Last week, we got to see Mariah Carey’s epic, naked pregnancy photo on the cover of Life & Style. Many criticized Mariah for giving (selling?) the photos of L&S, one of the most budget tabloids, but considering she also gave L&S the exclusive on the babies’ genders, I think Mariah probably has an existing relationship with someone at the mag or something. Anyway, this week’s gem comes via the British OK! Magazine – even more naked pregnant photos, this time with Nick feeling up his lady. Oh, Mariah. I LOVE YOU.
There are a few excerpts from the OK! Mag piece, and of course it’s all Mariah:
Mariah says: “You can tell the personalities a bit. 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.”
[From OK! Mag UK via Dlisted]
Look, I know some of you might think these photos are cheesy and gross and weird and creepy and all kinds of wrong, but you know what? It’s Mariah, bitches. She wants us to celebrate her love and her babies and her life, and I for one am celebrating. She’s magnificent. Budget and magnificent.
Photos courtesy of OK! Magazine UK, Life & Style, and MariahJournal.
Is that really the headline OK! chose? “I wish these babies would get off my bladder”?!
Soft porn. If my 7 year old walked by the magazine rack and saw Nick with a handful of Mariah’s Tata’s how ould that be explained? Not tasetful to me. TMI
LMAO!
She is looking very muppet-y lately.
This shoot could be lovely, but it gets a bit – ugh and eye roll. You know?
It’s sweet..if they were private photos. It seems like an extremely personal thing to share with the world. I guess I just don’t get it…..
That first picture lol omg!
A pregnant woman is a thing of beauty and the pictures are beautiful.
However, I don’t like the thought of it being so public, especially front cover (my personal opinion)- this should really be intimate pictures for family enjoyment.
For the public maybe PG Rated pictures would have been a better choice (as well as the heading)
Oh god, he really has her name tattooed on her back?
The worst part about the entire thing is WTF is going on with her bottom lip?!
I am a liberal person, but that cover shot is beyond tacky. He’s fondling her boobs. I couldn’t even believe it when I saw the cover today. The rest of the photos seem fine, but that cover…Jesus.
Fromage. One day their children will be mortified! These should have remained private imo.
This is personal – VERY personal. If she weren’t looking at the camera and if his hands weren’t all over her boobs – maybe – but come on.
Uh. Hahahahahahahahaha. Oh my. The first pic looks like his right hand is going to claw her boob off. Third pic down… what is he doing? Giving her an exam? Lotsa cheese. I think we might need some wine to go with it.
Very cheesy, but, wow, does she look happy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this happy and contented. Heh, wait til the 2AM feeding with twins!
we need a third/fourth/fifth/gazillionth option beyond awesome or cheesy. how about unnecessary? classless? overkill? nick and mariah can celebrate the pregnancy and her body doing the magnificent work of growing two babies IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOME. putting it on the cover of a magazine for all the world to see is self-promotion taken to a new low.
No…just no. Why is it ok for him to grope her lady lumps on a COVER (or anywhere??)just because she’s pregnant? Who wants to see that? The whole naked pregnant lady = art has just gotten out of hand. Tacky.
Gross and tasteless. Just like the couple. I find them both avaricious, vapid and mindless. Idk, maybe it was the whole Gaddafi thing.
Hey! She’s actually letting him touch her in public! LOL Good for her. They are uber-cheesy, and while these pictures might not be something I would do…go for it! Although..in that one picture..I’m not sure her hair is long enough to cover her boob. Thank the gods for photoshop.
Not as cheesy as the giant Mariah tattoo he has on his back. Wish she would have the babies already, I am so over her being pregnant.
@Brittany she’s always had a full bottom lip and when you’re pregnant sometimes your lips get larger. Mine did.
As far as these pics go, I think they would be more beautiful if she had a sheer robe of some sort covering her lady bits and allowed her belly to be exposed. The whole naked thing is a little much and I don’t really want to see him naked either. Pregnancy is beautiful and I’m happy for them both but I am not really feeling these pics.
the pics are beautiful, but should remain private.
I like Mariah, but this should have been kept for the personal archives. The ones last week were OK, but this wasn’t necessary. She said she did it for the fans but we got that ‘gift’ last week. This is attention seeking now Mimi. Nick published the letter he wrote to his unborn twins yesterday, I mean seriously?? I understand the excitement but that should be personal from him to his children. That’s a very tender moment between father and child that he shared with a bunch of stranger, it’s like buying a newspaper and having someone read through it first.
Sooooo gross
What is that dark stripe of pigment that pregnant women get on their bellies called? Whatever it is I am sick of seeing Mariah’s. Nick is working hard for the privilege of living in Mimi’s Hello Kitty castle.
Yeah the nudity doesn’t bother me but the photos are all kinds of cheesy, along with the tit grab and the Bladder headline, it reminds me of those horrid glamour shot profiles from 1977 where someone has an Afro.
OH – Hell to the NO! LMAO! I get it – it’s Mariah – all kinds of wrong and budget – holy crap she is a cheeseball. Agree with the comments – keep it private – we don’t need to see Nick feelin’ up your ladyparts – I don’t give a crap if you’re preggers or not.
Tacky imo.
LMAO! She had Nick with her back to the camera so that the entire world knows he has a Mariah tattoo on his back. We know! He’s stamped for life!
On a more serious note, I agree: the pictures may be cute and such but only for private use. She’s gross for going public with them.
Also, Britney scored Harper’s Bazaar and all Mimi could do was freaking OK! (UK no less) and Life & Style?! Oh, how the greats have fallen :))))
My bad, I meant, with “HIS back”. Same difference, he’s still her little bitch…
Yeah it’s soft porn but hey, it’s Mariah. She can.
these would be found on awkwardfamilyphotos.com.
I blame Demi Moore for this! 🙂
If only she had never done that cover for Vanity Fair. When pregnant with Rumor… we would not be seeing pregnant naked Mariah.
Plus these Mariah photo’s have to be a couple months old.
I saw those clips of Mariah on Dlist when she was hawking her goods on Home Shopping. And girl was huge. Lots of weigh gain. Big fleshy face.
But it is Mariah and she has spent the last decade desperately showing off too much skin. So none of these photo’s are shocking.
Tackey!
cheesy you say?
with mariah?
oh, ho-ho, my friends…you just wait. the cheesefest-ivities have only YET to begun. just you wait.
i can’t wait for the 1st photos with baby girl cannon dressed entirely in a ‘hello kitty’ ensemble.
oh joy. 😉
morons
tacky, and they would be tacky whether she was pregnant or not, so….FAIL.
They picked the names out when they first MET?! Now I’m even more exited how they’ve chosen to call them… Gosh.
why doesn’t she look at him in any of the pictures? Makes them seem less tender more heres me and my sperm donor nekkid!
Cheesy oversharing. I expect no less!!! Would I ever do such a thing? No, but I’m also not naming my baby Princess Butterfly Blueberry Buttercup Carey Cannon, and you KNOW that’s what she’s going to do.
IMO, all these comments about the nudity are really borderline – close to suggesting it’s OK to have non-pregnant nudity, but we’re uncomfortable with a big belly. Shots of topless women with man hands covering boobies have been common ever since that Janet Jackson Rolling Stone in the 90’s. And the hands here belong to the woman’s husband, for pete’s sake. What’s so wrong about that?
I can tolerate Mariah, but I have to agree that this is the wrong venue for such photos. If I were a friend of Mariah and I happened to be leafing through her photos and saw these, I would think they are sweet; however, my first reaction when I saw these on the cover of the tabloid was to laugh.
pretty sure at fye a dvd with a naked boob grab cover would be covered up…why is this allowed to be shown???
Another tabloid 1st Lies and Style now OK.She is making the Kardashians look classy.
The concept of pregnancy is beautiful. Imagining a new life developing in the womb is inspiring. These are all mental images…..which is where the “art” should stay.
@AngelMay that line is called the Linea Negra, many women get it from the hormones the body produces during pregnancy.
@TQB The man who was cupping Janet Jackson’s breasts in that photo shoot was her husband’s at the time.
Horrible FAIL!!! Why does every celeb mom to be feels the need to pull a Demi? Problem is, Demi was actually gorgeous and didn’t look like the Cowardly Lion… my eyes me eyes >_<
I live in Canada, and have been looking for this week’s Life & Style…can’t even find it on the rack in grocery stores!! Now i know why haha…it really IS soft core porn if stores won’t even put it on their racks!
Good heavens, what’s up with her jaw and lower lip?
I like the pics, but you guys are probably right that it’s too personal to show in public.
Eye rape
AWFUL!! Enough with the naked pregnant people! I was pregnant, and I kept my freakin clothes on. The way he’s smashing her tits on the cover of a magazine is just disturbing, that belongs someplace other than a grocery store magazine rack. BLECH!
@jezi, great, so the only difference here is the pregnant belly beneath the boobs. See what I mean?
Here’s the thing…
The pics are BAD…
Bad lighting…
Bad composition…
Bad backgrounds…
Bad makeup…
Bad magazine choice to showcase photos…
Just…BAD!!!
I wouldn’t mind ANY of this if say, the skills of an Annie Liebowitz and a publication like “Vanity Fair” had been behind this…
Alas…that was NOT the case…
@TQB pretty much 😉
Ugh! I wish I hadn’t seen that. This might be fine as pics for themselves privately, but to release these to the public is just tacky.
Hang on – can anyone in the UK tell me what is happening with Rav and Chantelle? “Baby shock” What??
Or is it a stupid OK fake-out?
The third pic looks as if Nick is nursing.
I’m pretty liberal. I get that Mariah thinks she is the only woman ever to be pregnant at the moment because she waited so long.
I had no problem with the Life and Style photos. I thought Demi Moore showed more in the 90s BUT the ones with the dude feeling her up are bordering on pornographic. I don’t need to see that and I sure as hell don’t want a child seeing those.
Would they put that on the cover if she weren’t pregnant? Probably not, so why do it now?
@Tuatara – I was also wondering about the baby shock! And the”bitter battle” between Katie Price & Katie Piper. Scandalous!
@TQB Janet had pants on, these are fully-nude and he is doing more than touching her boobs.
Oh god ladies reading your comments makes me realize how biased I am for Mariah. You are all correct I am sure – this is total inappropriate overkill. But the thing is…. I LOVE it and I wouldn’t have my dear princess Mimi any other way. Also, she does look very happy which I love to see. And it looks like young Mr. Cannon is just worshipping at her butterfly shrine.
Lovely lovely
Cmon guys ITS MARIAH CAREY!!!
What’d ya expect?
I love it
“Enough with the naked pregnant people! I was pregnant, and I kept my freakin clothes on”
@ jennifer: thanks for the laugh!
IMHO Mariah was never a stunner and now much less… I know I know “she’s pregnant, give her a break…”
Original kate: Too funny! For some reason famous = stupid.
Why is she posing nude for Ok! or Life and Style? I mean couldn’t she do a more classier Mag? I mean it’s not like she is some random reality star. She’s Mariah Carey, she could do better.
oh please!!!!!! Give me a break!!
Why don’t they just shoot a sex video for us? They’re about thisclose to it.
Worst!
I guess you can’t blame her for wanting some insurance against “pregger-faker” conspiracy theorists. . .
Well played, Mariah. Well played.
Ever since Michael K. on Dlisted said that the first photo looks like Nick is sticking the tip in I haven’t been able to look at them since.
I wonder if People Magazine will get the up close photo of the Episiotomy or C Section.
This is not beautiful. It is a disgusting display & I don’t care who is doing it. YUCK!!
There is nothing tasteful about these pics. Nothing. Why exploit yourself in this way? Oh I remember, cause I’m a big attention whore.
GROOOOSSSSSSSS.keep that stuff to yourself!man is nick p-whipped or what
GROOOOSSSSSSSS.keep that stuff to yourself!man is nick p-whipped or what
Yes I do think these photos are unnecessary – what is she trying to prove – that even with that elephant belly she is still sexy? yuk – those phots are indeed cheesy, gross and way toooooo much information. Mariah – what happens at home should stay at home!
I’m sorry, but words do not exist for the total gross-out this is. Not public material. Just not. I loathe her. She’s every bit as self-centered, obnoxious, and stupid as Goopy yet gets no hate for it. I’d take Goopy over this crap-fest, really.
oh , leave her alone, a naked pregnant woman, her husband holding her tatas, there is more offensive/gross/outrageous things in this world.
Ugh, the whole photoshoot is one big eyeroll. Only things missing were some pictures of butterflys and lambs.
Ahh, the miracle of life and young love.
Heh, heh. This reminds me of “Awkward family photos”. This pic will be on there someday!
The pics are corny AND trashy; and in addition to pregnancy weight, Mariah seems to be using fillers and doesn’t look pretty or youthful; she looks like a less-ugly version of Tiny. None-the-less, good luck to all of them.
I am embarrassed for her !!!
I’m going to say that 99% of all “artsy” pregnancy photos–from anyone–are tacky. If one more person on my fb posts half naked pictures of themselves pregnant…Oy. It’s too much for public sharing.
Look, I get that you are excited about your belly, and think it’s beautiful, etc. I’m sure it is. To you. So take them and keep them and look at them yourselves. But no one else wants you to share. Gratuitous body pics are gratuitous body pics, and they are obnoxious. Always and from everybody. You aren’t some exception to this rule just because you are knocked up…
What’s the saying? The miracle of birth occurs for the 5 billionth time…
Did anyone exactly think that Mariah Carey would spend all of her pregnancy out of the spotlight at home knitting booties? This woman loves the attention, just wait until the babies are born. This is only the begining
not soft core porn in the sllightest I think it’s beautiful. yeah the headline Ok Chose was a joke but it’s something most pregnant women have thought at one point or another when their close to their due date as Mariah is.
OVER. THE. TOP. But that’s Mi Mi. Eh, what ya gonna do?
The cover shot w/ the boob grab looks like he’s hitting it from the back, and the crouched one looks like he’s nursing her tit. Really, you don’t have to be conservative to not want to see that stuff.
Some of the ugliest pics I’ve ever seen, she is beyond tacky!
WHY?????,are they secretly broke or something???
@Cali
THAT’s it!!! The cowardly lion! THAT’s what she looks like now…thank you. It was bugging me.
Demi Moore wasn’t the first to doo this Melissa Gilbert was in 1989. as I’ve said before give Mariah & Nick a break they wanted to document this for their fans and also break the menaughtany of her being on best rest until the twins are born. Nick has had that tattoo of her Name on his back since they got married like she has a butterfly on her talebone. Mariah has said being pregnant makes her feel more comfident and secure in her own skin. common sense tells us if you don’t like it don’t look it’s not the 50’s & 60’s anymore when you weren’t even allowed to say the p word in print or on telvision. the photographer who took the pictures has been photographing her for a decade she trusts him and he did a wonderful job considering she can only stand up for a few minutes at a time because of her feet being so swollen from the pregnancy never mind the beautiful big belly in the way nuturing the twins as they grow within her.
Blech. No one wants to see you and your husband naked and touching on each other unless it’s a porn film. Pregnant or not, these are inappropriate photos for an internationally published magazine.
courtney: Tailbone-literally the bone that would be a human tail if we didn’t absorb ours in the uterus. Monotony. Though “menaughtany” is a brilliant creative spelling job.
I think she looks drunk in the top pic.
You see how morals are changing in the world. I can’t imagine what the next 20 years will bring, outright humping on magazine covers? At least in these pics nothing is really showing other than the pregnant part.
Wow, girl really has ‘pregnancy face’ doesn’t she. Poor thing. Good thing once the babies arrive things will go back to normal for her.
And yeah I don’t care who is posing for these pics, they are awful.
Embarrassing. To look at, gross, they look like they are having sex. Not cool.
Only in America would this cover be offensive. She has a lovely pregnant body adored by her husband. Its not like you are seeing her hoo-ha or her tits.
These images are really not ok. Intimate images don’t belong on/in magazines situated next to the candy stands in stores.
But I am glad OK airbrushed out her stretch marks.
MY GOD the levels of FAKERY are astounding and the face work isn’t doing well with the pregnancy is it Mimi? Nick looks like her “young slave boy” and NOT an expectant father…there I said it.
Nope…sorry after further review somebody should be fired for this.
VOM!
Ok that’s just gross. Put it/them away.
I’m happy for these two because they’re so very obviously happy together, but I agree that these shots are much too intimate for worldwide publication and that one day their kids will be mortified by them! 🙂
Her nose really spread.
@coffeetalk, you forgot the homonym homicide Courtney commits on the daily.
Ugh, I am SO over this whole “artistic” pregnancy photo trend.
My mother would make fun of me for the rest of my life if I did this. Who thought this was a good idea?
f off all of you for critizing her and Demi wasn’t the first star to do this Melissa Gilbert was a couple of years before. personally I think these pictures are beautiful leave Mariah & Nick alone
I had a serious case of baby fever. Then I saw these pictures and it totally went away. Thanks guys!
I don’t think the negative comments are about a pregnant woman being photographed. She is not the first nor the last.
the pictures are not beautiful within themselves. And that is the problem. It makes me think this was the first time Nick got to touch her. Mirah has always seemed asexual to me. Not gay or anything but I never could picture her in an sexual way with Nick. It hurts my head to think about it.
AND I had forgotten he had that huge tat of her name across his shoulder blades. That would be a crazy whatever to get off.
There aren’t enough “eeeww”s in the world.
Tacky. Very tacky.
I’m getting sick of seeing every celeb naked once they get pregnant. I think pregnant women are beautiful but I’m just burnt out on it all.
I took some maternity pictures but I kept my clothes on. They looked better than these. These look like they were taken at the mall.
In the picture with Nick’s back to the camera it looks like he is reaching up there to take them out himself! haha.
I’ve always thought she looked like a monkey. But I see the resemblence to the cowardly lion as well here!
Humdei lalala lke ur words..wht da fck man dis.pics luks lke ma bitch mom going 2 fck m.. N i say hey mom i dnt wanna fck who’s retired… Only hot chicks wid gud pussy… Haha…
Cheese and rice. This might be the most tasteless thing I’ve ever seen. Definitely in the top five.
Hm…the more I look at these photos, the more disturbing they seem. I get the whole “I’m a goddess, worship me” thing she has going, but that pic with her head at an angle is downright creepy. Nick is a parent here too, can’t he even smile and look at the camera for one of these??
It’s sex-positive in an unusual way, and for super-duper-mass media, that’s impressive. I also wonder why Nick couldn’t look at the camera at least once though. That is a little weird, or awkward. Not creepy though.
Agreed, these should be private photos. A few I can see being okay to share publicly, but otherwise, no no no. She’s definitely one of my fave singers, so hot, but her personal style has always been a bit on the garish side, over the top I’d say.
Sorry but I think that first pic of the cover is disgusting. Those poor babies, with Daddy earning his name. Not that she is any better for doing it and I think this has been the longest pregnancy ever, whatever.
Cosign with the eye rape comment. Too funny!
So I think this is kind of TMI as well, but I also think it’s weird that there wasn’t this outcry about that creepy True Blood Rolling Stone cover. Not to be all “get off my lawn” about it, but don’t you think it’s weird that two naked guys + one naked women, positioned in a very sexual way and drenched in blood (drenched in blood, ffs!) are perfectly fine and even hot, but a (naked) husband and his pregnant wife are “gross” “TMI” “not enough ew in the world”?
I hav always loved her music so much but her personality disgust me some bit. She has always been a bitch dat couldn’t control her fame. We’ll I guess everyone couldnt be like Celine Dion and other great and responsible world famous artist. She is jst been a bitch and dats my personal opinion anyway.
There’s nothing wrong with seeing a pregnant belly, but OMG they took the intimacy thing a little too far. The shot with has hands on her boobs is just taking it too far. I wish them all the luck in the world, but I’m wondering why she has been pregnant for about 15 months.
Gross. I don’t like the idea of this kind of shoot. It’s inappropriate.
I’d do it! So I don’t mind it! And I’m warming to Mariah – she seems a lot happier and chilled since she met Nick.
Are we SURE this isn’t TINY and TI?? LOL!!!
lets blame the art director-well consider that they had to block out all of Mariah’s body except her huge belly and face-obviously she had a lot of hair extensions in to cover her neck and shoulders and the poses are forced and awkward because of trying to get a photo that doesn’t show her ginormous arse and tree trunk legs-she was a good 60 lbs over weight when she got pregnant and so I’m sure it was an art directors nightmare-hence no one talented or famous was going to do it like with Demi or Claudia.The black fuzzy background was for the photoshop team to have some room to crop off and smooth out all her flab-the art director obviously did the best he could under the circumstances. Maraih has always acted like a molested 12 year old princess diva living in unicorn land and of course she had to push her huge cow belly in with the ranks of other celebrities-it all reeks of being a jealous copycat-like when her and J-Lo had the “who can show more skin on the red carpet” contest -then Glitter flopped and she had a poor me sympathy sponge “nervous breakdown”. Mariah seems to see what other celebrities get attention for and go drooling after it-I mean really the public has been telling Mariah to quit sausaging herself into the porno prom dresses for a few years now -that a 42 year old overweight pop star isn’t going to sale records based on strip videos anymore-if Maraih really thought she was selling CD’s based on her voice why did they all come attached to soft porn videos and posters and why when she rehashed her Xmas album she used a 10 year old composite photoshop image of herself on the cover? If she has made soo much money why does she keep whoring herself out to the point people tell her to put her clothes on-really quite embarrassing for everyone
This looks awful!!!!!!!!
nick looks like a boy whos trying to molest a willing pregnant woman!lmao!
Good God NO.
I found these to be very odd. The pic where only his back is shown with her name tattooed across his back?? It’s like he’s been branded and is her property, the sperm donor. Distasteful and very, very odd. Could have been done alot better. I’m still shaking my head….
they are both gorgeous, him especially & we all know their kids will be beautiful also, but please, really?? naked on naked?? not necessary guys… lol
Oh my good that is really in the front cover? That doesn’t look good for me. It could be nice if they keep it a private photos. I honestly doesn’t like the guy looks immature eww!
