David LaChapelle to Shoot Mariah for Christmas Album

Citation :

Celebrity snapper David LaChapelle mentions Mariah in his interview with
Times Online. Below are excerpts.

In less than 12 hours, Mariah Carey will
arrive at David LaChapelle's Los Angeles studio to be photographed for
her Christmas album. LaChapelle chastises himself for telling me ("it's
meant to be a secret"), then shrugs: "Well, I've told you everything
else." We've been together all day at his home, by his pool, in his
bedroom and now at his cacophonous, warrenous workspace, ricocheting
this way and that around a life of sex, death, celebrity, drugs,
depression, art, disco and — he insists — miracles.

On a series
of stage sets, as his friend Michael Jackson's songs pound from the
music system, LaChapelle's team are garlanding fake windows with lights
and arranging presents under a hideous silver tree. LaChapelle's close
friend Sharon Gault, Madonna's former make-up artist (and his
"unofficial wife"), is organising food. Carey, says LaChapelle, "isn't a
diva. She never pisses on the little people." There is a graffitied
city backdrop of night-time blues and sulphurous yellows. Fake snow is
in bags. "That's pretty," I say, looking at wooden cutout reindeer.
"Mariah wanted real ones," LaChapelle says, rolling his eyes. The boyish
47-year-old photographer is in jeans, scrappy T-shirt and hoody and
speaks in a spacey Californian drawl. "Flown from Nebraska. Can you
imagine, real reindeer?"

Well, yes, we can imagine. LaChapelle is
famed for his gaudy, extravagant, some have claimed grotesque and
empty, celebrity portraits; although he says he has mostly given them
up, and now takes pictures only of favourites such as Carey and Lady
Gaga.

[...]
At about 1am, Mariah preparations wind down.
LaChapelle is going out ("just for a minute or two") to a club. He
grimaces at his photographs being described as camp or kitsch. "They're
just words which mean people don't want to look. I've seen people stop
and look at my work in galleries. Not just at the bodies, the genitalia,
but really look." If he's the cartoonist his critics claim he is, he's a
serious one and obviously happier with his work on gallery walls than
in magazines. But you know that, through his lens, snowflakes whirling
and tinsel shimmering, Mariah will never look more Christmassy — even if
the reindeer aren't real.

Carey Looks To Adoption?

Mariah's riffing on 'Always Be My Baby' with hubby Nick

At her marriage re-commitment fete Friday with Nick Cannon at their
Beverly Hills home, Mariah Carey spoke openly about the couple's deep desire to have a child, a guest tells me.

The singing superstar's recent weight gain has reportedly been due to fertility treatments Carey has been undergoing.

"Not that a few extra pounds on Mariah bothers Nick at all. He likes his woman with a bit of meat on her bones," the friend said with a laugh.

While Carey has continued to hope she and Cannon can conceive a baby, she also reportedly is now looking into adopting.

A number of Carey chums report the entertainer has been deeply moved by the story of Sandra Bullock's long-secret adoption of little Louis -- first revealed publicly last week in that People magazine cover story.
