Pop diva Mariah Carey and billionaire James Packer recently called off their much publicised wedding which was all set to be turned into a reality tv show Mariah's World. While some claim that Packer just needed a break and that the couple could possible get back together soon, other sources insist that they are done for good. In fact according to reports the songstress is now demanding millions from Packer as the show has been left in the air. In fact some sources insist that it was the show itself that was the reason for the break up as Packer had reservations about their private life being on camera. However, many are claiming that Packer was infact insanely jealous of Mariah's back up dancer Bryan Tanaka and suspected them of getting together. If these reports are true, Mariah wouldn't be the first musician to find love in the arms of a back up dancer
