By all accounts, Carey’s appearance at Wednesday’s E! She’s getting hitched to billionaire James Packer, has an upcoming Las Vegas residency and a new docu-series on the horizon. “I kind of can’t help but give notes”.

Carey stressed Packer was not a professional entertainer and that the reality TV world was not his natural habitat. With a lot of them, either the premise is interesting or the talent is interesting – it’s rare to see something and think, “I can not imagine why they’re making this”.
“I can’t speak for what he thinks because he is his own guy and we are not together anymore”.
“Oh, it was the most abusive experience. By the way you have just driven me to drink”.
“I don’t do shade”, she replied quickly.
“They can have their own show because that’s how amusing they are”.
“He’s not an entertainer, that’s not what he does, so I can’t expect him to change his whole thing”, Carey said. “I’m a fan of the show”, she added.
“I’m sorry, was that rude in some way?” she continued.
Even her pre-show was a show, dahling: before she arrived on stage, waiters swarmed through the ballroom and placed Veuve Clicquot on everyone’s table, then Compartes chocolate with her name on it as well as her #1 to Infinity CD. “There’s a few”, Carey said.
Carey has TV guilty pleasures too! “I really do love Scandal”. Referring in particular about when she frequently butted heads with Nicki Minaj, she said “it was like going to work every day in hell with Satan” in an interview with radio station Hot 97. “I owe this to the fans”. “I can be bossy, but I try to be a nice person”. “We’ll see. I think it should be sparring”. They arranged themselves as a human couch on which she first sat briefly before moving to the actual couch. So all I can say is that I know what I did, but I don’t know what somebody else did.
Hopefully, Mariah’s World will show at least a bit of what Carey is all about, whether it is a reality commonly defined or not. “I’m so not trying to slay anybody”. “But we have talks, and they sing, and they play music”.
‘I’m just playing; it didn’t affect me that much’.

It’s not called Nick Cannon’s World, darling. “And he is a really good DJ”. The 46-year-old pop princess was there to promote her upcoming E! docuseries, Mariah’s World as well as her forthcoming Sweet Sweet Fantasy concert tour, but she was also asked about her personal life and time on American Idol.
