It's all her zone." Tipping the other end of the scale, her co-host Chris Stark said: "Will Smith by the way is the most chilled, like he's just wandering around. "He was in catering, he just went and sat himself down and got himself some food. Most read in Music "It's incredible, he's so chilled."

Despite the London heat, she finished her look with a pair of thigh high boots and dark sunglasses. Mariah Carey's biggest diva moments MARIAH Carey is known for her diva antics off-stage. Here we take a look at her most OTT moments. Kitten demand : In 2009, Mariah allegedly demanded a rider filled with 20 white kittens and 100 white doves before turning on Westfield's Christmas lights - a request that was denied by retail bosses Birthday snub: Recently she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: "I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling." Selfie rules : Previously she told of her selfie rule to Buzzfeed and confessed: "I don't need to take a selfie with someone from their bleak angle; I don't care for that." Bright light : Mariah previously said: "I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses. I know it's very Nineties." Show demand : ITV anchor Kate Garraway said that when she interviewed Mariah in 2009 the famous singer (and infamous diva) was LOWERED onto the GMTV sofa by two ITV producers so that she wouldn't crease her dress. She also had an assistant walk backwards in front of her at all times in case she fell over. As you do. She closed the show with her hit, We Belong Together, after belting out classics Fantasy and Emotions. Fans were quick to take to X to praise Mariah's vocals and one put: "What a show… Mariah Carey LIVE in the UK!!" A second added: "Mariah's mic was ON and she sounded and looked amazing! Perfect finish!" A third wrote: "Mariah looks and sounds so divine I could cry." MARIAH'S MOMENTS The star's diva demands and confessions have gone down in the showbiz history books. Recently she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: "I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling." Mariah is also renowned for her super slim-fitting clothing choices, often accessorised with towering heels. And she has strong opinions on flats and said: "I can't wear flat shoes. My feet repel them," she said. Previously she told of her selfie rule to Buzzfeed and confessed: "I don't need to take a selfie with someone from their bleak angle; I don't care for that." Also, there's a reason why she always in shades: "I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses. "I know it's very Nineties." 6 The US songstress had removed any branding from her dressing room Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 She closed the show with her hit We Belong Together Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 Mariah is known for her diva demands and recently revealed her 'rule' for sunglasses Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Police foil bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga's Rio de Janeiro concert
Police foil bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga's Rio de Janeiro concert Show Caption Hide Caption Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga and win iHeartRadio Awards Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga and more took home wins at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Brazilian police said on May 4 that they had thwarted a bomb attack planned for Lady Gaga's historic concert that drew more than 2 million people to Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on May 3. The Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro state, working in coordination with the Justice Ministry, said the plot was orchestrated by a group promoting hate speech and the radicalization of teenagers, including self-harm and violent content as a form of social belonging. According to the Rio city hall, 2.1 million people attended the pop icon's concert. "The suspects were recruiting participants, including minors, to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails," the police said in a statement. 'Mayhem': Lady Gaga 'reassembles shattered mirror' on new studio album The Justice Ministry said the recruiters identified themselves as members of Gaga's global fan base, known as the "Little Monsters." The operation was based on a report by the ministry's Cyber Operations Lab following a tipoff from Rio state police intelligence, which uncovered digital cells encouraging violent behavior among teenagers using coded language and extremist symbolism. Lady Gaga: The pop icon reveals how her fiancé changed her life, music A man described as the group's leader was arrested in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul for illegal possession of a firearm, while a teenager in Rio de Janeiro was detained for storing child pornography. Authorities carried out more than a dozen search-and-seizure warrants across the states of Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul and Sao Paulo.
