Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Are Engaged?!

Earlier this week, Mariah Carey was accompanied by Nick Cannon and a very large ring on that Oh So Important Finger...

Today, someone close to Mariah confirmed to Access Hollywood that they are engaged. Well, Mariah is older than me and I'm a little skeeved. I used to watch All That with my kids and remember Nick Cannon on The Disney Channel as a young kid.

Well, I'm happy Mariah Carey found love even if Nick Cannon is about 12 years younger. I'm a little surprsied she can love someone else besides herself. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Mariah fan. I bought her first CD as soon as it came out. It's just that sometimes she says things that are a little...off.

I hope Nick is aware that she's not having kids. According to this article I found on BostonHerald.com, Mariah's not having kids because she wants to stay pretty. And there's more....

Mariah Carey says she’ll abstain from procreating because having a child would leave her feeling “violated.”

Ummmm, ok.... good luck with that.

Mariah Carey Had Abs Painted On?

This is a disturbing story. Has it gotten so bad, that a celebrity would actually stoop to painting on abs? Mariah Carey is an extremely talented singer. She has a voice that is hard to compete with. One of the few real vocalists of our time. Why would she buy into the whole "bony is better" crowd? So the girl has some meat on her bones, it's not like she's obese!

Take a look for yourself:
mariah_carey_abs: painted on?

I don;t know about you, but I would have preferred to have been criticized for having love handles than for faking abs with paint!
