Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon congratulated by stars

Celebrities including Nicki Minaj and Alyssa Milano have extended their congratulations to new parents of twins Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

The 'Touch My Body' singer and her husband welcomed a son and a daughter together on Saturday, which also happened to be the third anniversary of their wedding.

As the couple got to know the new additions, Hall Pass actress Milano was quick to spread the happy news on Twitter, prompting more celebrities to send their well-wishes.

'Moment 4 Life' singer Minaj tweeted to Carey: "Congratulations Mariah & Nick! The twins have finally landed on earth! Yaaayyyyy!"

R&B group Boyz II Men, who collaborated with Carey on 1995 hit 'One Sweet Day', later added: "Just got the news! Congrats Mr and Mrs Cannon on ur (your) twin babies!! Look forward to sleepless nights for the next few weeks..."

Music producers Jermaine Dupri and Rodney Jerkins were also amongst the mass of Twitter users congratulating the couple.

Cannon, who previously described the birth as "the most incredible anniversary gift", returned to the social networking site this evening to declare: "I'm in the happiest place I've ever been in my life. I never had more amazing things happening. I am humbled by God's Favour!!"

Mariah Carey gives birth to twin babies

Mariah Carey has welcomed twins earlier today with husband Nick Cannon.

Cindi Berger, a representative for the couple, confirmed to The AP that Carey gave birth today at 12.07pm EDT at an unknown hospital in Los Angeles.

The singer's daughter was born first, weighing 5lb 3oz, followed closely by a boy, weighing 5lb 6oz.

"My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life!" Cannon tweeted earlier today. "I won't ever be able to top this!"

The comedian sat down for an interview with Ellen DeGeneres earlier this week, in which he revealed Carey was likely to give birth "at any minute".

The statement also revealed that the pair listened to Carey's 2005 single 'We Belong Together' shortly after the births.

Although the couple have yet to name the new arrivals, they are expected to renew their wedding vows tomorrow, having celebrated three years of marriage today.

Mariah Carey giving birth to twins today?

Mariah Carey is said to be having her and husband Nick Cannon's twins today.

According to Extra, the 42-year-old booked a caesarean section to guarantee that she gives birth.

An insider claimed: "Hollywood baby bump watchers are whispering that the singer is scheduled to undergo a C-section at an L.A. area hospital on Friday."

Although the couple are yet to comment on the speculation, Cannon discussed the impending birth on The Talk yesterday.

The presenter admitted that Carey is ready to give birth, explaining: "How's [Mariah] doing? She's pregnant. She's doing amazing, but literally, it's any moment now. It's not even any day now… She is ready to just pop!

"The baby nurse and all that is ready. [The] bags are packed! I don't know why I'm here!"

Cannon added that Carey nearly went to the hospital on Wednesday as she thought she was going into labour.

Mariah Carey 'loves looking at twins' nursery'

Mariah Carey has revealed that she is in awe of the nursery she has created for her forthcoming twin babies.

The singer, who is expecting a boy and a girl with husband Nick Cannon, said that she "loves" the room that she's decorated for them.

She told Life & Style: "I wanted to create a beautiful, tranquil, cosy environment for the babies. Everything matches, but pieces are individualised to celebrate the twins as separate entities.

"The ceiling has orangey-pink clouds in a blue sky with golden stars twinkling. It's based on two songs I wrote that are fan favourites, 'Underneath the Stars' and 'Close My Eyes'.

"Sometimes I just sit in the nursery and stare at the ceiling because I love it so much. To me, it symbolises wanting my children to dream as big as possible and to let their imaginations be unbridled."

Carey, who is expecting the twins to arrive within the next few weeks, hopes that she will learn from her kids.

She added: "Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us.

"It's going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded. One thing I'm sure of is that I'll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what."



How pregnant Mariah's private nude pic became game for the world to see

Nick Cannon has revealed that he did not plan to release the naked photo shoot of his pregnant wife Mariah Carey, but the picture 'turned out so beautiful' that they thought 'the world should see this'.

"That was a normal photo shoot, that wasn't really a photo shoot that we thought we were going to put out to the public," the New York Daily News quoted Cannon as telling E! News.

Cannon also participated in the photo shoot, but said he was less partial to his nude body being publicized.

Mariah Carey falls on stage

Mariah Carey has fallen on stage during a gig in Singapore.

The singer - rumoured to be pregnant - was performing to over 100,000 guests at the Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix event yesterday.

In a YouTube clip, the 'Obsessed' star is seen singing her hit song 'Make It Happen' when she slips over in her stiletto heels.

Mariah Carey has been sued by her veterinarian over $30,000 (£20,006) worth of unpaid bills, according to reports.

Veterinarian Cindy Bressler filed the claim in a New York City court on Wednesday alleging that the singer paid only $8,200 (£5,468) of the roughly $37,800 (£25,206) worth of charges for care provided to her three dogs, reports The AP.

Celebrating their second wedding anniversary, Cannon told press, "We get married every year! That's our thing. [This one will] be more traditional...The last two weddings we had were kind of island-driven and off in remote places. This time we're going to do it home."

He added, "I have to do it every single year. If you were married to Mariah Carey, you'd want to marry her every year too! I just have to keep doing it to make sure it's real."

Dream Keeper Dazzler

Getting all glammed up for a public appearance, Mariah Carey made her way to the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers in New York City on Thursday night (April 15).

Clad in a sexy little black dress, the Grammy winning singer was on-hand for the 12th Annual Keepers of the Dream Awards, which "recognizes exemplary displays of committed service to the tenets of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the ultimate dreamer."

Aside from her Dream Keeper outing, Miss Carey has reportedly signed on to star alongside Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jurnee Smollett, Kimberly Elise, Kerry Washington, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose and Loretta Devine in Tyler Perry's new movie.

Mariah Carey's Ass goes Shopping

Behold the power of Spandex! Mariah Carey stuffed her massive booty into a pair of spandex pants and surprisingly, the fabric held up!

Hollywood's biggest butt singer was out and about with her husband, dressed in what seemed to be work out clothes paired with high heels, and they ended up at a very quaint mall in Upstate New York where a bystander took some photos of them.

The couple graciously posed for the camera and even made-out for the photographer's benefit. The best part is that Mariah Carey's Ass was shot from every angle, giving us a great view of it!

Everyone should experiment with porn

Mariah Carey recently proved that she could be a prankster too—the crooner left hubby Nick Cannon stunned when she called his radio show and acted like a porn-crazy woman.

The singer introduced herself as Debbie from Long Island during the prank phone call to the New York show Rollin With Nick Cannon on 92.3 NOW FM.

Then she declared that she was a fan of adult films and went on to list their benefits.

"Me and my husband have a very good time when we watch porn and I don''t think it''s bad. I think if it was bad it wouldn''t exist! And I think that everyone should experiment with porn!” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"I mean Nick, come on, you know you look at porn! Tonight when me and my husband look at porn, I already know it''s gonna be a humdinger!" she added.

Cannon soon caught on and quickly announced, "Ladies and gentleman, this is how hilarious my wife is. This is Mariah Carey calling the station talking about porn!"

Carey joked, "I don''t even know what you''re talking about! All I''m saying is stop talking bad about porn!"

'Ugly juice' revives Mariah Carey

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Mariah Carey gulped "ugly juice" for her role as a dowdy social worker in "Precious," a film performance that may free her from painful memories of box office bomb "Glitter."

Carey told CNN's Larry King she would like to take on the real life role of a mother -- but only after her career obligations slow down "because I cannot do the having-a-child thing halfway."

The interview -- airing on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday -- also explores the singer's thoughts on her marriage to Nick Cannon and Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna.

Carey's career hit a low point after her 1998 divorce from record label chief Tommy Matolla.

"Glitter" -- an almost-autobiographical movie -- was panned by critics and ignored by fans in 2001. The only honor she got from it was a "worst actress" Razzie.



Video: Carey discloses emotional abuse Despite a physical and emotional breakdown that sent her to a hospital in July 2001, Carey said she never doubted she would bounce back.

"Never, because I have so much faith," she told King. "And I'll never lose my faith, ever."

Now, Carey has a husband -- actor Nick Cannon, who also heads Nickelodeon's Teen Nick programming.

Her new album -- "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" -- sits on top the R&B charts.

And she has a small, but impressive part in Lee Daniel's critically-acclaimed "Precious." Instead of Razzies, the buzz this time is about Oscars.

Daniel -- a friend with whom Carey has worked before -- called her just three days before shooting was scheduled to replace Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren in the role, she said.

Carey, 39, is a star who arrives for interviews with her own photography director to make sure camera angles and lighting are flattering. Her character, though, was far from the glamorous image she's cultivated for years.

She joked that she drank "ugly juice" to prepare for the role.

"It's this really good stuff. I'm going to market it," she said. "It's called 'I want to be in the movie, and this is what's required.' I've been working on my craft for a long time. People never want to let go of the whole 'Glitter,'... I'm like, 'It's eight years later, people. Let's move on.' "

Carey was at first evasive, but finally denied King's question about rumors she was pregnant.

"It would be the happiest thing in my life, but what I'm saying is, right now with this movie coming out, with the next few singles from the album and those things that I'm doing, I need to focus on that because I cannot do the having-a-child thing halfway," she said.

Carey said she would first cut back on her work.

"I wouldn't be just like, 'Oh, I'm having a child, yay! Let me get a nanny so I can give her the baby. Take the kid,' " she said. "That doesn't work for me."

Carey will always be in show business, she said.

"Come on, I can't help it," she said. "It's in my genes. My mother was an opera singer. I'm clearly dramatic."

She married Cannon in April 2008 after they "connected on a lot of levels." He was her first real love, she said.

She's 10 years older than Cannon, but she insisted the age difference is not an issue.

"No, because we're both the same," she said. "We both like the same things. We both like -- we are really both big kids. Like, we both like roller coasters."

Carey said she's "eternally 12."

"I really don't like being a grown-up," she said. "It's not fun and I never wanted to be a grown-up. But then I have to go into my business."

She said it is hard for her to understand the physical abuse between her friends Rihanna and Chris Brown because she was "very sequestered" when she was a younger star. "I wasn't really allowed out of the house, so I can't imagine what she went through."

"If I were just allowed to be young and with a young boyfriend who's also a star and you know, you're working and you're both -- I don't know what goes on," she said.

Carey said she suffered what she described as emotional and mental abuse in her first marriage.

"For me to really get out, it was difficult because there was a connection that was not only a marriage, but a business thing where the person was in control of my life," she said.

Mariah Carey goes for walks dressed as a man

The 40-year-old singer, who is married to rapper-and-actor Nick Cannon, likes to see if she can trick people by wearing her husband's clothes.
She said: "I go for walks in a semi-disguise. That's fun to me. I like to go to public places and do things that I would never get a chance to do. The other night, I went out wearing Nick's clothes.
"The problem is, if they recognise him, they're going to recognise me. If he's holding someone's hand and walking with them, they're going to look and go, 'Who is he with?' "
Mariah has also spoken of her love for her 28-year-old husband, who she married last year after a whirlwind romance.
Mariah - whose ex-husband is music executive Tommy Mottola - never thought she would settle down until she met Nick.
She told website AOL Popeater: "I don't think I feared love because I guess I almost didn't believe in it. I didn't really trust people. I didn't really trust what it would be like to be in a relationship again because so many times it had been disappointing. But the situation with Nick is totally different because we're very similar. We have a lot of the same likes and dislikes and we have so much fun together."
Mariah has made no secret of her desire to start a family, and has chosen names for her children even though she isn't pregnant.
She explained: "We have to keep the name secret because if we told everybody, then somebody might use it and then we have to change it, and then it wouldn't be as good. We picked these names out a long time ago."

Mariah Carey and her husband have "lots of phone sex".

Actor-and-rapper Nick Cannon - who wed the 'Obsessed' singer in 2008 - use lusty long distance conversations to keep the romance alive when their work sends them to separate cities.
Asked how he and Mariah coped with being apart, Nick said: "There's lots of phone sex! And when I get home, we have a big party!"
The 28-year-old star also revealed he and Mariah, 40, are planning to have a baby in the near future.
He said: "We definitely want a family. It's at the forefront of our minds."
Mariah added: "Of course, we'd be happy with one. I want to be able to manage the right amount of attention.
"We are so busy - if you have six kids running around, no one gets what they need. Kids need a lot of attention."
If they can't conceive naturally, the couple would "definitely" consider adoption.
Nick explained: "It's never out of the question. I was raised by my grandmother, who was also a foster mom, so I grew up around a lot of kids."

Mariah Carey delays album, 'Today' show appearance: What's going on here?

If you marked down any Mariah Carey-related events on your calendar for this month, you’d better hope you used erasable ink. Not only has the release of her upcoming album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, been repeatedly pushed back — from Aug. 25 to Sept. 15, then again to Sept. 29 — but the diva recently postponed several promotional events, including planned appearances on NBC’s Today show, on VH1’s Storytellers, and at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What gives?

“Mariah is working tirelessly on finishing up her album, doing promo for her film Precious and launching a new perfume with Elizabeth Arden,” a rep for Carey’s label told the Music Mix. “Release dates change all the time…It’s really nothing unusual.” The label rep also pointed to a post on the singer’s official site announcing that “we have shifted all of our TV and promo appearances to coincide with the new release date.” Fair enough, I suppose, though that strikes me as slightly circular reasoning. (The promo events were postponed because of the album release delay, which happened because…?) “It’s no big deal,” added another Carey publicist when contacted by the Music Mix, echoing comments made in a recent interview with People. “Everyone seems to think that it’s a big deal, but it’s not. She just wants to fine-tune some things [on the album].”

It’s certainly true that release dates often get changed without prior notice in the music industry. And maybe Carey’s label is just waiting for a single that’s bigger than the decent mid-level hit that “Obsessed” is shaping up to be so far. So what do you think? Why does Carey keep postponing things? And, if you’re a Mariah fan, are you content to keep waiting for Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, or will you start to get impatient at some point?
