"mariah carey" news and stories

• That wonderful Italian delicacy, buffalo mozzarella, isn't living up to its name. Recently the prized culinary delicacy has skimped on its standards, according to authorities who found traces of cow milk in the cheese.
• Raise a toast to Mariah Carey, who is launching her own bubbly. She recently tweeted "ANGEL CHAMPAGNE (ROSE) by MC coming soon!"
• Eight German teenagers were hospitalized after drinking a fiery chile sauce that's more than 200 times hotter than average.
• As if he needed to make himself more swoon-worthy, David Beckham has enrolled in 120 hours of professional cooking classes in Milan to learn to make pasta. He's looking to impress pal Gordon Ramsay when he's done.

And that headline is your first answer in this quiz over at AOL Food (via The Smoking Gun). Match the contract demand with the singer that makes the demand on their contract.

All the same names seem to pop up: Britney, Christina, Mariah, Celine, Madonna, and Paula Abdul. I didn't realize that Abdul even toured anymore, but she actually seems to have some reasonable demands when it comes to dressing room food. One diva demands NO TOMATO, APPLE, OR GRAPE JUICES. And another wants only Diet Coke - IN CANS!

For the record, I only got 3 out of 10. I guess I don't know my divas.

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....
