Mariah Carey disses reality TV stars: 'Some people's goal is to be famous' (video)

Updated

Mariah Carey doesn't seem happy to yield the spotlight to just anyone, particularly reality TV stars.

During a recent interview with Israeli journalist Yarden Ben Aviv, the singer responded to a question about whether fame makes people happy by tossing shade on celebrities with no discernible talent.

"Some people's goal is to be famous, not to have a craft or an art that they're famous for," Carey said. "Today, you can be famous just from being on a reality...well, doing... you don't really have to do much, but you kinda gotta do a lot. And then your whole life is just about being a celebrity and that's what some people aspire to, because it's easy and because then everybody knows them and all they see is the bright side of fame. I couldn't handle being on a reality show, I couldn't handle having people with cameras on me all the time. It's already like that, it's too much."
