Mariah Carey Makes Dramatic Appearance at TCA to Promote ‘Mariah’s World’: Our Favorite Tweets
As you should know by now, it’s Mariah’s World and we’re just living in it. That fact was proved yet again at the TCA panel for the beloved diva’s new reality show on Wednesday, which was all very Mariah.
Mariah Carey — singing superstar and queen of the Lambily — was late, arrived on the back of a shirtless man, sat in a purple throne, had her makeup touched up onstage, and, well, let’s hear from some of the reporters who were there set the scene…
Naturally, this #MariahsWorld was supposed to start 10 minutes ago, and it’s running behind. #TCA16

But champagne was served, so that (sort of) made up for it.
Let me be the 421st TV writer you follow on Twitter to tell you they have put Veuve on our table for the #TCA16 #MariahsWorld panel

She made a grand entrance — on the backs of six seven shirtless men.

She was candid answering questions.
Carey says Nick Cannon is cool with being on the show & that he came around but “I don’t know if he’ll make the final cut.” #MariahsWorld

Mariah Carey on American Idol: “It was the most abusive experience. By the way, you’ve just driven me to drink.” #TCA16

.@MariahCarey won’t reveal who she is collaborating with. Doesn’t want people “stealing the concept.” #MariahsWorld #TCA16 #NBCUTCA

Mariah: “My kids could have their own show; that’s how funny they are. I have to figure it out w/Nick, how much we want them in the show.”

Apparently she drank a fly.
Mariah: “I just got a fruit fly. I think he’s smelling the champagne. Be careful.” Then, she drinks it. I can’t handle this panel. #TCA16

She was funny.

In the middle of the press conference, she brought out her makeup artist to give her a touchup.
Mariah’s makeup artist, Chris, is now on stage for a quick touch-up, along with Andy LeCompte. Oh, this is fabulous beyond belief. #TCA16
— Jessica Radloff (@JRadloff) August 4, 2016
“Anyone else want a touch-up? It’s very expensive,” deadpans Mariah. @MariahsWorld, I hope you’re using this in your series. #TCA16
— Jessica Radloff (@JRadloff) August 4, 2016
And just mostly delighted onlookers with her shenanigans.

That’s it for the #MariahsWorld panel and I have to say, if the show is half as good as this panel was, IT WILL BE AN ICONIC HIT #TCA16

Mariah Carey just gave me so much life I feel like I am going to live literally forever. #TCA16 #MariahsWorld

In the new trailer for Mariah’s World, which follows her as she preps for a European tour and plans for her third wedding (to billionaire James Packer), it promises to give a look at her in real life. (Which means expect to see her wearing a lot of lingerie and saying “darling.” ) The eight-episode series debuts Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. on E!
