Mariah Carey Kinda Confirms Pregnancy, Nick Cannon Finally Gets To Blab About It

mariahcareymain

Mariah Carey is pregnant. Kinda. Sorta.  Look we all know, so basically she needs to flat-out confirm the obvious! She wrote on her website last week, “I appreciate everyone’s well wishes. But I am very superstitious. When the time is right, everyone will know–even Cindi Berger [her publicist].”

That’s totally like saying “I’m preggers”, right?  Everyone could see it when Mariah performed in Brazil a couple of days ago. Spotted: one baby bump!

This is all been like giving hubby Nick Cannon the green light to rhapsodize to the press. “I think ’superstitious’ might be the wrong word,”  he mused. “I think it’s more of a spiritual thing. Like trying to stay true and stay private for as long as you possibly can.  She wants to keep as much privacy as she possibly can.”  Pregnant Pregnant Pregnant!

So basically you guys are saying: we’re pregnant but we’re being mysterious, and yet we still want you to keep asking us about the baby we’re not discussing? Just come out and say it already! We get the need for privacy … but we also wanna congratulate you, M.C!

The curvies have the best bodies of the beach, hands down. Question is - which lady should come out on top? It’s a crowded category starring Amber Rose, Coco, Kim Kardashian, Mariah Carey, Snooki and Sofia Vergara.

Nick Cannon: An Older Lady Popped His Cherry

59844758

Nick Cannon had a thing for older women, way before he popped the question to Mariah Carey, who is 11 years older than her her hubby. Cannon revealed, “I was always a little attracted to women that were a little older than me. I even lost my virginity to an older lady… I actually ended up crying at the end of the whole ordeal.”   Ummm sure, it’s emotional?

He went on to say,  ”She was in high school and I was in junior high…we were in a sleeping bag…I said we should change positions, she was like ‘just get off me!’” he added. “She ran into the bathroom with all of her friends and they were in there laughing…I vowed from that day forward no woman would ever laugh at me in the sack again and that’s when the ‘Cannon’ was born.” That’s called blowing your own…uhh…trumpet, Cannon.

About his wife, he had this to say, “We connected at a spiritual level… she is the funniest person ever and has a great sense of humor.” But M.C. is a diva so he’s learned to work around her quirks. Cannon said, “Imagine if you’ve got the diva of all divas… if we gotta be somewhere at five or six o’clock, I tell her it’s time to go at noon so she gets those five hours to do what she needs to do.”

On another note, pregnancy rumors have been flying around Nick and Mariah. The buzz peaked when she abruptly dropped out of  Tyler Perry’s new film. Filming was supposed to begin next month on the adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s 1975 play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Her rep stated, “She is not doing the movie because her doctor advised her not to. More than that I cannot comment further.” Sounds smokey, so there’s got to be a fire!

Who Will Be The Next Celebrity Mom?

Mothers Day is just 48 hours away, and while Nicole Richie, Katie Holmes and Heidi Klum are off celebrating with their kids, we here at The FABlife are honoring the future moms of Hollywood. You know the ones - they’re always playing with their sister’s kid, blabbing to the press about how many tots they dream of having and starring in a bevy of pregnancy rumors. We’ve got the five biggest wannabe moms fighting for the title of next celebrity mom - who do you think will get knocked up first?

  • Paris Hilton: Every time she gets a new boyfriend she gushes about how many kids she wants. “I definitely want three or four [children],” she said while dating Benji Madden in 2008. Now that’s she’s single, is she still as interested in being a mom?
  • Kim Kardashian: “I always had a vision I’d be married with one kid by the time I’m 30,” she said last fall. With just a few months to go until the big 3-0, will she find a guy to do the deed (Reggie, we’re looking at you)?
  • Mariah Carey: Mimi is always rumored to be pregnant, but has yet to reveal a baby bump worth talking about. She claims marrying husband Nick Cannon changed her opinion about having kids - but will she let him actually help create one?
  • Beyonce: The singer has said that she “definitely want[s] to have a child” with husband Jay-Z and she loves hanging with her nephew, so what’s stopping her? All her single lady friends?
  • Holly Madison: Hugh Hefner’s ex-girl next door confirmed that the couple had tried to have kids prior to their split, and she’s constantly gushing about all things baby. Who will be her next A-List sperm donor?

Mariah Carey Has Brand-New Diva Demands

mariah-carey

Her album sales might not be doing too well, but Mrs. Nick Cannon’s backstage do’s and dont’s reveal that she’s still a ginormous diva. Remember how Mariah Carey demanded 20 white kittens and a hundred white doves for an appearance at a London Christmas party?  And let’s not forget that a few years ago Mariah’s tour rider stipulated Cristal champagne, a box of bendy straws and a tea service using only Poland Spring water. Of course, she also required a spread with danishes, doughnuts, bagels, croissants and cream cheese.

Now, she’s upped the ante but trimmed the details. No champagne and carbs anymore. In their place, her rider demands chilled Chardonnay, vanilla protein shakes, iced tea, a veggie platter and a solitary bottle of Opus One Cabernet Savignon (it doesn’t come cheaply). The diva’s dressing room must also be outfitted with two dozen white roses and vanilla aromatherapy candles, and should be at about 75 degrees. “A lamp or clip light” must be provided because Miz Carey doesn’t do harsh light in her backstage bathroom.  That’s not all folks. Her “living room space” can’t have any “busy patterns.” The colors black, dark grey, cream and dark pink cut the mustard, but nothing else will do. Right, because all of that will make her records sell.

Visions of Love, Glitter And Butterflies: The Mariah Carey Musical

59844706

If the Spice Girls can have a musical made about their lives, then why not Mariah CareyBroadwayWorld.com is reporting that Mariah is hoping to bring the story of her life to the Great White Way in the near future, but it’s unclear whether Mimi will star herself.

A source explained that if Mariah doesn’t star in it, she has some ideas about who should. “Names being tossed around include High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens and Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria. But Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her,” the source said.

If we may, we think an even better idea is to hire the woman from Bulgarian Idol who sang “Ken Lee” (otherwise known as “I Can’t Live (If Living Is Without You”). There are no further details about the musical so far, but we’re willing to bet that Glitter will be totally glossed over, which is just wrong. [Photo: Getty Images]

Ke$ha Disses Justin, Justin Disses Mariah

We love a good celebrity feud. Lord knows it’s the only reason we check Courtney Love’s Twitter feed. But today it’s Justin Bieber who’s at the center of not one but two feuds (nowhere near the level of Courtney Love and say, Lily Allen, but still entertaining nonetheless).

First, it seems that poor Justin was the target of one of Ke$ha’s more random bouts of verbal diarrhea when she told Maxim magazine that she thought of Biebs as “a tiny little baby” and she’d love to “to push him around onstage in a carriage.” Ohhhkay. Ke$ha felt bad about that one though and apologized on Twitter (but of course), writing “dear justin b i am so sorry if my bad joke has hurt your feelings, u r obviously so talented and i would never mean to offend u. i think u r rad.” Classic. We weep for the legacy that 2010 is leaving behind. OMG u guys.

Ke$ha and Justin are, in our minds, on the same level - relatively new to the scene, so if they trade barbs it’s no big thing. But Bieber had an “Oh, no he didn’t” moment this week when he decided to aim some criticism at Mariah Carey, something that, um, no one should do. Bieber, discussing Carey, reportedly told The Sun, “I don’t love her new music, it’s not the same. It’s like Michael Jordan coming back out to play in the NBA. She is past her best.”

The quote has been taken down off The Sun’s website, though it’s unclear if it’s because it was drawing so much attention or if it was actually fabricated. We hope for Bieber’s sake it was fabricated because we fear the wrath of Mimi. [Photos: Getty Images]

Nick Cannon And Janell Snowden Are In Love

We jest! Sort of. Sifting through our 2010 Oscars coverage, we came across this video clip of Janell Snowden, our friend from VH1 News, walking up to Mariah Carey and telling her straight up that she’s always had a thing for her hubby Nick Cannon. Mariah looks peeved at first, but then rolls with the joke. But what neither Mimi nor Janell know is that we’ve been waiting for just the right moment to unearth a clip of an on-camera flirtation between Nick and Janell that’s been buried deep within our archives.

Below is a mashup of Janell interviewing Nick at two different Sundance Film Festivals — before and after he was married. The clip involves hugs, pecks on the cheek, declarations of love, and talk about condoms and what could have been. Don’t worry Mariah, it’s clearly all in good fun! Maybe.

Is Mariah Carey Pregnant?

mariah-carey-200xMariah Carey alluded to a special surprise planned for the future in a recent interview, and she has us hooked. Who knew that Mariah Carey could bait us so efficiently? While we were wondering if she were pregnant, we think that she could also be planning a special musical release or collaboration sometime soon. What do you think?
