BILLIONAIRE and entertainment mogul James Packer is dating American songstress Mariah Carey according to close sources and the invasive photographers who captured photos of them holding hands in Capri, Italy.
It is believed that the pair are sailing around the Mediterranean on Packer’s yacht, with the couple soon bound for Cannes and St Tropez.
However sources can also confirm that the passionate romance shared between the two is no where near as physically erotic as James Packer had imagined when he first saw the video clip for Mariah Carey’s 1990 R’N’B classic, Vision Of Love.
“James was imagining something a bit more like the live concerts and hyper-sexual dance routines he grew up watching on ABC’s RAGE”
“Unfortunately for him, it seems like this is just a normal relationship with normal levels of realistic intimacy,”
While Mariah Carey remains a musical icon throughout the world, it is common knowledge that Australian men in particular have a highly sexual fascination with the Venezuelan-American pop princess
“Mariah was Australia’s answer to Marilyn Monroe” says Sydney University Psychologist, Ingrid Doulton.
“In her heyday… She kept plenty of young Aussie blokes up late, if you know what I’m saying”
Professor Doulton believes that Mariah Carey’s status as a sex-icon could very well be the driving force behind James Packer’s glamorous antics as a generous lover.
“I imagine, like my sons, James would have spent hours in the shower thinking about Mariah”
“I used to have to snap my sons blankets in half and throw them into a skip bin, I know of plenty of mothers that had to ban Mariah’s Christmas album. That skimpy santa dress was very unsettling for my boys”
However, even as reality sets in, it is believed that James and Mariah are the real deal.
Carey is the Packer’s first public girlfriend since his shock split with model Erica Baxter in 2013.
The 47-year-old Crown Casino’s boss was dating Australian Victoria Secret’s model Miranda Kerr last year, although both publicly denied they were ever together.
