Mariah Carey flaunts her flat tummy in bikini


She dropped 70 pounds after giving birth to her fraternal twins, Monroe and Moroccan. And nearly two years later, Mariah Carey flaunted her flat tummy and ample cleavage in a red bikini on an Australian beach this week. The 42-year-old pop star flew Down Under with her husband Nick Cannon and "Dem Babies" after their Christmas holiday in Aspen in order to perform a series of shows in the Gold Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne.
 The former Jenny Craig spokeswoman, who kept her tiny denim mini-skirt on for the candid snap, appeared to be enjoying her sandy break from the mini-tour. Mariah has received lackluster reviews for her shows, which critics have labeled "awkward", "unrehearsed", and "uneven".
 For her concert at the Gold Coast Convention, Mariah arrived late and stopped the music at one point due to technical problems, according to the Toronto Sun. "I'm not asking for the moon and the stars," Carey said onstage. "There's a lot of sound problems going on here. I don't know if it's me or you, or something in the air, but can we fix it?"
 The Grammy winner with the five-octave vocal range will soon return to the set of the 12th season of American Idol, which premieres January 16, alongside judges Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban. However, Mariah felt it was so "unsafe" working with the outspoken Super Bass rapper, she beefed up her security team while working on the Fox talent competition.
 "It felt like an unsafe work environment," she told Barbara Walters on Good Morning America Monday. "Anytime anybody's reeling threats at somebody, you know, it's not appropriate. I'm a professional - I'm not used to that type of environment." Carey added: "Sitting there on the road with two babies, I'm not going to take any chances."
 According to Radar Online, Minaj snapped at the Vision Of Love crooner during the October auditions in North Carolina. "I'm not f***ing putting up with her highness over there - figure it the f*** out, figure it out," the 30-year-old singer allegedly said.
 Nicki reportedly threatened to pull a gun on Mariah, but she has since denied the claim. "For all the drama, I hope it helps the show," the mother-of-two told Walters. 'I think it's a classic, classy show and it didn't need this." She is also working on her new album, due out in March.
