New York: Singer Mariah Carey is trying to block porn star-turned politician Mary Carey from trade-marking her similar-sounding stage name, saying it could cause much confusion among fans.
However, the adult film actress, whose real name is Mary Cook, said that she would not be intimidated by the international superstar and would press forward with her trademark application, said hollywoodreporter.com.
“I'm ready to battle Mariah over this because I've been Mary Carey for a long time. It's kind of funny because I'm a porn star and I've been being myself for a long time. I think she's being silly,” Mary said.
She started using the stage name Mary Carey in 2002 and once ran for California governor against Arnold Schwarzenegger. Mary filed the trademark papers earlier this year.
