Mariah Carey, busy spouting nonsense as part of the promotion of new album 'The Emancipation of Mimi', has told the Big Issue that she hates using lifts in Britain because they are "so much smaller" than in the US. Revealing that she "really, really hates elevators", she told the magazine: "But
I go in them when I have to. In Britain, the elevators seem to be much smaller than in America, so it gets me feeling even more uneasy. All the time I'm saying 'can't we just take the stairs?' I'm always about stairs unless it's 20 flights. I even use stairs when I'm in my heels."
Mariah also denied those reports from last week that she demanded three-foot candles and a red carpet on her arrival at London's Bagloni
Hotel last month. Carey: "Who even knew three-foot candles existed? Did you? I wouldn't have noticed if it was a purple carpet with polka dots on it. I'd just got off a plane and it was three in the morning. Trust me, my only thought was, 'Where's the bed?'"
