Father's Day woe
Say a prayer for Mariah Carey's dad. The "Glitter" star has hurriedly flown back to New York from the Italian island of Capri to be at the side of her hospitalized father, Alfred Carey. "He is seriously ill," Carey's rep, Cindi Berger, confirmed to us. "She has visited him daily, and she's planning a special surprise to lift his spirits on Father's Day."
Alfred and his famous daughter had been estranged until recently. An engineer, Alfred and his wife, Patricia, a singer, divorced in 1973. Mariah was 3 at the time. "When I was younger, I saw him every week, and after that I didn't see him for a long time," Mariah once remarked. But "over the past few years, they've gotten quite close," said Berger. She declined to identify the illness. (New York Daily News)
