Mariah Carey and Mary Carey--Diva surname fight battles on!
Mariah Carey and Mary Carey are fighting over thier identical surname. Mary calls Mariah, "silly." I say WTF?! I mean come on now Mariah and Mary---figthing over the same last name? You two look nothing alike. I'm quite people are not buying Mariah's records thinking it's Mary or people buying Mary's videos thinking it's Mary! it's the battle of divas at best, lol! Read on for the exclusive scoop reported by AOL Music News, "..."I'm ready to battle Mariah over this because I've been Mary Carey for a long time," Mary Carey told Reuters. "It's kind of funny because I'm a porn star and I've been being myself for a long time. I think she's being silly." ...MARY CAREY and MARIAH CAREY share the identical surname and have first names that are very similar," attorney Robert Becker wrote. And in part because the porn star was seeking the trademark for audio and video recordings, he said, "Confusion between your client and her MARY CAREY trademark and our client and its MARIAH CAREY trademark is therefore likely." Becker also demanded that Mary Carey use her name only for "adult entertainment" and that she not sing or perform music. "This is a technical procedure to stop a trademark registration. Mariah Carey has no affiliation with Mary Carey," said Mariah Carey 's spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik." {source}
