The True Emancipation of Mariah

According to the NY Daily News a promter has cancelled Mariah Carey's upcoming concert due to low ticket sales and Mariah's DIVA like demands.

"We have decided to cancel the event ... due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable," promoter One Events said in a statement yesterday. "She was making demands like Streisand," a music industry source told the Daily News. "She wanted special spring water, furniture, lighting and armed escorts. "They told her: 'This is Hong Kong, not the U.S.,' and she said: 'I am not going on.' So they said: 'Fine.'"

Of course spin-ster Benny Medina of Handprint Entertainment claims ticket sales were fine and Mariah Carey pulled out because of other commitments. Uh huh
