Next in my diary were gigs, video shoots and parties by Kano and Craig David, Wu Tang, Justin Timberlake, 50 Cent and Timbaland as well as music's biggest event of the year so far- Live Earth. They weren't in my diary for long though. They were all nixed (except the Kano and Craig David shoot in L.A as that was for work and mama always tells me work comes first) as soon as I was invited by Mariah to join her on a boat in Capri.

The journey from los scandalous to Capri couldn't have been fiddlier. I flew L.A to Heathrow, then had an hour to get through immigration, collect my luggage and race from Terminal 2 to 1, then jumped on to a flight to Rome, then jumped on to a flight to Naples, then raced from Naples Airport to Naples port to catch the last speedboat over to Capri Island. Gosh - I'm exhausted just writing that! Finally, I stepped on to the cobbled streets of Capri to be met my MC's security who whisked me off to MC's boat.

I say MC's boat but it was actually courtesy of Italian designer extraordinaire Mr. Roberto Cavalli. In fact, once you were on the boat, it was obviously Roberto's boat as his leather and animal print furniture, designs and presence were everywhere even down to the luxurious Cavalli products in the bathrooms. Every available cupboard was stacked with RC goodies that smelt heavenly. Bed sheets, table cloths, china - you name it, it was designed by Roberto, darlings!

I climbed all three decks to the top where I found Princess Carey reclining on the plush white lounge sofas in a sexy as you like Cavalli bikini and matching green and gold necklace-looking like a replica straight out of Vogue itself. The boat is called Baglietto and was full of exquisite, gracious staff ready to execute our every request. Also in attendance were MC's family Shawn, Rae Rae, Maryanne, and the uber Manager Benny Medina!

We boarded the smaller tender (boat) to get to a remote cliff top restaurant where we ate under the moonlight on the cliffs edge. Just as we finished dinner, we were surprised with hundreds of fireworks that were let off in front of us in the middle of the ocean; did I mention that it looked like the boat caught fire? No - I shouldn't talk about that little mishap. After he scuttled away, we continued debating the merits of the movie Norbit.

Next day, even though we were but metres away from each other in adjoining bedrooms 'pon de boat' MC paged me: "Hey lets go to the blue grotto today!". Of course, even though I had my blackberry with me, I had my 'Out of office' message on in case any of my MTV folks were trying to get a hold of me. So my out of office message pings back to MC who is irritated and confused 'cos now she doesn't know what that message is about. I then had to explain the process of the OOO for MC who's never spent a day of her life in an office bless her.

On day 3 it hit me that being on a boat comes with even more issues than driving a car.

Boat people have their own private snobbery club, so it was a good thing we were on Roberto's boat which is I'm told "really fast for a boat of its size". The yacht parking issues got us each night. We would be having so much fun out at sea jumping in and out of the water, racing around on the jet ski and doing water aerobics that often we would leave it too late to get a space in the dock or it would be too dark to enter the dock. Anytime a cruiser comes in to dock, a million crew members run around carefully placing fenders (huge balloon like missiles) in place to protect their vessel. Issues of the biggest, highest boat were being discussed everywhere. In fact, nearly as much discussion was about Eddie Murphy who was on a neighbouring boat. When I told my friend back in London that Scary Spice's baby daddy was metres away from us she texted me back "OMG-stay away from The Sperminator!"
