Mariah Carey is developing a new fake tan made with 24-karat gold dust.

The singer has hired a personal tanning assistant, Jenny Phillips, to spray her before every performance on her current 'Emancipation of Mimi' tour.

The star and Jenny, of Beverly Hills' exclusive Portofino Sun Center and Spa, have now teamed up to create an extravagant new fake tan made with real gold.

Mariah's representative said: "They are developing an exclusive line of bronzer containing real 24-karat gold dust."

The 'We Belong Together' singer is famous for her outrageous diva demands and extravagant tastes.

In the past, Mariah has paid for her Jack Russell dog to fly first class, refused to walk up or down stairs and requested a red carpet be rolled out for her arrival at a hotel.
