Hey, look, it’s a press release from Vibe: “International superstar Mariah Carey will grace the cover of VIBE Magazine’s June 2008 issue, which hits newsstands on Tuesday, May 6th. The sultry songstress heats up the pages of the magazine’s summer issue as she models some of the season’s hottest swimwear revealing her recent weight loss.” Gosh, I hope there are diet tips in there too! (And that they go beyond “Get someone well-versed in Photoshop to prep your cover shot!”)
What’s interesting is that in the “sneak peak” (sigh) of the article given by Vibe editor-in-chief Danyel Smith, there isn’t one mention of weight loss, unless the reference to Einstein’s 1905 paper “Does The Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?” is a sly way of mentioning the incisive look at Mimi’s daily caloric intake-to-activity ratio that this story will supply. Ah, talk about missed opportunities! I for one would love to watch as yet another music magazine gets swallowed up by the public’s lack of interest in music and increasing trainwrecky fascination with the celebrity-industrial complex in real time.
Me And Mariah [Vibe]
Man, Mariah. Uh, what were you saying, Maura?
“Sneak peak” makes me want to scream.
@ Chris N.: I know. How can we stop this scourge from taking over the world?? I see it in way too many places. (I’ve already given up on the rampant misuse of “disinterested” and “begs the question,” but this is a bridge too far.)
I’m sorry- I don’t want to see Mariah flaunting her spectacular body on anymore magazine covers, especially Vibe, especially with the cheeseball layout. I guess I’m a little disappointed in Danyel Smith, here.
