DIVA DEMANDS
Mariah is notorious for her OTT behaviour and, ahead of her stint on-stage in London earlier this year, she lived up to expectations.

Show demand: ITV anchor Kate Garraway said that when she interviewed Mariah in 2009 the famous singer (and infamous diva) was LOWERED onto the GMTV sofa by two ITV producers so that she wouldn't crease her dress. She also had an assistant walk backwards in front of her at all times in case she fell over. As you do.
Previously, it was revealed how US legend Mariah sleeps with a whopping 20 humidifiers in her room and how she allegedly demanded a rider filled with 20 white kittens and 100 white doves.
Reverting to type at the Capital radio event, This Morning presenter and Capital Breakfast DJ Sian Welby, 38, let slip the backstage detail exclusively to The Sun.
She told us: "We will do what we're told.
"When it comes to Mariah, she is the boss.
"She's changed the whole dressing room to just be called Mimi's World.
"Doesn't even have Capital branding anymore. It's all her zone."
The We Belong Together hitmaker hit the stage donning a black playsuit with semi-sheer tights.
She styled her hair poker-straight and accessorised with sparkling silver bangles and red lippie.
Despite the London heat, she finished her look with a pair of thigh high boots and dark sunglasses.
The star's diva demands and confessions have gone down in the showbiz history books.
Recently she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: "I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling."
Mariah is also renowned for her super slim-fitting clothing choices, often accessorised with towering heels.

Mum left in stitches after baby scan photo bears striking resemblance to popular TV presenter, but do you see it?
Plus, other comical baby scans that have left people cracking up OH BABY Mum left in stitches after baby scan photo bears striking resemblance to popular TV presenter, but do you see it? A PREGNANT woman roared with laughter after realising a scan of her unborn baby looked like . . . Strictly and Traitors host Claudia Winkleman. Amy Baldwin, 38, was amazed when the grainy 12-week ultrasound last week seemed to show a bob and fringe similar to 53-year-old Claudia's famous locks. 5 Amy Baldwin, from Hastings, was shocked when she looked closely at her baby scan Credit: Simon Jones 5 Her family pointed out the scan looks remarkably like TV host Claudia Winkleman Credit: Simon Jones 5 Many people on social media also see the likeness to Traitors and Strictly host Claudia Credit: Getty Amy, below, who already has three young kids, told The Sun: 'I didn't notice at first but my eldest said: 'Why does the baby look like Claudia Winkleman?' "As soon as she said it, I couldn't unsee it. Every time I look at it, I just laugh. 'Claudia is a national treasure but I'm not sure I want to give birth to her!' Influencer Amy then shared the image with her 70,000 TikTok followers. Among the viewers was Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, who posted: 'Claudia's cute, so your baby will be.' X Factor stars Jedward also joined in, quipping: 'Middle name or first better be Claudia.' But others reckon the foetus looks more like lanky-haired comic Noel Fielding. Amy, from Hastings, East Sussex, added: 'The comments have kept me entertained for days.' It's not the first time a baby scan has caused a laugh. A mum-to-be previously shared her image of her twins, with them in a rather unfortunate position.

We recently shared how Claudia Winkleman looked totally different as she went bare-faced after eye op and revealed she was banned from wearing her trademark eyeliner. The Traitors host, 53, gushed about her doctor following a successful procedure. Claudia revealed she would be forced to go without her trademark eyeliner for weeks after her June op as she recovered. 5 In June, Claudia looked almost unrecognisable without her trademark eyeliner Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Although she didn't go into detail about what she had done, it was thought to be laser eye surgery, which is used to correct vision problems. Posting a snap of her cuddled up to her eye doctor Julian, Claudia wrote on social media: "This amazing human makes me see. "He's operated on my eyes before and he did it again today. "No eyeliner for weeks and I sleep in googles (no words) but I'm eternally grateful. "Do NOT zoom in on my left eye - it's wonky. "Thank you Julian. I paid for the treatment, this isn't an ad. "I just love him. It's very possible I'm still a bit sedated. Night night." In May, pictures were leaked of Celebrity Traitors being filmed in the Scottish Highlands with what looked like a Trojan horse. The 19 celebs on the show, hosted by Claudia, include Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church, Kate Garraway, Jonathan Ross and Celia Imrie. They have all had to hand over their phones to crew to prevent them from discussing game plans on the show, expected to air in October.

‘My wife would kill me' – Kyren Wilson makes vow after ‘silly' snooker shot
Wilson opened up about being in a 'dark place' IF LOOKS COULD WIL 'My wife would kill me' – Kyren Wilson makes vow after 'silly' snooker shot KYREN WILSON will not attempt a 'silly no-look' shot in high-pressurised situations or if big money is on the line – because he says his wife 'would kill me'. The Warrior is flying home from China £210,000 richer after lifting the Shanghai Masters following a 11-9 victory in the final over Ali Carter. Advertisement 3 Wilson won the Shanghai Masters Credit: Getty 3 Kyren Wilson joked his wife Sophie would 'kill' him if he tried more trickshots Credit: PA In his first match of the season, a 6-5 second-round win over Si Jiahui, Wilson was on 97 in the final-frame decider with one ball left on the table. Unexpectedly, he decided to 'entertain' the crowd by turning his head to the side, as if it was an exhibition, as he cued up for the century break. That final black, which was on its spot, was missed and it meant there was no seventh century in that clash, which would have been a record for a match consisting of 11 frames. Wilson, 33, was unaware that had he potted the ball normally it would have gone down in the record books. Advertisement READ MORE IN SNOOKER GONE TO POT Referee forced to interrupt Shanghai Masters final to 'have a word' with fan The Kettering cueist had no regrets about his antics and his priority, given the frame had been sealed, was 'to have a little bit of fun' and 'do things a little bit differently'. However, speaking to SunSport following his first title success of the season, Wilson admits he would NOT do this again if the ball he was aiming for had more riding on it. Considering how much money could be on the line in the future, he would be in serious trouble at home if he reattempted the cheeky shot again. The world No2 said: 'Every ounce of me would love to say, yes, I'll do it again. But, no. Advertisement BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'At the end of the day, I'm a professional. I wouldn't do it in a winning moment. 'It's all well and good doing it on a century, but no, I couldn't do it in a winning moment. Not if there was a trophy on the line. Kyren Wilson tells SunSport how he suffered breakdown in front of wife and turned to hypnotherapist Chris O'Connor for help 'Not only that, I think my wife would kill me. Maybe if I get to the deciding frame and I need the black for a century… Advertisement 'I was meant to be on talkSPORT the next day to talk about it. "Unfortunately they couldn't get through because of the signal. There was a typhoon and they couldn't get to me. 'It was all about that debate: Would I have done it again? Trying to do something different in snooker gets people talking. It's all good for the game.' The Englishman became world champion in May 2024 and then played as much as he could, winning four ranking titles in the 2024-25 season. Advertisement Yet his Crucible campaign was a disaster – it was ended in the first round, on day one, by debutant Lei Peifan as the Curse claimed another victim. The next few weeks were extremely difficult but it was only by playing in exhibitions around the globe and the love and support of his family that pulled him through the 'dark' times. The father-of-two – next in action in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters in Jeddah – said: 'It really, really hurt to lose in the first round. 'I was in quite a dark place for a couple of weeks. Advertisement 'I was meant to be working for the BBC straight after that. I did one day and said to the producer, I've got to get out of here. I can't do it. I don't want to be here. 'I had some exhibitions which took my mind off it fairly quickly. We travelled all over. We went to Dubai, China, Hong Kong and then Helsinki. So, thank god for that really. 'God knows what I'd have been doing otherwise. 'I gave so much last year. It was important to kick on this year and start in the same vein.
