Mariah Carey 'well and truly outranked' by London hotel guest
The 56-year-old pop star stayed in an upmarket hotel in Central London - but Mariah's presence was overshadowed by another guest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Zelensky's entourage made Mariah look tiny by comparison.
"She was well and truly outranked on the luxury ladder.
"Mariah is used to being number one wherever she goes – but this time, she was very much the support act."
The Ukrainian President was "given the royal treatment" during his stay at the plush hotel.
The insider said: "Zelensky's security detail made it clear this wasn't your average celebrity check-in and he was given the royal treatment during his stay."
Meanwhile, Mariah previously confessed to being "high-maintenance".
The chart-topping star thinks she's actually earned the right to be "high-maintenance", having already been through, and achieved, so much in her life.
Asked if she thinks she's high-maintenance, Mariah told the Guardian newspaper: "You know what? I don't give a s***.
"I f****** am high-maintenance because I deserve to be at this point. That may sound arrogant, but I hope you frame it within the context of coming from nothing.
"If I can't be high-maintenance after working my a** off my entire life, oh, I'm sorry – I didn't realise we all had to be low-maintenance. Hell, no! I was always high-maintenance, it's just I didn't have anyone to do the maintenance when I was growing up!"
Mariah doesn't have any qualms with being called a "diva" either.
The pop star insists she doesn't worry about what people are saying about her.
Mariah - who is one of the best-selling artists of all time - said: "Who the f*** cares?
"Honestly! 'Oh my God, they're calling me a diva – I think I'm going to cry!' You think in the grand scheme of things in my life that really matters to me, being called a diva? I am, b******, that's right!"

JoJo Siwa shares unexpected dream collaborator
JoJo Siwa wants to work with Eminem. The Karma singer is keen to "play the entire internet" by secretly teaming up with the Real Slim Shady hitmaker following viral rumours that claimed the rapper hates her. She told The Sun newspaper: 'I'd always say Lady Gaga is my dream collaboration but it's never gonna happen. Now it's Slim Shady. 'I've thought about reaching out and being like, 'Dude, there's this pocket on the internet right now that thinks you absolutely hate me. I think we should play the entire internet.' "I'd say: 'You should do a killer diss track, rip me to shreds . . . and at the ending of the song it's like, 'Oh yeah, by the way, she wrote this.' " JoJo and Eminem have a mutual friend in Sir Elton John, so the former Dance Moms star is hopeful a meeting could happen. Asked if she thinks Elton could introduce them, she said: 'I'm sure he could.' While the 23-year-old star has released three singles in the last few months, the Raspy singer is not planning on making a full album because she doesn't want the "pressure" of reaching sales targets. She said: 'Prior to Big Brother, I was working towards a bigger project, I had an album, and I halted the whole thing as soon as I got out of the house, because I just feel a little more inspired right now to just write and release. 'The things I want to write about are happening right now. 'If Raspy was to go on the album, it wouldn't come out for another nine months. 'Some stuff works for the wrong reasons, you know what I mean? 'People would say Bette Davis Eyes worked for the wrong reasons. And Raspy is working for the right reasons. 'But that's so unpredictable. For me putting all my eggs in this one album basket for it to possibly do good, or probably not do good, I'd rather just not. Why put the pressure on yourself? 'I've had so much pressure on myself, and I'd rather just have fun, and release, and write, and have a good time. 'I've got lawyers signing off on two songs today. I got writers and producers working on another one that I'm recording when I go back home, and we're cooking.'

Alicia Silverstone: I want to make the world a better place
Alicia Silverstone is determined to "make the world a better place". The 48-year-old star has dealt with lots of ups and downs in her acting career, but Alicia feels that her animal rights and environmental activism has helped her to develop a healthy sense of perspective. She told Entertainment Weekly: "We're all humans, so obviously there are things that can hurt your feelings here and there, but I really just got into activism and my desire to make the world a better place." Alicia admits that her outside interests have helped her to cope with career setbacks. She said: "I think that gave me something else to think about. I guess if [acting] was all I had, then perhaps I might be a bit more devastated." Alicia's body was a subject of discussion during her early days in Hollywood. But the actress - who starred in the Clueless film in 1995 - is now philosophical about the situation. She reflected: "We definitely did it differently back then. And that was not easy, for sure. But it's all fine. Nothing to lose sleep over. But certainly something that stays with you." Alicia previously confessed that she was initially "overwhelmed" by fame. The movie star struggled to cope with her celebrity status during her younger years. She told the Guardian newspaper: "I was so overwhelmed by being famous because I was such a young girl and it was never really my intention." Alicia thinks finding fame and success at such an early age means she "missed some emotional steps". However, she also acknowledges there were some positive aspects to her early success. She said: "I think I probably missed some emotional steps that needed to happen in a normal situation of development. "But I also jumped light years ahead in other ways. It's sort of a combo platter. You gain some and you lose some." Alicia also revealed she never struggled to get her voice heard in the movie business. She said: "Unfortunately or fortunately, I do not know, I've never had that problem with my work. "I have had it in my personal life, learning to have a voice in my real life has been harder than having a voice in my work life. Maybe it's because I had success at a young age and sometimes maybe to my detriment, when I should have been wrangled."
