Mariah Carey totes one of her princess pooches

Mariah Carey’s beloved dogs are so spoiled, they even have their own entourage.

The Irish-American singer insisted on having assistants on hand for her Jack Russell pooches Cha Cha and JJ while filming a recent commercial, but insists she is not a diva.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “My puppies are starring in this ad with me, too. I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn’t they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage – my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security.

“The shoot was based on the fact that some people think I’m a demanding diva. I have no idea why people have that impression!”

The “Obsessed” singer has previously admitted to feeling baffled by her “demanding” reputation.

"I am baffled, shocked and appalled when I am called a diva,” she has said. “I've never done one diva-ish thing in my life. The actual definition of a diva is a woman who sings well.

"The secondary definition is a woman who is difficult to deal with. I hope I am the first, but I really don't think I am the second. I don't believe I am truly nasty and act in a bad way."
