What a stupid statement. Her diet has nothing to do with anything, not that she's ever been fat, you think that just because she has apparantly been overweight at times (that doesn't mean fat) that she is lacking in charity effort?

Just some of her contributions:

Quote:

Mariah Carey became involved with the Fresh Air Fund in 1994 when she joined the board of directors after donating $1 million to help build the fund's camp in Fishkill, NY, now named Camp Mariah.

Camp Mariah is the centerpiece of The Fresh Air Fund’s Career Awareness Program. Camp Mariah provides three-and a-half week summer camp sessions for nearly 300 boys and girls. Camp offers a unique setting for young people to enjoy career exploration and preparation for the world of work. The summer program is both educational and recreational. In addition to career awareness, boys and girls enjoy traditional camping activities including hiking, swimming and singing around campfires. The Career Awareness Camp is named in honor of board member Mariah Carey for her generous support and dedication to Fresh Air youngsters.

The Career Awareness Program offers a curriculum at Camp Mariah that introduces young people to specific career fields, such as science and technology, communications, and health and fitness. Campers attend classes and workshops in creative writing, journalism, photography, television and video production, fashion design, dance, computers, and more. All classes provide an opportunity to teach young people about the wide range of career possibilities available to them.

On September 20, 2001, Mariah Carey announced a contribution of $100,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, to grant wishes related to the performing arts nationwide for children with life-threatening illnesses. Such arrangements, where a benefactor designates significant funds to underwrite a specified type of wish experience, are typically made by the charity with corporations. Ms. Carey's commitment represents the first of its kind from an individual celebrity in the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America's history.

Quote:

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Administration for Children's Services (ACS) Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta named Mariah Carey Celebrity Spokeperson for NYC Foster and Adopted Children on September 20, 1998.

Ms. Carey worked on behalf of New York City's 41,000 foster children by recording a Public Service Announcement to help recruit new foster and adoptive parents. She helped celebrate ACS' record-breaking number of adoptions at the City's 21st Annual Adoption Fair on September 27, 1998 at City Hall Park.

Quote:

VH1 Save The Music Foundation is a non-profit initiative with two primary missions: To restore music education programs in America’s public schools, AND to raise awareness of the positive impact music participation has on students.

Mariah Carey has been one of Save The Music Foundation's longest supporters. She was part of the first Public Service Announcement series, raising awareness of Save the Music; she participated in the very first VH1 DIVAS LIVE benefit concerts in 1998 (and performed again in 2000). She has donated items for annual auctions, made public appearances to speak out on behalf of the foundation and has visited public schools where music programs have been restored

The above example from http://www.themariahnetwork.com/info/charity.html

She's also received awards, taken part in fundraising and awareness campaigns and mentions/uses the african orphan choir that she favours whenever she can. So what exactly was your point?

Yes it is, in Shakira's case. What's she's doing is undeniably good, it's good cover.
