Panache Report - 03/10/08

Update from Panache:

The person in the BI is not white. Not Whitney, not Brandy, not Jada. Not Tyra. It's not Tracey Edmonds.

A poster on Panache found this on Mariah Carey's fan club website concerning her brother Morgan:

After the divorce, Mariah's oldest brother remained with Mariah and his mom (Patricia). He used to suffer from epilepsy. His serious epileptic fits caused him to have some relationship problems. He eventually turned to drugs and delinquency. Fortunately, he pulled through it. Today, he is a fitness instructor living in Los Angeles. Besides, he fitted out the fitness room in Mariah's new apartment. However, Mariah confessed that she didn't use it very often.

Diana Ross? She has a few brothers.

I still think this is Lil Kim.

Vanessa and Christopher Williams?

[Jupiter Jones]

This has to be someone who can actually afford to do this. Unless she's notted, I'll guess Mariah too.

Good find, Judejack. And him being a fitness instructor would explain the steroids comment in the blind.

I immediately thought of Julia Roberts. Doesn't her brother Eric have a past of abusing women?

[SweetPea]

very famous female celebrity

This makes me think of Mariah too.

I just dug up something else on the abusive past of Morgan Carey from Rush & Molloy 1997:

BY GEORGE RUSH AND JOANNA MOLLOY with Baird Jones
Sunday, June 22th 1997, 2:02AM

As if Mariah Carey doesn't have enough concerns, her brother was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday. Morgan Carey, 36, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon at his L.A. home, after allegedly shooting at a friend with a 9mm automatic at 1 a.m. during a dispute, police said. Lawrence Dwonch, who was unhurt, was also arrested, charged with threatening Carey.

Carey spent the night in L.A. County Jail and was released the next day on $30,000 bail.

Questions posed to the singer's spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, got a firm "No comment."

The pop diva just announced a separation from her husband and boss, Sony Records chief Tommy Mottola, and has been showing the strain with an apparent weight gain.

Carey, 27, has long coped with family problems. In 1994, her mother, Patricia, had to fight Mariah's sister Alison, an HIV-positive recovering drug addict and former hooker, for custody of Alison's 7-year-old son. In 1981, Morgan Carey admitted during the murder trial of Virginia Maddox that he had accepted $1,200 to kill her husband, but never had any intention of carrying out the murder.

The platinum-selling Mariah has said of her older brother, who battled cerebral palsy to become a physical trainer, "He was my hero growing up."

Yet another reason to hate Mariah (like her singing wasn't enough).
