MUMBAI: Singer Mariah Carey says she takes bath in cold milk because it helps her look youthful.

"Yes, sometimes I use milk as a beauty treatment. I bathe in milk. I don't want to give away all my secrets," theguardian.com quoted Carey as saying.

While she had told that uses cold milk for her beauty treatments, on being asked if she uses mineral water as well, she said, "Well, I guess if there's no clean water and I had to use mineral water, maybe I would."

There were reports that she once asked for 20 white kittens and 100 white doves to be in her dressing room when she turned on the Christmas lights at Westfield shopping centre in London in 2009.

On this, the Mariah said, "No, 20 cats is an absolute lie. I'm not a cat lady. I don't have one cat anymore."
