Mariah Carey is one demanding diva. British television host Kate Garraway says Carey came on her show with “two people to lower her onto a sofa, in case her dress got crushed, one person to walk in front of her backwards at all times in case she fell over,’’ and several others who insisted that cameramen film her from the right angle. The singer also brought her own roll of toilet paper. A spokeswoman for Carey called the claims “a clear, gross exaggeration.”
