Mariah Carey

Rumors are abuzz that pop diva Mariah Carey achieved her ‘eternally 12′ figure through weight loss surgery. But the recently married singer denied the rumors saying that she worked out to get slim.

The star lost a whooping 32 pounds (14.5 kilograms) in a few months and displayed her hot figure during the launch of her E=MC2 album. Her remarkable weight loss set the rumors ringing that the diva went under the knife to get a fabulous figure.

Mariah snaps back, “I know the U.K. is freaking out that I had some crazy plastic surgery done, but… honestly, it’s working out and diet. Look at what I’m eating right now: olives!

“It makes me upset that people think I’ve had surgery, ’cause let’s discuss how annoying the dieting process was. My girls will eat really good fried food, and I also love sweet plantain and rice and peas, but I can’t eat it! If I eat it, it’s small!”

Lets hope she doesn’t follow Janet Jackson’s footsteps.

Mariah Carey has devised a plan to avoid smudging her lipstick; she has simply hired a girl who works as a drinks holder for the diva.

The drinks holder girl holds straw and the drink for Mariah so that she doesn’t smudge her lipstick.

According to Mariah’s vocal coaches David and Carrie Grant, the ‘Touch My Body’ singer apart from her personal drinks holder also has many other helpers who help her out with many things.

Carrie said, “There was a woman that held her drink with a straw. That’s all she does, flies around the world as a drinks holder.”

David also revealed, “It’s like old monarchs had food tasters.

“She has a drinks holder so she doesn’t smudge her lipstick.”

And what work does hubby Nick do???

Mariah Carey is planning to walk down the aisle again in an extravagant $4m wedding. Unlike her intimate and secret Bahamas wedding, her $4m wedding to Nick Cannon will be an extravagant affair.

According to an insider, “It’s going to be held in New York City in the next six weeks. Picture a wedding on the scale of Liza Minnelli’s (to David Gest) and you’ll be on the right track.”

Another source reveals,  “She wants over 2,000 guests and the budget will be well over $4 million and she’ll have at least 14 bridesmaids.”

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon tied the knot last month on April 30th in an intimate and secret wedding ceremony in Bahamas.

Mariah Carey recently married Nick Cannon and is enjoying her new married life.

She said, “[It’s] fantastic. It’s a stone smash!”

And Mariah is leaving no stone unturned to support her new hubby; she attended the Operation Smile Fund raising event in NY to cheer her hubby, DJ for the night.

Cannon is also enjoying living life with his new wife.

Cannon said,” It’s a beautiful thing. It’s a beautiful situation … carrying on and on each day.”

When quizzed how’s Mariah to live with? “I’ve been doing my research for quite a while. We’ve been friends for a while,” said Cannon.

Mariah Carey revealed on Ellen DeGeneres chat show that she will be repeating her vows with Nick Cannon once again next year- and it would be a perfect wedding not a quickie like their first one.

Carey told on the show, “Instead of trying to be like, ‘you’re invited, but, shhh, don’t tell anybody,’ we’re just going to have another [wedding] next year. [Nick’s] plan is to have one every year.”

Mariah revealed that the people who attended their intimate wedding ceremony were “mainly people there to do my hair and help me with the dress.” The couple only invited three close friends as “we wanted to be on the beach and we didn’t want other people taking pictures.”

When De Generes asked Mariah what she felt when people brand her marriage as a publicity stunt, she said, “We both experienced the hoopla of trying to make something a publicity stunt, which is what everybody thinks, and will think anyway, but we don’t really care about that.”

“My parents divorced when I was three and I didn’t have many examples of what was the ‘norm. But with Cannon I found the right person.”

I wonder if Cannon found the right person?!?

Mariah Carey and new hubby are eager to start a family. Apparently the couple is looking out for a good nursery.

It is rumored that Mariah’s assistant had called up LA’s Petit Tresor baby boutique for a nursery.

Carey’s assistant requested the store to send some fabric samples and work on a butterfly theme.

But the recently married singer’s manager, Benny Medina, has denied the pregnancy rumors.

Mariah Carey is over the moon these days, as her hubby Nick Cannon has given her a wedding gift worth a whooping $16million : A 14-carat, pink diamond ring.

Mariah recently sported the rock on her finger when she was dining at NY’s Waverly Inn and it left all diners at the restaurant mesmerized.

A source close to the couple said, “Nick has been besotted since he first met Mariah on a US TV show three years ago. Just before they got married, he got down on one knee again and gave her the pink diamond ring he’d had custom made. She was stunned and thrilled.”

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon tied the knot last month in a secret and intimate ceremony.

Mariah Carey tells in the latest issue of People’s magazine, “We really do feel we are soul mates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.”

Cannon also praises his wife and says, “She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside.”

Lets hope they always feel like this for each other throughout their lives.

Mariah-Nick have also made their marriage official-by filing a marriage license on the Caribbean Island of Eleuthera.

Bahamian attorney in Nassau, Monique Gomez says,”Bahamas marriage requirements state that a couple must stay in the county for 48 hours, must be over the age of 16 and should obtain a valid marriage license within 90 days.”

Carey-Cannon obtained the license within the required time period.

Gomez said, “The minister would make sure [the license] goes into the registry. It’s still a valid marriage even if it’s not filed. Anywhere in the world.”

Nick’s sister, Linda Cannon said,” He called and told us all about it.”

A friend of Mariah revealed, “Everyone is happy to see her happy.

“And it could work out — some people know each other for five years and get divorced, maybe this is true instant love.”

Mariah was previously married to record executive Tommy Mottola and Nick was engaged to Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks, which was later, called off.

We wish Carey-Cannon a wonderful married life ahead.
