MARIAH CAREY has no plans to start a family because she believes it is selfish to bring a child into the celebrity world.
The WE BELONG TOGETHER singer may reconsider if she finds her soulmate, but she believes children have the right to anonymity.
She says, "You bring (children) into the world with the handicap of being a famous person's child. Fame has to be something you really want. I asked for this, I have to live with it - whatever that means.
"But a child you bring into the world doesn't say, 'I want to be the child of a famous person,' to then be attacked by the world. I feel bad for kids who have to go through that." (CB/GNM/SC)
