Mariah Carey Is Playboy's Sexiest Woman in Music and March 20Q in the Annual 'Sex and Music Issue'

Mimi Strikes Some Sizzling Poses and Opens Up on Her Quarrel with Eminem, and Why She is Really a Prude at Heart

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- "She went up to her penthouse, shut the door and climbed into bed with a glass of warm milk and Frangelico. We talked for hours. It reminded me of being in high school and staying on the phone with a girl all night. I think the interview has a very intimate feel," explained Playboy Interviewer Jason Buhrmester when describing his chat with Mariah Carey for Playboy's March 20Q (issue on newsstands and at http://www.playboydigital.com/ Friday, February 9). As hot as Mimi's conversation was, she turned the heat on even more by striking a pose with famed photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani. It is the first time one of Playboy's 20Q subjects has appeared on its cover.

In her sizzling 20Q, the Pop Diva sets the record straight about how she broke into the business, her wardrobe malfunction, and why there is something "clearly askew" with Eminem. Following are selected quotes from the conversation:

On her tiff with Eminem: "Something is clearly askew with him, and I'm not quite sure what it is. I just heard something else he recently said about me. I'm curious as to why he's so obsessed with me. I never got an apology letter, by the way; I don't know what they're talking about. Then again, I wasn't exactly searching my mailbox for it."

On her near wardrobe malfunction: "Oh please, there have been so many. [laughs] On this tour there was a really bad malfunction when my top popped open. It was this little top with a hook and eye on the front. It was a nightmare. The top was so tight that night because we girls have moments when the top might be tighter, but I caught it, and that's how you know a pro."

On if she would ever take a guy home from a club: "I end up being very flirtatious, and people take it the wrong way. I'm very much a prude. But I don't want to disappoint people, so maybe we shouldn't discuss that."

Photography duo Markus Klinko & Indrani have become notorious for producing iconic images. They have teamed with Mariah Carey on more than one occasion including her #1 album, "The Emancipation of Mimi" for which they were credited by many for helping kicking off her comeback with a new look. Since beginning their creative collaboration in 1995, the duo have sent waves around the world in fashion and entertainment. The duo have created album campaigns for Beyonce Knowles, Mariah Carey, David Bowie and The Black Eyed Peas and have shot celebrities Katie Holmes, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Kate Beckinsale, Val Kilmer, Matt Dillon, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z.
