OK, I believe that. She is incredibly vain (the video where she's trying to hide her left side is so bizarre). But it's Mariah Carey. Like celerydunk said, she shouldn't need assistance just to be able to walk in high heels by now. She's quite skilled at it. In the second video, a paparazzo even jokes about her gliding through the airport. For the majority of both videos, she's not holding her handlers' hands. Okay, this just gets more baffling. In the second video she is literally sashaying through JFK in 6-inch slip ons, with no assistance. Is it possible that she has an illness like rheumatoid arthritis or gout that would affect her ability to walk, and because she's too vain for a sensible shoe, she'd rather be carted around? It would also explain her bouts of "puffiness".

If Mariah had some other medical issue, you better believe we would have heard about it. I don't think it's anything more than Mariah making the people around her do ridiculous things to make her feel special. Even during this residency, it's happening. For most of the songs she's either just standing in one spot, moving five feet left and right, sitting and/or someone holding her hand helping her move from one part of the stage to another. I'm not sure what happened; she used to be a better performer than this. HoneyFantasyDreamloverHeartbreakerTouch My BodyInfinityVision Of Love/Love Takes Time/I Don't Wanna Cry

The ones where she is wheeled out on stage are just kind of creepy and/or sad.

Heee, all those song titles sound like celebruty-branded perfumes singers "create" when they are hot.

Stopped reading here: I don't know why they aren't speaking, but him going to the tabloids with this makes me lean towards her side already.

I'm not sure about the Cannon parts of it--I've never understood that pairing, on any level--but I can get onboard with the alcohol/pill addictions. Both are common, she's known to drink a lot anyway... The hop to pills is a very short one. I wouldn't stoop to saying she was drinking while pregnant without receipts, though.

Yeah, it's not hard to believe her brother might be slimy, but, at the same time, she has what appears to be a pretty obvious drinking problem and I can't think of a celebrity who is more coddled and insulated from the real world. One of her producers, who claimed to be an ex-lover, recently did one of these tell-all interviews, and he basically said she has no friends and is surrounded by yes people.

Yeah, it's not hard to believe her brother might be slimy Now if this story were coming from her sister Alison (who has a past that is... colorful), I'd be tempted to roll my eyes too. I read others on discussion boards point out that Mariah had a better relationship with her brother. As for them not seeing each other in two years, well maybe Morgan said something and Mariah froze him out because she didn't want to hear it. Those pills that were mentioned are psych meds. Mariah may have had them prescribed for some issue (she did have that infamous breakdown). However, you are not supposed to mix alcohol and psych meds! (Of course Whitney didn't heed that warning either.)

I'm actually not disagreeing with you there. Running to the media to air your grievances with someone is just off putting, and the media are ruthless towards her. But, I agreed, to the casual observer what he's saying isn't really shocking and sounds like significant portions are likely true. Her new video came out a few days ago and she's drinking champagne in her walk-in closet and commenters on all of the sites I saw the video posted on brought up her drinking issues.
