Mariah has gone on record as saying she prefers the company of her dog, Jack, over having any children of her own.

“It’s definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff. The whole not wanting to have a baby as a baby,” she told the UK version of OK magazine.

I believe this about her dark little world completely.

There has always been something tragic about Mariah - almost as if it were a mist in the air around her that screams she’s had a really rough life. It was evident even back in her early 90’s singing days, when she was stick-thin and working herself to death.

It doesn’t matter how much money she’s got or the fact that she can’t go to the bathroom without 15 hairdressers, 12 bodyguards and 10 stylists in tow. Hey, she passed Elvis Presley with her 18th top single, “Touch My Body,” and is now shooting for the Beatles’ record of 20. The girl has both skills and goals.

So what if Mariah doesn’t want to have kids? Dogs are very cool. They’re low maintenance creatures and they love you no matter what. How many kids can you say that about?
