Mariah Carey screws NBC and "The Today Show"

Every network TV morning show has been trying to nab "an exclusive performance" from Mariah Carey for their show since she'll now be promoting her new album E-MC2 which comes out next month.

NBC had reportedly won out and "Today" on NBC was going to get the Mariah performance. In return, the network agreed to promote Mariah's stinky perfume and to give her a guest starring role on "My Name Is Earl" -- and most likely an assload of make-up so she could look airbrushed on TV.

BUT -- after promising NBC the performance, and working out the elaborate deal to get her there, Mariah's people went behind NBC's back and signed a deal with ABC to get the performance for "Good Morning America," "Today's" arch-nemesis!

Who knows what ABC promised Mariah in order for her to screw NBC. Maybe a new feedbag and a salt lick? Neiiggghhhhhh!!!
