Concert Cancelled in Hong Kong
Mariah Carey's weekend concert was cancelled Thursday because of poor ticket sales and what promoters said were the pop star's "unreasonable demands."
Carey was to perform Saturday at an outdoor space near Hong Kong's Central financial district. Promoter Concerts Asia said it had only sold 4,000 tickets, despite a "substantial" advertising campaign.
"We have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans," said a statement posted Thursday on the promoter's Web site.
Concerts Asia declined further comment, and contact information for Carey wasn't immediately available.
Update-
The singer's management, Handprint Entertainment, gave their explanation for the cancellation. They say the promoters, One Events, have outstanding production and artist fees to pay.
"Due to a financial default by the promoter, it is with great sadness that Mariah will not be able to perform for her fans in Hong Kong," Handprint's Benny Medina said in a statement to the AFP.
"We gave them time to pay but he kept missing the new deadlines," he told the news agency from his L.A. office.
So maybe it wasn't the 'diva demands' that cancelled it afterall. Oh well, she is still a cow. Heh.

sounds like both her concert AND her attitude got cancelled this time... :)
Hey, listen, unlike Mariah, there are some things a cow just won't do for money.
It seems she is so spoiled she has to have an assistant hold her wittle glass of poppy and her wittle bottle of thwoat spray. Poor Baby.
They don't have enough food for the bitch in Hong Kong, anyway.
mariah carey is a FAT UGLY BITCH! she should quit singing, put on some damn clothes and shut the HELL up! no one wants to see her fat cellulite ass jiggle on stage...that is why they didn't pay her ass! damn!
Ha YAH HA HA anon 11:37, that's EXACTLY what i've been saying too. Uh Oh.. all those fat girls that just love to scream "ANOREXIA!" and criticize hollywoods skinny girls are gonna be pissed... "at least she looks like a REAL woman, with curves!!" Ya, it's so sad that overweight has become so normal in america. And when did rolls become "curves" anyways?
Well I wouldn't call Mariah fat but she Is a little overweight. I think being Obese Is just as bad as being Anorexic. Overeating is just as much a psychological disease as Undereating.
