People Magazine Daily: Mariah Carey's London Hotel "Worldwide Scandal"

April 29, 2009

According to Mariah Carey's friend, Jasmine Dotiwala, head of MTV Base in the U.K. and a reporter for The Voice Online, she and Carey hung-out at Claridge's Hotel in London the week of April 1. After only three hours of sleep in their hotel room, Carey woke and played Dotiwala some new songs from her forthcoming album.

Dotiwala said, "We listened to the new music in a manner that I have never been treated to before. It was different, slightly naughty and millions of her fans would’ve loved to see through my eyes at that moment. But if I revealed what we did, there would be a worldwide scandal! What happens in a London hotel room, stays in a London hotel room! I heard a variety of tracks, and there were big ballads, catchy melodic hooks, hilarious and witty wordplay, and clever lines galore.'" Source: The Voice Online

What that quote means we may never know for sure, but there are only a couple things Generation X-ers would consider "slightly naughty" - drug-use; same-sex sexual acts; stripping; general raunchiness or a combination of all of these things. I guess we can leave it up to our imaginations. Although, in the past Carey has claimed to tolerate, if not outright use drugs and has seemingly made references to same-sex attractions.

See the U.K. FHM Magazine May 2005 article where Carey admits to tolerating "things" Snoop Dogg and other rappers smoke.

She told FHM magazine, "I don't think Snoop smokes cigarettes. It may be smoky around Snoop but that isn't cigarettes, and cigarette smoke is the worst smoke for your voice. Rappers smoke things that don't seem to bother my throat." Online Source: Fazed

Snoop Dogg's most highly publicized arrest was on Nov. 28, 2006 outside the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in Burbank, CA. He was booked for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and cocaine, transporting marijuana and having a false compartment in his car, according to the police department.

Carey also referenced her past smoking habit (unknown substance) to a Groove Magazine journalist that was reported by MSNBC on Aug. 28, 2005: “'It’s true. The two lowest octaves are probably there because of the smoking,' a champagne-sipping Carey told Swedish mag Groove, according to a translation. 'But of course it’s not good to smoke. I always had a cold and constant throatache.' So she quit, she said. 'One day I promised God that if he would give me my voice back I would never smoke again. I got three octaves back after quitting.'" Source: MSNBC

Carey has seemingly confessed to same-sex attractions in several of her songs with female rapper, Da Brat. Also, an undercover report from a U.K. National Enquirer Magazine article from April 21, 2008 linked her romantically to female rapper, Da Brat. Source: mariahconnection.com

The real question is: will we ever know the real Mariah Carey?
