“Two helpers to lower her on to the sofa…”

Mariah Carey must get bored during the flight to London and use her free time to think up insane new demands, because she’s always at her Mariah-iest when she gets over there. She did the red carpet hotel thing there (this). She had an assistant bring a glass of water with a straw to her lips (here). Now there’s this from the set of a London morning show…

“While Mariah was very nice, the amount of people she had in her entourage was hilarious.
She had two people to lower her on to the GMTV sofa, in case her dress got crushed, one person to walk in front of her backwards at all times in case she fell over and several people behind the camera making sure she was going to be filmed from the right angle!
‘Oh, and she brought her own toilet roll as well.”

It sounds like Mariah is just being tricked into hiring new people at this point. Like on infomericals. They showed Mariah a video of someone trying to sit on a couch by themselves but the person missed and fell over the side and then a skunk sprayed them. And then the image froze and a big red X was stamped on them. Then someone said, “are you tired of getting sprayed by skunks when you try to sit on the couch.” And Mariah said, “yes. Yes I am.” And then they show the solution and it’s these two guys who help you on and off couches. And then there’s some wildlife movie clip from the 70’s of a skunk getting eaten by a lion. And then Mariah sat there with her phone and her index finger hovering over the keys, waiting for the number to appear.
