Poor Mariah Carey. Something always seems to happen to the singer-actress the moment she gets comfortable at the top. Such was the case Tuesday night at the 21st annual Palm Springs International Film Festival.
In town to collect the festival's breakthrough actress award for her almost unrecognizable role as a social worker in this year's awards contender Precious, Carey seemed almost as incoherent in her "acceptance speech" as she did in 2001 when she cited exhaustion for her Web site rant after her first big-screen film, Glitter, tanked.
Introduced by Precious director Lee Daniels, Carey stumbled around, screeched like a dolphin and made little to no sense, implying during the tirade that she very may well have had too much champagne during the black-tie gala.

Just listen to her "Oh my goodness" opening as she made an effort to begin her remarks.
