MARIAH CAREY insists her 'diva' behaviour has been blown out of proportion - critics just to make up stories about her odd mannerisms.

The Hero hitmaker has been dogged by claims she is a prima donna throughout her career, with countless bizarre allegations of her backstage demands, but she is adamant the reports are untrue - brushing off rumours she only eats blue M&Ms and once snubbed a hotel because she wasn't greeted with flowers upon her arrival.
She says, "I try not to be a jerk. I really do. I try to be nice and cordial. I've seen the real extreme diva behaviour and I don't think that's who I am.
"I think I have mannerisms and that whole thing, and I'm running around in these shoes. But even before I had any type of fame, I was like this. Seriously.
"I don't even eat (M&Ms)... They said I wouldn't come into a hotel unless there were petals on the floor. I'm like, 'Do you really think at 3am I give a s**t what I'm walking on?'"
