Mariah Carey Explains Slurred Speech
Mariah Carey told reporters at the People’s Choice Awards last night (January 6) that her slightly off-kilter acceptance speech at the Palm Springs International Film Festival was due to not eating before the awards show and enjoying “little splashes”.
The 40-year-old singer, who took home the award for best breakthrough performance for Precious, explained, “We’d been sitting there celebrating this whole time, having little splashes [of champagne], I hadn’t eaten, I pulled up, I didn’t want to be late so I rushed in, and that’s what it was.”
“If people don’t understand me and just think I’m this girl that stands by a microphone and sings ‘Hero,’ then they’re definitely not going to get me,” Mariah added.

Who really cares she is a low life scum bag anyway.
I miss the wholesome, unpretentious Mariah Carey in the 90′s.
wow …she was really drugged or drunk whatever
its a shame be onstage like that
That was cute :)
I adore Mariah! People need to stop being so freakin’ judgmental. She’s a human being for God’s sake.
I don’t care. I didn’t even watch this pointless show.
She was drunk.
We get it.
She should take prescription meds. This woman is out of her mind
Classless.
I love her smile and body
I think Carey enjoys “little splashes” often and this is not the first time she has appeared drunk before a viewing audience. It isn’t cute anymore.
Oh please, like no one else gets tipsy from champagne. Yeah, its embarrassing, but life goes on. At least she didnt light the stage on fire or go up there, steal the mic from an award winner and say “Merryl Streep had one of the best movies ever!”. ::Kanye West shrug::
still i thought she was cute it’s boring to be always serious ; and act suprise she was funny n i don’t think she should justify herself
you go girl
This isn’t as big a deal as some are making it out to be. Mariah has been out of her mind since she divorced Tommy M. That said, she needs to grow up, please! It’s not cute. Just pathetic, now.
This is pathetic, but funny as hell!
LOL! Hey! it’s an award show! Have fun!! I thought it was funny!! + cute :-)
“If people don’t understand me and just think I’m this girl that stands by a microphone and sings ‘Hero,’ then they’re definitely not going to get me,” Mariah added.

LOL–she got that right, just like Tiger Woods is not the quiet goody goody father-fearing boy people once thought. Money does not stop people from drunkeness, drugging, partying, whoring, the whole nine yards—look at Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
bacardis
We’ve all been there, but just not accepting an award lol.
Love her giggle!
Celebrities aren`t poised anymore…There are always, ” mishaps” like this nowadays.I think most celebs get caught up in drugs and booze.
She was drunk….she is always drunk. She is a damn alcoholic. She has admitted to drinking champagne all day long almost everyday. Time for rehab Mariah…you are turning into a sloppy drunk.
PATHETIC ..
PATHETIC ..
lol i hate drunken and slurred people, but her speech was endearing and somehow cute ha
Wasted and just plain sad! Even sober, last night receiving a People’s Choice Award, getting up to the stage, it was just sad…. good thing she had Nick to help her get up to the podium.
