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.

I am sure this woman would think of this as cute. But its not, its called being self centered, and obnoxious as it gets. Anyone who is as full of them selves as this woman needs a reality check. No one is above others, they just think they are.

amen diana, it's embarrassing.
Your missing the point.. Look how many ppl are working because of her..LOL
Can't stand her! Way too full of herself. Not nearly as hot as she thinks she is, wears clothes way too young and way too small for her. Don't like her style of singing -- to watch or to listen to. Just don't see what people see in her. All you ever hear is what a diva and what a b-tch she is.
It's okay, she's fast turning into a has been performer. If somebody told me to walk backward so i can catch you when you fall, i'm gonna let you fall flat on your face and laugh my arse off.
I wonder if people like this ever fall to their knees and thank the Lord for every day that society doesn't collapse.
DIDN'T ANYONE SEE HER ON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT (HER HUSBAND, NICK CANNON HOSTS), SHE HAS GAINED A LOT OF WEIGHT. SHE KEEPS BALLOONING UP & DOWN. I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK SHE IS THAT HOT, KIND OF LIKE NICOLE, MORE OF A HOOT.
How can it be unreasonable when these simpletons go for the okie dok
And how many people do you employ?????
I think we should let her worry about her own life. She has many beautiful songs of faith and encouragement. I think we should all enjoy the beauty we each have in our own lives when we look, and don't judge!
Well said Diana, this woman is truly an egotistical fool! These Hollywood morons are so full of themselves it's pathetic. They have lots of money, but are very short on brains!
It's good to be a queen.

all i have to say to those people is make sure whatever task you do is all in a contract, make sure its a contract that holds up in court. cause when the money run out you will be left holding nothing but a worthlees piece of paper.staffers or gofers make sure your ass is covered cause guess what i bet you, she has some sort of plan to screw everyone over if she needs to .

Huh?
This woman is nothing but a fat dimbo that can't even walk off of Jay Leno's set without almost falling down. She dresses like a whore and acts like she is on downers most of the time. I bet she couldn't spell her own name unless someone helped her.
