Mariah Carey wants to date a fellow celebrity, because only a man living in the media spotlight can understand the perils of fame.
The R&B singer has remained largely single since her 1998 divorce from Tommy Mottola, former Sony Music chairman, and insists any future boyfriend would have to be famous to be able to get along with her. She says, "That's a big deal for me - feeling like somebody else can't fully understand me because they're not in show business. "It shouldn't matter, but it does, because the energy it takes to be 'on' is a lot."
