You thought this was about weeing? You sicko. Get out.

Mariah Carey has parted company with over half-a-million dollars, receiving a piano in said cash's place. But wait, do, for this piano is no ordinary piano (well, it is really; it's not like it can fly or anything). This piano was owned by Marilyn Monroe (note picture of said dead person).

Carey bought the piano at an auction in New York last week; the final price was a cool $662,000. She said afterwards:

"I could have gotten the 'Happy Birthday, Mr President' dress or whatever, but that would have represented Marilyn Monroe's stardom. The piano belonged to her mother and was a piece of her childhood."

Aaaaah, so it was her mother's piano? Mariah, they saw your loaded ass coming - I could have sold you my girlfriend's mum's piano for, I dunno, a fiver. But no, always with the rash cash splashing down Christies or wherever. Tsk already.

Mariah on Starvation:

"When I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean, I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
