Mariah Carey refuses to own a set of scales - because her muscles make her seem heavy.The curvaceous singer, who went on a strict fish only diet earlier this year to shift the pounds, isn't interested in weighing herself because she knows she is in great shape.She said: "I don't own scales - what's the point? Muscle weighs more than fat anyway, so why torture yourself? It's more important to be happy with how you are."Meanwhile, Mariah is developing a new fake tan made with 24-karat gold dust.The 'We Belong Together' singer has hired a personal tanning assistant, Jenny Phillips, to spray her before every performance on her current 'Emancipation of Mimi' tour.The star and Jenny, of Beverly Hills' exclusive Portofino Sun Center and Spa, have now teamed up to create an extravagant new fake tan made with real gold.Mariah's representative said: "They are developing an exclusive line of bronzer containing real 24-karat gold dust."
