Pop legend announced for show
Pop legend Mariah Carey, 55, needs little introduction ... she's as famous for her diva antics as her music.
Mariah reportedly likes to have a tea service for eight people available in her dressing room — and insists that only Poland Springs water be used for the tea.
But for drinking water, she likes another brand: "Please note that 16-oz. plastic bottles of Evian are the only acceptable bottles of water for the dressing rooms," reads the backstage rider to one of her tour contracts.
She sparked concern recently with her "slurred speech" during the iHeartRadio Awards, with fans insisting "there is something wrong!".

Mariah Carey reveals what she really thinks about the Grammys after being snubbed for years
has blasted the Grammys after being snubbed out of nominations for years. The 56-year-old singer has won only five Grammy Awards during the course of her successful career thus far - with her last nomination occurring 16 years earlier. The Always Be My Baby hitmaker appeared on Pitchfork's Over/Under YouTube series where celebrities weigh in on pop culture symbols including Labubus, Crocs, and Christmas. When the topic of the biggest award show in music came up, Mariah pulled no punches as she said: 'Ha, I think the Grammys are overrated.' Mariah went on to clarify that she meant that both the award show and the award itself were overrated. She didn't fully turn into her bitterness as she added: 'But we love everybody.' Last October, the Fantasy songstress opened up about the topic during the latest episode of the Las Culturistas podcast. At one point, hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers expressed that she doesn't 'have enough' Grammy wins, per Entertainment Weekly. Carey agreed and said in response, 'They scaaaaammed me. They toy with me.' Mariah has garnered a whopping 34 Grammy nominations - with her first win taking place in 1991 for Best New Artist and Best Pop Female Vocal Performance for Vision Of Love. In 2006, her album Emancipation Of Mimi won the Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album. The same year, she also won Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the track, We Belong Together. Her last Grammy nomination was in 2009 for Best Gospel Performance for the song titled, I Understood, which also featured Kim Burrell, Rance Allen and Bebe Winans. Mariah has sold around 220 million records across the globe, and notably landed the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart 19 times as a solo artist. She has garnered a list of other accolades over the years, such as winning 10 American Music Awards and 20 Billboard Music Awards. Aside from the Las Culturistas podcast, Carey has previously let her feelings be known about her few Grammy wins. In February 2024, the star was honored with the Recording Academy's Global Impact Award at the 2024 Black Music Collective event. Upon taking to the stage, she seemingly threw shade at the Grammys, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'Is this a real Grammy? I haven't seen one in soooooo long,' Mariah humorously said to the crowd. 'It's weird. I don't know. We'll figure out what this is later.'

BBC The One Show's Roman Kemp's struggle to find happiness after heartbreaking family comment
The One Show star Roman Kemp has opened up about his desire to have a family and how he believes it will be the moment he finds "true happiness" The One Show's Roman Kemp has confessed that he believes he hasn't yet found "true happiness". The 32 year old star has opened up about his longing to start a family one day. Roman, who is famously close with his parents, Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp and former Wham! singer Shirlie Holliman, has often spoken about their unique parenting style. During an appearance on Loose Women in 2019, Martin revealed that he and Shirlie chose to raise Roman and his sister Harley more like "friends" than children. Roman has described this approach as a "best friend thing", admitting it made it easier for him to confide in his parents. Now, the former Capital Breakfast host has shared his hopes of having a family of his own, believing that it will bring him a "sense of true happiness". He made this revelation while discussing the concept of success with pop star and good mate Tom Grennan, reports the Express. Roman elaborated: "I don't think I'll ever have that feeling of success until I have kids I can look at and go, 'We did alright'. My parents never, ever said to us, 'You need to be this, you've got to do that job, all my parents ever asked is, 'Are you happy?' All of those types of things and that, I think, would define success for me over anything." When asked by Tom if he was happy, Roman replied: "Sometimes, but you're not human if you're happy all the time. It's working out work-life balance and that's what I've tried to do ever since I left Capital. That's one of the reasons that I left because I didn't have that, I didn't have a work-life balance, I didn't understand it. "You'll know, when I send you a picture of a scan, or something like that, or when I tell you my child has been born, when I send you that text, you'll know f*****g hell, he's happy. Because I don't think I've had that yet, that sense of true happiness." The star, who often shares the screen with his dad on shows like Celebrity Gogglebox, Martin and Roman's Weekend Best! and Bromans, revealed his hopes for his future children to see their bond. In an interview with Hello! magazine, he shared: "My dad and I get to work with each other all the time and I'm so lucky for that. The reason we work together is because I know how much I'm going to love my kids and my family watching that footage of me and their grandad working together - and that's just our relationship." This comes as Roman is rumoured to be engaged to model Carmen Gaggero. As reported by WalesOnline, the couple have been an item since last year and made their relationship public last summer after being seen leaving Le Petit Maison in Mayfair. Speculation about an engagement started when Carmen was spotted with a ring on her engagement finger during a night out in London. According to the publication, pals reckon Roman is prepared to "settle down". Roman will be returning to screens on The One Show from 7pm on BBC One tonight alongside co-host Clara Amfo. The pair will be joined by Gemma Arterton and Thomas Brodie-Sangster who will be discussing the film Grand Prix of Europe.

Mariah Carey reveals what her kids really think of her music as she finally shares new album details
MARIAH CAREY admitted that twins Moroccan and Monroe won't be rushing to order her 16th album Here For It All. At an intimate event in central London, where Bizarre was the only press invited, Mariah said: 'Sometimes I hold back from playing my songs to my kids as they have their own taste. 'Roe loves Olivia Rodrigo, and Roc loves Sabrina Carpenter.' But she has given them a preview of the record's title track, adding: 'Here For It All, it really moved me. 'That was one song I actually played for some people. It's one of my favourites.' We were treated to a first play of the track, and can see why Mariah loves it so much — as she sounds better than ever on it. She is trying her best to keep other details about the album under wraps and said with a laugh: 'You can't tickle much out of me. There have been many rumours. 'We might have a duet with Anderson Paak. It's like a Seventies R'n'B vibe. It's funky.' Mariah, who performed at the royal estate Sandringham on Friday, added: 'There will probably be more remixes coming.' The new album is due out on September 28 and comes seven years after the last one, Caution. Mariah didn't hit the studio with the idea of making an album at first, and she revealed: 'I was working on some new songs then I was like, 'OK, I have four songs. That's cool, what are we going to do?'.' She added: 'Finally, when we got to around six songs, I said, 'I think we can make this into an album'.' Mariah Carey, 56, wears FOUR figure-hugging outfits and puts on leggy display as she headlines Brighton Pride Rather than sitting on a pile of tracks like some artists do, Mariah said her songs are few and far between, saying: 'I really don't have thousands. 'Decided to go deeper' 'I have a good amount of songs though. I don't really let anyone listen to them until they are done, that's kind of the way it works for me.' As with previous records, Mariah has acted as producer on the new album. She said: 'I always loved vocals and I didn't realise that production was what I was doing. Even on my first album I was doing that. 'Then, working with different people and friends, I decided to go deeper into it and really start real producing. 'I listen back to my old music too — I think forward and I listen back.' Mariah is staying tight-lipped about whether a tour is now on the cards. 'I dunno,' she said with a shrug. We will have to see about that. It is the 16th record. I am happy about that.' As for her next album, Mariah is already brimming with ideas, adding: 'A deep cut record, that could definitely be a possibility.' We're here for that, Mariah. 2
