Someone is finally telling Mariah Carey no, and this time it’s Britain’s health and safety officials. They flat-out denied her request to be flanked by twenty white kittens and a hundred white doves when she illuminates the Westfield Shopping Center London tonight. The Daily Mail says

The singer had issued a string of extravagant requirements in return for her appearance at the Westfield complex, [including] being driven by Rolls Royce along a pink carpet right to the pink podium where she is to wave a wand to turn on the lights.

Miss Carey [also] wants confetti shaped like butterflies to shower over her [and has] requested an entourage of 15 along with about 80 security guards.

However, her demands for white kittens and doves were turned down. A source said: ‘Due to health and safety, there was no way we could have the animals at Westfield.’

Safety for the kittens, I presume. White kittens are roughly the same size and shape as a Hostess Snoball. Having them at arm’s length from Mariah Carey in semi-darkness could really prove disastrous.
