I Recently Caught Up With...

Mariah Carey, who told me the wildest Valentine's Day story. In 2009 she and her husband, Nick Cannon, lit candles and had just started exchanging gifts when the presents went up in flames! Mariah saved the day with water from the roses she and Nick had given each other. Who knew this singer and mom was also a firefighter?

I asked Mariah to recommend three favorite love songs for my iPod playlist:

1. Donny Hathaway, "A Song for You"

2. Minnie Riperton, "Lovin' You"

3. Stevie Wonder, "Overjoyed"
