Mariah Carey's 'Diva' Demands Detailed

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 24th 2009 08:08AM

Mariah Carey has long carried the "diva" title, and she's got the cred and record sales to back it up. The best-selling female artist in music history has a reputation for lavish demands, and a British presenter who saw Carey in her studio is now documenting some of the singer's more outlandish requests, including her own custom toilet paper.

Carey was in Britain to film a segment on 'X Factor' and also to do a sit-down interview with GMTV's Lorraine Kelly. During that time, Kelly's colleague Kate Garraway was in the network's studios and witnessed Carey and her "hilarious" entourage. "I've heard a lot of rumours about her being a diva over the years and guess what? It turns out it's all true!" Garraway tells New! Magazine (via Daily Mail).

"They outnumbered the entire GMTV crew," Garraway says of Carey's entourage. She goes on to say that the Grammy winner "had two people to lower her on to the GMTV sofa, in case her dress got crushed."

Aside from that, Garraway says Carey had "one person to walk in front of her backwards at all times in case she fell over and several people behind the camera making sure she was going to be filmed from the right angle!"

Puzzled by the events and what she allegedly witnessed, Garraway asks: "Have you ever heard anything like it? Oh, and she brought her own toilet roll as well."

Carey recently faced similar scorn during a commercial shoot in which she admits that even her two Jack Russell puppies had security.

"I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn't they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage - my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security," Carey said in an interview.

If Mariah took the ROD out of her ass... it'd be easier to wipe!

By rws135

OK...what is it about these boards that makes people so goofy with the English language? Why do people not know the difference between words like they're/there/their? Or two/to/too? How about then/than? I could go on...but y? I mean why?

RWS135, I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

And when in a hotel she orders that the employees lower their eyes when she passes by...she is a laugh and a half.

By Lara

I think it's kind of cool that an overweight woman feels confident enough to strut herself in a revealing bathing suit for all to see. Kudos to her, on both the age front and the weight front!

By r

you know they call the wind mariah, shes got good taste in dogs

By billy

does carey hate white people
i saw her on a interview she got all bent out of shape when the host asked her about her being white and black. she seemed to hate it that he mention that she was white almost like she hated her mother to

By summerbeach

NO ONE is jealous of Mariah. She is a HAS-BEEN w/an INFLATED EGO. I almost feel sorry for her, she feels the need to fit her size 12 body into size 2 clothing and then "trys" to pass it off as sexy. NOT! How about more like SLEAZY. There is a difference between CLASS & TRASH. She is STILL clueless on which is which. Btw..the shape of her face reminds me of Mr. Potatoe Head..LMFAO! There are way more TALENTED people out there who are NOT full of themselves. Maybe if Mariah was more HUMBLE, then others wouldn't make fun of her so much. She neads a REALITY check. Period!

By Marie

I always thought Mariah was a fake and a nut case. Hence, I am not even surprised, let alone shocked at these latest bizzare/outlandish revelations. Who goes to a funeral with most of their (fake) boobs hanging out as she did at Michael Jackson's?

OH BY THE WAY MISS CAREY YOU MAKE US ALL VOMIT !!!

By kk

you never ever hear of her donating or supporting charities or helping other people except herself or her suckup boy toy , husband for as long as it lasts,.....she has never dressed well...money does not equal class or grace...she exhibits none

By catt

For some reason there are people out there that lets people like her get away with it by buying her albums and going to her concerts. There is far better talent out there than her. Myself I turn her off when I hear her on the radio. Her voice is to squeaky and annoying for me.

By xenophon

the is a self-centered egotistical jerk who only creates jobs for the lazy who don't want to do any real work and who are willing to kiss their ass every day - all day, and that's just Barack Obama - Mariah Carey is almost as bad.

By Berry

Well its quite obvious how she got to where she is, she slept with anything that would have her! Started out trailer trash and will forever remain trailer trash!

By Sue

Hate Mariah's diva shtick but don't blame her about the toilet paper. It's like cardboard in England!

By joan

Never have been a fan of Mariah Carey, and reading of her ridiculous demands and actions only backs me on how right I was about her, a very big headed, overblown snob.

By flat top

Her career has peaked. Even though she worked hard to get where she was in the 90s, people like me are no longer impressed with her extravagance. I feel sorry for the fans who think her acting like a "queen" is exciting.

By Steve

The people who bought her records and went to her concerts have made her this way. She is not that great of a singer. She is also fat.

By DaRu

They call the wind Mariah...hot air and soon will be gone without a trace
her warbling bird calls are so tiresome
her boyish body with saggy bag breasts is freakish
doesn't she jump into a swimming pool in every single video she made in the nineties?
and the smell STILL lingers.
that poor gay husband of hers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
