Mariah Carey: divalicious

Diva is as diva does, and Mariah Carey is still all that. The five-time Grammy Award-winner, one of the world's best-selling artists, late on Sunday night showed once again she has more to offer than a five-octave vocal range, including the whistle register.
In a two-hour segment on the American Home Shopping Network, HSN, Carey punted items from her own collection, including jewellery, shoes, fragrances and bags. She also debuted her first apparel range. Carey, 41, got candid in her first major appearance since the birth of her twins, Monroe and Moroccan, in April. She was charming, funny and down to earth - with loads of attitude, of course.
Apart from constantly directing cameramen to avoid close-ups and to take the focus off herself, Carey ordered models around and spewed one-liners that are already being lauded and lambasted in equal measure on the internet: "Why are you not wearing diamonds from head-to-toe?", "I didn't know there was math involved!"
Carey, who's already managed to lose a lot of her pregnancy weight, explained: "There's always drama. It follows me." Speaking to a caller - a lamb, as her fans are known - Carey revisited her appearance on the channel in February to promote her jewellery line. "Honey, it was bleak for me," Mimi said of carrying twins. "I was so uncomfortable back then. My body went through so much. Holding those twins in - you have to keep them in as long as possible. It's a sacrifice you make for them. Literally I was like, 47-weeks pregnant. And anybody pregnant right now, there's push gifts here. Tell your baby-father."
Carey continued, "Everyone was always saying to me, 'Oh but it's all worth it.' And I was like, 'Yeah, well it's easy for you to say when you're not the one whose feet are this big.' It turned into a really difficult time. Being pregnant with twins is different to anything."
Arguably her biggest release, Carey gave birth on her third wedding anniversary with hubby Nick Cannon, who surprised her on the show. The powerhouse diva is also reported to be working on a new album, which could be out by the end of the year, and is still rumoured to be involved in some capacity with the US X Factor version.
