MARIAH CAREY - CAREY BLASTS SIZE ZERO

CAREY BLASTS SIZE ZERO

American singer MARIAH CAREY has blasted the size zero craze and is urging women to "embrace" their natural physiques. The Hero hitmaker, who unveiled a svelte new look at VH1's Save the Music gala in New York on Thursday (22Sept07), admits to living on a "bleak diet" to maintain her figure. But Carey, 37, vows never to starve herself to become a "stick figure girl". She says, "My secret is bleak diets, I still feel like I have a way to go. "I don't feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically. "I'm not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It's just not me."
