Trust

Nick Cannon has no problem with wife Mariah Carey admitting in her most recent interview with Barbara Walters that she only trusts her husband “sometimes.”

“That’s us. That’s how it really is. We’re a real couple and we don’t pull any punches for the media,” Nick told Access Hollywood at T-Mobile & Google’s Launch of Google Music in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. “It’s just like any relationship, if you ask a woman if she trusts a man, she’s definitely gonna say, ‘Sometimes.’”

Mariah actually cleared things up herself in an interview with Gayle King recently, as she promoted her Jenny Craig weight loss, telling Gayle that troubles in a past relationship caused her to have trust issues with men.

And as for that weight loss of 30 pounds since the birth of Nick and Mariah’s twins – Monroe and Moroccan — Nick said he supported his wife’s efforts.

“It’s amazing that she’s doing it,” Nick said. “I’ve been proud of her since the very beginning, this entire process — being the mother of my children and knowing everything that she wentthrough, and all the sacrifices that she had to make and then to even bounce back is definitely impressive.

X factor Xed

Simon Cowell has been forced to rule Mariah Carey out of his The X Factor judging panel - because the pregnant singer will be too busy with her twins when the TV talent show begins.

The music mogul has been desperate to recruit Carey for the upcoming American version of his hit U.K. TV talent show, which launched the career of British singer Leona Lewis.

But Cowell will have to find another star for the job - because the Hero hitmaker will need plenty of time off after she gives birth to her babies this spring (11).

He tells the Los Angeles Times, "I can tell you officially that Mariah will not be on the panel, mainly because I think she's still gonna be pregnant at the time we start filming and she's gonna need some time off.

"She couldn't start working straight away, and they're long days."

However, Cowell insists there is a good chance Carey will appear on the show when the live singing rounds kick off in the autumn (11).

He adds, "She wants to be involved... we're hopeful there will be a role for her - and I'm not sure what yet - on the live shows."

Last week (ends20Mar11), it was confirmed producer L.A. Reid will take one of the three seats next to Cowell on the judging panel.

Mariah Carey celebrated the upcoming birth of her twins by living it up at a baby shower in Beverly Hills. Apparently a restaurant at the Montage Hotel was "transformed into a blue and pink wonderland" for the singer, since much to my dismay she's having both a boy and a girl. The event was adults only, which is nice to hear; no child should be subjected to hanging out with Mariah Carey for an afternoon, which doesn't bode well for the two she's about to birth. It's also reported that at the shower there was plenty of champagne flowing, which hopefully made it tolerable for the guests. Mariah reportedly got tons of gifts, including two almost life-sized stuffed giraffes. Great, I'm sure that household has a huge lack of stuffed animals. Whatever, all in all the hefty mom-to-be had a great time and it was exactly what she needed. A source said that Mariah "has been feeling a bit tired and worn out lately," which explains her appearance

embarrassed

 

Mariah Carey is the latest celebrity to reply to reports that she accepted cost to perform for Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi.

In an announcement, Carey said she was “naïve and unaware of who I used to be booked to perform for. I really feel horrible and embarrassed to have participated in this mess."

The singer's statement comes on the heels of comparable bulletins from fellow stars Beyoncé and Nelly Furtado, who have also come below fireplace for accepting cash to carry out for Gadhafi and his family.

Furtado lately announced that she would donate the $1 million she obtained to charity. Beyoncé has mentioned the money she acquired has already gone to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

Carey added in her assertion that she'll know better subsequent time.

"Going forward, this is a lesson for all artists to learn from," she said. "We have to be extra aware and take more responsibility regardless of who books our shows. Ultimately we as artists are to be held accountable

Just for money

Libya's national security adviser, hired Beyoncé and Usher to perform at his New Year's Eve party in St. Barts. Gaddafi's other son, Seif al-Islam el-Gaddafi, allegedly paid singer Mariah Carey $1-million to sing four songs at last year's New Year's part in St. Barts.

While the New York Times reports that the United States welcomed Gaddafi's regime during the Bush administration as an ally in the war on terrorism, these pop stars are being criticized for accepting money from a violent and oppressive regime.

It is not uncommon for pop stars to be hired to perform at private events, but it could be argued that performing for the Gaddafi family and taking their money could be construed as condoning the family's actions and politics.

Faces the show

Mariah Carey wasn’t letting her heavily pregnant child bump get in the way of work as she promoted her jewellery vary on U.S TV.
The 40-12 months-previous expectant mother appeared on the House Buying Community with the slogan ‘infants’ written across her black top.
Despite being too pregnant to travel to the community’s Florida studios, she invited their cameras into her LA mansion to movie there instead, but ended up virtually falling asleep on her sofa.
