Mariah Carey explains why she has no respect for reality TV stars

Mariah Carey was at a press event in Israel recently where she talked about how she disapproves of people who manage to attain celebrity status without having spent years building their career.

“Some people’s goal is to be famous, not to have a craft or an art that they’re famous for,” she tod reporters.

She continued:  “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.”

She added that she thinks there is a difference between wanting to be famous and wanting to be successful:  

"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."

Mariah confessed that she doesn’t think she could deal with being on a reality TV show, “I couldn’t handle having people with cameras on me all the time.”

We can’t imagine Mariah would be in need of a role on any reality TV consider her music career has gone quite well for her over the years.

As of now she’s had 18 No.1 hits and five Grammy awards is quite impressive.

Mariah recently received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and it seems like she would be less than impressed at having to share the coveted real estate with the likes of Snooki, or the Kardashians or any Made In Chelsea cast members.

However, while she may not be wild about reality TV, that doesn’t mean she’s shying away from the scripted kind.

During her Walk of Fame ceremony, it was announced that she would be joining the cast of the hit series Empire for a number of episodes in their second season.
