FOR years people feared angering Mariah Carey by photographing her wrong side, but the diva was scared herself.

Asked about whether she has a good side for snaps she explained a scary woman but that fear into her.

It is a rumour - thats true," spilled Mariah whose right side is usually pictured.

When I first went to my first record company Sony the woman who worked in the art department said, this is your good side, never take a picture on the other side. She made me really fear the other side. I stuck with it because I realised they were right.

Back with new song Sugar Sweet, Mariah loves leaning into her diva reputation: You have to be born a diva.

If you cant have somebody doing the wind machine for you what do you do?

A new album Here For It All, her first in seven years, will follow soon. Asked why it's taken so long Mariah responded: "It was just getting it together. I would make like four songs, then think 'oh we can make an album' and then would never do it. I got up to ten songs and I was basically ready."

Mariah famously doesn't believe in time and refuses to have any clocks around the home but it's got nothing to do with trying to stay young.

She revealed: "When i was 18 I didnt get a record deal right away and I was very sad so i said I dont want any more birthdays, I dont want to do this again and that's what I did."

Meanwhile another pop diva, J.Lo celebrated a birthday this week with a new song.
