MARIAH CAREY - CAREY LEFT WAITING AT CANNES

CAREY LEFT WAITING AT CANNES

MARIAH CAREY was left waiting for a screening of her new movie PRECIOUS at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Friday (15May09) - after MARTIN SCORSESE overran with a presentation of his forthcoming film.
The singer/actress was on the red carpet at the annual event to promote her upcoming drama, in which she has a small role as a social worker.
But a planned showing of the movie on Friday evening was pushed back when director Scorsese took longer than expected to introduce his new picture The Red Shoes.
Carey waited patiently for the film's promotional slot and took to the stage alongside her fellow stars Lenny Kravitz, Paula Patton, Gabby Sidbe, and director Lee Daniels to introduce the movie.
Daniels told the assembled crowd, "Je suis fatiguee, (I'm very tired.) I've had too much champagne, so I'm not able to give the speech I spent three weeks preparing.
"I say this movie was made with love, bubble gum, popsicle sticks, everyone on this stage, and grace."
