Mimi Strikes Some Sizzling Poses and Opens Up on Her Quarrel with
Eminem, and Why She is Really a Prude at Heart NEW YORK, Feb. 6
/PRNewswire/ -- "She went up to her penthouse, shut the door and
climbed into bed with a glass of warm milk and Frangelico. We
talked for hours. It reminded me of being in high school and
staying on the phone with a girl all night. I think the interview
has a very intimate feel," explained Playboy Interviewer Jason
Buhrmester when describing his chat with Mariah Carey for Playboy's
March 20Q (issue on newsstands and at
http://www.playboydigital.com/ Friday, February 9). As hot as
Mimi's conversation was, she turned the heat on even more by
striking a pose with famed photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani.
It is the first time one of Playboy's 20Q subjects has appeared on
its cover. In her sizzling 20Q, the Pop Diva sets the record
straight about how she broke into the business, her wardrobe
malfunction, and why there is something "clearly askew" with
Eminem. Following are selected quotes from the conversation: On her
tiff with Eminem: "Something is clearly askew with him, and I'm not
quite sure what it is. I just heard something else he recently said
about me. I'm curious as to why he's so obsessed with me. I never
got an apology letter, by the way; I don't know what they're
talking about. Then again, I wasn't exactly searching my mailbox
for it." On her near wardrobe malfunction: "Oh please, there have
been so many. [laughs] On this tour there was a really bad
malfunction when my top popped open. It was this little top with a
hook and eye on the front. It was a nightmare. The top was so tight
that night because we girls have moments when the top might be
tighter, but I caught it, and that's how you know a pro." On if she
would ever take a guy home from a club: "I end up being very
flirtatious, and people take it the wrong way. I'm very much a
prude. But I don't want to disappoint people, so maybe we shouldn't
discuss that." Photography duo Markus Klinko & Indrani have
become notorious for producing iconic images. They have teamed with
Mariah Carey on more than one occasion including her #1 album, "The
Emancipation of Mimi" for which they were credited by many for
helping kicking off her comeback with a new look. Since beginning
their creative collaboration in 1995, the duo have sent waves
around the world in fashion and entertainment. The duo have created
album campaigns for Beyonce Knowles, Mariah Carey, David Bowie and
The Black Eyed Peas and have shot celebrities Katie Holmes, Lindsay
Lohan, Britney Spears, Kate Beckinsale, Val Kilmer, Matt Dillon,
Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, Mary J.
Blige and Jay-Z. DATASOURCE: Playboy CONTACT: Jessica Sigelbaum of
