Mariah Carey Returns To Vegas After Disastrous Shows

Mariah Carey has announced a new Las Vegas residency — with the newly-slim pop queen determined to put 2017's disastrous shows behind her!

The National ENQUIRER had the scoop on how Mariah had become Sin City's biggest joke during her 2017 stint at Caesar's Palace. The star had packed on enough pounds to keep her from putting on a show. “Mariah’s clearly miserable,” an insider spilled to The ENQUIRER.

The source added that Mariah could barely walk in her heels: “Whenever she stood up or moved, everyone held their breath for fear she’d fall!” Eventually, Mariah would be regularly wheeled out to the stage while reclining in a bed or sitting on a Jet Ski.

Disappointed fans also blasted how the difficult diva was out of shape. “She was obviously lip-syncing," said one concertgoer, "and she kept disappearing for 15 minutes at a time under the guise of costume changes...We were shocked about how awful she was!”

But now the formerly-troubled singer is determined to make amends with a new show debuting July 5 at Caesars Palace — after secret surgery to shed the pounds. Mariah's also finally gone public with her mental health issues, confirming The ENQUIRER's scoop that she had been diagnosed as bipolar in 2001.

"Mariah's new shows are going to be a lot more intimate," promised an insider. "The concerts will still have her singing her hits, but now Mariah's promising that she's back in shape and can do those old songs justice — even at 48 years old!"
