Mariah Carey Flies Her Vet From L.A. to N.Y.
TALK about a pampered pooch!
Mariah Carey has revealed how she flew her personal vet from Los Angeles to New York to help her beloved Jack Russell deliver puppies.
However, the Touch my Body hitmaker admits she missed the birth — because the dog waited until her famous mommy flew to London for a series of promotional events before going into labor.
“My puppy just had a puppy,” Carey said. “She’s the most adorable Jack Russell terrier. We were worried because she was little, so she had to have a C-section and I missed the whole thing!
“I flew this vet, a lovely lady, all the way from L.A. to N.Y. and back and forth and the dog didn’t have the puppies. I wanted to see the birth so, of course, when we got here [London] she had her babies.”
Mariah recently insisted she gets called a diva because journalists are lazy.
“At its heart, I think it’s lazy journalism,” the star told a British newspaper when asked about her reputation as a diva. “I was on the first Divas Live show and that seemed to kick the whole thing off.
“You know, my mother — who was an opera singer — used to use the term as a compliment; it meant a very talented singer. But I looked it up in the dictionary recently and now it also means a difficult and demanding woman.
“I guess people like to put you in a little box, and that box fits me because I have the big hair, and I wear the tight dresses on stage. But that doesn’t mean I’m difficult or nasty.
“I remember a story in the British press, saying I’d demanded rose petals be scattered on the carpet of a London hotel when I arrived. The truth is, we’d just landed, it was 3am and all I wanted to do was go straight to my room.
“The back entrance would have been fine, never mind rose petals! I’d never ask for anything like that. But that sort of stuff is written about me, so I’ve just learnt to shake it off.”
