Nope, folks, here’s my scoop: That gigantic 35-carat “diamond” engagement ring Aussie billionaire loverboy JAMES PACKER slipped onto Mimi’s dainty digit is a total PHONY every other time ya blink, mate!
Say WAAAAT?? Explained My Gem Yenta: “That crazy giant rock James gave Mariah is so incredibly valuable — worth an estimated $10 million — that she fretted about wearing it in public.
“So Clever Grrrl had an exact non-precious replica made and wears the flashy fake when she travels, performs or attends functions.
“But the real deal REALLY makes Mimi squeal!
“She loves flashing her diamond/ platinum sparkler whenever she’s with very close pals, alone with James — or even just by herself — gushing that it makes her feel like a million bucks!”
It's perfectly normal when you have jewels of that value, celebrities do that all the time, it's very risky going around with that kind of jewels even if you have bodyguards and things like that.
I remember some time ago, they robbed an Indian Princess of all her jewels (20 million dollar) in a luxury hotel.
So she had a fake one made to wear in public out of fear of it getting lost or stolen? That's smart, Bey did the same thing with her ring. I can't imagine walking around with something THAT expensive on my finger and not being stressed out 24/7.
