This is what happens when you’re surrounded by sycophants who tell you look fabulous when they should be telling you the truth!

Mariah Carey took a break from swinging in a fairy forest and was out on the beach yesterday in Los Angeles with her Hello Kitties hanging out all over the place, shooting a music video for her new single H.A.T.E.U. in a too-small bathing suit cut down to her navel, along with some serious bling. You know, just normal Mariah beachwear...video shoot or no video shoot. The photo agency's caption explains the situation like so: "the Precious pop star oozed glamour." We're not sure if that's exactly what she's oozing…but I'll stick with glamour!
