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 ‘did not like' role Eminem asked her to play in biopic film
Eminem wanted Mariah Carey to play his alcoholic mother in his 2002 film debut, 8 Mile, according to producer Damion Young. Young, who worked with Carey on her 1998 single 'I Still Believe', introduced Eminem to Carey, who had expressed interest in film roles. Carey allegedly asked for Eminem 's number after learning the meeting was about a film role, despite initially declining to meet. During the call, Eminem suggested Carey play his mother, which Young said she 'did not like that s*** at all' due to her insecurities. 8 Mile, based on Eminem's early career, saw him playing an aspiring rapper and featured the hit song ' Lose Yourself, ' which won an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Mariah Carey mercilessly mocked over BET Awards performance as fans accuse her of lip syncing
Mariah Carey made a jaw-dropping appearance at the BET Awards on Monday night. Not only did the legendary diva, 56, receive the coveted Icon Awards, she was also one of the best-dressed stars at the event. However, some fans were underwhelmed when Mimi took to the stage to perform her new single Type Dangerous. Despite looking like a million bucks, the Honey hitmaker barely moved while performing the hip-hop track. 'I love Mariah but one thing she's not gonna do is dance! Well still love her music though,' commented one. 'She's been in this industry too long to just be standing there like that,' wrote another. 'I remember when Mariah divorced Tommy [Mottola] and danced for a whole album before she decided that was enough,' joked a third. One naysayer even compared Mariah to her longtime rival Jennifer Lopez. 'The way she needs help going down a small flight of stairs is hilarious, and then you have JLo doing back flips and front flips on stage dancing salsa and hip hop at the level of 20- to 30-year-old professional dancers,' they wrote. 'She is the most boring entertainer I've ever seen,' added another. Some fans also claimed that songstress may have been lip syncing her performance. 'Mariah please lip sync more convincingly!!' wrote one, while another wrote, 'Mariah was stiff as hell lip syncing up there but that's MOTHER so I'll let it slide.' Despite some backlash, many others defended Mariah and insisted that she'd earned the right to perform however she wants to after such a long and illustrious career. 'The only woman in the industry that cannot move the entire time and still shut the stage down,' gushed one. 'Don't disrespect the legend. Expecting Mariah to dance is like expecting Aretha (RIP) to dance. DIVAS don't dance,' wrote another. While her performance left a little to be desired, Mimi certainly turned heads with her ageless good looks at the awards show. The 56-year-old looked shockingly youthful in a stunning gold sequined minidress to perform her latest hit. The beauty, who wore her long blond hair pin straight with a middle part, also pulled out a glittering white corset dress for later in the ceremony. It had a prominent bust and sparkling sequins that complemented the tear-shaped diamonds on her necklaces and earrings, as well as her glittering bracelets. She was honored with the BET Ultimate Icon Award along with other stars, including Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg and Kirk Franklin. Mariah is currently preparing to release her 16th studio album. According to Forbes, the songstress, who has had 19 number one singles, is aiming to get her 20th chart topper with her new single Type Dangerous. 'She's fighting to stay contemporary,' her longtime producer LA Reid told the publication. Mariah left her label Epic Records, who released her last album Caution, to partner with new music company Gamma for her comeback.

US actress Julianne Moore reveals plans to permanently move to the UK with husband Bart Freundlich as she joins huge list of stars fleeing America
Julianne Moore has revealed plans to permanently move to the UK with her husband Bart Freundlich. The actress, 64, was born in North Carolina but gained British citizenship because her late mother, Anne, was Scottish. And now she could join a huge list of stars fleeing the US with some citing Trump as the reason they want to leave Appearing on the Capital Breakfast with her Echo Valley co-star Sydney Sweeney on Tuesday, Julianne opened up about her plans to move to the UK. Host Chris Stark asked: 'Julianne, you're a British citizen, is that right?' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Julianne replied: 'Yeah, I have a passport,' before a shocked Sydney said: 'No way, I didn't know that!' 'Yeah, my mother was from Scotland, so I have a British passport,' Julianne explained. Chris said: 'That's so cool.' 'I know it is cool, right?; Julianne added. 'So, what's it like being back? Could you see yourself maybe coming and living here full-time?' Chris asked. Julianne revealed: 'I can actually, my husband and I have talked about that sometimes. It could be kind of fun. 'I've worked here a lot and I'm really comfortable here. I've been working here, gosh, probably since the nineties.' Radio co-host Jordan North asked: 'Really?' Sian Welby added: 'What since Hannibal?' 'Yeah, since before that actually,' Julianne laughed before continuing: 'Once I was coming into the UK and somebody told me I was in the wrong line and I was like 'no I'm not!' In March, Courtney Love became the latest star to reveal she's becoming a British citizen, because of 'frightening 'Donald Trump's return to the White House. Courtney, who was married to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain from 1992 until his suicide in 1994, says she's looking to permanently relocate in the UK due to her dissatisfaction with the Trump administration in the US. Speaking at the Royal Geographical Society in London, she said: 'I'm really glad I'm here. 'It's so great to live here. I'm finally getting my British citizenship in six months. I get to be a citizen - I'm applying, man! Can't get rid of me!' The remarks drew rapturous applause from the London audience. Courtney went on to criticize the US President and his inner circle, admitting: 'In terms of Trump, and particularly this group... it's like emperor-core - like, [they're] wearing million-dollar watches. Celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi, designer Tom Ford, Ryan Gosling and his wife Eva Mendes are among those who have fled America for the UK 'Emperor-core is going on at Mar-a-Lago. It's frightening now. It's like cyanide now.' Courtney, who has a 32-year-old daughter, Frances Cobain, with Kurt, has been living in London for several years, having moved to the capital from Los Angeles in 2019. Courtney has been vocal of her love of London for some time, saying in 2017: 'I know I'm going to end up there. 'I know what neighbourhood I'm going to end up in, and I know that I want to be on the Thames. I subscribe to this magazine called Country Life, which is just real-estate porn and fox hunting. It's amazing.' She is not the first celebrity to move to the UK since the reelection of Trump, with the woke stars being dubbed the 'Donald Dashers'. The so-called 'Donald Dash' has been backed up by Home Office figures this week which revealed that applications for UK citizenship soared in the last quarter of 2024, rising 40 per cent year on year. In fact more than 6,100 US citizens applied last year, the most since records began two decades ago and 26 per cent more than in 2023. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi put their California mansion up for sale after the election results came in and kickstarted their 'retirement' in the UK, with sources alleging the 'US doesn't like her because of her sexual preferences'. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling were already living in the UK and are now planning to stay put, a sentiment echoed by British-American actress Minnie Driver, who returned to London after nearly three decades of living in Los Angeles. Ugly Betty star America was allegedly spotted checking out schools in west London - after saying she wanted to leave the US when Trump was elected. One Notting Hill estate agent, who revealed the amount of wealthy American families they are moving in has 'skyrocketed' since Trump, told MailOnline: 'We moved a Marvel actress into a house very near here in the last week.' Eva Longoria, a Texas native who has been living abroad for work, is taking permanent residency in Mexico and Spain with her husband and son in order to 'escape' her 'dystopian' homeland.
