Carey causes radio interview problems

Mariah Carey has cancelled a British radio interview because she's "not a morning person".

The popstar re-scheduled her interview on BBC Radio One after the station was told Carey faced problems getting her four-car entourage to the studio from Claridges.

However, Carey was able to make an interview on the Capital breakfast show, where she admitted she's "not a morning person".

A Capital insider said: "We had made sure we complied with her list of demands. We even got a load of straws in because she only drinks fruit juice through a straw.

"We can't always wait around for guests, no matter how famous they are. We are working to tight schedules."

Another radio source added: "She wants control over all her radio and TV interviews and demanded they were pre-recorded so she can cut out the bits she doesn't like."

Carey's recent demands are alleged to include a £6,500 first class flight for her Jack Russell, 11 bodyguards to stand over her in a restaurant, preventing other people seeing her eat and a red carpet and lit candles for her 2am arrival at a London Hotel.
