Mariah Carey's backstage ordeal at "Idol"

Mariah Carey made her way to the CBS lot on Wednesday afternoon as the guest mentor on "American Idol." And true to her rep, our girl was quite the diva. Donning a (typical) tight-fitting outfit, Mariah worked the press area backstage - but it took a little longer than expected. Tech and camera guys apparently were made to put in the extra effort putting up lights and having them angled perfectly, with Carey's people "double checking" that she was positioned perfectly at all times.

"We had to reshoot one of the questions," one cameraman told Tarts. "I had to change the lighting and alter the position and do it again because we went off angle slightly. She has a director of photography with her at all times and can only be shot from the waist up."

Well, when you are a multimillion-dollar music mogul, you do have a little authority in demanding your best angle, right? However, Maz did lose quite a few fans on Thursday night when she decided to turn up two hours late to an album-signing at Universal City.

"She strolled in with sunglasses on when it was nighttime and by that point a lot of people got fed up and had left," a photographer told Tarts. "It was ridiculous." That said, Mariah is back with Billboard chart-topping album "E=MC2" and looking better than ever - and fellow music veteran Janet Jackson is in full support.

"I never gave up on Mariah, but a lot of people were ready to write her off and gave up on her," Jackson recently told Tarts. "Downs happen to a lot of people even in regular jobs, so it's just a part of life. You can't stay up, up, up forever."
