Mariah Carey Pictures: Mariah Carey Knows People Think She's a Ditzy Moron!

Her new album may be called E=MC2, but Mariah Carey has come to terms with being known a ditz.

"It's a dichotomy, I understand," she tells Allure magazine. "I understand that people think I'm a ditzy moron.”

And don't let Carey's short skirts fool you!

"I'm Mary Poppins: I'm what the button-up girls are supposed to be," she swears to the mag.

Despite her micro-mini skirt from Saturday Night Live this weekend, she sees herself as "eternally 12."

"I've always had really low self-esteem, and I still do," she admits. "What's weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It's hard for a partner to compete – just imagine."

Carey, who's newest single, "Touch My Body," is on track to become her 18th No. 1 single — tying her with the Beatles for having the most chart-toppers — also says she's never had a one-night stand and considers herself a "freakin' prude."

(The 37-year-old has been married once and linked to both Eminem and New York Yankee Derek Jeter. "Not to quote Swingers, but 'we all have stories.' I got a freakin' miniseries in me," she says.)

Instead, the best-selling female of all time focuses on her work.

"It's not that difficult to become exhausted," she says, alluding to her meltdown in 2001. "I have three personal assistants just to keep up with my schedule!"

As for the thinner body she's been flaunting, Carey credits her personal trainer. "I don't know why everyone thinks I lost 30 pounds," she says. "This trainer has actually helped me reshape my arms. That's where I gained most of my weight: upper body. That's just one thing you have to lose weight for."
