Dude! If this is what Mariah Carey is willing to bring to an awards ceremony podium, then I absolutely insist that she win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. "Supporting" apparently being the operative word. Mariah was in Palm Springs last night and, from the looks of the video above, she mistook several bottles of champagne for water. Details, via The Huffington Post:

[Mariah Carey lived up to her sometimes loopy reputation at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards gala as the teetering diva gave a long, rambling acceptance speech after being named Breakthrough Actress for her performance in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."

Carey, in a skin-tight, black-beaded full-length Herve Leger gown, was escorted onto the stage Tuesday night, and at the podium, greeted her presenter and "Precious" director Lee Daniels with a little dance and a big hug.

Carey hesitated for a few seconds, looked to the ceiling, sighed and said, "Please forgive me, because I'm a little bit, um ..." An audience member finished the sentence for her with an obscenity, to which Carey replied, "Yeah!" adding a long, hearty laugh.]

It's going to be a race for me to gain enough credibility in Hollywood to be able to vote in time for the upcoming Academy Awards, but I'm going to do it. It's the lengths I'm willing to go in order to provide you with optimum entertainment - and if it includes personal sacrifice, then so be it.

She Gives New Meaning To The Term "Sauced"
