diva

Or so she says.

Mariah Carey claims she's seen outrageous divas in action and that she's not one.

“I try not to be a jerk. I really do. I try to be nice and cordial," she's said. "I’ve seen the real extreme diva behavior and I don’t think that’s who I am. I think I have mannerisms and that whole thing… But even before I had any type of fame I was like this. Seriously.”

We'll give Mariah the benefit of the doubt in terms of niceness. But what about Mimi?

What does it take to override the Secret Service on Inauguration Day? Beyonce Knowles' DIVA powers, apparently.

Earlier this week Beyonce and husband Jay-Z were in DC rehearsing for her concert honoring the Inauguration of Barack Obama (woo!), when she was told she would have to walk a whole four blocks in the cold and in heels (gasp!) to get to their car because the surrounding streets were closed off in preparation for the big event.
