I remember watching David Letterman one night, and thinking, that is not a good shot of Mariah Carey. The angle of the camera was tilting upwards towards the set, and caught a very bad angle of Mariah’s cellulites.

I also thought that Mariah, you should know better than to wear that skimpy dress knowing that you have gained some pounds. Where was her handler? The stylist that put her in that dress should be fired and not be allowed near an A-list celebrity ever again.

That was in 2005.

So, how did Mariah go from this:

To the cover of March 2007 Playboy Magazine:

There has been a lot of talk about her Morsel Diet after losing 35 lbs within four months in 2005. “I kind of invented it (diet). Basically you can have a tiny bit of everything you want - but it has to be less than a forkful,” Mariah Carey told Life&Style magazine. (Yes, Mariah, starve yourself) She also underwent an exercise regime with her fitness trainer and performed water aerobics. (That’s more like it; now be a good girl and tell the truth as it is)

Dr. Howard Shapiro also claims that he made the superdiva lose at least 10 pounds on his Picture Perfect Prescription Plan.

And my fiance has his own story that is shared by eCanada.com - the famous photoshop diet. Not to be left behind by Beyonce and her Swimsuit Illustrated photoshop cover, there are rumours floating around that Mariah Carey lost her weight by the hand of some creative graphic artists. Now, if life were like that, we would all be superstars.
