Mariah refuses to travel light

Mariah Carey, who has been staying in London's Baglioni hotel for the past week whilst promoting her new album, emerged with 50 suitcases in tow.

The 35-year-old, who celebrated her birthday over the weekend with a life-size cake modelled on herself, required a lorry to transport her baggage to the airport.

A witness told The Sun: "It was incredible. There were about 50 suitcases, all labelled for Mariah. It took bellboys half an hour to load them all."

Mariah's stay in the UK has been more notable for her celebrity behaviour that the promotion of her album. On her arrival in the early hours of last Sunday morning she was forced to drive around the block as the hotel staff had failed to lay out the required red carpet lined with white candles.
