Mariah Carey Spaces Out During Acceptance Speech - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-06-2010, 08:56 PM

While Mariah Carey never quite managed to finish her sentence that began, "Please forgive me because I am a little bit … ," others who witnessed her rambling, seven-minute acceptance speech Tuesday night at California's Palm Springs International Film Festival offered plenty of suggestions.

Jet-lagged? Inebriated?

Maybe just nervous. Festival organizers claimed that the Grammy winning diva, whose glammed-down performance as a social worker in Precious won her Palm Springs's breakthrough performance award, was slightly spaced-out because she was not used to speaking in front of such eminent peers as Sean Penn, Morgan Freeman, Jeff Bridges, Clint Eastwood and Dame Helen Mirren.

Yet Carey – who attended the gala event without husband Nick Cannon – was happy to be part of the film community. "I have always wanted to be doing independent films, but people were always like, 'You will take us out of the movie [by overshadowing her character],' " Carey, 40, told PEOPLE.

She acted really spacey during the People's Choice Awards too.

ekkostar · 01-07-2010, 02:40 PM

That's normal. She really does act this bizarre.

TJL · 01-07-2010, 02:44 PM

I just heard her "speech" at the Palm Springs thing on Howard Stern.

Good lord, was she hammered.

Never drink and give speeches folks.

No, she may act like a diva, but this isn't normal for Mariah. Sometimes it's so embarrassing being a fan of hers.

You'd think she would know this by now after being in the business for 20 years! She finally gets some type of recognition for her acting, and this is what she does. Go figure.

Unless Mariah wants to be seen publicly drunk, she probably has a drinking problem. If a person can't stay sober for something that's so important to them, that indicates a problem.

This can only mean one thing:

Glitter II is hitting theaters soon!

Mariah always has a breakdown right before a movie release!

My thoughts exactly. Brought back so many (bad) memories of my father. Go to rehab Mariah - it's showing.

I am glad I was never a Mariah fan. I always thought she was icky!!
