Posted April 28, 200619 yr Mariah Carey has a personal assistant who holds and serves her drinks for her. British TV presenter Graham Norton, who recently interviewed the singer, has revealed the star, known for her outrageous demands, summoned a staff member to her side whenever she was thirsty. The camp comic star claims Mariah supped her drinks through a straw and wouldn't even hold her beverages herself. He said: "She put her head to one side for people to serve her a drink through a straw, like she was unable to use her hands." Mariah is renowned for her diva-like behaviour and it was revealed earlier this year the Don't Forget About Us singer employs an assistant whose job is to keep her skirts from "touching the floor". According to US reports, the worker's other duties include carrying a designer Luis Vuitton backpack filled with bottled water so Mariah never goes thirsty and making sure the Butterfly singer is constantly comfortable. Sounds pretty accurate, however Graham Norton interviewed Mariah when The Remixes was released, so it certainly wasn't "recently" and he said the same thing when he was on Jonathon Ross a while back. I find these kinda things quite funny, but Mariah has always denied them so I reserve judgements. ^_^ Edited May 16, 200718 yr by Flatcap
April 28, 200619 yr Well, if that´s true, and I hope not, she is a total ass. Edited May 16, 200718 yr by Flatcap
April 28, 200619 yr Author It'll be media speculation as usual, no one has ever seen Mariah do any of these diva-like antics, however she was rather diva-esque at Live 8. :lol:

April 29, 200619 yr Author Err... she asked for a mic stand. That's not diva-esque. That's her trying to be a professional! ;) It WAS diva-esque, she asked for a mic stand, and then said she didn't want one and then said something along the lines of "So am I getting this mic stand or what?" and then when the woman brought her water on stage she went something like "Yes darlings this is my maseuse" IN MY OPINION that was diva-esque, i'm not slating her for it, I loved it, but I think it was quite diva-like.
April 30, 200619 yr The thing you gotta realise with Mariah is that she loves to play up the whole diva image thing. She finds it funny. While she does have some diva tendencies, it's blown up so much in the media so she can't even ask for a mic stand without being accused of being difficult!

I know that she has said that in interviews, which is why I find it funny, if she was being serious I would probably see it differently, but to people that aren't Mariah fans and that are aware of the whole diva-like label, they will see it as diva-like behaviour, whereas because we're fans we know she's only having a laugh. ;)
May 6, 200619 yr All the speculation about Mariah, might be a grain or two of truth in it somewhere. :dance:
