Mariah Carey & Her Demands
Mariah Carey has some pretty high-class demands when it comes to booking her for events. I’m sure it’s rough not living her everyday lavish lifestyle but with these demands it may be hard for people to actually book her for events in today’s time. Mariah was scheduled to make an appearance to the World Music Awards where she was set to receive the Special Achievements award. To get Mariah there wasn’t anywhere near cheap, Mariah had requested some pretty high demands like $156,000 private jet transport and of course she needed to stay in the best hotel room available so she stayed in a $15,000 per night penthouse for two nights at Hotel de Paris.
It’s understandable why Mariah Carey needs to charter a whole private jet because she travels with her entourage of 15 stylists and personal assistants. When at the Hotel de Paris, Mariah was given VIP Treatment where renowned chef Alan Ducasse cooked her a private dinner, because apparently the food at the five star hotel just wasn’t good enough. She also requested that Ducasse stay and teach her new husband some cooking lessons. For all these demands, she was only going to be on stage for 15 minutes to accept the Special Achievements Award she was being given. Mariah is a true DIVA!
Common Speaks On Blogs..
Common recently did an interview with Complex and this is what he had to say about blogs.
Complex: How Internet savvy are you? Do you read blogs?
Common: I’m starting to get into it more. I’m about to launch my website it’s called ThinkCommon.com. I’m going to be on it a lot more. I don’t really be on websites, or blogs. Sometimes when I release something I like to see what they’re talking about, but I’m not on them much. I definitely think Nah Right is cool. I also like Hypebeast. I like both of them.

He’s A Lucky One..
It looks like Super Producer Just Blaze got his hands on an AT&T branded BlackBerry Bold. You’re probably thinking “Oh, So what’s so special about this?” Well, according to RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis, AT&T has delayed the release of the Bold on their network due to testing. So cross out that November date that was in your calenders. Good news is AT&T has said it is still scheduled to drop this year. Let’s just hope it doesn’t get delayed again.
Pharrell Prefers A Rolls-Royce Over A Bentley
Pharrell recently did an interview with Motor Trend and he talks about why he loves the Roll-Royce so much.
“every stitch and every tiny detail are brilliant. It’s traditional and consistent quality. They spare nothing. Also, you can drive it just how you’re feeling. It can be a luxury vehicle or you can really put your foot in it and it darts out like an arrow. I had a Bentley but it wasn’t for me. At the end of the day, a Rolls is a Rolls.”
