Dear Mariah Carey,

I know that you're a big diva, and that you like being a big diva and will do just anything to keep that persona going. But it just seems to me that if you're going to an awards show where you might possibly be walking onstage to accept an award, you should have a dress and shoes you can walk in.

Maybe you like having hubby Nick Cannon help you onstage, like he did at last night's People's Choice Awards. Maybe he likes it. Maybe it helps the whole diva thing -- "ooh, I can't even move without someone helping me." But it's not really doing much for your image. Come to think of it, neither is your drunk speech at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards a couple of nights ago.

I really like you, Mariah. I love your voice, and your plain role in Precious was nothing short of amazing. I sure hope you're not headed for another stint of exhaustion, but with everything you've got going on, I can see how that could happen.

Anyway, baby steps. How about just re-thinking the wardrobe for these awards shows, or even just talk shows? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Concerned Fan
