Mariah gets back to it

Wearing her patriotism proudly and sporting a smile, Mariah Carey made her first public appearance after her very public breakdowns back in July. The star was surprisingly up front about her ordeal. She said, "I feel good. You know, I wore myself out, like usual, working too hard. I've learned that that's not going to happen anymore."

Just weeks after a reported relapse, the singer turned actress was released from a UCLA hospital, ironically on the day of the tragic attacks last Tuesday. She faced her fans at a radio promotion last night in Los Angeles, for her first movie "Glitter", a feel good movie about a struggling singer who makes it against all odds.

She says, "A lot of people said, 'Oh it's her life story.' I am like, honey believe me it's not. But it's a good story and it's something that I think is inspiring." And Mariah hopes her movie will lighten hearts during this sad time. She says, "I try to make people happy because life is too short to not do that."

Mariah is also contributing to tonight's unprecedented TV tribute to raise money for the victims of last Tuesday’s attack. She's singing her classic song, "Hero", which now takes on a much deeper meaning. Mariah's main message last night was that her recent problems are nothing compared to what's going on in this country right now. She said, "I don't feel it's even appropriate to discuss my problems right now with what's going on in the world because it puts your life in such a real perspective."

And she's putting her money where her voice is by donating a portion of the profits from "Glitter" CD sales to the relief fund. By all accounts, Mariah Carey is back, doing just fine and doing for others.
