这位五次格莱美奖获得者告诉你关于荧幕后的故事

ROLE CALL In Precious, a harrowing film about a pregnant, inner-city teenager,which picked up the coveted Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, Mariah strips away the red-carpet glamour to play a supportive socialworker.

“I trusted [director] Lee Daniels totally, even when he put me under fluorescent lights with no makeup, except for dark shadows under my eyes, and a prosthetic nose.”
“我完全的信任导演Lee Daniels,即使他让我不化妆就在荧光灯下,当然要除掉眼下的黑影和划过装的鼻子。”

FUTURE PERFECT
ON THE EVE OF HER HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM, MARIAH CAREY STOPS TO DISCUSS INTROSPECTION, INSPIRATION, AND HER TWO NEW ANGELS
未来完美

“’The Impossible’ is very much where my life is right now because I am actually in love for the first time.”

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…ELLE

ELLE: Congratulations on the album! Can you describe it?
MC:Overall, the vibe is R&B hip-hop with a lot of slow jams.

ELLE: Is there a track that holds special meaning for you?
MC: “The Impossible” is very much where my life is right now because I am actually in love for the first time.

ELLE: Congratulations on celebrating your one-year wedding anniversary with Nick
Cannon. How’s married life?
MC: Amazing—better every day.

ELLE: How do you two spend your free time?
MC: We travel a lot. I think we’ve been to over 35 cities already.

ELLE: You just bought a house in L.A. What’s it like?
MC: 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.ELLE

ELLE: You’ve been looking great lately. How do you stay in shape?
MC: 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.

ELLE: You love your Jack Russell terriers. How’s your puppy, Cha-Cha?
MC: 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!

ELLE: Tell us about your new film, Precious.
MC: 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.

ELLE: Forget for a moment that you’re an international superstar. How would you describe yourself?
MC: Hmm…festive, emotional, creative, “artsy,” a joke stress.

ELLE: How often do you think about music? Is it always in your head?
MC: 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.ELLE

ELLE: You’ve had so much success. Where would you like to be in 10 years?
MC: 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 Carey已经在全球售出了1亿6千万张专辑,如果从电台播放新专辑Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel中的首支单曲开始算是一种迹象,那么这就意味着Mariah开始向Beatles超越拥有更多的冠军单曲。但抛弃一切流行乐坛的东西,Mariah只是在享受她的新婚生活后的家庭装修、愉快的工作和新的小狗……

ELLE: 恭喜新专辑完成!你能描述一下新的声音吗?
MC: 每一首歌都暗含一个故事。就整体而言,专辑包含了R&B,hip-hop以及一些慢拍歌曲。

ELLE: 你是以怎样的心情创作这张专辑的?
MC: 每一首歌都有它自己的心情。有一些歌是融会贯通的,这是目标,但也有一些歌有很大的不同。专辑中包含了一些幽默,你可以听见我在某一点大笑出来,但也有一些深刻反省的瞬间。

ELLE: 有没有一首歌对你来说有特别的意义?
MC: 几乎所有的歌都是我自己写的,所以他们都有特别的意义。但"The Impossible"这首歌代表了我现在的生活,因为我第一次真正感觉到了爱。

ELLE: 也祝贺你和Nick Cannon结婚一周年。婚姻生活是什么样子?
MC: 非常令人惊奇,每一天都很好。

ELLE: 你们两人怎么度过你们的空余时间?
MC: 我们旅行。我想我们已经去了超过35个城市了。

ELLE: Nick有加入到新专辑中吗?
MC: 我们想要做一些合作,但我更希望分享有他陪伴的专辑制作过程。我们有相同的音乐品味,他也是一个爱音乐的伟大DJ。

ELLE: 你刚在洛杉矶购买了一套房产,它是什么样子的?
MC: 这是一个格鲁吉亚风格庄园。我们几乎重做了整套房子,从地板到园艺到衣橱。很多想法都受到我纽约公寓的启发,有一种男、女时装精品商场的风格。当然,我有自己的沙龙,Nick有他的篮球区,那是他在家最爱的地方。我也喜欢有户外的区域,这样能和小狗们玩耍。房子不是太小,但也不是太大,它不是一个巨型建筑,而是一个家。

ELLE: 你想要搬到洛杉矶吗?
MC: 不,我一直喜欢在美国东西两岸工作或居住。我过去来到洛杉矶,我只是喜欢待在酒店或者租用的房子里。

ELLE: 你最近看起来棒极了。你如何保持体形的?
MC: 我想要减肥的时候,我就会避免任何碳水化合物食品和油炸食品。我几乎只吃含蛋白质的汤,喝大量的水以及甘菊茶。

ELLE: 你很喜欢你的杰克罗素梗狗(Jack Russell),Cha-Cha是怎样的一只狗?
MC: 它非常可爱。Nick将它作为礼物送给我,但它非常爱我!当Nick去工作的时候,它和我一起睡。现在它在和Jack Junior,也叫JJ,我的另外一只狗相处。我们想要撮合他们。

ELLE: 恩,因此你现在特别的快乐,并且也完成了一张专辑,你有没有想过要好好休息一阵?
MC: 我一直在做很多有趣的事情,我也为其乐此不疲,比如拍摄电影Precious。这是Lee Daniels执导的一部非常优秀的电影,改编自Sapphire的小说Push。我阅读了很长一段时间,它改变了我的生活。大家都应该读一读。

ELLE: 忘记你作为一个国际超级明星的身份,你如何描述你自己?
MC: 恩……节日气氛、充满情感、富含创造性、“扑朔迷离”、喜欢开玩笑。

ELLE: 你通常多久创作你的音乐?还是它一直在你的脑海?
MC: 不间断的!这从我开始记事起就是如此。我总是不断的有旋律从脑中流出。音乐是我的一部分,而且永远是。

ELLE: 你已经取得了巨大的成功,接下来的10年你会怎么做?
MC: 我过好每一刻。圣经Matthew 6:34说:“所以不必担心明天,因为明天会担心它本身。每天已经有了足够多的麻烦事。”

Nick Speaks! Nick 说

Nick Cannon - actor, rapper, comedian, TV show host, and Nickelodeon 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 them entality 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!
