New York, Jan 5 : Pop and R&B singer Mariah Carey has been paid one million dollars to sing at the New Year''s Eve party of Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi's son.

The host of the party, Saif, 36, is said to have spent the huge amount just to hear Carey, 38, sing three or four of her songs at the Nikki Beach Club on Caribbean island of St Barts.

But Carey's representative has, on the other hand, denied knowledge of any payment being made to the singer.
