10. MARIAH TEETERS ONTO TRL
All that Glitters, it seems, was actually fool's gold for Mariah Carey in 2001. In a surprise appearance to promote her tinselly travesty of a movie, the overworked pop tart popped into MTV's Total Request Live studio pushing an ice cream cart and proceeded to peel off her baggy T-shirt, unveiling gold booty shorts and a tank top. ''Every now and then,'' she told confused host Carson Daly, ''somebody needs a little therapy.''
CAREER IMPACT: MAJOR Glitter bombed, and Virgin Records paid $28 million to buy Carey out of her contract in 2002. Three years later, though, Carey emerged from her shame cocoon as the Billboard-topping butterfly who had the best-selling album of 2005 with The Emancipation of Mimi.
