Mariah Wedding Rumor Steals Spotlight

Mimi sure knows how to make headlines—and not just of the musical variety.
After several days of speculation that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon may have become engaged, it now seems the two may have gotten married.
Call us cynical (or awed by her marketing savvy), but the potential nuptial news just happens to hit the same week that pop chart rival, Madonna, has a new album in stores. Talk about perfect timing.
Word of the wedding comes from Latina.com, where an unnamed source confirms the couple swapped vows on Wednesday in a "very impulsive" small ceremony reportedly attended by just a few close friends, including Da Brat.
A subsequent report from the New York Post pinpoints the location as the home Carey just bought in Eleuthera, the Bahamas. (Her casa is his casa, however, as a Post source claims there was no prenup. "There wasn't time.")
If so—and we're keeping the champagne corked until we get an official confirmation—it would be the second marriage for Mimi (who was previously wed to Tommy Mottola) and the first for Nick (who was engaged to Selita Ebanks last year).
And one of the cleverest spotlight-stealing campaigns since Madonna recently bragged to the world that she pulled Justin Timberlake's pants down to deliver a B-12 shot.

I'm not sure what Mariah is doing marrying Nick Cannon, but she isn't really a petty person that does stuff for attention. But the media is really good at making it seem that way.

Well, if they did marry I give it 2 months tops before the glitter wears off. At least she had everything she needed for the wedding... something old (herself)something new (Nick)something borrowed (her ring)and something blue (the paps for getting no pics).

What is Nick thinking dropping Victoria Secret Model Selita for Mariah who still needs to lose a few pounds.

I Think Mariah Carey Got Married Due To The Fact That There Was A 61% Slump In Her Record Sales For Her New Album E=MC2. I Think It's Pretty Sad She Has To Pull A Stunt Like This To Boast Sales For Her Album. She's Had A Good Ride And Was One Of The Best Singers Of Her Time. Her Album Just Isn't As Good As The Emancipation Of Mimi or Her Previous Albums.

If MC wants to get married for whatever reason, what business is it for us to speculate on that reason? Please tell me what man would not bed and wed her? Please tell me what woman wouldn't do the same. MC is hot and Nick is fine too. If she got enough game to pull a younger man, so what? Besides all you haters, the jewelry company that sold Nick the ring last month said it is not the same ring and that MC's ring is a one of a kind. People please get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She can sing but she's an attention 'ho...I loved the Emancipation of Mimi...E=MC2 not so much...I guess she can't handle the competition from Madonna...whatever.

He just in for the money and She's old trying to stay in the game. She can't be on two different lifestyles. watch out girl its to big of a world for you out here. you won't survive the other side of your world. because the other side thinks to small. we all know you've been waxing that big upper lip. and your lips don't have the color to look as good as selita. now theres a real woman right there. step down and stay there.

There is no way that Mariah married Nick Cannon. Knowing how Mariah feels about marriage, proves what a fake story this is. I am sure it has something to do with Ashton Kutcher's reality show messing with the papparrazi (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).
