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!

Jana
