...weeks later, Carey fired her longtime manager, Randy Hoffman, and attorney, Alan Grubman, both of whom happen to be close associates of Mottola's. "I've grown up," she explains. "It's been a gradual process of gaining creative control." So who can resist seeing Honey as a metaphor for Carey's personal declaration of independence? Well, actually, Carey herself. "It's just a James Bond spoof," she insists. "The actors weren't meant to be Tommy or anybody else...
