Mariah Carey has been accused of acting like a diva as she directs Lacey Chabert in the upcoming Hallmark movie A Christmas Melody. According to InTouch Weekly, the 45-year-old songstress has been taking naps so often that the crew has to schedule filming around them. And the girlfriend of James Packer has also allegedly asked for a private trailer just for her dog.
The beauty has for decades been plagued by rumours she's a diva, from barking orders at back-up singers to having a giant M on the floor of her Manhattan apartment. "Our day revolves around her nap schedule," the source said. "She's constantly napping and doesn't like to be woken up. That would be understandable if she were performing, but she's been driven to set every day and not doing much physical activity."
Mariah reportedly insisted on a second fully furnished trailer on set for her dog, which had to come with no less than 10 humidifiers. "She also insists on having someone hold her drinks as she sips them on set," the source said. "She will only drink through a straw."
Mariah also reportedly spends more time taking behind the scenes selfies than doing any directing. "It's a major distraction. She spends an hour smiling for the camera while the cast and crew are waiting," the insider added. "Finding the right lip gloss seems more important to Mariah than directing this film."

Mariah's directorial debut, currently filming in Cincinnati, tells the story of a music teacher who helps a young girl - who is new in town - write a song for the community's Christmas show. Mean Girls star Chabert plays the lead role in the film, which premieres on Hallmark on December 19. Mariah is no stranger to film, having played the lead in 2001's Glitter, and appearing with Forest Whitaker in 2013's The Butler.
