Mariah Carey is turning heads and raising eyebrows for her role as a social worker in the indie drama "Precious." And that's just based on the still images and videos of a very haggard-looking Mariah with mouse brown hair and swollen eyes, served with a side of bags underneath them.
It's hard to imagine that someone as meticulous about her looks as Mariah Carey putting aside her obsession with looking perfect. After all, this is a woman who refuses to take photographs from certain angles and demands a wind machine at all of her music videos. But for a brief moment, she put aside Mimi the Diva and became a Jersey sewer rat trying to help out a troubled young girl. Mariah bragged about putting away her made-up ways to the media. Watch.
The real question is, how did this make-up last? I bet inbetween takes Mimi was sniffing concealer and smearing lip gloss on. Of course, let's not pat Mariah too much on the back here. Going "ugly" gets many a Hollywood dame recognition and rewards (Halle Berry, Charlize Theron) so Mimi's not looking ugly for nothing. Academy, are you ready to nominate Mariah Carey for an Oscar? Why not, they threw Beyonce a bone.
