To add to the category of "stars are weird," rumor has it that songbird Mariah Carey insists on having popcorn in her dressing room before she performs.

Popcorn seems like the last thing you'd want stuck in your throat before you perform, but again, stars are weird.

Mariah, who is known for eccentric backstage demands, requests that bags of the popped kernels be available for her to chomp through before and after her shows. A source reveals, "When she was promoting her last single in the UK, she asked for Butterkist toffee popcorn in her dressing room."
