We’ve come to expect a certain kind of behaviour from Mariah Carey, and we love to hate her for it.
Remember when she bought a first class plane ticket… for her dogs?
Or when she rocked a gown to take her kids to the park?
This latest bit of Hollywood gossip has proved to be no disappointment.
Mariah was meant to have a cameo on the set of the new Will Ferrell movie, The House, also starring Amy Poehler and Allison Tolman.
Watch a clip below where Will Ferrell discusses Mariah Carey’s cameo being cut while promoting the film on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Skip past the anecdote about Anchorman and click ahead to 2:56 second mark to get straight into the goss on what it was like filming with Mimi.
Highlights include Ferrell recounting,
“Lets put it this way, at midnight I got a knock on my trailer and they said, ‘You can just go home. We’re not going to get to you.'”
TELL US MORE, WILL!!!
And if that wasn’t enough to fulfill all your wildest Mariah diva hopes and dreams (we know it wasn’t), another actor in the film, Cedric Yarbrough took to social media to dish on what Mariah was like to film with.
The post has since been deleted but as we all know, nothing that goes online is ever really completely gone.
Cedric is quoted as saying the following on his Facebook page:
Okay since Will Ferrell is talking, I’ma talk-ing. Yeah, a real funny cameo was SUPPOSED to happen in the new film #TheHouse with the superstar Mariah Carey. But it was ruined by superstar Mariah Carey. The film takes place in a suburban home but is made into a ‘Casino’. Why not have Mariah be an act in the casino? Funny idea. It’s rumoured that she eventually showed up to set. This is true. But after waiting for her for 3-4 hours!
While we waited the director & team had the idea of doing a stunt that Mariah’s body double would do now & bring in Mariah to match it. They do the stunt. All goes well. When Mariah finally showed up she refused to match the stunt. ‘Darling, I would never do it that way…’. I heard her say those exact words.
She then requested a large fan for her hair to be blown around and a camera that would be above her, basically a crane shot. This lady was unprofessional & borderline abusive to our director, who tried his best to appease her every wish.
The actor continued his rant with some advice for Mariah:
In the acting community, it’s not very good form to ‘tell’ on your fellow actors. They could be having a bad day, going through some personal things, & maybe Mariah was, I don’t know. But I do know that our crew didn’t deserve that, our director didn’t.
For you young actors, be on time, know your homework, but be courteous and respectful. For us old heads, the same. This kind of behaviour should be called out for what it is. I miss ‘I had a vision of love’ Mariah. Be a damn professional.
Mariah nor her reps have responded to the comments as yet.
