James Packer has been swotting up on Mariah Carey.
Music aficionado James Packer wants you to know that his girlfriend Mariah Carey is a “genius”.
He clearly hasn’t seen Glitter.
“She’s a genius and has had more number-one singles than any other artist… I mean, 18 number-one hits, that is just so incredible,” he gushed to News Corp.
Packer is faithfully traipsing around the world as part of Carey’s entourage, most recent stop: Israel.
Carey performed in Tel Aviv for her first Israel show on Tuesday and according to her boyfriend, she killed it.
“Yes, yes, yes, I loved it and it was a magic night,” said the completely impartial billionaire.
A picture of Carey in the foreground and an ecstatic Packer watching her adoringly from offstage seems to support this statement.
He’s just about at the Tom-Cruise-couch-jumping stage. We would recommend he lets it all simmer down a little before undertaking any more interviews.
Also, James Packer reckons Mariah Carey is heaps better than Madonna, which is such a coincidence because Mariah Carey is also of that belief.

Well... he's not wrong, is he? Mariah is a better singer than Madonna - although it hasn't hurt Madonna at all! And why should he play it cool? He's in a new relationship, he's excited and happy, why shouldn't he express that? Don't we want men to be more open with their feelings, more emotionally available? Poor blokes can't win, can they! Don't say anything, and you're withholding and unemotional. Say 'too much' and you're gushing.
I get that the article is probably a bit tongue-in-cheek, but maybe we should be celebrating that fact that a guy is just really happy about his new relationship - and not afraid to say it.
