Mariah Carey Annoys With Absentee VMA Dress Rehearsal

A guest at the National Hotel wasn’t happy with the Mariah Carey MTV Video Music Awards dress rehearsal — which didn’t include Carey. “She insisted upon a full-dress rehearsal, without her, on Saturday night,” the guest complained to The New York Daily News. “And she may be on vocal rest, but that didn’t stop her drinking and partying until 3 a.m. on Friday night.”
