Mariah Carey: 'Snoop Dogg is a bigger diva than me'

[MaryJane]

MARIAH CAREY insists rapper SNOOP DOGG is such a diva she decided it would be best he filmed his contribution to her forthcoming music video in Los Angeles, rather than fly his entourage to Paris, France.

Carey and PHARRELL WILLIAMS shot the majority of the promo for SAY SOMETHIN' in the French capital last week (ends17MAR06), while Snoop filmed his section in LA on Sunday (19MAR06). [pics http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/lat...23-2006-a.html ]

Carey tells MTV, "If you guys think I'm a diva and I have requirements, Snoop is the next level. He's the hip-hop king. So his requirements to get to Paris are, like, beyond platinum editions. They're, like, beyond ultra-platinum editions, they're like diamond editions.

"So we love Snoop and we wish he had been here, but I think shooting him in LA will be good because we'll have more time, more control. He probably would have gotten really mobbed in the streets (in Paris) anyway."
