A girl's gotta have her priorities, right?

In her first interview since tying the knot with Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey appears on Tuesday's Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat up her recent nuptials—and to reveal that when it comes to the biggest day of your life, it's definitely more important to be the lovely one as opposed to being surrounded by a bunch of silly loved ones.

"Mainly it was people there to do my hair and help me with the dress," Mimi tells Ellen about who attended the quickie marriage last month. "And then three of my friends, and he had three people with him, so it wasn't a lot of people."

Meanwhile, Ellen called in this morning to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show to dish on the diva's exclusive, albeit tardy, appearance...

Having trouble understanding what Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz see in each other? This won’t help.

The betrothed couple blabbered about their beginnings on L.A. radio station STAR 98.7 FM this morning, with Wentz complaining that Ashlee kept him “in the friend zone” for a full year.

Ashlee so completely didn’t notice Pete that, after they had already met, he had to email her a photo of him to jog her memory. (Guess she wasn’t a Fall Out Boy fan back then.)

But things apparently took off quickly after that: “The first time we hung out she flashed me,” Pete says.

“I lifted my dress over my head for him,” Ashlee says. “So it was love at first sight.”

And we bet he’s been wearing her panties ever since.

Nick Cannon took his ring out for a walk today in New York City. From the looks of it, he might need a little help toting the twinkly thing around.

His bride Mariah Carey is said to be performing tonight at the Time 100 event, and we'll bring you all the details as they come in.

“We’re waiting to sort of find a date that’s perfect, where we can actually get married and have a real honeymoon and not have to rush back to work right away.”

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's nuptials might have been a little more planned out than previously believed—at least according to Oprah.

How could the talk-show host tell? Seems like a "Mrs. Cannon" tattoo might have tipped Winfrey off. Mariah reportedly got inked before her April 30 sunset ceremony in the Bahamas.

Only, Oprah says didn't learn about the tat until after Mimi's recent appearance on her show, so she didn't grill Mariah appropriately when she visited a week before the wedding.

"Little did I know I should have paid more attention to the situation," says Winfrey on today's show about being introduced to Mariah's then boyfriend, now husband, Cannon, in the greenroom.

Do you love Mariah Carey? We sure hope so, because today you’re going to be drowning in her.

People magazine is running photos of her wedding to Nick Cannon. She’s reportedly going to be on Oprah today and is scheduled to perform later tonight at Time magazine’s Time 100 party.

Chances are good Mimi’s nuptials (not to mention her prenuptial) will dominate every morning talk show and gossip blog today. Likely your morning DJs are playing Mariah rock-block tributes. Your coworkers may have even subconsciously decided to don pink today in Mariah's honor.

Oh, and if you see a rainbow today, that’s probably her doing, too.

Mariah Carey may seem like she’s on her own sparkly pink planet where unicorns prance freely and rivers flow with rainbow-colored sugar water, but girlfriend’s got some survival instincts tucked in that brain of hers.

Somewhere between her right frontal cortex and wherever it is she stores the names of Sanrio characters, Mariah has squirreled away the term prenup, and, despite speculation, she reportedly has put it to use.

Mariah apparently told a friend that anyone who thinks she and Nick Cannon didn’t have a prenup “is smoking something!"

Sorry, Nick. Better love up that Barbie Dream House while you’re still living in it.

Here doesn't come the bride.

Mariah Carey has pulled out of a scheduled appearance on The View next week, a show spokesman confirms to E! News. According to the singer's website, she had been set to join the morning chatfest on Monday.

And that's all she wrote. But usually when a chart-topping artist has a new album out, her people hit up every relevant talk show for a little face time, a performance, a plug.

And considering Carey's 11th studio album, E=MC2, is only a couple weeks old—and the mainstream recording industry can use all the good PR it can get, what with the massive decline in album sales and all—isn't it odd that the pop superstar has all of a sudden scrapped a spot on the sofa?

It couldn't have anything to do with her having tied the knot on the QT Wednesday in the Bahamas.

Could it?

Jason Biggs got married faster than you can say "warm apple pie."

The American Pie star and his actress fiancée Jenny Mollen eloped last week, tying the knot April 23 in an intimate, private ceremony in Los Angeles, a rep for the couple confirms.

"The newlyweds wanted to take in this moment without any distractions," publicist Lisa Jammal said in a statement Thursday.

Biggs and the missus are also planning a "proper" ceremony for July in Napa, Calif., so that all of their family and friends can share in the celebration.

The couple met in 2007 on the set of My Best Friend's Girl and announced their engagement in January.

"I am in love for the first time," Biggs said in an interview last year.

Aw, even sweeter than pie.

We might not know if Mariah Carey is a missus at the moment, but she is definitely flashing some major new hardware on her ring finger courtesy of Nick Cannon.

A rep for the jeweler Jacob & Co. tells E! News that Cannon forked over $2.5 million for the 17-carat sparkler currently adorning Carey's paw.

“It has a square, emerald-cut fancy light-pink diamond as the center stone that is 10 carats,” the jewelrymaker says. "It is surrounded by 58 pink diamonds, with two half-moon diamonds on each side."

The ring was specially designed for Carat, er, Carey by company namesake Jacob Arabo and is not the same ring that Cannon used when he proposed to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, the source says.

“Both rings were by Jacob & Co., but this ring for Mariah was custom made by Jacob...I can say definitively that this is a completely different ring. They look a little similar, but this [Mariah’s ring] is a one-of-a-kind piece that Cannon worked with Jacob to create."

The source says that Cannon "was in the boutique in the last couple of weeks" to retrieve the bauble.

Now all we have to do is figure out whether Cannon—or the rock-studded ring—is Carey's new best friend.

Mariah Carey was spotted wearing a diamond the size of our fist on her ring finger at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend and holding hands with Nick Cannon at an after-party at Tenjune.

So is she engaged? Her reps won’t say, but that won’t stop us from speculating about what a Mariah wedding would look like:

The ceremony will take place on a rainbow. The bride will wear white and the groom will be dressed as Hello Kitty. Guests will learn their seating assignments by selecting Angel cards, trained butterflies will pass out hors d’oeuvres and everyone will get to take home a mermaid.

If you see carrier doves flying like mad all over L.A. and New York, know that invitations have gone out.
