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!".

Rapper Kendrick Lamar lands the biggest wins at the 2025 BET Awards
LOS ANGELES, June 9 (Reuters) - Kendrick Lamar was the top winner on Monday at the BET Awards, an awards ceremony honoring Black actors, singers and sports stars. The "30 For 30" rapper won the best male hip hop artist award, best album of the year as well as the video of the year award for 'Not Like Us." Lamar and filmmaker Dave Free also took home the video director of the year award at the event, which was held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and broadcast on the BET cable channel. "BET has always made sure they're representing the culture right and always put me in the midst of the cycle of what we represent," Lamar said on stage when accepting his award. Host comedian Kevin Hart opened the ceremony by recognizing the BET Awards' 25th anniversary and all of the "history that has been made" on the stage. The ceremony traversed the evolution of Black music, starting with a performance by R&B artist Ashanti that featured a compilation of songs, including her 2002 song "Foolish." Additional performances included other 2000s songs "Ballin'" by Mustard, "1 Thing" by Amerie and "Like You" by Bow Wow. Hart led with jokes while also highlighting the BET Ultimate Icon Award winners of the night, including Kirk Franklin, Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg. The special award was given to those that have paid homage to music, entertainment, advocacy and community impact. Presented by Stevie Wonder, Foxx accepted his award and reflected on his recovery journey after having a stroke in 2023. "I gotta be honest, when I saw the in memoriam, I was like, 'Man, that could have been me'," he said. Another honor included the best female hip hop artist award for rising rapper Doechii. "Trump is using military forces to stop protest," Doechii said in her acceptance speech, addressing the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, where the National Guard and U.S. Marines are being deployed. "I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be, when every time we exercise our democratic rights to protest, the military is deployed against us," she added.

Mariah Carey sparks concern with ANOTHER bizarre interview as fans claim she appeared 'detached' and 'off'
Mariah Carey has been called out by fans yet again after another bizarre interview. The diva, 56, appeared on LA radio station KOST 1035 on Friday to promote her new single Type Dangerous. During the interview, some fans claimed that the songstress seemed 'detached' and unlike her usual self. Fans took to social media to share their concern after branding her behavior in the sit-down as 'off.' 'Mariah has been a bit detached lately in interviews - the host did a great job trying to keep her engaged with light-hearted questions,' one user wrote. 'Mariah is usually a talker and she doesn't seem to be connected in these interviews today. She seems a bit off!' added another. A third agreed, 'She definitely seems off. Irritated, bored, not present. Faking a smile and laugh... uncomfortable to watch.' 'I'm an OG lamb from 1990 and mother does seem a bit off. It could be fatigue. I hope she's staying hydrated and taking vitamins,' a fourth post read. One fan suspected that Mariah may not be feeling her best due to some issues in her personal life. 'She has had a rough past year with her breakup from [Bryan Tanaka], and the death of her mother and sister,' they said. 'It can be a very depressing experience to undergo all this all alone. Hopefully she has people around her to check on her wellbeing, and she is comfortable to open up to.' However, many other fans joked that there might be a simple reason behind the hitmaker's lack of energy - she's not a morning person. 'Mariah isn't a morning person... so those who say the interview is off, it's because it's very early for the lady,' explained one. Another added, 'If this was in the morning, she has never been a morning person. Stop disrespecting the Queen. She's fine and she's BACK.' Mariah has previously described herself as 'nocturnal' and revealed that she likes to record late at night. She's also known for sleeping up to 15 hours a night in a room filled with 20 humidifiers to protect her voice. It comes after the We Belong Together singer left some of her Australian fans confused after appearing disinterested as she sat down for an interview with The Project last month. The pop diva gave a series of short answers, sometimes uttering single word responses in a bored monotone while speaking with host Georgie Tunny. When asked how she handles criticism, Mariah replied simply: 'By not coping is what I do.' After a pause she continued: 'I mean, just don't pay attention to it, you know? And everybody else goes through it, so... whatever.' The 56-year-old was also asked what she'd like on her tour bus for her upcoming Aussie tour, to which Mariah oddly replied in deadpan: 'A kangaroo.' Mariah was likewise asked about her notorious love of good lighting, to which she said dismissively: 'Good lighting is everything. I don't know why people even have rooms that are poorly lit.' The interview plodded along at painful length, with some viewers branding it 'bizarre' and even asking if the clip was AI. 'Was that an AI version of MC? That poor lady. I feel sorry for you. You did your best. She hasn't been called a DIVA for no reason... Maybe in the shadow sooner then she likes,' wrote one person. 'Sure she wasn't an AI version of Carey? Weird smile, no eye contact. Bot for sure' someone else asked. 'That was the most bizarre interview!!' yet another chimed in. Despite the controversy, 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.
