Mariah Carey: 'Glitter' Was a Lighthearted Distraction From 9/11
12 April 2005
Superstar Mariah Carey can see a positive side to the critical-mauling and poor sales of her Glitter film and soundtrack album - it cheered up Americans following the September 11th attacks. The semi-autobiographical film was released only a month after Mariah Carey's much-publicized breakdown and ten days after the terrorists attacks in New York and Washington DC. Mariah Carey tells the New York Post newspaper, "The problem was Glitter was about a diva moment. It was too close to my life. Another thing that people don't remember about Glitter is that it came out the week of 9/11. The movie became a pressure release for everyone dealing the intensity of the attacks. Glitter was the safe joke of the day."
