Mariah Carey, who turned 40 in March, insists she will no longer admit her real age and wants to remain in her 30s for the rest of her life.

(BANG) -

Mariah Carey will never turn 40.

The 'Touch My Body' star - who reached the landmark birthday in March - will never admit her real age and wants to remain a woman in her 30s for the rest of her life.

She said: "Read my bio again. We can't allow these lies to spread! Don't say the F word around me. It's just a number but I don't see why women should have to conform to what is expected of a 40-year-old - whatever that is."

To celebrate her birthday - which was on March 27 - Mariah's husband Nick Cannon whisked her away to Barbados on a private jet.

Mariah enjoyed an intimate dinner party with 11 close friends at the exclusive Wispers restaurant, which was filled with hundreds of pink and lavender balloons.

A source said: "It was important to Nick that the trip be a very relaxing one, where Mariah and her friends could truly enjoy themselves."

At the time, Nick revealed he wanted to treat his wife to a "bald eagle" for her birthday.

But as well as being an endangered species, a "bald eagle" is also a slang term for someone with shaved pubic hair.
