Nick Cannon
Gossip

In the latest issue of Elle, Mariah Carey gushes about new husband Nick Cannon. Specifically, the singer praises her man for how perfect a father she predicts he will be.

"I couldn't imagine anybody that I've ever met being a better dad," Carey told the magazine, adding that she wants to raise her future children in a responsible, anti-Dina Lohan manner.

"You can get caught up in Hollywood-land or celebrity-land, and that's maybe not the best thing for kids, 'cause they didn't ask for it... I really feel like it's very important to be responsible and to think, 'Well, maybe if I do this it's not the best thing for my child.'"

We're shocked and proud to hear such sage words coming from Mariah.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon: Black, white and sexy!

Carey added that she and Cannon share "a similar spiritual outlook on life."

They also share the potential for a top-notch celebrity couple nickname. Mannon? Mick? Nariah? Write in with your favorite today!

Mariah Carey crooned about how a certain someone would "Always Be My Baby" during the 1990s.

Now, it sounds like the diva and new husband Nick Cannon will actually welcome babies into their universe.

The source of this information - but not that awful segue - is Nick's half-brother, Reuben Cannon, who told Us Weekly that Cannon "definitely wants kids."

"I am not sure exactly if now is the time," Reuben said. "Both of their careers are crazy right now."

Reuben added that Nick and Mariah have a "real and honest love" for each other and "that is what is going to keep them together."

This bodes well for the couple. Real love is a better foundation on which to build, as opposed to the TomKat foundation of real and honest public relations assistance.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married out of nowhere, casting doubt as to whether this union is destined for success. That's the subject of today's Face-Off. Comments are highly encouraged as The Hollywood Gossip staff debates ...

WILL THE MARIAH CAREY-NICK CANNON MARRIAGE LAST?

YES by mischalova

The 2002 movie Drumline stars Nick Cannon as a talented street drummer that, according to IMDB, "initially flounders in his new world, before realizing that it takes more than talent to reach the top."

That quote might as well sum up Nick Cannon's love life, as well.

Having floundered in the dating world with Kim Kardashian and Selita Ebanks in the past, it's now apparent Cannon desires more, seeking a soulmate that brings more than just large breasts and lingerie to the table.

Enter Mariah Carey, the most successful solo artist of all-time.

Years ago, she sang about a "hero [coming] along, with the strength to carry on," but none of her rumored flings fit that bill. Eminem, Marcus Schenkenberg and Derek Jeter were nothing but time and panty fillers until Mariah's true hero came along.

Now that he's arrived, let's let Carey explain why this marriage is meant to last: "We really feel we are soulmates. I never felt love like this was in the cards for me."

What's so special about the latest video from Mariah Carey?

The singer met new husband Nick Cannon on the set of "Bye, Bye." Evidently, portraying lovers on screen led this pair to become lovers... for life!

Take a look now:

The celebrity gossip world has been buzzing with rumors that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon went from engaged to married in a shorter period of time than it took Britney Spears to from hot to vomit-inducing.

According to family member Linda Cannon, the couple is, in fact, hitched.

"Yes, we know," she told E! Online. "He called us and told us all about it. We are happy for him. If that is what he wants then we are happy for him."

We can only wonder if Cannon's ex-girlfriends, Selita Ebanks and Kim Kardashian, feel the same way.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married before we could even give them a nickname. Mick? Nariah? What do you think?

The rumors appear to be true: Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are engaged.

Carey met the 27-year-old rapper/actor when he directed the video for her latest single, "Bye Bye," in late March.

An insider told Us Weekly that the romance was "hot and heavy," while Cannon has been quoted as saying he loves "everything" about Mariah.

How long do you give the engagement of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon?

Previously, Carey has been married to music mogul Tommy Mottola, while Cannon has been engaged to Selita Ebanks and seriously involved with Kim Kardashian.

** Update: as of 2 p.m. EST, reports are coming in that Carey and Cannon are already married. They supposedly tied the knot in a small island ceremony.

What entertainment news story could knock a semi nude Miley Cyrus photo and a possible Roger Clemens/Mindy McCready affair off the front page?

How about an engagement between Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon!

While merely a rumor at this point, the singer wore a giant, sparkling ring on her left hand during the afterparty for her new film, Tennessee, on Saturday night. Cannon remained close by her side.

The new couple held hands at the party, which followed the movie's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Cannon's rep had no comment on the topic, but the man who once dated Kim Kardashian was asked what he liked about Carey and replied:

"Everything."

Awww, we're overcome with happiness, and nausea, for this couple already.

Avert your eyes, Selita Ebanks.

Your former fiance appears to have a crush on Miss USA, Rachel Smith.

The New York Post is reporting that Nick Cannon is doing everything he can to win over the beauty pageant winner, as he's sent her "several dozen roses, chocolates and balloons," according to a source.

"When she opened her apartment door, the hallway was flooded with stuff, and on each item was a different hand-written note from Nick to her."

Who knew Cannon was so smooth? Who has he been taking lessons from, Tony Romo?

Oh no! 

During a week where happy engagement news filled Hollywood - from Katharine McPhee and Nick Cokas to Pete Doherty and Irena Lazareanu - one couple actually called off its wedding.

"[Selit Ebanks and Nick Cannnon] are taking a break to focus on their careers but still very much love each other and remain the best of friends," the rep for the Victoria's Secret model, Melissa Raubvogel, said to People magazine.

It was only five months ago when the Drumline actor proposed to his beautiful girlfriend on the jumbotron at Times Square. How can that sort of romantic gesture go for naught?

By August, though, Cannon seemed hesitant about the nuptials, saying he and his fiancee hadn't exactly planed much regarding the ceremony: "We haven't really talked about a lot of that stuff. You've got to take it slow."

But you've still got to take it somewhere, Tameka Foster would argue, no matter how trying the circumstances seem.

Ebanks, meanwhile, also made it clear a few months ago that she didn't exactly see eye to eye - or dollar to dollar - with her man. When it came to a wedding, Selita said,  "he's all about the bling and having a big wedding. Me? I'm all about the courthouse."

At least these two don't have to worry about coming to a compromise now.

Despite being greatly in love, don't expect Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks to follow the lead of Usher and Tameka Foster. Yet.

The former pair is excited to get married... at some point.

"I did my part!" Cannon told People magazine."You did what you had to do ... you made the commitment. Now it's like, let's just enjoy this for right now."

The Drumline actor â€" who popped the question to Victoria's Secret model Ebanks in May and dated Kim Kardashian in the past â€" says they haven't set a date or a place for the ceremony.

"We haven't really talked about a lot of that stuff. You've got to take it slow," he says.

And it's not as though the star doesn't have his celebrity plate full in the meantime: Cannon will be hosting the Teen Choice Awards with Hilary Duff on August 26.

"It's that preparation time to see if this is what you really want," Cannon said about the engagement to Ebanks.

Nick is also a pal of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, weighing in on the couple's pregnancy by stating: "She had good parenting, so she'll know how to get it going."

But what kind of dad will Madden be? "He'll be a cool dad. The coolest dad. Any rock 'n' roll dad is a cool dad."

The kids of Tommy Lee surely agree.
