In this topsy-turvy world, it's nice to know some things never change, like the amount of upkeep Mariah Carey requires for a night out. The New York Daily News reports the diva-licious chanteuse needed nine -- yes, nine -- assistants tending to her beauty needs at VH1's Save the Music Foundation fete Thursday night in New York.
Their duties were clearly delineated, with one minion in charge of doling out the double-sided sticky tape (necessary to keep mammose Mariah's perilously plunging purple gown in place), while another sported a Batman-style utility belt filled with brushes and hair spray, and a third carried the all-important hot rollers.
Meanwhile, the New York Post says eight -- yes, eight -- "massive bodyguards" surrounded her at the event, cutting a swath through the little people by announcing, "Get out of the way! Mariah's coming!"
They also made sure her retinue was able to gussy her up in private by closing down the ladies' room for 10 minutes.
Not everyone was impressed by the sublimely over-the-top spectacle that is the big-lunged belter, who was an honoree at the event.
According to the Post, singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton was "overheard cackling, rolling her eyes and making nasty comments throughout Carey's acceptance speech." That wasn't the only time Mariah was met with mocking that night. A Gawker.com operative says she also faced a tough crowd at the Waverly Inn, where she struck a pose for conveniently stationed paparazzi before entering.
Seems her composure "faltered" at one point when a fellow diner yelled out, "We love and support you Britney," sending the hot spot's patrons into twitters.
When someone pointed out the diva in question wasn't Spears, the yukster shot back, "Oh, sorry Lindsay, good luck with your demons."
