Yesterday we learned that Mariah Carey has been appearing in mysterious new TV commercials and today we learn that those commercials were to promote Mimi‘s new gig as the spokesperson for Jenny Craig weight loss. Mariah appeared on The Rosie Show last night to announce her involvement with Jenny Craig (which is going by just Jenny now) and show off her hot post baby bod. MC is also on the cover of the new issue of US Weekly magazine talking about her weight loss. Click below to see Mariah‘s US Weekly coverphoto and watch some excerpts from her appearance on The Rosie Show last night.
“Shake It Off,” indeed! Six months after welcoming twins Moroccan and Monroe, Mariah Carey has lost 30 pounds — and shows off her toned legs and flat stomach in size-6 short-shorts on the stunning new cover of Us Weekly, out now. “I gained an enormous amount of weight,” the Grammy-winner superstar tells Us of welcoming her son and daughter April 30 with hubby Nick Cannon. How’d she slim down? Beginning in July, Carey buckled down with a nutritionist and a workout plan from Jenny (formerly Jenny Craig), keeping to a 1,500-calorie-a-day menu and thrice-weekly workouts. “I feel incredible,” the “Fly Like a Bird” singer tells Us, three months after her body transformation began. She and Cannon, 31, famously struggled to conceive their twins (born via C-section at 35 weeks) after a heartbreaking miscarriage. “It was a huge blessing to be able to have the babies,” Carey says, “But I felt trapped in my body because I couldn’t move.” Adds the once-again svelte star: “I’m proud of how hard I worked to get my body back…I had to do this for me.”
Yes, Mariah looks great … but signing on as the new spokesmodel for Jenny Craig, I mean, WOW! She’s gonna make so much money … I can’t even deal. The official Jenny Craig website has already been updated with their new star:
In case you missed it, E! News offers some excerpts from Mariah‘s appearance on The Rosie Show last night:
Honestly, I never thought Mariah Carey would be the kind of celeb to sign on to endorse a weight loss company … but the time is really perfect for her to do so. After having twins, everyone is well aware that she put on weight … now she gets paid to show off the hot body she now has after she shed all of that weight … and I’m convinced she’s getting paid a FORTUNE! Mariah Carey is among THE smartest business women in entertainment … all of this sounds PERFECT to me. She will make a great spokesmodel for Jenny, you just wait and see.

Am I blind or did they photoshop over her belly button in the cover shot?
And all the rest of her too! Her face looks like 15 years ago and the body 15 lb less than she’s in reality.
Why, oh why can’t she/people at Jenny be happy with reality?
Major tummy surgery. Some stuff on her face too–neck sucking. Tons of botox in her face, it barely moves. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was some boob work. She has no recovered from surgery, obviously. She needed help rising up on those heels to walk across to Rosie.
She looks great!
What a great match!!! Good for her. Jenny Craig is killing it with their spokeswomen lately!!
All I have to say is NO! I am so tired of celebrities who “shed the post baby weight in six weeks”. Mariah always seemed to me to be beyond any discussion of her weight, now she’s in the thick of it … why can’t we just focus on her music and on how hilarious she is when she hawks her goods on the HSN?
Uhm.. yeah. Jenny, and a tummy tuck. I’m sorry, but I would bet my house on it, you can tell by her belly button.
There is no way after having twins, that her stomach would be smooth. She’s definitely gotten a tummy tuck or some major photo shopping.
I’m so tired of celebrities endorsing weight loss crap.
I saw the Rosie episode yesterday. She is NOT this thin.
Come on Hollywood, enough with deceptive photos. we’re all so over it.
Yep you can lose the weight. I don’t doubt with nutritionists and personal trainers and nannies that you can lose the weight quickly but the skin is what doesn’t make sense when you see photos like this. Some women get lucky, but for the majority of women it takes time. The skin got stretched out and when you lose the weight (especially that quickly) the skin does not bounce back and look perfect.
Plus for a lot of women even when they lose the weight and might technically be back to pre pregnancy weight things are different. You just dont’ have the same body anymore. This isn’t bad, it is just life. Photos like this where she has been clearly Photoshopped is an insult and is not healthy to new mothers, a time when depression is so common.
(Sorry is this comes off defensive two babies in less than two years means by body is still adjusting).
I totally agree! I truly wonder why she decided to do this? It’s not like she needed the money and she obviously has enough longevity in the industry that she doesn’t need publicity this desperately.
she looked fantastic on the rosie show. im with you trent, i never saw her endorsing something like this, but it makes sense.
im just glad to have her back, i’ve missed me some mimi.
I’m a negative nancy (I don’t like her!) but I’m betting that’s mostly lipo/surgery.
If she’s nursing, 1500 calories a day is not nearly enough, ESPECIALLY for twins. Hell, I dropped 20-25lbs within 3 months after having my son, and I didn’t do a darn thing but breastfeed. (and I sure as HELL don’t look like that, lol)
US cover is soooooooooooooooo photoshopped! and not too well I gotta say…
Wow, they’re totally trying to compete with Jennifer Hudson’s weight loss with WW. In my (not so humble opinion), Jennifer’s loss is much more significant and believable. Mariah’s 30lbs in 3 months is unrealistic and that cover looks totally photoshopped. :/
I highly doubt Mariah went under the knife for liposuction. She had these babies in April…it’s November. That was seven months ago. I don’t know how people think it’s impossible to shed baby weight after seven months, especially if you’re a super rich diva like Mariah who probably had a personal trainer coming to her house several times a week. People, it’s not impossible if you have the time and money to shed weight.
No one is saying it’s impossible. We’re just saying that there is no way her tummy would look like that if she didn’t have work/photoshop done. None. Zero, zip. Nada.
Why does she still insist on dressing like a 20-year-old hoochie?
Especially a twenty year old hoochie from the nineties.Tube tops and shirt knotted at the waist were over DECADES ago!
Her face is still chubby.
ehhh, she’ll probably gain it back…HAHAHA.
Ugh. What a freakshow. Hollywood is so full of freaks that Botox and photoshop is normal to them. Do they really think we are that stupid? So much for “HEALTH” huh, Maria? You are a joke!
