The pop diva Mariah Carey, has found herself in the news for an apparent wardrobe malfunction.

According to "US Weekly," it happened at the So So Def's 20th Anniversary Concert at Atlanta's Fox Theatre on Feb. 27, when the 42-year-old "American Idol" judge, wearing a low-cut, sleeveless cream dress with metallic studs, wheeled out a birthday cake for Jermaine Dupri. In the process, one of the singer's nipples popped out.

However, WebProNews points out that "it's hard to tell if Mariah actually had a wardrobe malfunction or if she's just the victim of some people who really wish she had been. At any rate, it's not as bad as everyone is making it out to be." 

This means that this "wardrobe malfunction" is very hard to spot.

Still, some people feel that Mariah Carey has been pushing the envelope too far with her sexy outfits. According to Celeb Scoop, Mariah Carey once spoke to Allure magazine of her sexy style:

"It's a dichotomy, I understand. I understand that people think I'm a ditzy moron," she said, according to Inquisitr.

The interesting part of this, is that, according to softpedia.com, some years ago, Mariah would get a lot of flak online for her minuscule (and some very unflattering) outfits, but things seem to have changed as of late, presumably because she's the first to say she's too much of a diva to dress like a regular woman her age would.

Either way, it is no shock that "The Emancipation of Mimi" singer is embarrassed about the event, but this isn't the first time Carey has found herself in the news.

In 2010, she admitted to being drunk at the Palm Springs Film Festival where a man had to help her on stage to accept a Breakthrough Performance award for her role in the movie "Precious." The very next night, Carey was allegedly drunk again at the 2010 People's Choice Awards where husband Nick Cannon helped her to the stage, reported Examiner.
