Pop diva Mariah Carey says she is writing a book. Oh dear.

They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, so it could be bad news for Los Angeles-based Australian gaming billionaire James Packer, who was engaged to the unpredictable songstress in 2015 only for the whirlwind romance to end in 2016.

Packer has called his engagement to the volatile star (which came complete with a whopping $10 million ring) a “mistake”, with the union ending following an intervention by Packer’s close friend, father figure and fellow billionaire Kerry Stokes.

Packer has revealed his side of the failed fairytale to our esteemed colleague Damon Kitney in his ripping Packer biography The Price of Fortune.

Now Carey, who remains a firm friend of Packer’s also former mate Brett Ratner, is having her turn at publicly defining their history.

Oh dear, indeed.
