Pop legend announced for show
Pop legend Mariah Carey, 55, needs little introduction ... she's as famous for her diva antics as her music.
Mariah reportedly likes to have a tea service for eight people available in her dressing room — and insists that only Poland Springs water be used for the tea.
But for drinking water, she likes another brand: "Please note that 16-oz. plastic bottles of Evian are the only acceptable bottles of water for the dressing rooms," reads the backstage rider to one of her tour contracts.
She sparked concern recently with her "slurred speech" during the iHeartRadio Awards, with fans insisting "there is something wrong!".

Aston Merrygold in fight against Warner Music over rights to hit song
JLS star Aston Merrygold has publicly accused Warner Music UK of repeatedly attempting to block his 2015 solo hit Get Stupid, despite claiming he owns the master recording. The singer took to his Instagram Stories to share his frustration, posting a screenshot of a removed video that featured the track, allegedly taken down due to copyright issues. 'To this very day @warnermusicuk @warnermusic you continue to try block this s*** even tho I own the master? This s*** is CRAZY!' he wrote. 'From conception people really been trying to stop this train… I appreciate all the love always from my day ones.. teAM.' Merrygold said he used to be 'fuming' over the situation, but now treats it with humour, adding that he expects more takedown notices from Warner in future. The dispute comes just weeks after Merrygold was rushed to hospital. He shared photos from the back of an ambulance, including one showing him giving a thumbs-up while lying on a stretcher with a drip in his hand. 'It's been an interesting 13 hrs,' he captioned the post, without disclosing what had caused the emergency. His hospitalisation followed JLS's surprise appearance at Capital's Summertime Ball, where the reunited boyband performed for a crowd of 80,000 at Wembley Stadium. The performance marked a high point in a busy year for Merrygold and his bandmates (Marvin Humes, JB Gill, and Oritsé Williams) as they gear up for their 2025 The Club Is Alive UK tour, which includes shows in Glasgow and London's O2 Arena. Merrygold first rose to fame in 2008 on The X Factor, where JLS finished second to Alexandra Burke. More Trending The group went on to achieve five UK number-one singles and sell millions of records before initially disbanding in 2013. Since then, Merrygold has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, The Masked Singer, and recently voiced a character in the upcoming Disney/Pixar film Elio. While he hasn't shared any legal plans regarding the alleged interference from Warner, his post adds to the ongoing conversation around artist rights and control in the music industry. Got a story?

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) POPSTAR Jessie J has revealed a huge life shift amid her breast cancer battle. Jessie, 37, has been keeping fans up-to-date with her health journey, after first being diagnosed with the disease last month. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Jessie J has revealed a huge move and big life decision amid her breast cancer battle Credit: Instagram 6 Jessie has kept fans up to date with her health since her diagnosis last month - and has now revealed she's sold up her LA pad Credit: jessiej/Instagram 6 The Price Tag vocalist, 37, recently marked one month since her mastectomy Credit: Instagram The Brit-born songstress doesn't know if she is cancer free after her mastectomy - and has spoken openly about her "delayed sadness" following her operation. Earlier this month, the Price Tag vocalist and mum of one told fans that she was creating space to be "angry and sad" and mourn the loss of her breast. Now the mum of one is upping sticks from Los Angeles and moving back to home turf. Jessie told how she was selling her US pad after a decade in an emotional video-post on Instagram. She uploaded a video showing her running in California's Fryman Canyon last month and revealed to fans in the caption: "June 1st - I flew to LA for just under 48 hours. "This quick trip was for a little work but also to say goodbye to my LA house (that had just sold) which was my home for just over a decade. "This hike was my and will always be one of my favourite places in studio city. "So grateful I got to have so many happy years in LA, and to visit quickly before my surgery and see some of my favourite people and make memories like this." She then added the hashtag "#livingmybestlife." Her property sale comes after The Sun exclusively revealed the chart star's new telly role. Jessie J 'crying happy tears' as she reveals cancer update and sweet video of her son The former The Voice judge will be a guest performer on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing later this year. TOUGH JOURNEY Jessie revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in June with a hugely emotional statement. Incredibly, she went ahead and performed at this year's Capital Summertime Ball in London on June 15. Jessie held back tears as she told the crowd at Wembley Stadium that she was taking a break to "beat breast cancer". Jessie J's cancer diagnosis statement in full THE singer took to social media with a candid video where she revealed her news. She said: "Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word early. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period, I just wanted to be open and share it, one because selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse, that's the bit that kills me. "I just want to and just let you guys know it wasn't something I'd planned. But yeah, I'm getting to keep my nipples. That's good. "It's a weird topic and a weird situation, and I know that the press are going to say crazy stuff, but you know, what to get diagnosed with this as I'm putting out a song called No Secrets right before, a song called Living My Best Life. "Which was all pre planned before I found out about this. I mean, you can't make it up. It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. "I am going to disappear for a bit after summertime ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t**s and more music." Jessie was then left in tears in a heartbreaking video taken straight after her surgery. Jessie also recently clarified she was not "cancer free" after some fans misinterpreted her comments. Last week, she made a heartbreaking admission as she marked her month milestone since her operation. Again taking to social media, she revealed "some days are hard", and that she missed being able to "pick up" her son Sky. Jessie wrote: "It will be 4 weeks since my breast cancer surgery on Saturday. I am feeling good. "Some days are harder than others." 6 She doesn't yet know if she is cancer free Credit: Instagram 6 Jessie has spoken openly about her 'delayed sadness' following her operation Credit: Instagram

Roman Kemp ‘calls out' Olly Murs after awkward on-stage moment
The One Show star was reflecting on a recent appearance alongside Olly Murs after the pair competed in a celebrity darts tournament in London The One Show's Roman Kemp has called out Olly Murs after the pair recently appeared together on stage in front of thousands of fans. Earlier this month, celebrities were paired up with darts pros as they went head-to-head to see who would come out on top in a game of darts at the Hyde Park Darts Championship. The new competition, created by the PDC (Professional Darts Corporation), saw Roman join fellow celebs including Olly Murs, Dion Dublin, and Joe Swash, who were each partnered with a darts pro such as Luke Littler and Luke Humphries. Reflecting on the eagerly fought competition during a recent episode of his You About? podcast with Tom Grennan, Roman recalled his impressive display, throwing two "triple 20s." After narrowly missing out on the top spot—making it all the way to the finals—the radio host shared how Joe Swash and his partner, Fallon Sherrock, came out as deserved winners. Despite that, he revealed that the celebs had initially been lulled into a false sense of security by Joe before he went on to win the competition: "He kind of hustled us a little bit, because in the little area beforehand, we were all just practicing and he was c**p." However, he was less than impressed with how prepared one of his fellow celebrities was for the event, saying: "I'm going to call Olly out here. He turned up with his own shirt that had his name on it, all over it." He added: "Then his own darts—weighted darts—that had his name on them." But despite coming fully prepared for the occasion, Roman noted that the singer "went out first," adding, "So it was like, Olly's got to step that up." Away from trying his hand at darts, Roman has been a prominent figure in broadcasting in recent years. After originally co-hosting the Capital Breakfast show, last year he swapped radio for TV when he began co-hosting several programmes, including The One Show. Alongside his slew of hosting roles, many will also know him for his third-place finish on I'm A Celeb in 2019, as well as playing alongside fellow celebrities for England in Soccer Aid earlier this year. Roman has also used his platform to explore issues surrounding mental health, including the release of his BBC series Roman Kemp: Our Silent Emergency, which launched in 2021. He is also set to launch a new country-wide mental health initiative next month.
