MARIAH CAREY - CAREY TO BECOME FASHION MODEL

Pop diva MARIAH CAREY is considering expanding her talents to modelling, after her newly-svelte figure sparked a string of high-fashion offers. The WE BELONG TOGETHER hitmaker - who has dropped 20 pounds (nine kilograms) over the past few months - caught the attention of prestigious design label Louis Vuitton when she filmed the promo for new single SAY SOMETHIN' in the chain's Paris store. Carey's spokeswoman says, "Until now it's not been something she wanted to do, but it seems the time is right. She's got quite a few fashion labels after her and we are in talks."
