Mariah Carey is reportedly piling on the pounds - and doesn’t care.

The singer, who was at one time equally well-known for her abs as her vocals, is said to be enjoying comfort food while finalising her next album, due for release in September.

A source told the New York Post: “Mariah loves food. Right now she’s making an album and eating everything and anything she wants.

“She has put on about 15 pounds, but she loves the curves.

“She’ll definitely tone up again when she releases her album, but as of now, she’s stuffing her face.”
