Will Ferrell has confirmed the details of the planned (and nixed) Mariah Carey cameo in the actors new film The House.
The production booked the singer for a one-day shoot where Carey was set to appear as herself in the comedy about a suburban couples home casino. However, when the film arrived on Friday, the Carey cameo didnt make the final cut.
In the lead-up to The House, some of the films actors openly discussed Careys outlandish on-set requests, and on Watch What Happens, Ferrell spoke about the canceled Carey cameo for the first time.
As Ferrell told Andy Cohen, the singer didnt showed up until four hours after her scheduled set time, and that the singers list of demands included a trailer full of stuffed lamb dolls, a tribute to her fanbase.
One script note was I dont want to do this scene. Even though it was totally approved at the time, Ferrell said. Additionally, Carey was recruited to perform one of her songs in the film, but when she arrived on set, she decided she didnt want to sing that track and suggested another.
[She wanted to sing] something else, which is hard with clearance, and it became quite a kerfuffle a.k.a. shitstorm, Ferrell said.

Hours passed with the singer on set but the scene still didnt film. At 11 p.m., there was a knock on my trailer door and they said You could go home,' Ferrell said. I got in my car and left everyone at set, and it didnt happen.
In a May interview with SiriusXMs Entertainment Weekly Radio, actor Rob Heubel dished about the failed cameo.
We did some reshoots with a pop star named Mariah Carey. It did not go well, Heubel said. She was hired to sing one song, and she was like, You guys, I dont want to sing that song. Theyre like, We hired you to sing this song.
Heubel also provided some details into the singers script note. So then they were going to do this bit where they shoot her, I think, and they kill her in the movie. Not in real life. But she didnt want that, Heubel said.
She was like, I dont think my character would get killed by bullets. What if I deflected them like Wonder Woman? They were like, Mariah, we dont have time for [this]. Youre getting paid so much money. We have you for one day. We dont have time to argue with you. Just do it. She just didnt want to do what they wanted her to do.
