How can you not talk about pregnancy and babies
After Nick's tweet yesterday, internet went wild .  Today, Mariah's rep issued a statement dismissing labor reports (mostly to radios as of now).  The funniest part is the following: "Carey's rep insists the dad-to-be has got nothing to worry about - the singer is not in labor".  Seriously, I think Nick will be the first one to know what happens!

None of us fans, sites, blogs are Mariah's publicist!
Fans can speculated all they want and websites can post all they find, only thing we will know for sure is going to come from Mariah herself (when you closely pay attention to the various tweets or retweets) or her PR (and evenyually Nick when he's not joking around or misleading infos on purpose for the paps ).  I know we are all absolutely excited in this flantastic time in Mariah's life, but patience is a virtue

Nicki Minaj sents Mariah an invitation for a cameo role in her new video

Nicki Minaj has asked every star she raps about in new song Girls Fall Like Dominoes to be in the video.

Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Grace Jones, Mariah Carey, the Kardashians, Ciara and Donatella Versace are all mentioned and have received an invitation for a cameo role.

A source said: "There's every chance the big names will oblige. Everyone loves Nicki. It's already causing a stir in various camps."

Nicki tweeted about her big plan this week, saying: "Two questions: How many divas did I name in Girls Fall Like Dominoes' and who should make a cameo in the video?"

The star with the incredible rear squeezed the names into just a few verses.

She raps: "When I'm in Miami I'm with Kourtney, Kim and Khloe, and when I'm in the A I'm with Ciara or it's Keri; I'm feeling like a diva and I hit Mariah Carey, I'm in the UK, I'ma see M.I.A.

"If I just wanna talk I'ma hit up Monique, if I need a bad bitch Angelina Jolie.

"Material Girls like Madonna model for Donatella, she look just like Rihanna; anyway yo, hit up Grace Jones and tell her I said strange.

"I'm out in Paris mothaf***a with Beyonce."

Heroes note: Would be great, but obviously Mariah can't shoot a video now, or they already shot a lil' something at her house.....

I'm stressed out for Nick
Really, he must be so stressed out, hopefully he will be there for the birth of the babies.
Doctors can do as much as they can to control contractions, but when it's time....
Nick tweeted: "On a plane back to NY. Praying Dem Babies wait for DADDY to come back b4 they pop out!"
Posted on March 29
  I'll stop posting Mariah's pregnancy pictures and infos
Since I posted the picture and infos Mariah (and Nick) shared, it seems a robot sends baby and pregnancy e-mails

Dem Babies will come when the doctors are ready to make them come, until then please mister robots stop spamming my e-mail box.

Nick apologizes (once again)
I guess men aren't fully aware of what happens with pregnant woman who are close to give birth (nor do women who never gave birth).  Nick once again needed to apologize, this time for thinking Mariah was being over dramatic when she asked to be rushed to the hospital.  Mariah was really in labor and the doctors controlled the contractions for some lung development of the babies who seems to weight about 5 pound each.  Poor Mariah, she's on total bed rest now.

I think next time Mariah will have contractions, Nick will now be the first one rushing to the hospital

      Mariah Carey’s First Time Mother Nerves
Finally nearing the end of her pregnancy, Mariah Carey has been forced to slow down to ensure the safe arrival of her long-awaited twins. “Mariah has found the last eight weeks of her pregnancy quite hard,” a source close to the singer tells OK! in the new issue — on sale everywhere now! “She’s constantly tired, she’s been confined to her bed often and she hasn’t been able to work.”

With so much time on her hands, Mariah, 41, is filled with anxiety, despite husband Nick Cannon’s reassurances. She has shelved her desire for a natural birth in favor of a doctor-recommended C-section, a second pal of the superstar tells OK!: “Mariah knows that a lot can go wrong during the delivery, and while she is trying to think positive and patiently follow doctors’ orders, she can’t help but have fears that something will go wrong.”

Even though “Nick’s been amazing at taking care of her,” according to the source, Mariah knows their nearly three-year marriage will face a big test when their son and daughter arrive. “Nick is 11 years younger — and at an age where he loves to hang out,” says another insider. “With babies in the house, there are going to be a lot of changes.”

Pick up this week's issue of OK!

Simon Cowell: "Mariah should do a Broadway show"
Pat Cerasaro: Can you confirm Mariah Carey as a judge on X FACTOR?

Simon Cowell: She can't do it now because she is pregnant, but we think we may have a role for her on the live shows - which she is excited about and I am excited about. And, I adore Mariah - I spent a couple of hours with her a week or so ago. She is always great company because, again - like Andrew - she is ambitious and she wants to be on this show. I am happy to find a role for her on X FACTOR.

Pat Cerasaro: She is rumored to be doing a Broadway Christmas show. Do you think it's time for Mariah to take on Broadway?

Simon Cowell: Yeah. One hundred percent. I mean, I've always been a massive fan of hers as an artist, and, now, I've gotten to know her well. She's a great person - she really is. I adore her.

"Nick, stop effing (fucking) joking"
Nick was really, really insensitive when he joked about Mariah's pain and big belly and everyone can understand why Mariah was mad. C'mon man, we know you're a comedian and a jokster but no one laughs of a pregnant wife.  "Nick! stop effing (fucking) joking"  well said Mariah!!!!

No Mariah on Japanese charity disc?
Many e-mails came in asking why Mariah will not be featured on the Universal album to raise funds for victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.  It's true Mariah has always been involved in such great projects and this time it's a Universal release with their "biggest" artists, except maybe for U2 who are under Live Nation. 

Or Mariah is too tired for obvious reasons, or maybe she will be confirmed later, or "they" already don't count her in anymore as a Universal artist.....

Mariah on X-Factor... Yes, No, Yes....
The Mirror UK, reports Mariah might join X-Factor

In the latest PEOPLE magazine Simon Cowell said : "After Mariah Carey has her babies, there might be a role for her during the live shows"

Also, this morning when Nick and Perez were doing their usual call, Nick told him that Simon came over to his house last week to talk to Mariah about X-Factor. He said she told Simon because she has babies to raise (they will be her main focus/priority) and is working on music, she doesn't want to be a judge. But, she'd like to be involved with the show, so they are trying to workout her role. And, Nicki Minaj is really being considered for the show.

Many questions and speculations about Mariah going back to Sony (still unconfirmed)
All little Mottolas are going nuts, IF Mariah goes back to Sony, don't expect her to go back to the person she was there under Tommy.  Same clothes, same look, same personality, same kind of sound.  We don't want that for her, do we?????  The 90's Mariah will not come back, deal with it, take it or leave it!

The advantage of her going back to Sony, would be way better international promotion and why not the release of unreleased tracks still in the vault.

Tidbits
I was a bit out of checking the infos as I was really affected by Nate Dogg passing away.  A project was about to be launched to help pay the bills of the rehab center he was in since a few years.  But like 2Pac said "Life goes on"!

- DJ Clue talks about working with Mariah:  "when we workin...i'm giving u a month off after u have the babies..then we're back at it!", and Mariah replied:
"exactly! Let's go!!!!"
- Due to work, Nick couldn't attend Mariah's ultrasound a few days ago and he feels bad.
- Really cute, Nick is packing the hospital bag for Mariah.
- And finally, Nick will take a few weeks off of work.

Mariah back to Sony (with LA Reid)?
Here’s LA Reid’s farewell letter to his staff at DefJam. Sources tell me he’s heading to Sony Music–and of course “X Factor”– come this summer. And you heard this here first too: Mariah Carey will join him and Doug Morris back at Sony in 2012. She has one album left on her UMG contract, and she’ll release it before the end of the year. First she has to release those twins, due in two to three weeks.

“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can
understand.” -Colin Powell

To my Island Def Jam family:

After much consideration, I have decided to leave my position as Chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group. I have always thrived on growth and the next great challenge, and I look forward with much enthusiasm to what the future holds.

I am extremely proud of our beautiful roster and all we have accomplished in my seven years with IDJ.  We continue to have incredible success together with today’s most phenomenal superstars – Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Bon Jovi, Jennifer  Lopez, Ne-Yo, Rick Ross, The Killers, The-Dream, Chrisette Michele, Jeezy and Ludacris to name a few.

I want to thank all of you for your amazing contributions.

With Warm Regards -
LA

Jasmine at the baby shower
I was more than ready to trip across the Atlantic to LA for 2 hours- yes really-I was going for a 2 hour function- Mariah Carey’s baby-shower. I spent the last few weeks talking myself down from the trip with the usual logic ‘’its very extravagant for a 2 hour function’’, ‘’you cant really afford to act live a diva swanning constantly across the Atlantic’’, ‘’there are plenty of other festive moments you can share with your mate once the twins arrive’’. Did any of it help keep my ass here? Nope. I only needed the tiniest of persuading and I was on that plane faster than Usain Bolt.

On the Saturday Mariah had a few close girl friends over at her crib where we caught up over plates of her delicious Italian pasta dinner, I tried to feel the twins kicking by holding Mrs C’s belly for a while, we relaxed in the pool and played with the latest additions to the Carey-Cannon household- 2 new female puppies called Jill E. Beans and Sweetie Pie. The significance of the 2 babies that were born merely days earlier was not lost on us all. This is a fertile house!

The following day we made our way up to the uber plush Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills where Mariah’s press and management teams had organised a vision of love LOL! The rooftop overlooking the city had been transformed into a blue and pink themed cosy mirage. Candles everywhere, 2 giant stuffed giraffes and a stuffed zebra, pink and blue cupcakes, balloons, and flowers, a 6 foot long table laden down with gifts from us all and a few from some very famous friends that I spotted, gourmet fast food, cocktails and of course-angel champagne for the guests. Mariah and Nick both had a mix of family members and friends in the place.

I was surprised to see that unlike the baby-showers I’m used to attending ‘’IN ENGLAND’’ (private Cannon joke!), where its just the mum-to-be and her mates lounging around casually in tracksuits playing baby games and opening gifts, this was an all sexes welcome very sophisticated soiree where we all rejoiced in the pending arrival of the 2 new babies and the joy of their excited parents.

Mariah’s tummy is pretty big right now so even though she looked stunning, we insisted she lay back on a plush white chaise lounge (as if she needed convincing!), and her guests took turns in greeting and catching up with her. MC was dressed in a floor length colourful Roberto Cavalli dress with her mermaid like hair cascading down her back. She may be in the most uncomfortable pregnancy months, going through backache and the such but she will always get it together and look her absolute best. Nick wore a 3-piece suit, which reflected the pink and blue theme.

As soon as we arrived American idol star and music impresario Randy Jackson and artist manager Chris Lighty were holding court, its always fabulous to catch up with BET Television head Stephen Hill (he was once an MTV bod like moi). Multi media maven for TV, Radio and internet B Scott was looking ultra fabulous, New York’s not to be messed with publicist Marvet Britto was bubbly and excited. Actress Phylicia Rashard (The Cosy Show) was adorable whilst catching up with us all,but I was most excited to spot in a corner, by himself, looking a little lost- Nick’s work colleague and my idol Piers Morgan!. I love this man!

I returned to check on my girl and ensure she was good and hung out with the 2 grandmas’ to be for a while. Both Mariah and Nicks mothers were in attendance looking lovely and graceful, Mariah’s in blue, Nicks in pinky peach.

As the night wore down to a close, the Cannon’s took the mic to thank their guests and make little, cute speeches about impending parenthood, next video and film director Brett Ratner took the mic and made a really funny speech after which we were all handed a goody-bag full of very festive Mariahisms to take home. A great moment to cherish for life. Now those twins just need to hurry and arrive when they’re ready cos auntie Jasmine has a list of things to teach them- including the thesis of rainbows, butterflies and swimming in the ocean as well as the fact that I will be reading stories to them all night long! Their English accent is gonna be pipper than their mom’s!

LA Reid Leaving DefJam to Judge “X Factor” and (Probably) Become Sony Music Titan
Here’s the real deal: Reid leaves Universal Music Group tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow! It’s all been in the works for weeks. And then, right after Doug Morris takes over Sony Music on July 1st, Reid will follow him there. The word is that Reid will assume a new spot right under Morris, running one or more of the labels. He will not only replace Barry Weiss, who ran the RCA/J group, but will have lots more power than that. This is an amazing story, really, since Reid left running Arista Records — part of that RCA group– a few scant years ago to run Island DefJam for Universal. He returns triumphant, and a judge as well. Maybe they’ll have to call him “Your Honor.” Reid will judge “X Factor” with Simon Cowell and two ladies who have not been named. One of them could be Paula Abdul. One of them could be Janet Jackson– remember I said this first– who has no record company affiliation and is an actress who knows the camera. In the meantime, Reid’s departure from DefJam leaves a big hole for artists like Mariah Carey, who have come to depend on him. The funniest scenario would be Mariah returning to Sony with Reid. Anything is possible.

20 years ago, Royce Garrison "performed" Mariah's "Emotions" 
This was way before YouTube, I'm sure there are many videos left somewhere in someone's house.
Royce posted that video of him in 2007, how it came up in the news today will remain a mystery.
Here's his description:
"This video was recorded by my father on November 29, 1991 in my grandmother's basement in Centerpoint, AL."

You can watch his video here, I'm sure a lot of us can relate to funny times when we try to "perform" Mariah songs

You all know the situation in Japan, it's beyond words.  Maybe you donated money or a few hours of your time already, but there's something more we can do to show our solidarity with all the people in Japan!

Shino (from LoveLoveJack) who obviously has a limited time to spend on Twitter asks Mariah fans to make an "Orizuru".  You can read the significance of it at this link.  It's a message of hope and at the moment we all know how they need hope there!

Please, try to make your "Orizuru" for Japan.  Look how you can do it here.  I know it's not easy, but at least try, even if your "Orizuru" is a little messed up, it's better than no "Orizuru" at all.   Please guys, make one and send the picture of it to @Orizuru4Japan

Spread the word!  Thanks guys

Mariah, Nick  And Twins Are Going To Be 'The Perfect Family' Says Friend
Heavily pregnant Mariah Carey’s due date is inching ever closer, and according to a close friend the 41-year-old singer couldn’t look any more amazing or be in any higher spirits.

Stefano Zagni is Mariah’s business partner at Angel Champagne and a close friend to both Mariah and her husband Nick Cannon – and in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com Zagni dishes on Mariah’s baby shower last weekend and why he believes Mariah and Nick will be “great parents.”

“Seeing them together as a couple they’re very loving with each other and you can just feel the excitement between them over the babies,” Stefano says. “During the baby shower Nick was running around with his camera taking lots of pictures but every two or three minutes he would go over to check on Mariah and see if she was okay. He dotes on her. They completely adore each other and are so much in love.

“I just think they’re going to be the perfect family. I really do. I think they’re going to make great parents. They’re going to be very loving and hands-on.

“Mariah’s doing very well. I hadn’t seen her for a few months but she looks absolutely stunning. She was glowing and very happy and in good spirits.

“Both her and Nick are very excited about the birth and they’re just hugely looking forward to the future as a family. They’re lucky to have twins. It’s great isn’t it? 

“You could tell from all the pink and blue balloons at the shower that they’re having one of each, which is perfect and amazing.

“Mariah’s been taking it easy and she wasn’t running around during the event. Having twins is quite a big thing – she was resting.”

Mariah and Stefano have been business partners for the past couple of years and the British born entrepreneur hosted Mariah’s shower as his gift to her.

“It was a very nice festive lovely event,” Stefano says. “Full of beautiful balloons and lots of gifts from friends and family. A very classy nice event for a couple of hours.

“I have to say the whole thing was very special. It was magical with the guests that turned up and the food, along with Angel Champagne to sip on. There was beautiful food and canapés and everyone was in good spirits, Mariah looks absolutely amazing.

“There were some nice guests there and some of them made speeches. Brett Ratner [who has directed Mariah’s music videos], Randy Jackson, and Piers Morgan showed up.

“Brett and Randy gave speeches. Everyone had a great time. But the star of the event was, of course, Mariah, and she looked resplendent and glowing from top to bottom. I have never seen her happier.”

Jerry O'Connell talks working with Mariah
Jerry O’Connell, currently starring on CBS’ The Defenders, recently spoke to EW about some of his greatest roles, including Stand By Me, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. But what two co-stars did EW really want O’Connell to discuss? His “Heartbreaker” video co-star Mariah Carey and … the titular character from his 2003 movie, Kangaroo Jack

“Heartbreaker” (1999) O’Connell played Carey’s cheating boyfriend in this elaborate video, directed by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour). The actor only has great memories of Carey. “She was a trip. I don’t know anything about the music industry and I still don’t. Champagne was flowing. She had a huge trailer. There was security everywhere. That was a world I just didn’t know about. She was the best! She’s a real Long Island girl. I found her to be really sweet and funny.”

Mariah and Nick's 'Festive' Baby Shower
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are expecting twins and the couple gave Life & Style exclusive access to their intimate baby shower on March 6.

"Nick and I were so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate with us," Mariah told the magazine.

Mariah revealed that hers was the only baby shower that the singer had ever attended, saying, "This was my first one -- it was so festive."

The event was held in a space decorated in pink and blue, since the couple is expecting to have a boy and a girl.

"There was a lot of love in the room, and to top it off, fans from more than 50 countries sent well-wishes and stories in a book they made for our twins titled Always Be My Babies, which was the sweetest gesture in the world," said Mariah, who also received gifts from celebrities such as Randy Jackson, Piers Morgan, Penny Marshall and Brett Ratner. "It was a night I will never forget."

Mariah's baby shower photos are featured in the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands nationwide Friday.

"Mariah looked radiant"
"Mariah looked radiant at the baby shower last night" says Piers Morgan and with his British sense of humor he always teases Nick, so he added "Dad-to-be looked not as good as me".

A few months ago, he also said (always as a joke): "Congrats to my AGT main man Nick and Mariah on news of their twins. Hope they have their mother's looks.

For the ones who don't know Piers Morgan very well, he's a British journalist and was judge at Britain's Got Talent, America's Got Talent and has now his show on CNN at the slot left by Larry King.

Caring husband!
First-time parents Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon had a surprisingly low-key baby shower in Beverly Hills on Sunday evening.

Held at the rooftop Conservatory Grill at Montage (a boutique hotel), the bash "was very elegant and not too over the top,"

Pregnant with a twin boy and girl, Carey, 41, and hubby Cannon, 30, arrived in their Rolls Royce Phantom and greeted guests upstairs -- where the black-and-white eatery was decked out with pink and blue flowers and balloons.

Well-wishers checked out the panoramic city views as they munched on appetizers and toasted with champagne.

What did the superstar couple get from their pals? Two elaborate stuffed giraffes, gorgeous baby blankets, luxe clothes plus books and bath toys.

"Mariah and Nick seem very excited and anxious about finally having their babies.. He was doting on her the entire night, rubbing her back and getting her water. He really takes care of her and wants to make sure she is comfortable."

Mariah’s Thank You Message To The Fans! 

Thank you SO much to all who came to the baby shower last night and all who couldn't be there but sent such beautiful presents and sweet messages!

Still haven't really opened all the gifts but seeing so many people who came from all over the world to be there with us was the BEST gift we could ask for!

The "Always Be My Babies" 'Lamb Book' is definitely my new prized possession and I can't thank the Lambs around the world enough for your letters & well wishes.

FYI-we so had a "moment" in the middle of the shower when they presented the book to me and everyone thought it was the cutest, most thoughtful thing ever! Clearly, only the Lambs would swing something like that home!!!  It was the best moment of the night. I can't wait for the twins to read the messages and feel the love!!! : )

Again, thank you so much to our friends and family for making it an unforgettable experience

Love ya much always!!!

xoxo

Mimi & Nick

Mariah & Nick Celebrate at Blue-and-Pink Baby Shower
The Conservatory Grill at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills was transformed into a blue-and-pink wonderland Sunday, as Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated the upcoming arrival of their twins with an elegant baby shower.

The parents-to-be arrived at 7 p.m., with Cannon, 30, behind the wheel of a black Rolls-Royce that he gave Carey, 41, as a Christmas gift. They were joined by friends including American Idol judge Randy Jackson.

The adults-only shower had a warm and romantic atmosphere with small cocktail tables that were decorated with pink roses and blue hydrangeas. (They are expecting a boy and a girl.) Pink and blue balloons also dotted the private event. 

"Mariah has been anxiously awaiting her shower, and she was very excited when she arrived at the hotel," says a source. "She couldn't wait to celebrate her baby twins with her friends."

Carey and Cannon received many pink-and-blue-wrapped presents and several lavish gifts, including two almost life-size stuffed giraffes and two chairs hand-made for the twins.

Guests nibbled on gourmet appetizers and sipped Angel champagne.

"Mariah had the best time at her shower," says the source. "She was very touched by how nicely everything turned out and excited about all the generous gifts she received. She has been feeling a bit tired and worn out lately, but the shower was an event that she really enjoyed and that made her very happy. Now she can't wait to meet her baby twins!"

Someone on THR should wear glasses 

Some people over at THR should really wear glasses or learn to read, or maybe they think St Bart or Venice is in Lybia 
Also, I find it disturbing that some artists try to bring attention by saying now "I denied an offer" (from the dictator himself in Libya, not his sons outside the country, huge difference!)

Mariah Carey: New Song “Save the Day” To Raise Money for Human Rights Issues

Mariah Carey‘s had a slight pr problem recently. She and other acts like Beyonce and Usher have performed in St. Barts over the last few years at New Year’s Eve parties thrown by the sons of vicious, crazy dictator Muammar Ghaddafi. At the time, Libya was not in the news. The shows were booked by a name promoter who probably was not forthcoming about the true nature of the underwriters. Now it’s become an issue in hindsight, which is sort of ridiculous.

Anyway, Mariah is not happy about what occurred and is stepping up to the plate. First, she tells me that a song she will record for her album, called “Save the Day,” will only generate funds to be donated for human rights issues. She may even set up her own foundation. She’s done this before. All the money ever made from the song “Hero” has gone to charity–millions. She’s also donated millions from DVDs and from the song “One Sweet Day,” which she recorded with Boyz II Men.

Carey has always been very philanthropic. She still runs her annual Camp Mariah through the Fresh Air Fund; she supports it financially. She’s even given her image to PETA to sell, although considering the weather today she might want it back!

Mariah’s official statement about the birthday event:  “I was naïve and unaware of who I was booked to perform for. I feel horrible and embarrassed to have participated in this mess. Going forward, this is a lesson for all artists to learn from. We need to be more aware and take more responsibility regardless of who books our shows. Ultimately we as artists are to be held accountable.”

I already said it and it seems I'm not the only one.....
As revenues from recorded music and other sectors dwindle, corporate and private shows are welcome income for artists at all levels. But given the negative publicity artists have received for playing parties for the sons of embattled Libyan dictator, it's a safe bet that agents and managers will be giving more scrutiny to private gigs in the future.

As one manager who wished to remain anonymous puts it, "This is what artists do: they get paid to perform.

One manager believes donating fees from the Gadhafi sons gigs sends the wrong message. "I absolutely believe it is a mistake and an over-reaction to a trumped up press story to give back the money that any of the artists received for doing their jobs," says Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG Live . "Most of the names I have read about have active foundations and are philanthropists," Phillips says. "They should continue in those endeavors and not single out fees they received for these play dates as if they were admitting to doing something wrong.  If asked to perform for Gadhafi's kids today, with what is happening on the ground in Libya, the answer would obviously be a resounding 'no way!' The press has a tendency to try to make us all Monday morning quarterbacks."

In retrospect, it is more than possible that the artists are not even aware of the political and social implications of certain shows they play. Often the buyer is a middle agent representing the person inquiring about the show, and the U.S. was seeing its relations with Libya and Gadhafi improve at the time of the shows in question.

As for the acts who play for events that later become tainted, Dennis Arfa, president of Artists Group International, "You can't use today's current events to say what you should or shouldn't have done six months ago. That's not a fair rule." He adds that he believes the artists are taking too much heat for the Gadhafi gigs. "It wasn't like they're going in there now and entertaining the Libyan army."

Da Brat on Mariah in first interview 
Da Brat gave her first interview since she's out of jail to Vibe:
Extracts:

- How did you find out about Mariah's pregnancy?
Oh man! I talk to Mariah often and her and Nick came to see me. I knew about the miscarriage and I know she's having the twins. And I know she only wanted to do it one time. They are like the cutest couple, they both are eternally 12. I swear! They’re big kids.

- Who was most surprising visitor?
Mariah and Nick surprised me! I saw someone from their crew and said ‘Oh shit!’ I would’ve never thought that she would’ve came, she’s so girly! But that's what real friends do.

Whoopi Goldberg made a good point
On the whole performing for a dictator's son mess which is heavily commented in the medias (even more than the drama who occurs in that country), Whoopi Goldberg actually made a good point on The View, she said something like "when our country is friends with dictators...... why shouldn't performers perform".

That was exactly my point posted last week: "Why don't the medias criticize all Presidents, governments who have received or visited the dictator and sold him weapons he now uses against demonstrators, weird huh......"

Tommy Mottola  X Factor USA judge?
The name of the judges keep changing every 2 days, many articles or people told Mariah was still in line for being judge.  Today, the DailyMail reveals that Simon Cowell lines up Tommy Mottola for X Factor USA judging panel:
- "if Mr Mottola - the former boss of Sony Music - takes the role, it could scupper an appearance by Mariah Carey, his ex-wife.  Miss Carey had made clear her interest in joining Cowell on the judging panel of the new talent TV show – and was certainly a name on Fox executives’ wish list.

But it could be said that it may not be possible for the ex-couple to appear together.
Mr Mottola, 61, is one of the most high-profile record executives in the industry and throughout his 15-year tenure at Sony was responsible for launching Miss Carey’s career as well as discovering Jennifer Lopez.

Auditions for the American X Factor will not even start until May – where producers will whittle down contestants - with judges coming on set shortly afterwards.
And there is still a month before Cowell will make an official announcement about who will join him on the show.

Mariah and Nick haven't decided on names yet
Here's what Nick told John Katsilometes on the radio show "Kats with the Dish:

"We believe we have them, but you never know until you actually name them.. I have vetoed a few names, but don't know until you actually see them in person. Maybe we'll come up with something new. We'll know on the day they are born."
