mariah carey is very important

Mariah Carey is a lunatic.  Just look at her at Sundance.  She has her damn dog in a down jacket.  Her dog IS a down jacket.  But at least everyone knows she nuts, so they expect it.  Everyone except whoever did the seating chart for the inauguration apparently.  Page Six says…

SOME divas cling to their high-maintenance ways even at moments of historic national import. Mariah Carey, who performed at the Neighborhood Ball for President and Michelle Obama, was "furious" when she found out where she'd be seated for the inauguration.A spy said, "Mariah was in the VIP area, where every celebrity, like Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen, was seated. But somehow she thought she'd be up with the Obama family. When she realized she wasn't, she bailed."

It makes sense that Mariah Carey would be seated with the President of the United States.  She sang Dream Lover.  Why wouldn’t she be?
