Mariah Carey kisses dancer Bryan Tanaka...as James Packer surprises her on Mariah's World

Adam Bub and Brandi Fowler

Mariah Carey's E! docu-series Mariah's World is continuing to deliver the goods when it comes to the singer's oh-so-dramatic life.

On the latest episode, the songstress gushed over her then-fiancé  James Packer, whom she later broke off her engagement with in September.

The 46-year-old pop icon was beaming when James, 49, jetted to Glasgow, Scotland for the opening night of her European tour.

"My fiancé James, it's very nice for him to pop in on me. It's very sweet," she said.

"He's very busy. He travels constantly, and he didn't really have to fly just to come to my show."

But wait! Mariah's back-up dancer, Bryan Tanaka, 33, whom she's now rumoured to be dating, was also there.

He flew into Scotland to prepare for the first show, and stopped by her dressing room to say "hello" and ironically congratulate her on her engagement.

After reuniting, the duo gave each other a secret handshake, had a beer, and when he left, she gave him a "goodbye" kiss that made him say "Oh my god".

Perhaps James was waiting for the show to begin while all of this was going on? Interesting.

Back in October, reports swirled that James had a blow-up with Bryan at one of the shows earlier in the year over his closeness with Mariah.

In Mariah's real world, she had a special backstage guest at her "All I Want For Christmas Is You" show at New York City's Beacon Theater.

Beyonce, 35, posed for a selfie with Mariah. Both of the uber-talented stars were all smiles as they struck a pose together, with Mariah wearing a plunging glitzy dress, and Beyonce looking stunning in natural makeup, a black top hat, a chain-link necklace and black bomber jacket.

"I love you @beyonce thank you sooooo much for coming out tonight! #merrychristmas," Mariah captioned the photo.

It was a rare moment for Beyoncé, who doesn't take selfies often with celebs - if at all.
