Mariah Carey’s cover art for her new album E=MC2 has just been released — and for the sake of argument, we’re wondering what you think she’s holding. Speculation around the web say it’s fur — which would put her squarely in the crosshairs of PETA. However, it could also be a really furry blanket — which just happens to look like it was peeled off a polar bear. We’re just trying to figure out what the hell E=MC2 means in Mariah terms…could it be she digs it just because it contains her initials?

[UPDATE] Thank you kind readers for shedding light that this is a boa — and does not appear at all to be something related to the fur industry. You rock. You too, Mariah.

    I don’t know what she’s holding. Some kind of white feather boa which were also given out to fans during a recent concert taping.

    As for the title, E=MC2 – her last album was The Emancipation of Mimi.

    E=MC2 = Emancipation=Mariah Carey to the second power.

    Definitely not fur. Being a huge PETA supporter and former vegan, Mariah only sports faux fur.

  • Donnie

    It’s a boa. She’s praised by PETA for her “faux fur” stance and how she donated fur coats that were given to her as gifts. Just an FYI.

    LMAO, do you really see it as fur? you need glasses then, ever heard about boas?????

  • rose

    Mariah wouldn’t dare using fur and it looks like a feather boa type of thing.

    As a knitter and self-proclaimed fiber-ologist, I concur with previous commenters. It appears to be made of what crafters would call “fancy fur” or “fun fur” … boa material (and don’t worry, not the snake).

    Mariah doesn’t wear fur, and she was once a vegetarian. Whenever she’s sent furs, she sends them to PETA and they either destroy them or give them to the poor.

    It’s a boa, she’s using them in all her shoots now.
