Mariah And Nick Want Smart Babies

You’d think any child with Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon‘s genes would be a lock for the entertainment industry, but Cannon swears to People that their eventual offspring won’t be destined for the stage. “I’m not going to be one of those stage daddies who says, ‘Get out there and sing.’ I want to raise some doctors and astronauts.”

No offense to the happy couple, but we have a hard time imagining Butterfly Carey-Cannon or her equally hypothetical brother Hero going to med school—let alone blasting into orbit—after spending their childhood in one of Mariah’s mansions. Did you see her Cribs episode? Forget graduate degrees, Cannon’s going to have his hands full just keeping them off reality TV.
