Mariah Carey was left "furious" after being told she wouldn't be sitting with US President Barack Obama's family during his inauguration.
The 'Touch My Body' singer - who performed at a ball to celebrate Obama being sworn in - was left aghast when she discovered she had to sit with other celebrities during Tuesday's (20.01.09) ceremony.
A source said: "Mariah was in the VIP area, where every celebrity, like Jon Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bruce Springsteen, was seated. But somehow she thought she'd be up with the Obama family. When she realised she wasn't, she bailed."
Rapper P. Diddy - who was so delighted to see Obama become America's first African-American President he blew kisses at him as he was being sworn in - was also said to be unhappy with the ceremony, because he wasn't asked to perform while rapper Jay-Z was.
However, a spokesman for Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has denied the allegations, saying: "It was one of the greatest moments of his life. Sean was invited to the inauguration and was seated third row, with Jay-Z, at the ceremony."
Mariah's publicist declined to comment.

what about beyoncé crying for weeks until she got her spot to promote her movie, she, ja-z, diddy, dustin hoffman, oprah and so on were all in the vip area, why not mariah???? i however doubt she was mad, she's a lady!
The article said she wanted to sit with the family not in the VIP section. She is such an exhibitionist!
Who does this woman think she is?
Admitedly she is a very talented singer but that does not mean she should be allowed to sit with the family when all the other celebs were in a VIP area.
She really does seem to think very highly of herself if all the press articles are to be believed.
if she's not related to them then why should she think she should be sitting with the family. what a stupid diva
thats a lie they stayed she was so happy at the ball its sad to lie on mariah
I don't buy this story. Mariah was sitting next to nick who was spinning records and was having a good time according to FOX.
THIS IS SO FALSE...COME ONE PEOPLE
Who really gives a sh*t??
Once again Mariah has acted totally self important and ridiculous. If I was her I'd be ashamed of myself.
This story is not true!!
Its totally Fabricated, again to put mariah into shame.
i dont believe in this news!
