Mariah Carey was obviously intoxicated when she accepted her Breakthrough Acting Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Tuesday for her role in the movie Precious.
She was so disoriented that she literally had a loss for words. As she struggled to explain her drunkenness, an audience member helped her about by screaming that the singer was “f—ed up” and she agreed.
But Mimi redeemed herself the following night at the People’s Choice Awards. With her husband, actor and comedian Nick Cannon, by her side Wednesday night, she fluently expounded upon her gratitude for fans voting her Best R&B singer. Once backstage, she blamed Precious director Lee Daniels for being a bad influence, which led to her intoxication the previous night.
However, Mariah did have one slip up at the People’s Choice Awards.

While she luckily didn’t fall in her tight mermaid-style dress, she needed Nick’s assistance as she shuffled up to the stage.
