Singer Mariah Carey ordered a London hotel staff to roll out the red carpet along with lit candles when she arrived there at 2 a.m. recently.

Carey landed in London at 1.30 a.m. in her private jet and told aides to phone ahead to plush Hotel Bagloni, where she and her entourage are staying for three nights, with her demands, according to femalefirst.com.

"She made an explosion of an entry - with eight bodyguards, hotel staff greeting her and fans cheering. Mariah's arrival was like a film premiere," a source was quoted as saying by the website.

The crooner is in London to promote new album "The Emancipation of Mimi" and is supposedly paying 50,000 pounds for her three-nights stay at the hotel.
