Mariah Carey, Donita Rose, Brown Monkey...
This was not so much a malicious hoax as it was the product of much-exaggerated tabloid reportage. Mariah Carey didn't say or do any of this. Don't believe it, don't forward it.
Dear Fellow Filipinos,
It is truly unfortunate that MARIAH CAREY is Racist against us. In one of her concerts she asked her audience if there were any Filipinos among them.
A jubilant section of the crowd cheered because these Filipinos thought they were being acknowledged, the ice cold Mariah said in a wicked voice and shout "GET OUT". This made the Filipinos loose face.
Another incident happened on an MTV Asia interview in which Mariah was interviewed by Donita Rose. Mariah was asked for a commentary about Asia's Songbird and the Pride of the Pride of the Filipino people, Regine Velasquez. And she hissed at Donita by saying our beloved Regine, is "a brown monkey who can sing." I personally found her comments very insulting since I am a Filipina myself. I hope everyone who reads this spreads the word and boycotts her albums. If you want proof of these allegations go to abs-cbnnews.com and click on celebrities.
Please pass this message to all your FILIPINO friends.
The story was actually published on ABS-CBNnews.com. But after some time, the article turned out to be the product of unprofessional journalism on the part of the ABS-CBN celebrity reporter. Alleged sources of the misinformation vary, usually pointing to an unidentified tabloid with references to elements in the local PR industry.
ABS-CBNnews.com has since then put out an article which, though not exactly apologetic, debunks the rumors and sets the record straight.
Donita Rose's disclaimer in the Philippine Star says that she never had such an interview with Mariah Carey. "The said article claims that international superstar Mariah Carey made a derogatory remark when asked to comment on our own Regine Velasquez during an interview I supposedly conducted for MTV Asia. This alleged interview never took place except in the fertile minds of people who have not bothered to check their facts and made me an unwitting party to a distressing situation."
It's important to ask when you receive this kind of message: would a professional, world-famous artist like Mariah Carey deliberately self-destruct her career by being so blatantly racist? If she did, wouldn't such an act make headlines in entertainment news around the world?
Mariah Carey herself is heir to a mixed racial heritage, with an African-American father. It's unlikely that someone who has grown up with this knowledge, fully aware of the prejudice that accompanies such a background, would herself become prejudiced against other racial groups.
I also advise some discreet caution when reading ABS-CBNnews.com's entertainment section. This isn't the first -- or last -- time it's happened. Come to think of it, I'd advise that for any "showbiz tsismis"-type feature.

What I think
Regine is feeling maganda and ang yabang yabang niya akala niya maganda siya hindi naman talaga at provocative pa minsan ang damit niya di naman bagay! even my mother tells it nga na ganoon talaga siya ang maganda sa kanya boses hindi mukha
