Mariah Carey has a notorious reputation for being a "diva," some might even say a "bitch." One of the oft-cited evidences of her divaness is the fact that Mimi would insist on being photographed only from her right side. (The other evidence of her divaness is the insistence on wind machines at all photoshoots, music videos and performances, but asking Mariah to drop the fans would be like asking Hillary Clinton to give up pantsuits.)
Well, playing ugly in the critically-acclaimed film "Precious" has helped Mariah to shed all of those insecurities. US Weekly is reporting that Mariah is now available to be photographed from all angles. Source: USMagazine.com
"I don't feel like, 'Oh, I have to be on this side, or I have to be on this side' -- I really had specific things that someone told me when I was 19 starting in the business and I listened to them ... I don't care anymore," Carey, 40, tells the Associated Press.
Good for Mimi. It only took her about 20 years to stop being so self-conscious, but the tortoise finally crossed the finish line. Now that she's not worried about shots being taken from the wrong side, Mimi is going to need to head into crisis mode with her record label to figure what the hell they're going to do now that "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" looks poised to debut in the #2 slot behind Paramore. Ouch.
