Mariah Carey says writing "saved" her as she used poetry and music as an escape. The 52-year-old star has penned new children's book 'The Christmas Princess' about a 12-year-old girl called Mariah who is rescued by her music, and she has noted some parallels with her own life. The 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' hitmaker explained while the story is "a fairy tale", there are some similarities.
As well as the character's "shack", her mum is called Diva, while Mariah's actual mother Patricia was an opera singer.

" Referencing the book's character, she noted: "Her music rescues her. It's not a Prince Charming who comes in. She saves her own day.
" Meanwhile, Mariah - the self-professed Queen of Christmas - admitted another festive holiday gave her the spark to start writing the book. She explained: "It was two years ago at Thanksgiving, and I was making a pot of greens. They were so good we named them the Anointed Greens.
"Cooking for my friends and family, everything that I was doing at the time, I thought, 'Wow, this is so different from when I was little.

These give new meaning to the phrase “dad jokes.” Nick Cannon‘s ever-growing family has become a fascination for stars and social media users alike, but the Wild ‘N Out host is taking it in stride.
Keeping it real! Shortly after Nick Cannon welcomed baby No. 11, his third with Abby De La Rosa, he’s opening up about his child support arrangement.
Wild ’n out. Nick Cannon has a large brood — as the father of 10 children and two on the way with five different women — and he shares one-quarter of those kids with Abby De La Rosa.
The Queen of Christmas is back with a two-hour primetime concert special next month.
She’s an author — with a clear goal! Mariah Carey loves the message behind her The Christmas Princess children’s book, but she was against adding page numbers to the finished product.
In today’s strange sparring news, two divas are fighting over the holidays. And by that we mean they’re fighting over the holidays!
Nick Cannon has confirmed he has another baby on the way. The 'Masked Singer presenter has taken part in a pregnancy photoshoot with Alyssa Scott, the mother of his late son Zen - who died of brain cancer last December aged just five months - just a week after the model had revealed she was pregnant, but hadn't named who the father was. For the shoot, the pair posed nearly naked in a bathtub, with one of Gabriel Villalobos' photos showing Nick kissing Alyssa's bump while she stood with just a towel over her hair.
Nick Cannon has confirmed he is expecting another baby with Alyssa Scott. Last month, the model took to Instagram to share that she was pregnant, nearly a year after the death of her and the TV host's son Zen. Tragically, the little boy passed away at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
The songwriter who accused Mariah Carey of ripping off her festive hit ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ from an earlier song he wrote of the same name has voluntarily dismissed his song theft lawsuit.Vince Vance sued Carey in June explaining that he co-wrote a song called ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ back in 1989, a version of which was recorded and released, enjoying “extensive airplay”, in 1993. That was the year before Carey released her album ‘Merry Christmas’ on which her much more famous song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ appears.Carey’s hit, Vance argued, was a derivation of his song, but no permission was ever sought to exploit his work in that way, which means his copyright was infringed.
