OUCHT! Why did the Mariah Carey have to go and dispel rumours of her crazy diva demands?
replica rolex It was soooooooo unnecessary, and such a disappointment, to find out that's she's actually quite a normal gal after all.
"I try not to be a jerk, I really do. I try to be nice and cordial," said the voluptuous star, who has been dogged by claims she is a prima donna through-out her career, with countless bizarre allegations of her backstage demands.
"I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am. I think I have mannerisms and that whole thing, and I'm running around in these shoes. But even before I had any type of fame, I was like this. Seriously."
Ok, fair enough, but tell us, you did ask for kittens or puppies as accessories backstage? Surely, Mariah? "No. In a video maybe".
Fine, but bowls of blue M&Ms, at least that was true, right? "I don't even eat them."
And the carpet thing? "Yeah. They said I wouldn't come into a hotel unless there were petals rolex replica on the floor. I'm like, do you really think at 3am I give a s*** what I'm walking on?"
Maybe it's just me, but I liked to think of Mariah as the dotty diva. And for her to poo poo such talk, well, it's just wrong.
These myths are important in pop culture - it would be a boring place without them. That's why so many folks put down Coldplay for being devoid of any personality, right?
Without Mariah's claims that her image and behaviour have been portrayed out of proportion by the media, all we're left with a sensible business woman who can't sing without shoving ten notes into the space where one should be. Those kind of singers are ten-a-penny
embroidered patches these days.
Thanks heavens, then, for Barbra Streisand. I tuned into the Jonathan Ross show the other night and Babs had the whole show to herself - now that's what I call a diva.
