show, courtesy of a guy named Vinnie Favale. Favale downloads the messages from Mariah's web site, as well as MP3 things and porno.
Stern, of course, went to town dissecting the messages, particularly the stuff about Carey's "fan books." Evidently members of Carey's fan club regularly assemble scrapbooks with pictures of her and them and send them along for Mariah to peruse, Nora Desmond-style, in her free time.
Stern said, "I could play these things all day. They fascinate me." This could be the start of something big. We'll have to stay tuned... (Fox411)
