André Leon Talley pushed MARIAH CAREY to lose weight?

On the Oprah show Mariah Carey revealed her pain by acting out how she was told to lose weight in the Vogue editor's voice. Carey added a Darling and Winfrey chimed in.

The Glitter singer - who has shed two stone - reckons she couldn't be happier now she is the same size she was when she was 16.

She said: "My jean size went down to my 10th grade size. I got tired of people telling me: 'You need to lose weight.'

"That's what inspired me.

"For me, it's not about a number on a scale. It's not about necessarily even a size. It's about feeling good and being comfortable in your own skin. Right now, I feel really great. I feel better than I've ever felt."

Curvy Mariah told US OPRAH WINFREY how a French diet and fitness guru has helped her lose unwanted pounds.
