Mariah Carey Gives Palm Springs Society the Acceptance Speech It Deserves

Having once attended the very ceremony at which Mariah Carey delivered this -- not speech, per se, so much as a series of incredulous moans -- I can hereby testify that the only way to survive the Palm Springs Film Festival opening gala is to drink yourself under a table. (It dulls the sounds of Mary Hart shooshing a crowd of 80-year-old plastic-surgeried socialites for three-and-a-half hours.) So this one's for you, Mariah. And congrats! [via PopEater]
