THE SINS OF THE MOTHER

If Mariah Carey is really so very worried that being born to a famous mother would ruin a child's life, why doesn't she just stop putting on the push-up bra and making records? Indeed, Mariah says she's so worried, she's prepared to wait until her career dwindles before embarking on starting a family. So, that's about two years ago, then. Here's how Mariah explains it all:

"For me, it's a very big commitment to have a child. Even just as a famous person, to bring a child into the world, you have to think about how to explain it to them, because they're not choosing to come into the life of a celebrity, they're going to be born into it.

How terribly difficult it must be, being a famous person. And to think most mothers on the planet think they've got it tough trying to make the food and money stretch - they should try raising a child with a busy OK Magazine schedule to keep to.
