Mariah Carey Does It for Free

E! Online, Aug 1, 2008 9:00 am PDT
Mariah Carey wasn't happy with her fans last night.

No, not the 5,000 or so people who showed at the Hollywood and Highland mall in L.A. for Mimi's free concert, but the electric ones responsible for keeping her hair billowing throughout the gig.

"My hair keeps sticking to my lipgloss," Carey said at the end of her first number. "You got to turn up the fans!"

Carey, who was performing as part of the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush concert series, also had something of a mic problem.

"I want my mic stand," she said at one point. "I don't know what happened to my mic stand."

A stagehand quickly popped onstage with a glittering, crystal-covered stand that matched her crystal-covered mic.

And what did she bring along for the fans—darn if we'll ever know.

"I haven't forgotten to bring my bag of festivities," she said. "I'll be distributing those in a moment."

She then walked offstage, but she returned empty-handed!

I'm told hubby Nick Cannon was there, but he stayed backstage. His family and friends were given VIP seats overlooking the stage.

Which meant a few not-so-VIPs were booted from their chairs.

"These seats," a security guard said, "are for Nick Cannon's family."

A smidgen of the concert was also broadcast on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where she was a guest earlier in the evening.
