NO WONDER MARIAH CAREY ENJOYS BEING CALLED A DIVA

Meghan Markle interviewed Mariah Carey for her podcast Archetypes, and the conversation was lighthearted until Mariah casually remarked “You give us diva moments sometimes, Meghan.” Meghan looked horrified and asked “How can you say that?” – NOT the reaction Mariah was looking for. Meghan continued “What kind of diva moments do I give you?” Mariah hastened to explain that it was a COMPLIMENT – due to Meghan’s VISUAL appeal- her beauty, gorgeous ensembles, and glamorous life. “You have everything going for you!” Mariah observed. Meghan thought it over and decided that Mariah meant well, but there are decidedly different ways of interpreting the word diva. The dictionary defines the word diva as a “difficult, temperamental, and demanding person.” For some reason, Mariah connects the word to glamour and success. After this, will she still be flattered when people call HER a diva?

SELF-PROCLAIMED QUEEN OF CHRISTMAS ISN’T FOND OF NYC HEAT

Mariah Carey maintains her true Diva status on the streets of New York no matter what the weather is. As she left an office building dressed in what Mariah considers to be “casual attire,” her doting boyfriend Bryan Tanaka thoughtfully handed her a fan to keep herself cool. Mariah’s bodyguard was waiting outside with an umbrella in case the sun got too hot. All this just to walk to her limo a few steps away…

IS VIN DIESEL THE BIGGEST DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD?

The Telegraph in the UK asked this question and it appears the answer is yes. And Vin Diesel’s former co-star Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson heartily agrees. Director Justin Lin, who worked on 5 Fast & Furious movies and was set to direct the next two, just walked OUT because he cannot bear to work with Diesel again. Lin said the 10 million dollar salary was not worth sacrificing his “mental health.” We all know what Vin’s past costar The Rock thinks of him. The Rock praises his female costars but says the men are a different story. The Rock is known for being a likable guy on all sets and has little patience for tyrants – he doesn’t tattle, but drops hints. Diesel is known for keeping everyone waiting for hours on sets. The Rock turned down BIG money offers to work again with Diesel. Did you know Vin has it written into his contract that he can never be seen LOSING a fight onscreen? Isn’t that just too macho for words!

NOBODY WANTS TO SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT MARIAH CAREY – EVEN IF SHE HAS IT COMING!

Surprise! Mariah Carey has traded her usual exaggerated cleavage at the neckline for TOE cleavage in this photo! In fact her toes seem crammed into those pointy toe heels and they’re probably screaming for mercy. This week it was hesitatingly revealed that Mariah was impossible to work with on two movie cameos she did. Both ended up being cut because she was so late and impossibly demanding. The exasperated stars of the movies leaked a little info and hinted at much more but held back. For SOME reason, Mariah seldom gets called out for her self-indulgences, and it’s NOT because she’s so well respected, if you catch our drift…

MARIAH CAREY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO FASTEN HER OWN SHOES

Mariah Carey seems to be the only one really showing off in Hollywood lately and it’s surprising because she used to be so private. But having a reality show AND being jilted by a billionaire CAN make one more outgoing and self-aggrandizing. Mariah stopped by the Kardashians favorite Epione clinic (we predict bigger lips in her future) and afterward went shopping in Beverly Hills. In the course of the day she changed clothes THREE times so one might assume there were cameras on her. She continued her act of calculated narcissism into an expensive shoe salon where she REFUSED TO LIFT A FINGER. While she sipped wine, AN EMPLOYEE KNELT AND FASTENED THE SHOES she was interested in on her feet. Maybe her velvet biker jacket was so tight she couldn’t lean over…

THE TWO FACES OF TERI HATCHER

The former “Desperate Housewives” star keeps herself in sensational shape, but she still won’t win any popularity contests. Teri Hatcher didn’t exactly endear herself to her costars on any of the series she’s done. There were always rumors that she was difficult and inconsiderate but even more details emerged in the book “Behind the Curtain,” written by a Jay Leno producer. The producer described Hatcher as having two personalities – one was smart and charming, and the other was moody and demanding. You never knew which one you were going to get. Our favorite tidbit described how Teri was furious when she was bumped from a show appearance by President Obama and demanded a Louis Vuitton handbag to ease her pain. She got flowers.

ARIANA GRANDE: LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING

Could little Ariana Grande LOOK any sweeter? Too bad the tiny dynamo with a ponytail is shaping up to be a terrible diva. When we first heard peeps that Ariana, 21, was uncooperative and demanding, we didn’t pay much attention. But where there’s smoke there’s fire. More and more reports of her being a gigantic pain in the neck keep surfacing. If she gives an interview, it is preceded by a long list of questions that CANNOT be asked. In photo sessions she only wants to be shot from her good side, not in natural light, AND she has to approve every pic. Her minions have been known to threaten uncooperative photographers. She and Justin Bieber are both managed by Scooter Braun – maybe he should consider sending both of his clients to charm school.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND IGGY AZALEA: WHO’S THE BIGGER DIVA?

Jennifer Lopez has always had a reputation as a major diva when it comes to demands, but she’s usually quite friendly to coworkers and fans. J.Lo appeared on MTV’s House of Style recently with the new host Iggy Azalea, 24. The two singers appeared in an episode filming at the Versace store in Beverly Hills. An eyewitness told The Hollywood Reporter that Iggy was by far the bigger diva! Iggy arrived with a big entourage, wearing sunglasses that she refused to take off. She scowled the whole time and only smiled when the camera was on. When the shoot moved outside, Iggy grimaced and avoided people while Jennifer smiled and greeted everyone. Jennifer was gracious to all and did everything she was asked to do while Iggy sulked impatiently. Imagine what Iggy will be like in a few years…

FREDDIE PRINZE JR IS OUR HERO FOR TELLING THE TRUTH!

How can you NOT love Freddie Prinze Jr for telling it like it IS? The “I Know What You Did Last Summer” star costarred on the eighth season of “24” with Kiefer Sutherland and made it clear that working with Sutherland was no picnic. In fact , Freddie “hated every minute of it.” It was Kiefer’s “lack of professionalism” that made Freddie contemplate quitting show business! Obviously everyone kowtowed on the set to their precious star Kiefer and he was a self-centered diva. Despite his legendary boozing, Kiefer showed up for work, but probably in a horrible state much of the time. We only wish Freddie had provided MORE details! We love the way he made fun of Kiefer’s height by revealing he had to take off his shoes in scenes with him. Thanks, Freddie – honesty in Hollywood is delightful!
(Above, Kiefer, who claims to be 5’9,” and 6’1″ Freddie in a scene from “24”)

IS JOAN RIVERS GOING OFF HER ROCKER?

Joan’s recent behavior really makes you wonder… First she insulted the first lady and the president, then she walked off a CNN interview—all in the course of promoting her new book “Diary of a Mad Diva.” It would be nice if this were all an act to drum up PR for the book, but her questionable, often angry behavior began last year. The overworked writers who provide jokes for Joan on the E! channel’s Fashion Police were sadly underpaid and they asked Joan to support them in unionizing. Joan was outraged and refused. Keep in mind, Chelsea Handler and Joel McHale HAD gone to bat for their employees at the notoriously cheap E! and got them union wages. Writers on strike lost their jobs and Joan didn’t care. We were shocked to hear this because back in the 90’s when we appeared on Joan’s talk show she was incredibly generous and kind. Joan seems to have some kind of anger problem now and we hope she gets a grip. It’s not pretty.
