On film set, Mariah's no diva


Everyone expected her to get "carried" away while shooting her first starring role in a movie. And Mariah Carey didn't disappoint on the set of her upcoming summer film "All That Glitters." Producer Laurence Mark laughs when describing the on-set shenanigans of the chart-topping song stylist. "She is the diva, let's face it," he said. "And she loves being the diva, which is what's fun about Mariah. She makes no bones about that."
Miss Mariah did tone it down on the set. "She also knows that she's not a diva in the film world," he said. "In the music world, if she shows up eight hours late for the music video, well - they have to wait, don't they? But with the film, she knew she had to prove herself, and she was very professional."
In "All That Glitters," scheduled to open Aug. 31 in Chicago, Carey plays... a singer and diva! And she's not worried about the critics. "If I say, `Oh, my God, she's unbelievably good, she's amazing!' then you'll expect Meryl Streep, and that's not happening," Mark said. "She is very good at playing someone close to home, which helps. She knows the world her character is from. And let's face it, she sings 12 songs - she's doing what she does best."
