Diva Mariah Carey was not amused when a German TV host recently compared her to a stuffed sausage.

According to Newsweek.com, the interviewer Oliver Poucher, the host of the show "Gottschalk & Friends" joked, "What do you call a stuffed sausage in English?"

The audience burst into laughter but Carey protested and said the host was not being fair.

The host explained his comment to a colleague later saying, "We were discussing the cellulite Ms Carey has on her legs. I only said what the public was thinking."
