Mariah’s Musical Weight Loss Plan

The news update on Mariah Carey’s official website is making the claim “It has been proven that singing along to Mariah Carey’s ballads can increase lung endurance… thus modifying the time of the average work out by up to 20% longer.” While actually being credited to a site called Melt-Away.com, the item has drawn the attention of MSNBC gossip reporter Jeannette Walls, who leads her Monday column with the info claiming the singer is “turning to desperate measures to sell her albums.”
