Mariah Carey‘s older brother just took his defamation suit against the diva up a notch — with new legal papers calling her “vindictive” and implying that she’s a drunk.
In papers filed Tuesday, Morgan Carey blasted Mimi for saying she presented some negative stories about him to “inspire troubled youth.” He says, “It is particularly ironic to hear Mariah assert that her intention was not to defame me. This is coming from someone whose public behavior includes glamorizing her excessive drinking and as well as other behaviors which would be in poor taste to mention here.”
The 61-year-old also notes that Mariah has gone through more than 20 management teams and dozens of feuds as proof of her “vindictive” nature. Morgan is seeking over a million bucks in compensation, because he says The Meaning of Mariah Carey harmed his reputation and caused a potential deal for a film project to fall through.
Morgan isn’t the only Carey angry with Mariah’s book. Their sister Alison filed suit back in February. (New York Post)

On the latest episode of the YouTube series “Hot Ones”ED SHEERAN named three artists that others try to avoid releasing new music on the same day with:  DRAKETAYLOR SWIFT, and ADELE.
Ed said, quote, “But I think every artist, when they release . . . go, ‘What day are they going? Should we? Can we put it out?’ . . . I think every artist does that.”
He added that he isn’t jealous of any of them, IN FACT, he said they make him strive to work harder.
