Mariah Carey looked stunning at the 2010 People's Choice Awards, no question.

However, when she was called to the stage to accept an award, we officially had on our hands the first (and, to our knowledge, the only) wardrobe malfunction of the evening.

Carey gathered her extra-long dress in her hands, which did little to help the star walk in the mermaid-like gown. Husband Nick Cannon exchanged worried glances with Carey, and immediately stood to escort his wife on stage, holding her steady as she shuffled down the aisle.

Carey thanked her husband in her acceptance speech, but we were amused when she thanked him "...especially for helping me with this dress!"

Next time, Miss Mariah, be sure to try it on before the big night!

So disappointed in mariah's comments both at Palm Springs and at People's Choice. What the heck is wrong with her? She needs to lose weight for one thing and wear clothes that hide her flaws rather than demonstrate them. And I never thought she could sing anyway.

Mariah had good press from the beginnings.She was touted as the next Minnie Ripperton becase of her many alledged octaves.Minnie was the original and the title still stands.Matolla scooped her up quick,marrying the goose that was going to lay them golden eggs,didn't happen didn't last.It's like she's living in her hay days,let it go.She's got a good man by her side who appears to love her,hope her public behavior won't drive him away.I changed the chanel when she made her appearance at Michael Jacksons funeral,dressed like a stripper.She has skills,return to them.To thyself be true.Life is far too short to be living the way you think people want you to.Leave the stimulants alone,they're messing with your mind and body.Good luck,I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

When is Mariah going to learn she shouldn't wear dresses two sizes smaller than hers? Sadly, it's not the first time she wears smaller and tacky dresses. Someone help her, please!!!

Most of our entertainers are out to show what they have good or bad, most times it is down right trashy! They can't be called stars anymore because there is nothing but skin showing ergo no need for talent. A slut is a slut is a slut!
