Mariah Carey: I have the body of a 12-year-old!

Diva loves her new slimline shape

Saturday, 12 April 2008

At 38 years old, Mariah Carey shows off her new slimline shape on the cover of her latest single Touch My Body. She's pictured starkers, hiding behind a large black hat.

The diva, who has a habit of talking about herself in the 3rd person, is pleased that she's inspired the likes of X Factor winner Leona Lewis, 23.

'It makes me feel old when girls like Leona say I'm their role model,' she admits, 'although I do have the body of a 12-year-old!'

'I'm really proud. I've lost a lot of fat and a little muscle. I did yoga and strength training - my thighs became really hard. Now I have the body I had in high school. My jean size is the same as when I was 17.

'But don't worry: Mariah will never have an eating disorder.'

Rather than show off her new figure out clubbing, she prefers to have fun at home.

'Mostly my friends come over and we lie around and have a pyjama party,' she says.

'There are no guys and we prance around the apartment in our pyjamas, talk nonsense and drink wine. I love that.'

No guys allowed?

'Sometimes there are some. The main thing is that they don't take pictures of us while we're sleeping. Then I would be mad. [She laughs hysterically.]'

So what kind of guy does she like?

'I'm not very demanding,' Maria insists. 'All I want is a man who loves me for myself, who accepts me for who I am and who sees the real me and not the singing freak.'

Recovering from an eating disorder May 28 03:32

Oh, because being skinny is the most important thing in the world? No, she'll NEVER have an eating disorder. I'm surprised she doesn't have one all ready. Most stars do. 1 out of every 4 girls will be touched with an eating disorder. 1 out of every 4!! What has our society come to? Do research. Don't be ignorant. Peace and love.
