According to London’s Daily Mail, Mariah loves being surrounded by animals but her demands for her forthcoming guest appearance at West London’s Westfield complex were rejected due to health and safety concerns.

“We did manage to source the doves that we were going to release into the sky, but the kittens proved terribly difficult. In the end, it was made clear that due to health and safety, there was no way we could have the animals at Westfield. We do not allow pets into Westfield – that rule would apply for everyone,” a rep for the shopping center told the tabloid.

Mariah also wants to be peppered with butterfly-shaped confetti driven as she drives along a pink carpet in a Rolls Royce, flanked by 80 security guards.

“We have worked extremely hard to make sure that Mariah’s event is fantastic. Even the model of car had to be changed six times to one that her people liked.”

She told CNN’s Larry King Live Wednesday: “Abuse has several categories. Emotionally, mentally, in other ways. I just think you get into a situation and you feel locked in. If your situation is similar to one of the situations I’ve been in, which I won’t harp on. For me, to really get out, it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage but a business thing where the person was in control of my life.”

“You know Rihanna. What did you make of that story,” Larry asked her.

“You know, I was very sequestered, as you know, when I first started out and if I were just allowed to be young and with a young boyfriend who’s also a star and you know, you’re working and you’re both… I don’t know what goes on,” Mariah said. “You know what I mean? I wasn’t really allowed out of the house, so I can’t imagine what she went through.”

See at the 19 minute mark…

The diva — once panned as a horrible actress for her cinematic disaster Glitter — has wowed critics with her performance as a dowdy social worker in the poignant story of an abused teenage girl, but she reveals The Queen star Mirren was originally offered the role.

“Someone told me Helen Mirren had been offered the role of the social worker, but had to pull out. So it was daunting to try and fill the shoes of this great Academy Award-winning actress, but then I decided to snap myself out of that mindset and figure out what I could bring to the role.”

An informant tattles: “It was Mariah’s party, but Rihanna didn’t want to be seen with her. And Mariah was not going over to greet Rihanna. Mariah needed six guards to clear a path to the bathroom so her wings wouldn’t be dislodged.”

The five-octave hitmaker was performing the final concert of her shortlived Sin City residency at The Palms last when she turned the floor over to a marriage-minded man with hopes of proposing to his BF.

Maurie Sherman, 31, tells The Los Angeles Times he worked for six months to find someone who would relay his intentions to propose his now-fiance, Mathew Almeida, onstage at the show in Vegas.

Somehow Mariah got word and she made his dream come true.

Maurie took inspiration from Mariah’s husband Nick Cannon by getting down on one knee and presenting his partner with a candy ring, similar to the one the America’s Got Talent host gave to the superstar singer last year.

Mariah celebrated with the couple by toasting their happy news with champagne.

We don’t know what exactly happened to the hot, talented Mariah Carey we used to love…but she’s been replaced by a fatty.

Hey, Mariah Fans, while you were sleeping, Madame Butterfly and her favorite personal accessory — hubby Nick Cannon — appeared on The TODAY Show to promote the release of MiMi’s new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. The songbird belted out a string of singles, including “Obsessed,” “Make It Happen,” and her rendition of Foreigner’s 1984 ballad “I Want To Know What Love Is.”
