James Corden must've been short of mood lighting supplies back at home. The Late, Late Show host admitted during his program that he got a case of the sticky fingers and pilfered a candle while visiting Mariah Carey at her digs.




Corden came clean as part of the show's goofy variation of the drinking game, "Fill Your Guts Or Spill Your Guts," with guests Drew Barrymore and John Boyega.

The punishing hors d'oeuvres as part of the game included generous portions of, fish eyes, giant water scorpion, bird saliva, dried squid ice cream, and spam smoothie.

When it came time for Corden to make a decision to fill or spill, Boyega chose the dry heave-inducing thousand year old egg and asked the host, "So James, here's a question. Have you ever stolen anything? And if so, from where?"

Faced with the option of savoring the egg or divulging his kleptomaniac past, the host chose the latter and dove right in.

"This is completely true and I've never told anybody this," he explained. "I once stole… a candle… from Mariah Carey's house."



Both guests and the studio audience guffawed over the ridiculous revelation.



Corden made a quick attempt to abate the shock with a simple explanation.

I'll tell you why, though. So, these candles, they say 'Mariah Carey' and there's a butterfly on them. And we had gone to film this Christmas 'Carpool Karaoke', and I had to go to her house and we were going to film it from there.

Okay, so maybe the reason wasn't that simple.

We were supposed to film at 3, and I was told, 'get there at 4'. And [she'll] probably be ready. And then I waited, just in her living room, until about 6.30.

Corden thought he'd punish the singer for his time.

[I was] just on my own, and I thought, well… I'm going to take this candle for my time. And I still have it today.



Did the "Always be My Baby" singer even notice the missing object? We do know the "Carpool Karaoke" segment with the both of them aired, so things still went according to plan, regardless of punctuality.

On Twitter, all was revealed when Carey responded.


It's officially on.


Would she learn from her mistakes?




We want to see what the candle looked like.








Of course, Corden being cheeky as ever, responded to Carey.


Others slapped Corden on the wrist for stealing.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
