Mariah CareyMariah CareyAnyone interested in a good reason to bunk off the gym now and then?

Well, we may have Mariah Carey to thank for a bit of a cheeky excuse.

Talking to the Daily Mirror, the pop diva revealed that she's worried about losing her gorgeous curves.

The lady known as Mimi said: "I've been working out like mad - you can even punch me in the stomach and feel how tight that is.

"But I've gotta slow it down, cos the other day someone told me I was losing my ass - and I don't want to lose that."

A lesson to us all - stop fretting about our bottoms and embrace them... figuratively speaking.

Mariah was talking about her shrinking butt at an exclusive post-Oscars bash in Beverly Hills.

The man in question? Yes, it was the love of her life, her pooch Jack, of course.

The Grammy-winning songstress said: "He's waiting for me in the jet, as we're flying to Paris to shoot the video for my new song Say Something."

Oh, to be a celebrity.
