Mariah Carey Refuses to Step on Scale  6/21/06

Newly svelte singer Mariah Carey has no idea how much weight she has lost, because she refuses to step on a scale.

The Don't Forget About Us singer has recently slimmed down and developed her muscles - and she insists she looks so good, her weight is irrelevant.

She explains, "I don't even own a scale. Here's the deal. Muscle weighs more than fat. So why torture yourself with a scale?

"If your clothes fit you better then you lost some weight."

And the star is baffled when she reads reports commenting on her exact weight, when she herself has no idea what her weight actually is.

She adds, "I think they randomly pick a number and go with it."
