Mariah Carey recently announced that, three days a week, she only eats purple foods. She claims that purple foods prevent her from getting wrinkles and switched to the regime after "hearing the food is high in vitamins and anti-oxidants." So, what does she eat on those days? Grapes, plums and beetroot are specifically mentioned, but other purple foods include purple potatoes, red onions, radishes (since they're counting beetroot), kale, cauliflower, eggplants and various berries, too.
Granted, we know that berries are superfoods, but this all sounds more than a little crazy. I wonder if she's including purple cocktails in her diet, too....

Also, celebrities are kind of like purebred animals, complete with idiosyncracies ("muffy only likes to eat wild pheasant!", liver problems, etc.)

I recently read an article about Mariah's dressing room demand list. There are some strange but edible things that have to be exactly perfect or she will have a kicking, screaming tantrum.
