Mariah's Man U mission
She's had a run of bad luck with men but Mariah Carey hopes to rectify the situation by tracking down her ideal mate. Blokes around the country will no doubt be quaking in their boots but fear not, the wacky warbler is setting her sights high and going for the posh, chivalrous type... a footballer. According to one of 33-year-old Mariah's pals, she's fed up with being single and now wants to be treated like the princess she is.
We think she may be a bit deluded. After all, players aren't known for their respect, wit, charm and IQ but Mariah's still determined to score with one. And as a result, the singer - once married to ex-Sony boss Tommy Mottola - has invited the entire Manchester United squad to her concert, part of her four-date UK tour, in the city on November 1. Not choosy, then.
"There's one player she's nuts about," her friend tells us. "But she's not sure if he's single, so she's being careful about making a move. Obviously, if he turns up at the concert without a girl in tow, things will be much easier for her. It's about time she got herself a new boyfriend." We're not convinced a footballer is ideal boyfriend material but as she's supposedly dated Eminem and was engaged to Luis Miguel, dubbed the Mexican Elvis (the mind boggles), it's never straightforward in Mariah's weird world.
"I don't meet any men," she whines. "Where am I supposed to meet them? I'm always surrounded by bodyguards." However, with a glint in her eye, the old romantic predicted: "I'm sure that one day I'll meet the right man." So who is the lucky lad she's so intent on meeting next month? Goldenballs David Beckham was United's top totty but as he's now in Madrid - and with wife Posh - it must be one of the other stars. Most are facially-challenged apart from the lovely Ruud van Nistelrooy, but he has a girlfriend, so who can it be?
"I'm not saying any more," adds the source. "She'll kill me if I say who he is but it's bound to be obvious when they meet." Hmm, interesting. In a recent interview, Mariah also claimed she has only slept with "three-and-a-half" men so it appears she has a penchant for vertically challenged men, too... (Sunday Mirror)
