Her gem of an [MTV Cribs episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98KH9GzgmIM) foreshadowed what a great reality-TV star Mimi could be and _Mariah’s World_ looks to be packed with juicy drama, sparkles and choice sound bites (“I’m not Cinderella, my life has not been a fairytale!”). The narrative follows the [elusive chanteuse](http://time.com/84645/mariah-carey-album-title-generator/) as she prepares for her world tour and upcoming wedding to James Packer. Here are some things you can look forward to in this truly magical eight-part “unscripted” series: * Mariah refusing to take off her sunglasses (“I’m wearing these glasses because we’re in fluorescent lighting, and I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses. I know, it’s very ’90s”). * Mariah pouring out champagne over sparklers at a party. * Mariah planning her wedding to Aussie billionaire Packer (“it’s the most important event that’s ever happened”). * Mariah gracing the [Lambily](http://www.fuse.tv/2014/05/mariah-carey-lambily-quiz) with her presence (one Lamb even goes so far as to kiss her hand as soon as he meets her). * Mariah exiting her private jet in a full-length gown and fur coat, drinking wine, as one does.
