Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary over the weekend by renewing their wedding vows in Paris, France, which is nicknamed the “City of Love & Lights.”

Cannon — who is recovering after experiencing a series of medical problems earlier this year — wore a white tux, while Carey showed off her slimmed down post-baby bod, wearing a white mermaid-inspired gown and a huge diamond necklace.

Using the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop, Nick got down on one knee and re-proposed to his wife and mother of his twins. After exchanging vows, the happy couple had dinner at Le Jules Verne restaurant on the Eiffel Tower.

The couple also have another reason to celebrate. Today (Mon. Apr 30) is Moroccan and Monroe’s first birthday!

Renewing their vows has become a tradition for Mariah and Nick, who got married in April 2008 on Carey’s private island in the Bahamas.

Last year, they renewed their vows in the NYC hospital where their twins were born, and the year before that in 2010, Mariah wore a traditional wedding gown when she and Nick renewed their vows at their Beverly Hills home.

“I have to do it every single year,” Cannon explained about the yearly vow renewals. “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.”

Check out the pics from this year’s vow renewal ceremony in Paris below:

Nick Cannon covers the latest issue of Bleu Magazine as their “Man of the Year!”

Inside the men’s fashion, entertainment and culture magazine, the new father of twins talks about his wife Mariah Carey, being a “sex symbol” and how he was “built for fatherhood.”

Read the highlights from the interview below:

On romance and Mariah Carey: “Mariah and I are both hopeless romantics. We just made a pact to say that we want to be in this because we enjoy each other and we love each other…We want to be successful at being in a relationship; we want to have a good time.”

On relationships: “A relationship shouldn’t seem like something you have to work at; it is not a task. We always wanted a fairy tale relationship…and the drama that normally comes with it, we [can] do without.”

On fatherhood: “I was built for fatherhood. I grew up in a family with a lot of kids…I have taken care of kids my whole life. As soon as my children were born, they became first and everything else became secondary.”

On being a sex symbol: “[Being labeled a sex symbol] comes with the territory when being a solid husband and good father. Women find that kind of stuff appealing and sexy. Growing up, I was always the smallest kid in the school…I was the skinny and lanky dude…So I embrace [being labeled a sex symbol] now.”

Mariah confirmed the shocking news via her Twitter and her official website earlier today (Wed Jan 4).

“Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman,” the R&B/Pop diva tweeted, along with a picture of her lying with him in his bed at the hospital.

Carey wrote on her website that she and her husband were “trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful.”

Read MiMi’s full message below:

This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

We’re doing OK but we’re “straaaaaanded in Aspen”. #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.

Later in the day, Cannon tweeted that he was “currently being transferred to a hospital in L.A.” and also thanked his fans for keeping him in their thoughts and prayers.

“Thank you for all your love, prayers and concern,” he tweeted. “You know me. I will be a’ight.”

A witness told US Weekly that the Cannon-Careys had their 8-month twins along with them as they were flown to L.A. Wednesday evening. “Nick looked pretty frail and weak, but Mariah was helping him,” they said.

His wife Mariah Carey says considering the situation, which she says is “not easy,” the actor and TV personality is in “good spirits,” though he is in “a lot of pain,” but stable.

“We are hopeful that he’ll be 100 percent as soon as possible,” she told People. “We really appreciate everybody’s love and support.”

Get well soon Nick!

Nick Cannon looked like a bank robber as he wore a black ski mask over his face while out shopping with his wife Mariah Carey in Aspen, Colorado over the Christmas Holiday.

Mariah and Nick were spotted making their way out of Mariah’s mother’s jewelry store, and the pair even shared a kiss for the cameras!

It’s an annual tradition for the happily married couple to travel to Aspen for Christmas, except for last year when they didn’t want Mariah to fly while she was pregnant with their twins.

This year, however, the newborn twins Monroe and Moroccan accompanied mommy and daddy on the trip.

Mariah says Christmas is her favorite holiday of all time. She said in a recent interview, “I start planning my Christmas in June. It’s absolutely my favorite holiday and I’ve always loved everything about this time of year. I love cooking and I’m a smash-hit wonder in the kitchen.”

“I’m going to be making the turkey, cranberry sauce and all the trimmings this Christmas,” Mimi continued. “I cooked at Thanksgiving and it was a real success with everyone asking for seconds.”

She added, “Luckily Nick is almost as over-the-top festive as me. One year we hired Santa Claus to come round with real reindeer that looked as if they were going to fly off into the snow at any moment. Everyone loved it.”

Guess the Carey-Cannons really do love Christmas!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon‘s newborn twins Moroccan and Monroe — aka “Dem Babies” — made their big world debut during their parents’ highly publicized interview with Barbara Walters on ABC’s “20/20″ that aired Friday evening (Oct 21).

MiMi and Nick showed off their beautiful babies as they talked about everything in the interview, from being new parents to married life, their struggle to conceive, Carey’s high-risk pregnancy and much more.

“I don’t think I understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to your body,” 41-year-old Carey told Walters. “Carrying two babies. Unless somebody’s been through it, it’s difficult to understand what I went through, because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me.”

As for Nick, he said he doesn’t want them to follow too much in their famous parent’s footsteps, and he’s already planning ahead for his children’s future, calling the tins “little geniuses.”

“Society puts too much on entertainment and entertainers,” Cannon said. “They praise them like they’re royalty, especially in America, where it should really be about the teachers or, you know, the doctors. I want them to be able to sing as beautifully as their mother. I want them to be able to play instruments and everything. But I want them like … ‘Go get a Ph.D.’”

Back in June, Nick Cannon told US Weekly that his son Roc was “laid back like me,” while daughter Roe takes after her mother. “My daughter’s a diva like her mom,” he said.

After much fanfare and anticipation, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed their new additions into the world at a hospital in L.A. on their fourth wedding anniversary on April 30th.

Watch their “20/20″ interview with Barbara Walters below:

Mariah Carey is known for keeping her private life private. So it’s no surprise that the songbird and her husband Nick Cannon have opted to keep their 6 month old twins Monroe and Moroccan out of the public eye … until now, that is!

Mariah and Nick finally revealed their newborn twins — affectionately known as “dem babies” — to the world in an exclusive 20/20 interview with Barbara Walters (to air later this week), where the happily married couple of 3 years will share intimate details about married life, their struggle to conceive, Carey’s high-risk pregnancy, how they’re handling being parents to son Moroccan and daughter Monroe, nicknamed Roc and Roe, and much more.

Solange digs into her personal musical archives to give her fans a treat. Trey Songz really wants us to believe he’s a “sanga turnt rappa.” Nick Cannon is remembering things and wants us to hear about it. And Romeo is borrowing beats from Jay and Yeezy. Tuesday morning’s music is all about reminiscing, borrowing and a lot of convincing. Enjoy!

Solange – “Favors”

[See post to listen to audio]

Solange is currently in the studio with super producer Pharrell Williams putting the finishing touches on her third album. And to hold fans over, she recently released a song called “Favors,” a previously unreleased track she wrote four years ago while recording her “Sol-Angel and The Hadley St. Dreams” album.

“‘Favors’ is no way related to my album,” Solange tweeted, making it clear that this song doesn’t reflect the sound of her new project.

Trey Songz – “Whoever Else”

[See post to listen to audio]

Trey Songz continues to show off his rap skills (of which he’s very fond of) in his newest music release “Whoever Else,” a cut from his “#Lemmeholddatbeat 2″ & “Anticipation 2″ mixtapes (both dropping Nov 1st).

Nick Cannon – “I Remember”

Nick Cannon takes a moment to reflect on a number of things, including his rise to fame, as well as his children, his wife Mariah Carey and his beef with Eminem on “I Remember,” a song Cannon posted to his site yesterday.

“Don’t forget where you’ve come from, and you’ll never lose sight of where you’re going,” Cannon wrote on NickCannon.com.

Romeo – “N**as in Paris (Freestyle)”

Romeo puts his own spin to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N*ggas in Paris.” Take a listen to what the the 22-year-old successor to the “No Limit Throne” has to say.

Monica – “Until It’s Gone”

[See post to listen to audio]

Monica shows off her vulnerable side in “Until It’s Gone,” the latest offering from her upcoming album “New Life,” due in stores November 29th. The songs lyrics stay true to the old saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”

“One thing that I know for sure is you gon’ miss me when I go / And it’s gon’ hurt when you’re all alone,” Monica sings on the heartfelt ballad. “I guess it’s true what people say that you never know what you have until it’s gone.”

Nick Cannon – “Deadlines” (Headlines Remix)

[See post to listen to audio]

Nick Cannon flexes his rapping chops in “Deadlines,” a remix to Drake’s “Headlines.” Dubbing himself “Mr. Hojangles,” (we’re not joking!) the TV personality and husband to Mariah Carey raps about “lapdancing on them bitches” while name dropping names like Sideshow Bob, Lindsay Lohan and Sammy Davis Jr.

“Drake said Nick and Will ain’t never did it this ill, but Nick and Will still worth about a bill,” Cannon raps over Drake’s ‘Headlines’ beat.

Diggy Simmons – “Just Begun”

[See post to listen to audio]

This is only the beginning for rap newcomer Diggy Simmons, as he expresses in his latest music offering “Just Begun.”

“Not the next single,” Diggy said on Twitter. “Just something I made on my trip to LA this past week, while working on the album. I wanted my JetSetters to have this one in advance. A taste of what’s to come.”

Diggy Simmons’ debut album is coming soon…

“I mean I technically wore a ring but I don’t think I was really engaged,” Ebanks told celebrity gossip columnist Rob Shuter. “I want a Prince. I want Prince Harry. Do you think the queen would accept me?”

And as far as kissing she gives Cannon a “meh” but was less enthusiastic about his other, most private asset giving it an even less passionate “meh.”

Ebanks, who is now one of the top earning models in the industry, says she knew she was beautiful at just 6 years old. Sitting in front of her mother’s vanity and catching a glimpse of herself she said, “Oh, I could make some money,” and boy was she right. Now she’s making millions, modeling Victoria Secret’s signature Angel wings — which she says protect her.

“Well if you’re an angel those other bitches don’t mess with you,” Ebanks dishes. “Behind the scenes you do hear snide remarks. I’ve heard girls literally talk about another girl in her face, and literally if she had claws she would be minced meat.”

And although she says she doesn’t judge other people, she does has some advice for larger ladies.

“Listen, I love voluptuous women, what bothers me is when they wear spandex. Don’t wear spandex ladies if you are over size 16. Just because it comes in your size does not mean it’s for you. As women we can wear whatever we want, be sexy but just know the difference, everything has a time and place.”

Pop diva Mariah Carey has finally returned home with her twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

The singer – who gave birth to the newborns on April 30 – has now left the hospital, and her husband Nick Cannon is overjoyed because for the first time it will just be the four of them with no medical professionals around!

Speaking on the joyous moment this past Saturday, Nick said:

“My twins came home today. It’s a whole other level now because they’re at home. There’s no hospital rooms, and there’s no nurses, it’s just us. So, it’s real. It’s a little scary at times, but we’re handling it.”

Nick claims he has found it particularly hard to be away from the twins, something he wasn’t expecting and recently revealed to ’Access Hollywood’:

“I didn’t know it was going to be this tough to leave home every time! Like, I left the hospital to go to New York to do promotion earlier in the week – that was tough. But I’m dealing with it.”

Mariah is also doing well at home, with Nick adding she was looking “beautiful”.

“She’s up and walking around. It’s beautiful – she’s a mommy!”

Congrats to the newly minted parents on their precious bundles of joy!

Barely new parents Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are reportedly being investigated by Child Protective Services.

A shocking accusation grew that while the couple were in the hospital there was drinking and drugs being consumed. In an interview on “Piers Morgan Tonight”, which aired Thursday, Nick cleared up all the rumours and set the record straight. He explained:

“The Child Protective Services were called with allegations that there was some drinking and drugs and all that going on while in the hospital. A nurse suggested to my wife that if you drink Guinness … the yeast improves breast-feeding. I don’t know if someone overheard that, but then they were saying that my wife was drinking beer and all this stuff”.

Both Monroe and Moroccan Cannon were born on the same day as the couple’s 3rd wedding anniversary. On the following Tuesday, Nick was approached in the hallway of the hospital by a CPS worker:

“Even to have to deal with that, even my wife in the state she’s in, and we’re in the hospital, and to even have to think of someone possibly wanting to investigate your children”.

Cannon went on to say that he understands the celebrity circus, but when it comes to children….a line should not be crossed.

“It’s really sad when you think about people trying to make a buck off of newborn babies. I’m more disappointed in society … than having to be it’s because we’re famous. It’s just that people would even go to those lengths to even kind of do something to a family at such a beautiful time in their life”.

Since he’s already got millions in the bank, Nick Cannon can afford to give his blush wife Mariah Carey (whose worth a pretty penny herself) almost anything. Even a necklace worth over $12,000, much like he did this past Mother’s Day!

The “America’s Got Talent” host purchased the the 4-carat diamond and sapphire piece from L.A. boutique Jason of Beverly Hills to commemorate the recent birth of their twin babies, Morrocan & Monroe.

“Nick was really excited about the babies’ names and wanted to do a piece with them fo Mariah’s first Mother’s Day,” jeweler Jason Arasheben told People.

“Nick came in and met with Jason on the Friday after his twins were born,” a source said. “He was bleary eyed, looking so tired but so happy – all smiles, saying he wanted to design something special for Mariah’s first Mother’s Day. He couldn’t wait to surprise her on Sunday.”

Nick just raised the bar for baby fathers all over! Rich bastard.

Nick Cannon is hitting the stage again to spread his comedic flare on TV. The rapper/actor/comedian will appear in his first ever stand up comedy show which is entitled, Mr. Showbiz, which is is set to air on Showtime on May 15th at 9pm.

As a part of his routine, Nick impersonates his grandfather’s reaction to the beef between him and Eminem in 2009, which centered around his wife Mariah Carey.

Check out the preview clip below:

“So we r bout 2 reveal the actual names and b4 we tell em 2 our friends etc.,” she tweeted earlier this week. “I had 2 C if any of the #lambily wanted 2 guess!!! Both begin w/M’s!!!!”

Now, the R&B diver and her husband of 3 years have finally revealed the “unique” names of the tiny tots.

Carey’s longtime manager Cindi Berger told CNN that Mariah and Nick’s daughter is named Monroe Cannon (after mommy’s idol, Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe), and their son will go by Moroccan Scott Cannon, who is named after the “Moroccan Room” in Mariah’s North-African themed New York apartment. The Moroccan Room is also where dad proposed to mom back in 2008.

The baby boy’s middle name, which he shares with daddy Nick, is also the maiden name of Cannon’s grandmother. Monroe wasn’t given a middle name on account of mommy MiMi not having one either, the superstar’s spokesperson said.

What a busy weekend for one of entertainment’s cutest couples.

On Saturday, pop diva Mariah Carey gave birth to twins at an undisclosed Los Angeles hospital. The following day, she and her hubby of three years, mogul Nick Cannon, exchanged wedding vows in a hospital ceremony. As if that weren’t enough, the occasion was officiated by one of the country’s most famous Reverends…….Al Sharpton!

Sharpton tweeted Sunday evening:

“Mariah looks GREAT, and the babies are beautiful. I am so moved by the sincere spiritual commitment of Mariah and Nick. They have not let success separate them from GOD. I am so proud.”

Awww! Congrats guys!

“Dem babies” are finally here. This past Saturday (Apr 30), Pop sensation Mariah Carey didn’t even need to go out and buy hubby Nick Cannon a gift to celebrate their third wedding anniversary, because she gave the young entertainment mogul the best gift there is. The gift of life!

The 42 year old pop diva delivered the precious twins early Saturday afternoon at 12:07 p.m. Eastern at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Carey’s representative, Cindi Berger confirmed the births to the Associated Press, saying the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 lbs. 3 oz., and was 18 inches long; her brother was next, at 5 lbs. 6 oz., and was 19 inches.

And guessed who predicted it all? Nick! People may be quick to forget, but earlier this year Nick correctly predicted when his twins were set to drop. ”I’m not trying to be a psychic, but we renew our vows every year so … It’s probably going to be in the hospital this year. I can feel it,” Cannon said Thursday when he guest-hosted ‘The Talk.’ “We got the minister coming in, so this gown will not be a wedding gown, but a hospital gown.”

When asked if Mariah’s pregnancy was planned to coincide with the couple’s anniversary, Berger claimed that it wasn’t. ”No, not even Mariah could plan that,” she said. ”Nick was very nervous and Mariah was completely calm. Mariah thought it was another soft labor and Nick was driving her to the hospital and she very calm and the music was blasting,” she added. “When they walked into the hospital, [Nick] was going the wrong way and the nurse redirected them to go the maternity ward, and I said to her, ‘that’s right out of I Love Lucy,’ and she laughed.”

Congrats to the newly minted parents!

On the set of his new visual for his latest single “Famous” which features Akon, Nick Cannon channels the deceased career of MC Hammer, the late great Michael Jackson, and KISS frontman Gene Simmons. Check out a few of the shots below:

The club track will appear on Cannon’s upcoming studio album Mr. Showbiz, due out later this year. “Famous” serves as the theme song for Cannon’s first-ever stand-up comedy special, airing May 14 at 9 p.m. on Showtime.

Playful & goofy radio host Nick Cannon, was joking around on his WXRK 92.3 NOW New York based radio show last week when he “accidentally” ended up blurting out he and his pregnant wife Mariah Carey‘s home phone number live on the air to unsuspecting listeners.

After the incident Nick immediately realized that it was a bad idea and tweeted ”My wife is going to kill me over this. Sometimes I get a little too carried away on the radio,” followed by “Just gave out my home phone # on air and my pregnant wife picked up the line OOPS!”

Nick and Mariah’s humble castle was flooded with phone calls by fans who listened to Nick give out the phone number on his radio show. One fan even got the chance to speak with Mariah when she picked up the phone.

Nick then took to Twitter to thank  his lovely wife for being such a good sport about the whole ordeal, tweeting: “Thanks to my amazing wife for being a good sport and allowing me to make good radio. @MariahCarey you are the best!”

How cute! Just gotta love this couple! (More so Mariah than Nicki, but still love none-the-less, ha!)

Normally you’d expect someone whose sold millions of albums, scored countless Grammys, and one of the wealthiest women in music to be quite the diva. Well according to Nick Cannon, that is NOT the case with his pregnant mogul beau Mariah Carey. In fact, Cannon claims that his amazing wife is one of the most selfless people he knows.

“I’m in awe of my wife,” Cannon, 30, told PEOPLE Friday at NBC Universal’s Summer Press Day at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, Calif. “She is the most beautiful, strong person I’ve ever met. Seeing her go through this and have to literally just relinquish everything that she’s always been, and sacrifice her being for her children is just the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

As for Cannon, he, too, is enjoying impending parenthood. “It’s been the most amazing journey I’ve ever been on,” the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host says. “I’ve heard that the journey only gets better, so I can’t wait.”

So, how does Cannon feel about co-parenting with one of the most famous women in the world? “I’m an ordinary guy in an extraordinary situation,” he says. “I got a chance to marry my dream girl. I got a chance to live my dream and entertain people for a living. Everything I do is a blessing. I just wake up happy everyday and I try to spread that joy. If I can make people smile everyday, then I’m doing my job.”

Awwww! How cute! Now drop dem babies already!

Legendary pop diva Mariah Carey is helping her hubby Nick Cannon prepare for his impending fatherhood by letting the young Hollywood mogul hold her “other” twins in the new photo released to the UK edition of OK! Magazine.

Mariah is in the final stages of her pregnancy and is eagerly awaiting the birth of her twins – a boy and a girl – later this month, and she told OK! Magazine that ‘Dem Babies’ are already showing signs of her and Nick’s personalities.

“You can tell the personalities a bit,” explained Mariah. “In viewing our ultrasounds, our boy is all ready like Nick, like, ‘Here I am, take my picture or don’t’. And our girl is coyly facing the other way, like, ‘No pictures,’ waiting for a proper debut. I took some ultrasound footage of them in the womb that I think they’ll definitely find interesting later in life.”

Mariah is also confident that her husband Nick will make a great dad – because he’s already obsessed! “Nick is so excited about being a father. He already has this natural talent with children, they take to him right away. He’s so nurturing, loving and fun. He definitely will be a hands-on dad. He already reads stories to my tummy.”

Drop dem babies already!  Feels like Mariah has been pregnant for two years now…

With his wife’s due date just around the corner, the realities of fatherhood are starting to set in for Nick Cannon. He’ll soon open his home to his two tiny infants — and it sounds like he has started to regret some of his previous decisions.

Earlier in Mariah Carey‘s pregnancy, she and  hubby Nick chose to pose for artistic nude portraits to commemorate the occasion. Now, Cannon is starting to think that was an odd move.

“My children are going to have to see these pictures. It’s a little weird,” Cannon confessed on his radio show Tuesday morning. “It’s a little nasty. I mean, have you ever seen your parents naked? I don’t want my naked booty out there for everyone to see!”

Trust us Nick, we don’t want so see it either.

D/L: NICK CANNON – I’M SO WACK

Nick Cannon and his wife Mariah Carey went from struggling to have a baby, to preparing for a set of twins (a boy AND a girl). As the soon to be father, Nick will be expected to lend a helping hand in the delivery room, but just judging by his Twitter feed, it doesn’t look like daddy-to-be will be much help at all.

“I am probably going to faint in the delivery room! I need to man up!” Nick tweeted. “Or maybe I should say WOMAN UP since they are the ones that have to be the strongest in the whole ordeal! I am in awe of my wife!”

Later that morning, Cannon, who currently hosts a radio morning show, tweeted that his followers have been helpful.

“People listening @923nowfm are trying to give me advice for when that day comes. I’m trying to prepare but I get queezy in Hospitals LOL.”

The set of twins will be the couple’s first children together. Carey was previously married to music executive Tommy Mottola, but they have no children. Isn’t this going to be one big happy family? Who says Hollywood couples don’t work?

Thoughts?

Father-to-be Nick Cannon is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his twins with wife Mariah Carey …. while his brother Gabriel is anxiously awaiting the arrival of bail money.

ET Online reports:

According to the North Hollywood LAPD, Nick’s brother, Gabriel Cannon, was arrested after trying to steal video equipment and personal items from a group of individuals in Studio City, Calif. Gabriel, who was working in conjunction with an unknown number of accomplices, “tried taking our jewelry,” one of his victims told LA’s KCBS.

According to E!Online, the robbery was the result of a business meeting gone bad.

The robbery victims, identified as Alex and Alejo Moreno, work for a production company that for the past year had been shooting a reality show with Gabriel, who previously worked on his brother’s popular “Wild ‘N Out” and “Even Money” shows. Wednesday night (Mar 9) a meeting was allegedly called by Gabriel, which the Morenos allege was really a set-up.

The father-son duo allege that upon their arrival to the proposed meeting, Gabriel and three other assailants arrived to the production offices and began beating them, taking their jewelry, their video cameras and all of the tapes they’d recorded of Cannon.

The group, whose arrests were caught on camera, are still believed to be in custody, though no other information is available.

Lindsay Lohan’s doing snatch & grabs at jewelery stores, Mel Gibson’s dodging assault charges, Charlie Sheen‘s getting high and telling his boss to kiss his ass, and now this. Is it just us? Or is Hollywood is really starting to resemble Compton? SMH…

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated the upcoming arrival of their twins with an extravagant blue and pink baby shower last night (Sun. Mar 6) at the Conservatory Grill at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA.

The future mommy and daddy arrived in style in Carey’s Rolls-Royce (a Christmas present from Cannon) and were joined by family and close friends, including “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson.

More details are below:

The adults-only shower had a warm and romantic atmosphere with small cocktail tables that were decorated with pink roses and blue hydrangeas. (They are expecting a boy and a girl.) Pink and blue balloons also dotted the private event. “Mariah has been anxiously awaiting her shower, and she was very excited when she arrived at the hotel,” says a source. “She couldn’t wait to celebrate her baby twins with her friends.”

Carey and Cannon received many pink-and-blue-wrapped presents and several lavish gifts, including two almost life-size stuffed giraffes and two chairs hand-made for the twins. Guests nibbled on gourmet appetizers and sipped Angel champagne.

“Mariah had the best time at her shower,” says the source. “She was very touched by how nicely everything turned out and excited about all the generous gifts she received. She has been feeling a bit tired and worn out lately, but the shower was an event that she really enjoyed and that made her very happy. Now she can’t wait to meet her baby twins!”

Mariah has also confirmed the news.

“Even before we announced it was twins, I was trying to keep everything genderneutral because I didn’t want to impose an identity on them too soon. There were fan contests on Twitter about what gender they are and rumors about them being two boys or two girls — but nobody guessed this!”

Mariah Carey paid a quick visit to her doctor in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon (Jan 6) for a routine check-up regarding her pregnancy. The R&B diva will be giving birth to twins this coming spring, and recently revealed that she and her husband Nick Cannon have already picked out names for the babies, but they want them to be a surprise.

In other Carey-Cannon news, Nick Cannon purchased his pregnant wife a $400,000 Rolls Royce Phantom for Christmas.

“Still getting over my Christmas gift from @NickCannon.. License plate:mommyMC :)” Mimi wrote on her Twitter earlier this week.

The cat’s out of the bag! Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon will be welcoming not just one baby, but TWO babies, when Mariah gives birth sometime next spring.

According to People.com, after basically lying to the world, Nick Cannon finally put the rumors to rest Thursday (Dec 16) on his radio show when he told listeners: “We are having twins.”

Peep the details below:

The two have been cautious about revealing too many details since they’ve had a “long journey” to parenthood, which included a miscarriage in 2008. But when President Barack Obama happened to ask about her pregnancy, Carey just couldn’t keep a secret.

While performing at TNT’s Christmas in Washington 2010 on Sunday, Carey ran into President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama backstage. “They, ironically enough, questioned my wife about, you know, ‘So, what are you having, are you having twins?’ ” Cannon said Thursday morning on his 92.3 Rollin’ With Nick Cannon radio show.

“And at this point she hadn’t told anybody anything because doctors advised us to keep it to ourselves until we get further along,” he said. “And because of the excitement, because of the emotion, she was overwhelmed [and] she shared with the President and First Lady that we are having twins.” (Source)

Nick and Mariah still haven’t revealed a due date, but the way they’re slowly leaking information these days, we wouldn’t be surprised if they spilled the beans sometime early next year.

Congrats on the twins though!

The food at Katsuya must be just as good as the food at The Ivy, or at least most celebs must think so. Last week we caught singer Nicole Scherzinger having dinner at the restaurant, and yesterday (Mon. Dec 13) we spotted Nick Cannon leaving the spot.

Mariah Carey‘s husband and soon-to-be father of their first child walked out of the restaurant holding a Santa hat (to wear at home for his boo?). He was then seen taking off in his G-class Mercedes Benz solo steez. We see that whip, Nick!

Nick Cannon may be married and all smiles now…….but at one point the actor’s future wasn’t looking too good.

In a recent interview, Cannon recalls going MC Hammer broke at the age of 19…….and not listening to well-given advice from Will Smith.

“I became a millionaire and went broke all before the age of 19. I spent it right away and did a lot of frivolous, unintelligent things with the money. I bought jewelery and Range Rovers… instead of buying property I was leasing the most expensive property, and then you turn around and you owe the government 44% of what you made and you don’t understand that, even when people you tell that [beforehand]. One of those who was a mentor to me at that young age and opened a lot of doors was Will Smith. I remember when I was going to buy the Range Rover he said, ‘Man, don’t go buy that, you don’t need that.’ He was someone who made $1 million and lost it at a young age, so you got to pay attention to the people who came before you. I would encourage people who do get a little bit of money to save it and invest it and hold on to it. And make sure you pay your taxes.”

Now the 30 year-old entertainer is a father-to-be and has his priorities in the right order.

“I believe becoming a father will affect my career tremendously. I’m so focused on being the best entrepretainer I can be, before that it was being the best husband, now it’s being the best father. My career has to take a step back because I have a new priority [and] because of that new priority I need to be more focused on getting that paper. So I have a new energy behind me of why I want to be successful, I’m excited about that.”

We’re glad to know you’re growing up Nick!

Chris Brown and Trey Songz laughed it up on the red carpet of the 2010 GQ Gentlemen’s Ball at the Edison Ballroom in New York City Wednesday night (Oct 27). The two R&B singers were joined by Nick Cannon, Jay Sean, B.o.B., Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore, and others at the annual GQ event.

“It’s still early, I’m expecting in the spring, I’ll say that. I don’t want to give too much of like, specific outlines,” she said.

This marks the second time Mr. and Mrs. Cannon have gone through a pregnancy. The first resulted in an unfortunate miscarriage two years ago, something the couple kept from the world for privacy concerns.

“It was really sad so we had to just, we had really to absorb this and take it in,” Carey said about her miscarriage.“And that’s what I said,” Nick chimed in. “Like her strength would literally be during the day so festive and smiling obviously for cameras and spending time with everyone and you know, literally that night crying herself to sleep.”

Congrats to Mariah and Nick!!!

She stopped drinking back in March or April.”

Continue reading to see what he said (or what he didn’t say LOL):

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it time and time again – when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her. We all know it’s extremely personal, and it is for a woman to deal with things with her body, and especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff.”

Nick went on to add:

“That’s something you want to keep near and dear and as close to you as you possibly can, until you’re 100% sure, in any situation. There’s a certain time limit you’re supposed to wait before you can actually officially say that you are and all that stuff. You don’t want to mislead anybody.”

Way to make things look even more obvious Nick! A simple “no comment” would have done just fine. Now you’ve gone and added more fuel to the fire, SMH…
