MARIAH CAREY’s estranged call girl sister is battling liver cancer.
Alison Carey Scott, a convicted prostitute, has seen her health seriously deteriorate in recent years after she was diagnosed with the deadly HIV virus, and now doctors have discovered she is also suffering from cancer.
A National Enquirer reporter recently met with Carey Scott, 50, outside a hotel in Riverhead, New York, where she confirmed she was extremely ill, saying, “Not with AIDS… liver cancer.”
The pop superstar, who is currently in France, allegedly has no idea about Carey Scott’s latest health crisis and it is likely to come as a big blow to the singer, who has been supporting her husband Nick Cannon through his own health battle after he was diagnosed with a rare form of autoimmune disease lupus in January (12).
A source tells the tabloid, “Mariah’s been to hell and back with Nick’s health problems… Now Alison’s tragedy will be a double whammy for her.”
The Hero hitmaker fell out with Carey Scott early on in her career, but she has previously supported her older sister through her drug addiction and even paid for her to undergo treatment in rehab.

Michael Jackson’s bodyguard to fight for Blanket visitation rights Michael Jackson – Richcrib.com
MICHAEL JACKSON’s former bodyguard is planning to fight to prove he’s the biological father of the King of Pop’s youngest child, Blanket.
Matt Fiddes wants to spend quality time with the 10 year old and introduce the boy to his mother, who is battling cancer.
He tells the Globe, “I want her to see Blanket more than anything.”
The British martial arts expert has maintained he’s Blanket’s dad for years and now he’s planning to give a DNA sample to U.S. officials and let them decide if he has the right to fight for visitation rights.
R&B star BRANDY was left feeling “crushed” at the age of 18 when her then-boyfriend, BLACKSTREET singer WANYA MORRIS, dumped her for another woman.
The singer/actress harboured a big crush on Morris from a young age and her dreams of a romance came true in 1995 after they teamed up to record their hit duet Brokenhearted.
But Brandy’s management team, led by her strict mum Sonja Norwood, frowned upon the idea of the 16 year old being involved with Morris, who was five years her senior, and forced the hitmaker to hide the relationship and deny it in the press.
During an emotional VH1 Behind The Music special, which aired in the U.S. on Wednesday (25Apr12), she recalled, “Immediately, everything was about my career. You know, ‘What are you teaching young girls? Do they fall in love at a young age? Is that wrong? Is that a sin?’
“It just made me feel like I was all by myself, in that whatever I’m feeling personally is gonna have to be put to the side.”
The pressure of keeping the relationship secret and the stress of their high-flying careers caused the couple to grow apart – and Morris left Brandy for another lover in 1997.
She revealed, “He fell in love with someone else, so the worst feeling is to be in love all by yourself. That feels f**ked up, honestly, it just does, and that’s the only way I can really put it. It felt like somebody had just completely taken my heart out of my body and just crushed it.”
