Mariah smiles despite boos

MORE sign of trouble for MARIAH?

A month after a rambling speech at a Film Festival in Palm Springs, the songbird has suffered another blow.

The diva was booed by fans after rocking up an HOUR late for the final night of her Angels and Advocates tour.

On arrival, Mariah swiftly apologised to the crowd - telling them she was ill.

She told fans: "I'd like to apologise for my tardiness. You probably won't believe me, and they'll probably make a big thing of it, 'oh Mariah had to get her doctor in', but I got sick yet again because it's winter, I didn't think I could come out here tonight.

"But I was very grateful I could get some sleep and we could pull it together. It's not so glam at 6.30 in the morning when you're coughing and sounding like a frog.

Fans were quick to show their annoyance, with one audience member emailing Biarre to say: "It was pathetic. The audience were NOT happy.

"And rightly so - we paid good money for those tickets."

The fan backlash, and the illness, didn't stop CAREY gleaming and drinking at her after party at Haze.

Husband NICK CANNON missed the bash due to hosting duties across the road at Vanity.
