Meanwhile, behind closed doors, "she's patting herself on the back and saying she did a whole lot better than J.Lo did," said the insider.

"J.Lo had a rough time, with her concert being so tacky and lame and then the wardrobe malfunction really loused things up. Mariah's taking great pleasure in J.Lo's humiliation.

"It was tickling me," she told the audience of the creepy-crawly.

While both divas are 56, "Mariah's convinced she's aging better," noted the insider. "It bugs her that people say J.Lo is an ageless beauty when she thinks she's just as hot, or hotter."
