Dear Vocalist and Melanie:
Oops! According to the Urban Legends Reference Pages (http://www.snopes.com/), this quote is a hoax. The item never appeared in USA Today, and poor Mariah never made those comments on CNN. Sorry!
But thanks, Melanie, for trying to put a smile on our faces on this chilly Friday afternoon!
Cheers!
