Mariah Carey strikes a luringly charming pose on the April 2008 cover of Allure Magazine.

In her interview with the mag, she gets candid and dishes out lots to know like her being understood as a scatterbrain, low self esteem issues, her stunning new bod; and more…

“It’s a dichotomy, I understand,” she tells Allure. “I understand that people think I’m a ditzy moron.”

Still choosing to see herself as, “eternally 12,” Mariah calls herself a button-up girl prototype, despite wearing the dangerously short mini she wore for Saturday Night Live on mar 15, where she performed “Touch My Body,” and “Migrate,” from her brand new disc.

“I’m Mary Poppins: I’m what the button-up girls are supposed to be.”

“I’ve always had really low self-esteem, and I still do,” she admits. “What’s weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It’s hard for a partner to compete – just imagine.”

How hard is it to buy the fact that the luscious Mimi, has never had a one night stand?

Presumably, not too hard after she proclaims herself as a, “freakin’ prude.”

Work Issues…

“It’s not that difficult to become exhausted,” she says, alluding to her meltdown in 2001. “I have three personal assistants just to keep up with my schedule!”

And of course, the newly acquired ‘Fine Bod,‘ is courtesy her personal trainer…

“I don’t know why everyone thinks I lost 30 pounds,” she says. “This trainer has actually helped me reshape my arms. That’s where I gained most of my weight: upper body. That’s just one thing you have to lose weight for.”

Mariah’s new album titled “E=MC2,” which follows up after the success of her previous album, “Emancipation Of Mimi,” which sold 10 million copies worldwide and won three Grammy Awards.

E=MC2 is her 11th studio album which is scheduled to hit stores on April 15.

Stunning actress, Jessica Alba dazzles in a strapless Gucci dress, and the ever growing and adorable baby bump, on the cover of Elle magazine for February 2008.

The engagement to boyfriend Cash Warren (son of actor Michael Warren), whom she met while making ‘Fantastic Four’ in 2004, and their first child who is due in early spring or summer of 2008, are two sweet joys this year has bought in for her.

She starts of saying, “I’m reading this dumb book, and it’s getting in my head,” as she digs through her giant studded Gerard Darel bag. “I was so nauseous reading this while I was on the bike today,” she says about the book which became an instant best-seller when Victoria Beckham was photographed carrying it.

Alba reads from the chapter concerning slaughterhouses,.. “cows and hogs are then ’strung up’ from the ceiling by a chain attached to their legs. In theory, while they dangle there, they are supposed to be unconscious. But often they are fully conscious, struggling, screaming, and fearfully staring at the workers while they have their throats stabbed open.”

Well, lets just add that up to the fact that keeping fit with refreshing workouts at Emerson Hall Fitness does come in handy for her.

Here’s what she wore for the issue’s shoot…

Printed silk and viscose dress, Chloé, $2,025, at Chloé, Las Vegas. Crystal bracelets, Tom Binns, $575-$675. Patent leather sandals, Burberry, $750.
