Mariah Carey has rejected a cameo in medical drama
ER, because the role of a singer suffering a breakdown is too similar to
her own real life mental problems. The curvy songbird, who is now
branching out into acting following her poorly-received movie debut
Glitter, had been approached to appear on the hit American show as a
singer who is rushed to hospital who goes "off the rails"
during a concert, which spookily reflected her own problems last year,
when she suffered several breakdowns herself. Carey, outraged at the
proposed part, rejected the offer - sending the script back with a angry
note saying she didn't know whether to be "flattered or
insulted". A source reveals, "Mariah needs to redeem herself
because Glitter flopped. She is a huge fan of ER, which is still the top
rated show in the US, so she was obviously delighted when they asked her
to take part in an episode or two. But she couldn't believe how
insensitive they were when they asked her to play a loony-tune pop star.
Someone was being very mischievous, or they have very short
memories."
