I’d like to thank the wonderful staff at ELLE for putting together this chic mini magazine about me. Because I’ve been interviewed so many times, we thought it’d be fun to turn the tables and create a little book about some of the things I love. Inside, you’ll get a peek at my New York closet; check out personal photos of me and my husband, Nick; go behind the scenes of my new film, Precious; and hear about my creative process as a singer, songwriter, and producer—past, present, and future. You’ll also find out about my latest fragrance, my travel must-haves, the six items on the top of my wish list, and much more. Before you flip the page, I’d also like to thank Island Def Jam Chairman L.A. Reid, who thought it would be cool to partner with ELLE on this project. Another version of this “Mimi ELLE” appears in the CDs of my new album, Memoirs of an imperfect Angel. Hope you enjoy it. Love ya much!

“’TheImpossible’is verymuchwheremy lifeisrightnowbecause Iamactuallyinlovefor thefirsttime.”
Mariah Carey has sold more than 160 million albums worldwide, and, if radio play for the first single on her new album, Memoirs of an imperfect Angel, is any indication, she’s on the verge of racking up more No. 1 hits than the Beatles. But underneath the pop varnish, Carey’s just a smitten newlywed in the middle of a home renovation, juggling a job and a new puppy. Sort of… &--& Congratulations on the album! Can you describe it? .$ Overall, the vibe is R&B hiphop with a lot of slow jams. &--& Is there a track that holds special meaning for you? .$ “The Impossible” is very much where my life is right now because I am actually in love for the first time. &--& Congratulations on
celebrating your one-year wedding anniversary with Nick Cannon. How’s married life? .$ Amazing—better every day. &--& How do you two spend your free time? .$ We travel a lot. I think we’ve been to over 35 cities already. &--& You just bought a house in L.A. What’s it like? .$ It’s a Georgian manor. We basically redid the entire thing, from the floors to landscaping. Of course, I have the salon and Nick has a basketball court. And I love having the outdoor space so the dogs can play. It’s not too small; it’s not too big—it’s not a monstrosity. It’s a home. &--& You’ve been looking great lately. How do you stay in shape? .$ When I want to lose weight, I’ll avoid carbs and anything fried. I eat mostly soups with protein, and drink lots of water and chamomile tea. &--& You love your Jack Russell terriers. How’s your puppy, Cha-Cha? .$ She’s adorable. Nick got her for me as a present, but she loves me the best! She sleeps in the bed
with me when Nick goes to work. And she gets along with Jack Junior, aka JJ, my other dog. We want to breed them! &--& Tell us about your new film, Precious. .$ It’s an incredible movie by Lee Daniels, inspired by the novel Push, written by Sapphire. I read it a long time ago, and it changed my life. &--& Forget for a moment that you’re an international superstar. How would you describe yourself? .$ Hmm…festive, emotional, creative, “artsy,” a jokestress. &--& How often do you think about music? Is it always in your head? .$ Constantly! It has been ever since I can remember. I always have a song that’s a melody I’m making up, or a song on the radio. &--& You’ve had so much success. Where would you like to be in 10 years? .$ I try to live in the moment. It says in the Bible, Matthew 6:34: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

MARIAH SAYS: “He surprised me with an Asschercut pink and white engagement ring stuck inside a candy ring wrapper! I wrote about it in the song, ‘The Impossible,’ on my new album.” MARIAH SAYS: “I honestly didn’t think it was possible, but I truly found my soul mate. Don’t ever give up hope!” /JDLHBWF.BSJBI UIJTEJBNPOECSBDFMFU GPSUIFJSPOFZFBS XFEEJOHBOOJWFSTBSZ
MARIAH SAYS: “We toasted our vows with a glass of champagne. My new favorite is Angel .”

Nick Cannon— actor, rapper, comedian, Cannon with their first TV show host, Jack Russell and Nickelodeon puppy, JJ exec—talks about how he wooed and wed his celebrity crush. ELLE: How did you know that Mariah was “the one”? NC: I always say grace over my food—it’s the way I was raised—so I bowed my head over my french fries at a meeting with her. She said, “I do the same thing!” and pulled an electronic Bible out of her purse. I never meet anyone in this business who’s on the same level as I am spiritually. ELLE: Are you a romantic? NC: Ever since that first conversation, I would e-mail her daily words of inspiration. After six months, she lost her BlackBerry. I had been saving the Daily E’s, so I had them bound and gave them to her on our one-year anniversary. ELLE: How do you make time to spend with each other? NC: We take two days and just shut everything down. We stay in bed, watch DVDs, listen to music, and eat junk food. You have to have the mentality of, Yo, I’m doing all this to better the union that I’ve created with this person. ELLE: Do you ever play practical jokes on one another? NC: She has this priceless piano, so I made it look like somebody put a wet paintbrush on top of it. She didn’t find that too funny, but I thought it was hilarious!
