Not dolphin friendly

The only mammal capable of producing a higher note than Mariah Carey is apparently a dolphin - and the dolphin is also a better actor than the star of Glitter. But let us not say a bad word about the world's biggest-selling female artist. Hello! certainly won't, noting that she "bears no physical resemblance to the aforementioned sea creature".

Not looking like a dolphin, however, has not been enough to silence Mariah's critics. Her fall from grace in 2001, when she suffered a breakdown, "was greeted with an unpleasant tone of exultation in the press, as if a jumped-up bimbo with airs and graces was getting the comeuppance she richly deserved".

Where the press got that idea from we can't imagine, but Hello! takes exception to the notion that she is an "airhead diva with an attitude" and has "her every outrageous demand catered to by a supplicatory entourage". Rather she is "friendly, considerate, intelligent and articulate" - and she doesn't look like a dolphin.
