Director Spike Lee hosted a dinner with US President Barack Obama last evening and it was attended by Mariah Carey. Joined by her husband, Nick Cannon, the diva was dripping in diamonds at the event that she called “beyond inspiring.”

Coincidentally, Carey and Lee were both celebrated at the 2012 BET Honors for their contributions to the entertainment industry last weekend. The special, which included performances by Kelly Rowland, Patti LaBelle and Jennifer Hudson, will air on February 13th.
