Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon Welcome Twins!

April 30, 2011


Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed their baby son and daughter today – on their third anniversary no less! April 30 was quite the day for the family!

The legendary singer delivered the babies just after noon today in Los Angeles.

Carey’s rep, Cindi Berger, said the baby girl came first, weighing 5 lbs., 3 oz., and was 18 inches; her brother was next, at 5 lbs. 6 oz., and was 19 inches.

As for the twins’ birthday, Nick seemingly called it.

“I’m not trying to be psychic, but we renew our vows every year so … It’s probably going to be in the hospital this year. I can feel it,” he said Thursday.

“The minister’s coming. This gown won’t be a wedding gown, but a hospital gown.”

Carey’s rep tells People “she’s doing great” and that the whole family were listening to Carey’s “We Belong Together” after the children were born.

Those two kids are gonna have some awesome lullabies growingup. Just saying.

Asked if the birth was planned for April 30, Berger said: “No, not even Mariah could plan that. But I spoke to both of them and they are overjoyed.”

Which of the two had the butterflies before the big moment?

“Nick was very nervous and Mariah was completely calm.”

“Mariah thought it was another soft labor and Nick was driving her to the hospital and she very calm and the music was blasting,” she added.

“When they walked into the hospital, [Nick] was going the wrong way and they nurse redirected them to go the maternity ward.”

“I said to her, ‘that’s right out of I Love Lucy,’ and she laughed.”

Long before the births, the couple made no secret of their desire to have children. Nor did they shy away from revealing pregnancy photos.

We’re glad everyone is healthy and happy. Congratulations again!

Kate Middleton Evening Gown: Simply Stunning


Having married Prince William earlier Friday in the wedding of the millennium, Kate Middleton changed into a stunning evening gown for the royal reception.

Like Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, this gown looked nothing short of perfect for a duchess, and was custom designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.

Burton said of her design experience: “Alexander McQueen’s designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes.”

We’d say that worked pretty well in this case, wouldn’t you?

Sarah Burton added that in recent weeks, she and her team “worked closely with Catherine to create this dress under conditions of strictest secrecy.”

Lindsay Lohan to Plead No Contest to Theft


Lindsay Lohan will enter a plea of no contest to the misdemeanor theft charge she faces over the alleged necklace theft she commented earlier this spring.

Despite insisting she is innocent, Lindsay is committed to what she told Jay Leno this week – she wants to accept responsibility and move on with her life.

As a result, Lohan and lawyer Shawn Holley will go back to Judge Stephanie Sautner as early as next week to enter a plea and end the case. Then what?

Lindsay was already sentenced to 120 days in jail for a probation violation, along with 480 hours of community service, at a preliminary hearing last week.

By pleading no contest to the theft charge, Lindsay is banking on Judge Sautner not adding additional prison time onto the 120 days for the theft charge.

In other words, LiLo serves 120 days for the probation violation and that’s that.

Given that she had the option of a plea deal (which she turned down) to serve less than that for the theft charge originally, that’s how it’ll likely go down.

Assuming it does, what do you think of Lohan’s jail sentence?

American Idol Exit Interview: Casey Abrams Says Goodbye


Humble until the end, Casey Abrams recently spoke on his elimination from American Idol.

The bearded crooner told MTV he had a feeling his name would be called on Thursday night. Not because he did poorly, but because he was so impressed by his competitors.

My performance was pretty good,” he said. “But seeing Jacob kill it and then seeing Haley kill it, seeing Scotty and Lauren kill it and Durbin obviously… it just made me feel like, ‘These guys are incredible. These guys could carry the show. I don’t really need to be here, so if I go home tomorrow, I’m prepared.’”

On a personal note, Casey’s goodbye to contestant Haley Reinhart – which included a kiss – forced him to clear up all rumors about the two dating. He just refers to her as his “special music friend.”

“I was completely on random mode. I didn’t plan on ending up on Haley; it just happened that way. Nothing was planned,” he said of his hug and kiss-filled farewell on stage.

Does the talented singer (he plays cello, bass, drums and clarinet) have any parting words of advice?

“Don’t take yourself too seriously. Take music seriously, but not yourself.”
