R&B songstress Mariah Carey has threatened to sue a porn star to stop her from trademarking her similar-sounding name.
The diva says she’s scared fans could get her confused with Mary Carey if the trademark application goes through, especially as Mary wants to use the trademark for making songs and movies.
But the blue movie star says the threats don‘t scare her: "I'm ready to battle Mariah over this because I've been Mary Carey for a long time," she says.
"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."
Her lawyer adds he thinks there’s little chance of Mariah winning a court battle over the names.
"My first thought was, does Mariah Carey realise what her lawyer is comparing her to and are they seriously concerned?" David Beitchman says.
"Do they seriously think the fans are going to be confused?"
