Mariah Carey’s Need For Bendy Straws Irks Chinese Promoters?

10/26/06, 5:15 pm EST

When we think about Mariah Carey we imagine negligees, industrial-sized vanilla-scented candles, and Bonne Bell bubblegum LipSmackers. But when Hong Kong-based concert promoters Concerts Asia think about Mariah, they apparently imagine a nightmare-ish diva with very few ticket-buying fans and outrageous requirements. A statement on the promoter’s Web site read, in part: “As promoters of the Mariah Carey Hong Kong concert, we have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans.”

The Smoking Gun acquired Carey’s tour rider (note: not sure of the date on this), which gives us some sense of what Mariah’s like on tour. After perusing it, we picture her lounging with some combination of her twelve fluffy bath towels, munching diet cheese, and sipping Cristal out of a bendy straw. Seriously, though? Nothing on here is THAT outrageous. What did she do to piss off the Chinese?

I’m glad…lmfao! I seriously have to laugh. I hate that fat cow.

R-n-R | 10/26/2006, 7:18 pm EST

Really, who cares much if they don’t have a f-ing straw with an f-ing bendy part? Take it with you if you want it, you have the money and they don’t take up a lot of space. Maybe one of your 58 touring assistants can take it, or better yet, hire one more for only bendy straws.

Stars get what they want.They are better than average folks (FACT!) & deserve the best.

Chuck | 10/26/2006, 8:50 pm EST

What did she do? She’s Mariah fucking Carey dude!

Jamie III | 10/26/2006, 9:08 pm EST

She is not a fat cow. Get over your insecurities.

Later !!!

Asian Girl | 10/26/2006, 9:33 pm EST

You really think demanding for a bendy straw is not a big deal!!???
Well, why don’t you tell “Mary” to go home and fix her “Ohhh…I a STAR” attitude then you are welcome to Asia!!!! Note: We Asian DO NOT LIKE STUCK UP!!!

You Think!! | 10/26/2006, 9:39 pm EST

Yeah…I am you’re follower Asian Girl. Cos when you die,you only leave behind your name and your reputation. So,you can’t take the STRAW with you darling…..

Dottie | 10/27/2006, 12:41 am EST

uhh… I heard she was going to be on Leno but didnt go on because he didnt supply her with the completly white room she wanted and a bunch of other nonsense.P.S. In regards to “I WANNA RIM LINDSAY LOHAN” comment, Celebrities are not above avrage anymore. they usally are just scadalis. your comment proves how ignorant and mind numbing pop cultre has become now adays.

readytorock | 10/27/2006, 12:48 am EST

what a waste of space she is.

Funny How It Is | 10/27/2006, 1:06 am EST

Its funny how much we discuss celeberities as though we know them.

Owen H. | 10/27/2006, 1:26 am EST

Maybe thats why she had her nervous breakdown. They didnt supply her with a bendy straw to suck down her liquid vicodin. Nothing more than a vaginal discharge…

Poki | 10/27/2006, 1:40 am EST

I can’t wait till Gene Simmons gets MC knocked up like TomKat! MC has no tallent, no looks but neither does Gene. Sorry Gene but your taste in women sucks. What your really need is “Thriller” Michael can give the love your looking for, and you don’t have to get married! Dump Shannon, she’s too gurly for u…

Kyle | 10/27/2006, 1:58 am EST

LMAO!!

Guess this slams the final nail on the much overrated and repeatedly re-released ‘Emancipation of Mimi’ Era … lol what a joke she turned out to be…

not another one | 10/27/2006, 2:31 am EST

I’m sad. It’s not that I wanted to see Mariah in particular, but in the the last year I’ve had tickets for Kylie Minogue (who cancelled because of cancer), Robbie Williams (who cancelled because of drug addition) and now Mariah and her bendy straws. It’s sad times for international music in Hong Kong.

Notsomuch | 10/27/2006, 7:54 am EST

Will someone please put this woman out of her misery. Enough Mimi, it had one good song, put it to rest. Why would pay to see her in the first place. She’s tried and needs to put on some clothes and cover up that body.

Bilo | 10/27/2006, 8:14 am EST

what the f*ck are you b*tches babbling about?

Nate | 10/27/2006, 8:22 am EST

I think Mariah Carey needs to get over herself. In addition, people need to stop humoring her…stop buying her music…stop saying she sings well…stop the vicious cycle now!!

Love cup | 10/27/2006, 9:34 am EST

She’s hot and full of her self, what’s new.She’s not the hot new voice on the block anymore.Time to move on.

George | 10/27/2006, 9:47 am EST

WHALE!

George | 10/27/2006, 9:48 am EST

WHALE! WHALE!

Tony | 10/27/2006, 10:00 am EST

The fact of the matter is that Mariah is not an entertainer and has no power on stage. She can’t sell tickets because she can’t put on a show. Her lackluster tour of the US played to very few sold out shows and most areans were about 75-80 percent full. Point is she really does need to get overhelf because no-one but herself is really impressed with anything she’s done or is doing. It truly is time to move on.

margey way | 10/27/2006, 10:53 am EST

Mariah, don’t get yourself work up with all these rubbish ,you are indeed a great woman,keep on doing the good job and who doesn’t like it can go to hell its pure envy and jealousy

Hugh Jakauck | 10/27/2006, 12:37 pm EST

Mariah Carey is a mentally unstable, silicone injected, mad cow. She is SOOO over…she just hasn’t read that e-mail yet.
PS. She should jam all those bendy straws up her enormous ass…with the rest of that junk in her trunk.

Steve | 10/27/2006, 1:00 pm EST

Like the Lips say, you cannot know yourself and what you’d do with all your power. I think the Roman emperor Nero use to throw people off of cliffs for entertainment.

Dr. Monkey | 10/27/2006, 1:09 pm EST

she should buy a mountain!

Tony | 10/27/2006, 4:00 pm EST

Wow some of these comments are more entertaining that her last concert. She does not belong on a stage. Someone should get her off the stage before she hurts someone or herself.

Roy | 10/27/2006, 4:24 pm EST

I wonder why we pamper *any* entertainers like we do. . .it’s not about talent, for there are folks with a lot more talent that who are not superstars.

No, Mariah was “made” a star by the machine. And how do we know that someone is a star?

Because they get away with stuff that real people wouldn’t even try.

It’s a vicious cycle, people. And our eagerness to listen to and like what others think is popular fuels the fires.

lettie | 10/29/2006, 2:58 am EST

I’m willing to bet that the real reason the promoters cancelled her concert is not because of her demands or low ticket sales. It is because of her tacky ways. I mean, no DIVA would ever drink Cristal out of bendy straws. TACKY!!! I’m even insulted.

THIS ISN’T TRUE! This is a lie the reason her show was canceled because of the promoters made a mistake.

ohmagawd u peeps needa get al life and stop talkin about the people who actually have one! Mariah carey is nawt fat! she is my all time idol and she definently rawks. so wat if she wanted a bendy straw? just give her da bendy staw and let her live her fabolous life that she worked hard to get. If all yall pple think u r so great and that she isnt, lets c u try to sell billions of albums, hit a note that is so high it touches the clouds, pull of different outfits and still make them and urself look gewd, and be where she is today. Mariah carey is the best of the best and if u dont noe that u must b da worst of da worst. Stop hatin and start appriciating i stand by Mariah 100% and she has every right 2 b a diva and ask 4 bendy straws cuz she absolutly RAWKS!!!!! ily M.C.

deedee | 3/31/2008, 4:43 pm EST

first of all hahah fat no way in hell is mariah carey fat. second of all every one has there own opinion and is allowed to express individually how they feel. but all i have to say for my personal opinion is she rocks, she works really hard to do what she does, her voice is amazing and for any body else who disagree’s IF U HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO SAY DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL:d HOLAAA

Tressa Mae~ | 4/24/2008, 4:37 pm EST

MC is an amazing singer! Yes, she likes nice things. And yes, she wears showy clothes. But SHE HAS THE MONEY TO DO IT. AND THE BODY AS WELL!!!! She is gorgeous. Also, she wears those clothes to match her songs, and to get more guys fans. It’s just true!
