Poor Mimi. This week news leaked that she had her assistant break the number one rule of wedding etiquette: thou shall not request gifts from people. Especially people that weren’t invited to the wedding. Mariah had her assistant send out a list of her bridal registries to a hundred of her wealthy friends. While this was the epitome of tacky, it was also rather confusing. Mariah’s been telling everyone that would listen that she and new husband Nick Cannon will be having a second – bigger –wedding stateside in the next few months.
However nothing’s been mentioned for about a month – and now it sounds like we know why.
Mariah Carey’s Big Apple wedding might be off, according to sources close to Carey. The pop diva and her husband, Nick Cannon, hoped to have a lavish celebration that would involve millions of dollars and dozens of bridesmaids.
“The small wedding in the Bahamas was nice, but it was not Mariah’s style. The lady loves a spectacle,” said a source familiar with Mariah’s plans. What went wrong? The issue of who was picking up the tab.
“Mariah was willing to pay for the wedding, but the way she hoped to pay for the wedding was through the sale of photos. No one was interested,” the source revealed.

That said, Nick and Mariah are supposedly still super happy, according to the Scoop. And by happy, we mean happily shopping away, which for this couple seems to equal bliss. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen two people focus so much on the acquiring of stuff. Actually, I can – Mariah Carey. She did it enough for two people anyway. Now she’s just got a second person in tow, so it seems a hair less tacky.
Mariah is rolling in dough – there’s no reason she needs to fund a second wedding through picture payments. It sounds like it has more to do with her ego than anything. I’m not saying she should have a second wedding – it’s all about tackiness anyway. But not doing it because no one will buy the pictures is a ridiculous reason.
These magazines have got to be stopped! I am so tired of People et al. offering astronomical amts for kid pics, house pics, wedding pics. Who really cares? If it’s not my wedding, my kid, my house I could give a f $%^ less. I guess People is all maxed out with the money for the Pitt/Jolie twins that they cannot afford much else for the rest of the year. I cancelled my People subsc. I am sick of the stupid kiss ass stories with spoiled celebrities. People, once upon a time, dealt with celebs as well as REAL people doing interesting things. Wish all these mags would go under for their stupidity!
Celebitchy can’t remember when anyone tried so hard to acquire stuff!? 2 words: Star Jones. (double eeeeek!)
She is a diva.
If the paps could hook us up with some graphic honeymoon photos I’d be down with that…wedding photos all look alike to me, just different heads on the tuxes and dresses (hey I’m a dude what do you expect)
This couple is all about over-consuming, pure greed, showing-off, selling-out, and grabbing money. They’ve already got more than they could possibly want, but that’s still not enough.
I’ll try to say something positive… um, at least they’re supporting the economy (and also shares in Hello Kitty).
“…at least they’re supporting the economy (and also shares in Hello Kitty)”
…the JAPANESE economy. Shall we start a rumor that Mimi hates America? Why doth Mimi send no love to American kitsch? 🙂
She’s an unpatriotic, anti-America, main share-holder in Hello Kitty, who defected to Japan. She’s killing the US economy and now the death-knell for American kitsch has been heard. And people were being misled into worrying about rising gas prices… It’s about Hello Kitty, stupid
Thanks, Hippacrat, for setting the record straight
just WHO is she?
i could not name ONE song of hers. oh yea, she’s that gal with the fat thighs.. ugh…
She IS unpatriotic! She doesn’t even wear her flag thong anymore! She now has Hello Kitty on her kitty!
She looks like a fraggle.
Haters ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗
She lacks any taste, this just shows she did not marry for love, but for media spotlight, how tacky. 🙄
The only interesting thing in all of this is how people act like she picked Nick Cannon up on the side of the road, cleaned him off, and took him shopping. She’s definitely rich. And she may very well have more money than him. But he came into the relationship with his own money. He has been in movies (good or bad, he still got paid). He has had 2 albums (good or bad, he still got paid). He’s a producer and a writer. And he has his own show on MTV. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Nobody is giving her grief for having a mid-life crisis and robbing the cradle. I wish people would stop acting like he’s some sort of gigolo.
