Mariah denied kittens
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 November 2009
Mariah Carey’s rider demands are somewhat legendary, but it seems she doesn’t always get what she wants. According to reports, the Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush in London refused to break their ‘no pets’ rule and provide her with 20 white kittens to help her turn on their Christmas lights.
The full list of demands included: 20 white kittens, 100 white doves to be released during the event, 80 security guards, pink confetti in the shape of butterflies, a Rolls-Royce to drive her through the shopping centre, and a pink carpet leading to the podium.
A source told the Daily Mail: “We did manage to source the doves that we were going to release into the sky, but the kittens proved terribly difficult. In the end, it was made clear that due to health and safety, there was no way we could have the animals at Westfield. We do not allow pets into Westfield – that rule would apply for everyone. We have worked extremely hard to make sure that Mariah’s event is fantastic. Even the model of car had to be changed six times to one that her people liked”.
