Mariah Carey’s Blatant Attempt to Distract Us From the NYE Disaster

Please Subscribe: https://goo.gl/ONDGRM Mariah Carey is tired of talking about 2016, dahlings. The singer’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performance was a disaster, which left her “mortified,” and now she’s ready to change the conversation. The diva, who has weathered more than a few headline-making moments through the years, worked to do just that on Wednesday by posting a photo of her annual hot tub plunge — gold bathing suit and all. “Aspen moments,” is how the “We Belong Together” songstress, 46, captioned the photo, which showed her smiling brightly, but looking a little rough in a metallic swimsuit, which was not on properly — with unfortunate results. She pulled one strap down — maybe to show a little cleavage? — making for a lopsided look. Her hair was in her face as she cheesed for the camera, which also captured a bottle of what appears to be alcohol sitting on the ledge behind her. Perhaps the Mariah’s World star took the photo after her visit to the marijuana dispensary? Either way, the photo, which she probably hoped would help bury her other drama, was a departure from last year’s hot-tub pic. (Yes, it’s a thing. Every year, Mimi — who has been dating her backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka, since her engagement to billionaire James Packer ended over the summer — takes bathing suit photos in snowy Aspen, where she spends the holidays.) Back then, she was in a new romance with Packer — about to be engaged — and her photo was considerably more pulled together. She wore another gold swimsuit (how many does she have?) that accentuated her chest as she playfully struck a pose with snow in her hands.
