British Host Is Sorry For Calling Mimi A Diva

Filed under: Mariah Carey

wenn2663094_e.jpg

GMTV's Kate Garraway was forced to apologize by her higher-ups after saying Mariah Carey "acted like a diva" when she brought her gigantic entourage with her while appearing on the show.

Why? It's the truth!

Naturally, Mariah is in denial was upset by the name calling so Kate issued this apology:

'I am really sorry about the furore I caused last week after I wrote in this column about Mariah Carey's appearance on GMTV. Especially because I am told it has upset the star herself, which is the last thing I intended.

You will remember I said how nice Mariah was. Everyone at GMTV loved having her on and her performance, typically, blew us all away. But it was wrong for me to add some jokes and gossip about her being a diva. Her management have now told me that I got hold of the wrong end of the stick completely and I am still reeling from the massive ticking off my bosses gave me for fuelling the rumours that Mariah is unreasonably demanding.

Of course a star of Mariah's magnitude is bound to have a lot of people around her when she appears on a show like GMTV, especially as in this instance she also had a group of backing singers as well - no one would expect anything less. Let's face it - the world would be a much duller place without people like Mariah and it's only because they are such stars that we all love to gossip about them.

I am so sorry, Mariah, and I really hope that you come back to the UK soon"

So unnecessary!

Mimi, when you make demands like wanting to be surrounded by 20 white kittens, you're a D-I-V-A!

Embrace it, you've earned the title.

      I thought DIVA meant Devine Individual Vagina Association. Few can enter the club. Ask Cher.



    2. 2

      You swear like Mariah really asked for those kittens and doves!! And whatever at least she can be a diva!!



    3. 3

      Can I pee on you Mimi?



    4. 4

      No apology was necessary - the B*tch IS a Diva



    5. 5

      It might not even be mariah behind this. maybe her management does not want mariah to say, hey, yes, I do have too many people with me, ditch 3/4 of the do nothings. maybe her management did not even call and the station wanted the idiot to apologize. calling someone a diva is not the best way to try to get mariah back in the future. and I have seen alot of mariah's dresses, they are painted on, she probably did need 2 people to help her up and down from the couch.



    6. 6

      Mimi is a mental case. She'll end up alone in her little pony castle surrounded by hello kitty crap and butterflies singing into a hair brush, all the while squeezed into a spandex mini dress. Grow up already!!



    7. 7

      Who cares. There's a lot worse things than calling someone a diva. That's why Perez keeps censoring my comments. I'm just telling it like it is Mario.



    8. 8

      Agreed no apology needed. She's a Diva… Get over it Mariah



    9. 9

      Is she ever going away?? It's not the 90s anymore, Mariah, you're old and not relevant anymore, just take that money of yours and go live a luxurious life on a tropical island, but please stop whoring yourself out in the media, because nobody cares about you.

      Also, can anyone explain to me what those + and - signs above every comment mean? They seem pretty much useless since they don't generate a score based on clicking + and -, like for example YouTube's thumb up and thumb down.

      Bitch please. Mariah is the diva of all divas, and not in a good way. No apology necessary.



    11. 11

      So fuuny during the good time 80" and 90" she loved being called a "Diva" but honey Diva has always been a secret word for "Bitch" now com'on U know that



    12. 12

      -
      Diva is difficult to prove. Should have called her ugly or fat or talentless or bat-shit crazy - all of those things are facts.

      Re: Laury – MARIAH WASNT ON THE 80's WTF! LMAO!!! DUMB***



    14. 14

      Perez, you're such a liar. That kittens and doves bullshit was totally made up.



    15. 15

      Forced to apologize for calling Mariah a DIVA? Doesn't VH-1 have a concert that promotes such singers as DIVAs? Doesn't Mimi get paid to do a cellphone commercial where she's arriving at a hotel, and a lowly bellboy is sent scrambling all around town to get all her required amenities? She'll cash a check for a commercial showing she's a DIVA, but if you call her one, you have to APOLOGIZE!?!

      Oh puhleese…Kate wasn't the first nor will she be the last person to call Mariah a Diva! If it walks like a duck and acts like a duck…..



    18. 18

      THIS IS SO FUCKING OLD PEREZ! it was like 2 weeks ago, your always way late these day, all your news it litrally over 3 days old when you get it SAD!

      Re: killerswan – Ha ha so true! Mariah is a mental case. Somone please check her into a psych ward again.

      How can she say she's not a diva??? Why appologize…she is a fat diva. Big deal. It is what it is. What annoys me about Mariah is she has no reason to be a diva. Sure she has number one singels…big deal. Her last few albums have bombed majorly around the world. Even her last CD just debut at #23 in the UK!! The 2nd largest music market in the world and she debuts at #23???? And she claims to be the biggest selling female aritst. Sorry Mariah, that title belongs to Madonna. Her album debut at #1 in multiple countries, not #23.



    20. 20

      MARIAH SOLD 250 M ALBUMS WORLDWIDE
      FAT COW MADONNA SOLD ONLY 200 M
      MARIAH HAS 18 # 1 SINGLES
      UGLY SHIT MADONNA HAS ONLY 13
      MADONNA IS UGLY LIKE FUCK



    21. 21

      THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST IN HISTORY IS MARIAH THEN CELINE COMES 2ND MADONNA IS IN THE THIRD PLACE
      SHE IS NOT SUCCESSFUL AT ALL IN THE USE

      MADONNA IS THE QUEEN OF FLOPS AND SHITS



    24. 24

      mariah was seen walking to the couch on her own, i watched her. so she made the shit up. Kate should say sorry and bow down to Queen Mariah.



    25. 25

      Seriously… The woman is a DIVA! Why have to apologize for telling the truth… And why are all these "Divas" in denial?



    26. 26

      God…retire already! Go off and have kids with your new hubby before you're too old to reproduce, and leave us alone. Please??



    27. 27

      Hey b, ym & vym mssssss! Yatsci nrhwywi. So much we could be doing! Yn ym 46 hmaw



    28. 28

      Re: rocco1234 – considering she was on x factor as well, that is a pretty poor performance, rihanna was on it on sunday and her single is a t #1 on uk itunes, so was alicia keys (she did a medly of songs) and that got her new song to #6 on itunes, empire state of mind back up to #7 and even no one back up to the top 30. so considering all the promo mariahs done its a poor performance



    29. 29

      Absolutely ridiculous!!! This is the reason why we have freedom of speech! If someone is being stupidly demanding because they THINK they have that right based on being able to sing…we have that right to call them out on their unnecessary behavior! I am so sick and tired of these singers thinking that their shit doesn't stink and treating people around them like servants and slaves to keep an image up. STFU Mariah…your time has come to turn your fat ass in and let the new generation come up. You are not worth the time, trouble and energy spent pleasing your stupid ass.



    30. 30

      Re: madonna is shit – You are obviously as mental as your idol. Fuck off please and keep your idiot statements about Mariah to yourself or on her own website. None of us care here dimwit.



    31. 31

      LEAVE MIMOO ALONE!!!!

      ….AHAHAHAHAHA.



    32. 32

      Re: madonna is shit – OMG are you serious…???? Grow up!!!! LOL who would create a name like yours??

      And if you want to get technical about album sales…Madonna has sold more than Mariah. Look it up…Globally Madonna is a bigger seller. Her tours have done MUCH MUCH better and she has the top tour for a solo artist ever. And Madonna has 13 UK number one singles and 11 UK number one albums, the 2nd largest market in the world. Mariah has two hit singles in the UK. In the US it's fairly close….so globally the title would go to Madonna whether you like it or not.

      PLEASE don’t be immature about your points of view regardless of who you’re a fan of.

      BITCH SAID…"While Mariah was very nice, the amount of people she had in her entourage was hilarious. They outnumbered the entire GMTV crew!" ……Guess she meant the back up singers. MARIAH was performing 'i want 2 know what luv is', she has a gospel choir on that 1.

      Kate stop apologizing!!! I personally met someone who had to endure her demands.And she said after that she stopped listening to her music.I hate people like that.They forget where they come from and then suddenly they can't even put their own pants on.I think it is too late for Mariah because I think her mind left this world long time ago. Cuckoo for cocoa puffs :)

      Yes, and if management tells you the sky is red, then the sky is red. Kate may be eating crow, but her eyes are still good.

      If you get upset about being called a diva to a point that you speak to the person's bosses about her, rather than just rolling with it, then you are a diva.
      As for the apology i could almost feel her bosses fingers on top of hers typing this and her tongue firmly planted in her cheek.

      Re: madonna is shit – You are wrong. Streisand's latest album kicked Mariah's latest album's a** last I heard. Barbra Streisand has produced albums reaching number one in four consecutive decades and is the top album-selling female recording artist. A ten-time Grammy honoree, her 51 gold albums, 30 platinum albums,18 multi-platinum albums and 29 top ten albums are all records for female singers. She's the only artist ever to receive Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Directors Guild of America, Golden Globe, National Endowment for the Arts and Peabody Awards, as well as the American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award. She is also the first female film director to receive the Kennedy Center Honors. She won Oscars for both Best Actress and Best Song Composer, and the three films she directed received 14 Oscar nominations. A leading film star in dramas, comedies and musicals, her latest film became the top-grossing live-action comedy ever. Nice try. (from her bio.)



    44. 44

      As Mariah's full time ass wiper, I take offense at my boss being called a diva!!!
      She pays me well to handle the toilet paper for her, so what?
      THe towel drying guy agrees with me.



    45. 45

      Yeah, but Mariah didn't ask for an apology. Kate's boss(forgot his name) said her bashing on Mariah made them seem unprofessional, which is the reason for the apology. Mariah recognizes she is a DIVA but Kate said it in a very unprofessional and rude way. Anybody that disagrees with this is just a hater that should be ignored.

      Oh yeah, there were never any kittens and doves.

      Fucking LOL @ Perez for believeing that. He has such trustworthy "sources".



    46. 46

      Perez you fucker!! Why didn't say how she apologized about the kitten and dove claim?? You know how to make things look fake! She apologized for making that rumor up as well!!~

      Yeah, calling someone a fat diva is really mature. Madonna vs Mariah comparisons are so 90s.

      This bitch is way past it. She was beaten by the Chris Moyles parody album in the charts, and 2 dead people.
