Mariah Carey to Today: "It's Like That"
Uncooperative bookings
In ditching the Today show at the last minute, and opting for ABC's Good Morning America, Mariah Carey has NBC execs pissed — except, as manager Benny Medina puts it, he never guaranteed the peacock network his client. The two parties were negotiating to have Carey perform as part of concert series, but Medina wanted all-out promotion for Carey, which meant a guest starring role on My Name Is Earl and promotion of her fragrance on Today. They agreed, but when her album needed retooling, NBC's promotion was pushed back. Now she's bailed on the gig altogether, but Medina hopes reneging on his verbal arrangement doesn't make Today "feel disrespected by me trying to do right by my client." No hard feelings, right kids?
