There are several stories in this week?s tabloids about Mariah Carey?s new American Idol stint, although I don?t think we?ll be getting the real dirt until Idol begins officially and disgruntled workers start leaking like crazy to the tabloids. Thus far, the ?scandals? are pre-emptive ? Star Magazine reports that Mariah is hellbent on out-shining, out-diva-ing, out-Mariah-ing Jennifer Lopez?s tenure on Idol. Mariah was ?adamant? about getting a bigger contract, and she wants to make sure that everyone is talking about her outfits, just like they talked about Jennifer?s. And Mariah is already making big demands for her dressing room, which must include ?organic baby beds? for Moroccan and Monroe and a ?playspace? for Nick Cannon. But! The Enquirer claims that Nick isn?t happy AT ALL about Mariah?s new Idol contract. Their sources claim that Nick was doing everything he could to keep Mariah off the show. Something about Nick wanting Mariah to stay home and take care of the babies?
BECOMING an ?American Idol? judge may be a boon for MARAH CAREY??s career, but it?s a bust for her marriage!
Her hubby, Nick Cannon, who hosts ?Idol? rival ?America?s Got Talent,? is furious that the 43-year-old Grammy winner ignored his wishes and decided to star on a direct competitor of his show, say sources.
And while he?s publicly said ?she?s gonna be amazing on ?Idol,?? an insider said that ?privately, Nick?s gritting his teeth and dead-set against her taking the job.?
When Mariah was deep in delicate negotiations with ?Idol? brass, the insider says Nick tried to ?throw water on the negotiations? by telling a reporter: ?I don?t know if they can afford Mariah Carey…If they gave J.Lo $20 million, they might have to double that!?
Explained the insider: ?Nick was tossing around outrageous salary figures in hopes of pricing Mariah out of the market. Right until the eleventh hour, he was begging her to pass on the offer.
“He was dangling incentives ? diamond jewelry, a luxurious spa vacation, even promising to pay her a one-time ?gift? of $15 million for saying no. Nick wants her to be a stay-at-home mom to their twins, at least until they turn 5. He was even hoping to have another baby, but Mariah has effectively scorched that dream.?
Nick felt that when Mariah went back into the recording studio earlier this year, it would give her the showbiz shot in the arm she needed, according to the insider. ?The truth is that Mariah just misses the limelight too much, and Nick feels betrayed by her choice? the two are hardly talking.?
Meanwhile, Nick loves being the host of his popular show ? ?He feels he needs to prove to the world that he?s more than Mr. Mariah Carey. For Mariah, it?s a huge letdown that she and Nick are at each other?s throats during one of the high points of her career.?
[From The National Enquirer, print and online editions]
Eh. I think part of this may be true ? like, I could see Nick being disappointed that his diva wife is going to be on TV all the time now, and that their family could be negatively affected. But I also think Nick really knows and understands his wife. Nick has turned out to be a good guy, you know ? he seems to really love Mariah, and he seems to be happy enough to let her have the spotlight. I think they?ve made it five years already because Nick is cool with “Operation: Let The Butterfly Soar?.

The first of Mariah Carey’s new American Idol promo pics was released yesterday, although it’s not so much a photo as it is a cartoon. Whoever took the picture appears to have caught her at the exact moment she had a stroke, and whoever was responsible for the editing was clearly drunk and using Microsoft Paint, possibly while wearing sunglasses over an eye patch. Photoshop FAIL.
Camel toe action back in April:

First things first: THIS ^^^^ is the first promotional photo of Mariah Carey for her American Idol judging job. Can you believe this? This is classic Mariah. Photoshopped to a ridiculous level, with an artificial waist, airbrushed skin, and THAT POSE. I do not get the pose. What?s worse is that you know Mariah spends hours practicing her poses, and she decided that this ? with her arms awkwardly bent, half askew ? was the most flattering, the ?thinnest? and the sexiest. This is what it?s going to be like on American Idol. I said it before ? Simon Fuller is going to rue the day that he hired her. Yes, there will be controversies and drama and excitement and maybe they?ll even bring back some viewers ? but will it be worth it if they have to deal with Mariah?s daily tantrums and diva-ness? Speaking of, Page Six had this funny story:
When Mariah Carey was named the newest, $18 million judge on ?American Idol,? staffers at the Fox show began bracing for the dreaded and possibly endless list of diva demands, we?re told. The pop princess is famously demanding on her backstage riders, which have included such necessities as baskets of puppies, furniture with ?no busy patterns,? ?vases of white roses? and a ?tea service for eight.?
She once insisted, ?I don?t do stairs,? while other wild reports have said Carey has previously demanded a chauffeur for her dog, ?confetti shaped like butterflies? as well as 20 white kittens at a London appearance.
But, a source close to Carey says she won?t require anything out of the ordinary on ?Idol,? and adds that the show itself has many of its own branded requirements for stars to use the products of certain sponsors.
?It?s all standard stuff, nothing out of the ordinary,? the source said of Carey?s ?Idol? requirements. ?It?s not like they?ll need to put a new roof on the building. It?s standard lists, whether it?s for water, soda, veggies, snacks. It?s all fairly normal.?
So no puppies this time. Then again, Carey?s tagline on Twitter declares, ?Citizen of the World Dahhhling!?
[From Page Six]
I died at ?confetti shaped like butterflies? but I can?t believe she once demanded kittens. KITTENS!!!!!! A lot of people are comparing/contrasting Mariah to her Idol predecesor, Jennifer Lopez, but I actually think Mariah is going to set her personal diva bar at Britney Spears?s contract with The X Factor. Britney is getting a ton of money, and her rider includes things like 34 Herve Leger dresses, Snickers, Doritos and magnolia blossoms (and no hawt dergs). Surely Mariah can match Britney?s rider, if not easily exceed it.

Here are some new photos of Mariah Carey performing the ?closing concert? at an Austrian ski resort. First, you know Mariah got PAID. Big time. The past week has been all about Mariah and Nick?s vow renewal, which they ended up doing in a paparazzi explosion in Paris. And then from Paris, Mariah flew to Austria to WORK? Of course she got paid. And I?m guessing it was in the eight-figures.
But really, can we talk about Mariah?s cameltoe? Because it?s making me uncomfortable and happy all at the same time. Like, I think I know HOW it happened. Mariah was all, ?You guys, I?m totally going to wear this super-cute red ski outfit while I?m singing, and everyone will see how much weight I?ve lost and it will be amazing!!? And then she decided that underwear would ruin ?the line? of the ski suit, so she went without. Thus, massive cameltoe. At least we know she got a Brazilian before her vow renewal? Too graphic? Good God, just look at her. Don?t tell me that Mariah?s Cameltoe of Doom isn?t the thing that?s too graphic. Mariah needs to let her girl breathe.
Incidentally, beyond the wardrobe malfunction, I think Mariah looks great here. Her hair looks especially awesome.

Last week, we reported how Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were heading to Paris to renew their wedding vows, and here are some photos of the happy couple before and after their renewal ceremony at the Plaza Athenee (right next to the Eiffel Tower) on Friday evening. I know that perhaps I’m wrong to react in a suspicious manner to such a wanton display of excess for two people who are already married — after all, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian also renewed their vows this weekend as well — but it seems like such a famewhore move. Very public vow renewals are also very obviously geared to inform the world just how happy a couple is to be married to each other, and this often seems like a method for a couple to use to convince themselves of their own enduring love. I guess I’m just worried about Mariah and Nick and don’t want them to fall prey to Heidi-and-Seal Syndrome. Then again, Mariah’s always been a glorious diva, and here she takes no exception to this rule because (conveniently) all of the photo agencies knew exactly where to find her and Nick while they did their renewal thing in matching white attire.
Mariah wore a spaghetti-strapped white, gathered gown with a mermaid-like skirt and a black bow around her waist. Her figure looks stunning.
Of course, both Mariah and Nick had to make their own grand, respective displays of PDA for the cameras too.
Here are Mariah and Nick heading to the airport on Sunday to leave Paris and come back home to dem babies. For whatever reason, Mariah is wearing a full-length, flowing black gown while Nick is showing his guns in a white wife beater and matching sweatpants. Such strangeness.

Lovely mom, Mariah Carey was spotted out shopping at the Azzedine Alaia Store in Paris, France on Sautrday afternoon (April 28) topping off her romantic weekend.
The ?All I Want for Christmas is You? signer brought along her twins, Moroccan and Monroe but left her hubby, Nick Cannon after the two renewed their vows on Friday night (April 27), and she tweeted, ?Tonight was an incredible night, I can't express how amazing it was to renew our vows in Paris at the top of the Eiffel tower.?
In career news, the 40-year-old singer recently announced that she will release a greatest hits album titled, The Essential Mariah Carey that will feature popular recordings from her albums in the nineties.
?I wanted to create a collection of some of my favorite songs. Several of them are very big hits and some are more obscure favorites of mine as well as fan faves,? Miss Carey said about the two-disc set.
It will be released on May 8.

In an effort to keep their relationship both romantic and strong, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon renewed their marital vows in Paris on Friday night (April 27).
The 42-year-old Grammy-winning singer looked stunning in a white mermaid frock with a black bow wrapped around her waist as her 31-year-old husband of four years donned a white suit as he once again got down on one knee during the intimate affair.
Upon conclusion of the vows renewal ceremony, Mimi and Nick headed out on the town in the French capital city.
As for their destination, the good-looking couple opted for a swanky dinner at the Eiffel Tower's Le Jules Verne restaurant - during which onlookers tell that the pair appeared to be having a "wonderful time".
The trip to Paris comes just after Cannon was honored at the Common Sense Media Awards for his work with various children's charities.
Of the accolade, Nick posted a message on his website, which reads: "t was truly an honor to be recognized during this year's Common Sense Media Awards in San Francisco last night. Common Sense Media is a non-profit organization that's dedicated to helping parents and teachers assist kids with improving their experience with media and technology."

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have been married for about four years now, and let’s be perfectly honest and admit that most of us didn’t think it would ever last this long, right? Instead, the couple has gone on to become parents to twins Monroe and Moroccan last year, and has perservered through Nick’s recent hospitalization for kidney trouble (even though Mariah sort of did make it all about her). Other than that, they outwardly seem like a devoted married couple and want to show the world just how in love they are, so Mariah and Nick have announced that they are travelling to Paris to renew their marriage vows on Friday. Bad omen?
Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon are to renew their wedding vows in Paris this week.
The couple are to celebrate four years of marriage at a romantic hotel with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop on Friday evening.
While they surprised fans by tying the knot in an intimate ceremony back in 2008, Mariah and Nick have opted for a far more public celebration this time round, inviting the press to capture the romantic moment.
The couple will greet media at La Maison Blanche hotel in the romantic city following their vow renewals.
The singing superstar and America’s Got Talent host wed in secret at a private resort in the Bahamas on April 30, 2008.
They had known each other for only a month after meeting on the set of her music video, and have defied critics with their lasting and clearly devoted relationship.
At the time, the “Heartbreaker” singer said: “We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.’
Their twins Moroccan and Monroe were born on their third wedding anniversary last year.
So with the babies turning one on Monday, the extravagant family are set for a double celebration.
Nick said they had something special planned while speaking told People magazine last week. “We’re taking a break,” he said. “It’s going to be exciting. We’re doing something special and something unique.”
It has been a trying few months for the couple, with Nick suffering kidney failure earlier this year.

While this story seems touching at first, doesn’t the notion of “renewing vows” remind one of … Heidi Klum and Seal? And even if this is an action that Mariah and Nick feel they need to maintain their rock-solid love, why bother announcing it to the world beforehand or evan at all? It just smacks of strangeness to have to expend so much energy on outwardly maintaining a happy marriage, and it makes me wonder whether they are (like nearly every couple) having problems behind closed doors. I can buy that the twins (despite the nannies and the associated diamond showers) have possibly put some stress on the marriage (which is normal), and Nick’s recent health woes may have caused some strain as well. Renewing wedding vows won’t fix those problems, and neither will a public declaration. All they can do is ride these problems out, and hopefully they will. I like Mariah and Nick as a couple, and I’m hoping that the renewal of vows isn’t a bad sign but maybe just a diva stunt.

Mariah Carey covers the May issue of Shape Magazine, showing off her sleek ?Jenny? body and her Photoshopped abs. I?m not saying Mariah doesn?t actually have this body right now – she worked really hard, she lost the weight, and she should be proud of herself. But I just don?t believe her stomach looks exactly like that after gaining ?nearly 70 pounds? by her estimation while pregnant with twins. I?m not judging – I wouldn?t put on a bikini and appear on the cover of a magazine unless I was sure that the Photoshop wizards would take care of everything. As for the interview excerpts? it?s just Mariah being Mariah. She?s full of herself, and delightfully so. Here are some highlights:
Mariah on pregnancy: ?Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I?ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy. But for me, it was like ?Okay, honey, do you have to do everything the hard way???
Weight loss success: ?I used to be able to slim down just by exercising more, but that?s changed. Since having the babies, I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet,? she said.
Weight gain: “I put on around 70lbs, but if you look at photos of me when I was pregnant, you’d say, ‘Wow, she gained 9,000 pounds!? A lot of it was water weight because I pretty much had head-to-toe edema, which is very painful.”
Mariah on her water fears: Mariah Carey is amazed by her love for swimming because she almost drowned when she was six. The pop superstar took to the pool to help shed weight after her twins were born last year and is now swimming and taking 45-minute water aerobics classes four or five times a week. Mariah says, “Swimming is my favorite form of exercise, which is surprising since I almost drowned in the ocean when I was six. It was scary but it didn’t traumatize me or deter me from going in again. My mother just put me back in the water and told me it would be fine. And it was.”
[Via Shape, and other sources]
I think my favorite part is the stuff about her fear of water. Once again, I?m not judging Mariah for being afraid of water and for overcoming her fear. I?m judging her for kissing her own ass.
Anyway, Dem Babies will be one year old on April 30th! That?s exciting – it feels like she was just giving birth to them recently. I forgot that Dem Babies were born in the Taurus sign. Mariah is an Aries – a fire sign with twin bulls. That?s going to be very interesting as those babies grow up, because all three are going to be stubborn as all get-out.
