Oh, Mimi. What are you doing? It’s November, for goodness sake. Granted, I’m still wearing flip-flops in Virginia, so it‘s probably not that cold in Malibu. But I’m not a diva. And I’m not campaigning for an Oscar. Put some clothes on! Also, Us Weekly put these photos up with a link to a story called “See celebs who are tired of being called fat”. Rude much? Mariah doesn’t look fat to me. She’s curvy. She has a lovely, voluptuous figure. She just needs to learn what clothes are flattering on her figure. Usually she packs herself into some too-tight dress that makes her look like a stuffed sausage, or in this case, a really unflattering halter swimsuit which is cut badly for her figure.

Mariah was filming a music video for her song “H.A.T.E.U.” I’m not sure how Mariah in a halter cut down below her navel really helps, but she may be trying to convince us that she’s not pregnant? While she was on last night’s Larry King Live (full transcript here), Larry asked her about the pregnancy rumors. Mariah replied: “Right now? I’m going to take a swig of my scotch and let you know… [being pregnant] would be the happiest thing in my life, but what I’m saying is right now with this movie [Precious] coming out, with the next few singles from the album and those things that I’m doing, I need to focus on that because I cannot do the having-a-child thing halfway.”

Mariah also admitted to Larry that she had been “emotionally, mentally” abused in relationships, saying: “Well, it’s scary…You know, I just think you get into a situation, and you feel locked in if your situation is similar to one of the situations that I’ve been in which I won’t harp on.” Larry asked, “No, you don’t have to, but it is hard to get out?” Mariah replied: “For me, to really get out it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage but a business thing where the person was in control of my life,” Carey added. Good Lord, is she talking about her first husband Tommy Mottola? I’ve read interviews with Mariah before where she alluded to the idea that Mottola was a very controlling man, but I’ve never heard her allude to Mottola being abusive. Interesting.

Here’s more from the Larry King interview:
