Mariah Carey stilettos lead to a dislocated shoulder? Mariah Carey’s latest single “#Beautiful” with Miguel might be working its way up the charts, but after a series of controversial performances and bad press from “American Idol,” record execs felt it would be best for the singer to record a remix to ensure the song would become a smash hit. So Mariah was able to nab Young Jeezy for the official remix, but the shooting for the music video for the remix was disastrous. According to reports, the legendary singer actually injured herself so badly she had to be rushed to the hospital. In fact, it’s been confirmed Mariah actually dislocated her shoulder and some reports suggest it’s because of the stilettos she was wearing. The New York Post reports:

The superstar was rushed to New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery on the Upper East Side late last night to have her shoulder reset after she fell while filming a video for the remix of her song #Beautiful.

Carey’s spokeswoman Cindi Berger said, “Mariah was injured while filming a video for the remix of #Beautiful, directed by her husband Nick Cannon.

“She was taken to hospital late last night, where doctors reset her shoulder. She is fine and is recovering at home.”

…Another source tells us that Mariah, 40, may have tripped and fallen on her trademark high heels while filming the video downtown on Sunday evening.

And we’re told that despite her painful injury, the Mariah will still appear at the free concert in Central Park’s Great Lawn on July 13 in a concert with Major League Baseball to benefit Hurricane Sandy Relief. A source added, “She will perform, but it is likely she will have her arm in a sling.”
