“Tell me what you see when you look at me.”
The above may have been demanded by her husband’s former flame Christina Milian, but it’s a statement Mariah Carey needn’t ask today, as the world already the knows the answer to it.
You ready for it?
FICTION!
Yes, in giving ‘Murder She Wrote‘s Jessica Fletcher a Usain Bolt-sized run for her money, Mimi continues to serve up fiction in abundance with her recent shoot for ‘Wonderland‘ magazine.
Unfortunately, said fiction hasn’t gone do too well with the folks over at ‘Jezebel’, who have slammed the singer for her shocking use of ‘Photo Shop‘ in the snaps.
What they had to say on the matter?
Read below…
In article named ‘Retouch My Body‘, the publication shares:
Terry Richardson shot Mariah Carey for Wonderland magazine’s summer issue and, according to the unretouched images obtained exclusively by Jezebel, it would seem that Uncle Terry’s point-and-shoot-built-in-flash style isn’t flattering enough for publication.
Perhaps what’s most striking about these images is how much color correction is used, almost like everything in the frame (save for the white background) needed to be painted back to life. Even Mariah’s makeup needed to be digitally added after getting so washed out by the flash. (And you know that woman does not cut corners on her glam squad and has the best makeup artist that money can buy.)
What’s supposed to be so remarkable about Richardson’s signature style is how his otherwise amateur methods, when used to shoot high-profile celebs, create uniquely candid portraits that appear to be at once documentary and aspirational. His bare bones sets and harsh flashes suggest a spontaneity that is meant to imply the authenticity of that particular moment. But this doesn’t seem very authentic at all.
Waddamess.
Seriously, one has to wonder why the icon continues to put her goodies on display if she- rather unfortunately- isn’t comfortable with them being on display in the first place.
Alas, for one reason or another, it’s clear that Carey has a desire to be seen as sexy by the masses, and it’s this desire that sees her “let it all out” only to “edit it all out” once she’s done.
Pretty sad, when one realises just how different things would be for Mariah if pulled the plug on her attempts to sex it up and posited herself as a youthful yet accomplished Pop diva.
See the difference?

Worry about Rita whora’s new flop single
BYE
Photoshop in photoshoots are not new and Mariah still got great skin and a nice womanly body.
Touch ups are the norm in most publishings.
TGJ aka That Mariah Cl-it Juice posting negative stories about Mariah ? I’m so shocked. Not. TGJ stays pressed against Mariah’s c***-oris. Pathetic haters.
How can i be sure, that those “fat” pictures of Mariah are real “unretouched” ones, made by Terry Richardson, and wasn’t actually edited by some nobody called Jezebel to create scandal from nothing? Seems fake.
Hilarious!
What’s hilarious is how much Hagdonna has to be retouched in her professional pictures. Otherwise she’s look like the 80 year old crypt keeper that she is.
It doesn’t hurt me honey.
Kii!
However lets not act like all of our faves photoshoots are unedited
Let’s not act like Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, etc. need it as much as Mariah. We’ve seen Rihanna practically naked on the red carpet and still as beautiful. Everyone knows that Beyonce has a killer body which you can see LIVE at her concerts! That is not the case for Ms. Carey. She needs to get it together.
Bye, a paragraph about nothing. Lots of photos are retouched to perfection. U want hits & need a story, cause u ain’t getting any traffic.. These pics aren’t even that photoshopped pressed a**.. Everything Mariah warrants a write up. This site is just trashy.. And pathetic..
She should seriously find a seat. QUICK. Embrace what you have Mariah, you’re still a beautiful woman. Ufck society. #PrettyHurts
Kill society haters
Rita Ora’s single flopped hard.. Where’s the write up for that.. Check Mariah’s recent pic out, she’s smaller than these pics..
I can’t stop laughing ::lol::
This post will be the death of me ::lol:: ::lol::
Everyone uses photoshop in magazine shoots
Beyonce photoshops all the time but TGJ doesn’t blast her smh.. yall love dragging this woman
Um everyone photoshops. You’re not better than TGJ.
But Beyonce hasn’t been slammed by critics for it.
Beyonce can take a sh*t and it will cause a controversy. Leave her out of this one.
I want to drag Mimi now but first of all, you guys are late, and second of all, Jezebel is delusional. They did the same with Lena Durham and her Vogue spread, and all of their readers dragged them for it. You would think after that, a so-called “feminist” website would just accept the fact that what they did was actually very misogynist and all around stupid considering EVERY magazine uses photoshop to an extent but no, they do it again. I can’t at them using the “~we want every1 2 feel better about themselves!” excuse when all this is is just shaming other women.
Sorry for the rant. Anyways, the photos actually look much better and clearer after all the photo correction. Terry Richardson is a s*** photographer.
Sam, clearly you’re desperate, and as Mariah, would say, “Thirsty.” I mean, yes we see what she’s did, but YOU. You go out. Like really, why did you call her catfish carey. Sam, you’re so pressed.
Smh why can’t you clowns leave Mariah alone but then again she is not
Bothered by all of this negative press
She’s in her penthouse or mansion that costs more than y’all make in five years
Counting her money and planning a bright future for her adorable kids
Yall know sam is thirsty for them hits.
Like Iggy is thirsty for credibility.
You’re always bringing Beyonce’s name into something. You’re a little jealous b****!
Damn! The struggle to look slim is so real.
Oh pls leave her alone. she has had the perfect body for years so let her be normal it not like she is Adele’s age or just starting out. instead of this why not write a post about rihanna tweeting and deleting #freepalestine after 8mins. P.S since jlo knows the site, could it be she is paying for all this stupid stories? “
That was for Mole
Here piggy piggy.
Did your ghostwriter write that one up for you?
molly leave beyonce out of it. You are always on twitter calling everyother artiest but your fav a flop.
What is Jezebel? Never heard of it. Not credible and show me an unphotoshopped photo shoot of a star.. PLEASE!!! Every star is retouched. Anyway we alroeady know when Mimi does photoshop she OVERDOES it so this isn’t bad. She is pretty either way. Seems like yall are pressed for a story today.
I can’t wait for the VMA AWARD normination to be out today. i hope beyonce slays.
MORE AWARDS THAT SLAVEYONCE HAS TO BUY
dont you ever get tired of hating on beyonce??hell,even blue ivy rodriguez has slowed down on the hate,,why do you always have to be so hatefull?
She is a fraud
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZmPjqUapYg
Fantasia doesn’t use photo shop so yall can sit with that whole everyone uses it s***. Fanny is O naturow ok?
hahahaha!
.
Sam, leave Mimi alone!
LOL THE LAMBS ARE IN HIDING NOW PROBABLY CANT FACE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PHOTOSHOP OBSESSED WHALE THEY STAN FOR
Absolute DEATH! There are levels to photoshop and everyone knows Mariah uses such extreme photoshop she looks like she has another persons body. Its ok to touch up some flaws the camera picks up but it should still be an honest depiction. Mariah hasn’t mastered that.
Tbh, I don’t know why Mariah photo-shops! She looks good for a 45 year old woman that just had twins. Also, this has to be the most ridiculous/thirsty post in TGJ HISTORY
Don’t get mad at TGJ for doing what most normal media outlets are doing: Reporting this. It was a major headline on Daily Mail.
Looks like the typical photo shop done for any magazine editorial. She looks pretty much the same aside from the terrible lighting which is completely due to the photographer.
Oh and I know TGJ loves to try (and fail miserably), but Usain Bolt isn’t a long distance runner (he’s a sprinter), so using him as a metaphor for “reach” doesn’t work. TGJ pressed as usual.
And DEAD at ya’ll using CD Dion’s as an example. Have you b!tches seen what she looked like before all the plastic sugery?
I don’t c why this is a story. Every single person using retouching. Even regular girls from around the way. Go to IG and u see it all the time. Why is it such a big deal when Mariah does it? I’m a huge beyonce fan and even she retouches her pictures. As a matter fact there are no photographers allowed at her concerts anymore and she has to approve any image put out. With that being said I’m sick of this culture of tearing people down for how they look and unrealistic expectations of beauty. I wish photoshop was never created. The world would be a much happier place if everyone could see people for how they really are and stop striving to achieve standards of beauty that aren’t even real. As a son and older brother of a younger sister and uncle of a niece I don’t want her growing up feeling any type of way about her body. People change. They get older. Life happens. I get this is probably for some traffic hits for the blog but what is truly the point of this article ? To tear down?
Go tell that to “Daily Mail” and “The Huff Post” cause they also made an article about it.
@molly
youre so jealous and such a hypocrite L M F A O!!
Mad cause Ciara is a non factor in the Music Industry?
Nothing will save her catastrophic career. I’m waiting for the season premiere of “The baby Mamas of ATL” . That might be the only way to feed n support her baby.
This was a dumb post. But I love the shade thrown at the end with Celine’s picture LOL.
Oops. I saw this on another site. Don’t know why people are angry as if That Grape Juice are the only ones reporting it.
Why are people mad at TGJ for posting this? It’s the front cover story of “Daily mail” and Huffington post. Don’t be mad at David for doing his Job. Get over it kids.

So y’all wanna defend Mariah, but God knows if it was Beyonce …. lemme stop.
Believe it or not but I swear to god
She WILL make a comeback again. She
will no longer bow to this negativity.
Number 1 rule in Big Ol MiMi’s book:
Never let b.tches count you OUT.
And number 2: You can never write
off talent. Enough Said.
blame wonderland not her. whatever. every mag does it. where’s the news here?
I’m no Mimi fan but Sam…. This is a little mean:'(
Well,she still looks good…She looks better in jeans and a fitting top
Go on social media and look at the avatars of those who constantly call other people fat,ugly etc….Joan Rivers,Wendy Williams and Perez Hilton are always the first to mock peoples weight and looks,see the irony
The worst is that they are even bitching over common eyeshadow and a piece of weave..oh Jezebel
B**** NOT CATFISHCAREY!!
I’m deceased!!!!!!!!! I love MC but dam I’m weak. TGJ gets a mf W today.
A little disappointed but lets not act like everyone hasn’t used photoshop. Madonna is the queen of this and no one ever says anything. Let’s not!
Lol! Photoshop can be realistic. Mariahs is not.
Honestly, why do people tear women down? She’s beautiful, and it’s ashame that this article is meant to tear a woman down; to fit some unattainable perfection. If this is a huge mistake on her part. Then it’s the same as everyone who wears makeup or a push-up bra or even high heels. We all have our flaws and probably mine would need the entire Pixar Studios to correct but aren’t we all guilty of adding a little filter these days? It’s fine; and lastly TGJ has been really negative of late towards a lot of stars. The reason I often read articles on this website is because they are written with humility and honesty. Now your falling on the verge of Mediatakeout. Keep doing your thing Mariah!
Out of the history of photshop, this is the less. If you think your fave or anyone on a cover isn’t shopped, then you’re madly mistaking.
Photoshop is the norm so I don’t see the big deal in this article…but hold up am I the only one who thinks Mariah has ugly ass kids?
I’ve only been following this site for about 4 months. It seems that the authors here have something personal against Mariah Carey. MC lost her appeal for me years ago, but this site’s constant criticism of her seems excessive. It reminds me of S**** Rose’s obsession with bashing Beyonce (the reason I no longer support her site. TGJ, if you’re reading this, please stop this. It’s degenerative and just plain boring.
You know what…I COULD but I won’t because EVERY d*amn body is photo shopped for anything released to the public. And you’re a fool if you think other wise. I just met an artist the other day and his skin was flawless on his album cover, magazines etc. Then I met him and he turned out to be….a HUMAN with flaws and all. Stop being so d*mn hateful and delusional. Yeah she needed EXTRA help during her binge eating stage but she’s lost weight sense then…
Another Mariah basing post from That Hate Juice and the masses are clearly tried of the entire ordeal. In “entertainment” who does use Photoshop so there’s really no story here.
That Hate Juice isn’t about real singers are musicians, just look at the flops they support, so there’s no validity behind a “Music blog” that does everything but support real “talent”!

I went to the album release party that night and there were no tears in bet dress or etc. The gut is obviously fake. Mariah’s gut doesn’t hang like that. I should know she (surprisingly) came around to greet, take pics, and hug everyone. I know spanx when I feel it, and she didn’t have it on nor did she look like that. TGJ actually should feel ashame. They just want those hits and I’m actually shocked at the level of maturity that the commentors took. Looks like the gimmicks are getting old. P.S. Here’s a pic
from that night…
http://instagram.com/p/qiP_T_xPfr/
I hope the linkworks. That guy was on the sidewalk and took that pic of Mariah off guard.
Oh God…
Yes,shes overweight…big deal!
If she looked a bit chubby on the pics yall would be like ”why couldnt they slim her down”. Big effin deal….
Like… is this the end of the world or something?
I’ve seen alot of people on fb who actually talked about the whole unrealistic image of todays stars instead of talking about is she fat or not.
And yes,every damn picture that gets pressed out is PHOTOSHOPED!
Each and every one. Thats part of the busyness
I used to be a huge Mariah fan. I do sorta still like her music, but the image she has had for the last 17 years is f****** retarded, and its gotten progressively worse over time too. She’s pushing 50 and she’s still pulling the “I’m s***” thing. No one cares. I can see why Tommy Mottola told her to cover her ass up, because if he hadn’t, she would have been going buck wild.
Hmmm… Are you f****** serious now???????? This much photoshop is used for EVERY celebrity, especially that age. That Celine photo you gave as an example: do you think it isn´t retouched??????? In Mariah´s case is more the weight (although when she loses it she looks gorgeous, like last year for #beautiful for example) and in Celine´s case it is the face, colour,etc. In Madonna´s case her face and arms, etc.
You are obsessed with Mariah!
How can i be sure, that those “fat” pictures of Mariah are real “unretouched” ones, made by Terry Richardson, and wasn’t actually edited by some nobody called Jezebel to create scandal from nothing? Seems fake.
