Ms. Carey will be the star of a new eight-part documentary series, “Mariah’s World,” which will follow her as she goes on a tour in Europe and South Africa that began on Tuesday, and plans her wedding to her billionaire fiancé, which is to take place this spring. (No date has been set yet.)

But whatever you do, don’t use the R-word when discussing the series with Ms. Carey.

”I refuse to call it a reality show,” she said in a telephone interview. The series, she said, is all about getting to know her better and not, as she put it, “Here I am, getting my nails done.”

“I thought it would be a good opportunity to kind of, like, show my personality and who I am, even though I feel like my real fans have an idea of who I am,” she explained. “A lot of people have misperceptions about this and that.”

The show began filming two weeks ago, as Ms. Carey wrapped up a Las Vegas concert series, and will move to her international tour with members of her entourage — including singers, dancers and her manager — serving as co-stars.

The series (each episode will be an hour long) is expected to debut later this year, possibly by late summer.

E! is positively giddy at the prospect of showcasing someone with Ms. Carey’s celebrity status, and expressed hope that this will be the first season of a continuing series. “We haven’t seen a star of her level and her history” appear on television quite this way, Jeff Olde, E!’s executive vice president for program development, said.

Ms. Carey’s life has, at times, played out like a soap opera. Her romances over the years, whether with Tommy Mottola or Nick Cannon (both of whom she married) or Derek Jeter, have been prime tabloid fodder.

But even if there are questions about her voice, and her continued ability tosell albums, she remains a genuine global superstar. She has sold about 64 million albums in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and maintains a huge international following.

Am i going to have to watch E! now? wow the things this people make me do.

Lol i envisioned Mariah Carey having vocal cirurgy and then reeducate her voice in a reality show (there would be lots of drama, imagine having to be silent for months, even more someone like Mariah that doens't shut it for a second, like myself, i would kill myself tbh) , and like start from the beginning. Well i wasn't that far off.
