<\/noscript> <\/div>\nSo sweet: Mariah Carey indulged in a Christmas Eve ‘shopping spree’ with her daughter Monroe, 11, during their annual Aspen trip<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Demonstrating their fondness for designer apparel, the mother-daughter duo charmingly matched one another in Burberry wraps.<\/p>\n
As Christmas Eve progressed Mariah was glimpsed heading off on a solo outing to the Aspen outpost of Gucci for a few more goodies. <\/p>\n
Mariah’s spot of retail therapy came the day CBS re-aired her concert special Merry Christmas To All! filmed at Madison Square Garden last week.<\/p>\n
She posted an Instagram snap of her and Monroe proudly holding up their Prada haul and plugged in the caption: ‘Merry Christmas Eve! Little shopping spree before we watch the special tonight on CBS!’ <\/p>\n

The concert first aired on television at 8pm this past Tuesday, and fans who missed it then can watch it now on Paramount+.<\/p>\n
Until recently Mariah was facing down a $20 million copyright lawsuit brought by a writer called Andy Stone who claimed her seasonal classic All I Want For Christmas Is You was ‘derivative’ of a song he wrote in 1989.<\/p>\n
His song was also called All I Want For Christmas Is You, and although the music and lyrics are different he felt he should have the rights to the name.<\/p>\n
However Mariah can breathe a sigh of relief as the filed plaintiff to dismiss his suit in November, according to court documents seen by Rolling Stone.<\/p>\n

Mariah, who according to legend once had a concert rider stipulating she ‘doesn’t do stairs,’ is enjoying a respite from a characteristically packed holiday season.<\/p>\n
Last month saw the publication of The Christmas Princess, a children’s book she co-wrote with Michaela Angela Davis, who also worked on Mariah’s memoir. <\/p>\n
This month she brought her annual Christmas concerts first to the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and then to New York’s Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Along with numbers from her two Christmas albums, Mariah included some items ‘I’ve never performed live before,’ she dished to USA Today.<\/p>\n
She hoped to ensure the performances are ‘as magical as possible,’ citing the affection she feels from her fans, whom she has taken to calling her ‘lambs.’<\/p>\n
‘Oftentimes as a child, or even throughout earlier parts of my career, I did not feel loved,’ she confessed. ‘I certainly never felt unconditional love and that’s what I have with my fans: that connection. So I’m extremely excited.’<\/p>\n

Further in the future, she and her old Precious director Lee Daniels are collaborating on a TV movie based on her 2020 memoir The Meaning Of Mariah Carey.<\/p>\n
When it comes to finding the right actress to play her, Mariah said: ‘I don’t think it’s about “cast the girl who sings the Mariah Carey style,” whatever that is.’<\/p>\n
What she wants is ‘a great actress with a somewhat similar look and just making sure the acting is there. Because we have the music \u2013 they can sing along to it.’<\/p>\n

Mariah, who is currently involved with her erstwhile backup dancer Bryan Tanaka, has tailored her home life around Christmas as well.<\/p>\n
‘When I’m not on stage and I’m in holiday mode, there are rules that I set. I don’t care who it is \u2013 the kids, if I have guests, whatever \u2013 nobody is allowed to play or watch anything other than a Christmas-related thing,’ she said.<\/p>\n
‘If I wake up in the middle of the night and walk into the living room, and the music isn’t playing and the lights aren’t on, I just can’t handle it.’<\/p>\n
