What’s REALLY Hood Mr. & Mrs. Cannon?

Hollywood folks have for real lost their damn minds behind these publicity stunts. Nick Cannon’s stepmother Linda Cannon has confirmed to E! that Nick has indeed married the pink yet lavender butterfly that is Mariah Carey:
“Yes, we know,” she says. “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.”
I promise y’all I didn’t know until last week that Nick and MiMi even knew each other. And I know Selita is somewhere extra pissy that she dealt with his corny ass for a long minute and didn’t even get past the engagement. But he went and married MiMi like this ish was on a dare or something. Sources say the ultra private nuptials took place–with Da Brat in tow–at MiMi’s new Bahamas crib. I guess sneak-up weddings are the new black. Stop the madness Nariah.
Confused on how all this could happen? Check out the posts leading up to these “nuptials” here, here, here, and here. Still confused? Don’t worry–we are too.

SELITA AND NICK WAS A PUBLICITY STUNT
MARIAH AND NICK IS A TOTAL PUBLICITY STUNT
SELITA COULD CARE LESS SHE HAS THAT OSI CAT FROM THE NY GIANTS, GO SELITA!!!
NICK IS TOTALLY GAY (WELL BI-SEXUAL) AND MOST INDUSTRY FOLKS KNOW THIS…
THIS ONE WILL BE OVER BY THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN THEY ARE DONE MILKING ALL THE PRESS, BESIDES IT’S NOT EVEN LEGAL UNTIL THEY GET A MARRIAGE LICENSE IN THE USA.

GROSS! What is he like 12, and she is 46 still trying to hold on to her mouse face lmao! I think him and Christina Milian made a cool couple, at least they looked the same age. Even when he was with the Victoria Secret model he looked like a little boy, just can’t take him serious, all I see MiMi with is an old white man, sorry for saying that but its the truth. TOMMY COME GET YOUR GIRL lol Hopefully this is just another Eddie and Tracy move to get a few headlines, if not this just looks plain wrong.

You know that other celebrity couple that got married recently? That big, high profile, black couple in the music industry that got married last month on the fourth? The couple that has been together for something like 6 years, but never really do or say anything outside of on record, to call attention to the fact that they are happily together?
Yeah, THEM. Reading ish like this here, well, it makes me so much more appreciative of how they kept and continue to keep their private life on the Hollywood version of the down-low. No stunts, no jumping the broom after dating for less time than it takes to do a load of laundry…
Man. I swear, a part of me hopes this is some kind of publicity stunt, just for the sake of Mariah and her reclaimed sanity. Chick passed on Luis Miguel, Derek Jeter and DaBrat (yeah, I said it!) for Nick Cannon?! HE’s her Vision of Love? REALLY, Mimi?
Whatever she’s smoking must make Nick appear to look like quite the bomb diggety unicorn, because this right here is craaaazy.

hope that chick he likes has a prenup.
what does the step mum mean by “if THATS what he wants”? doesn’t she mean “if thats who he wants?”

After that LAVISH wedding Mariah had with Tommy Mottola, she is TOO GOOD for this spontaneous ish. And NICK CANNON of ALL people? C’mon boo–whatever happened to the fineness that is Derek Jeter? Or that one Latin singer? There are many other fine men her age who have it together out there. Awww I’m sad my girl Mariah reduced herself to this silly tabloid event of a “wedding”.
You guys think she’ll have his children? Maybe she got married because she wants kids! After all, she’s 38. That’s ancient if you want kids!

I think Nick Cannon is attractive and has done well with his finances throughout his career and he is not “corny” at all he is a comedian/actor/business man. Mariah is beautiful and successful and if the two of them have selected each other for partners wonderful. I am always excited to hear about a “black love connection”. As far as there ages are concerned she looks wonderful for any age and men date younger women all of the time with little to know feedback from society. I wish them the best.

this better not be true because he’ll take her for all she’s worth and destroy her public image if they ever break up did she not learn anything from Britney and K-Fed and Whitney and Bobby Brown and if this turns out to be a publicty stunt for her album that would be more damaging i hope this just a rumor
On May 2, 2008 | Reply | Quote
I don’t get the hook-up either but Nick has millions too. He has been producing tv shows since he was a teen. So I doubt if he needs her money at all. I can’t imagine what they have in common but I don’t know them personally either. They both like to get half naked so maybe thats it.

I wish people will stop saying that Nick Cannon is broke. I am def not a fan of his but he has some cash on his side as well. MTV is paying that cat for like three or four shows. If they are married who cares? Let Hollywood people do what they want, there are plenty more worthless marriages out in the general public. if she is married I am happy for her, I always imagined she would end up alone with all that money and no one

Even though this has turdage stink all over it… I hope for Mimi’s sake it true. Hopefully she will settle down a bit. Maybe now she will put some damn clothes on. Don’t get me wrong… She is hot to death with her million dollar legs but she seriously needs to update her look.
Black tights+ booty shorts= a whole lotta H.A.M.ery!
If it is true… Nick Cannon needs to bottle up his undercover swagger and sell it. whooda thunkit???

WELL MARIAH YOU DAMNED FOOL. not only are you making a complete ass of yourself i heard on mtv yall married without your old cougar ass not signing a pre nup.. gotta give it to you Nick you are a pimp and going to be way more wealthier than you ever were. man maraih is an ass of al asses. like she attended a school for being stupid or she’s heading down britney lane.. her the brat and nick all cosying up although the brat is more of MAN than nick will ever be. and it was confirmed it was the same ring NICK gave selita. never knew mariah was aight with taken second hand goods. thats what she get with her dry ashy self
On May 2, 2008 | Reply | Quote
why is everyone so under with the weddings? when i do it, i’m shouting it from the rooftops. celebrities know that they lose their privacy once they sign on the dotted line. mariah is really big, and nick ain’t broke (he’s not tommy mottola, but i’m sure he’s got his loot) and while on the outside they make an interesting looking couple, i’m with the family member, ‘if that’s what he wants to do (after 3 dates) then do that..’ i’m thinking cannon got some undercover business that may have mariah putting on some clothes now..
consider marc anthony and lopez…she’s been quiet ever since they got back together…
whatev..

What public image?! The public image of her doing a strip tease on MTV? The emotional breakdown? Her refusal to wear clothes? If anything, his public image is better than hers. I’m not hating on Mariah, but let’s be real. Nick Cannon may not have as much money as her, but he does have his own money. Let’s not compare him to Bobby “King of Rock-n-Blunts” Brown.

I have always thought the same thing. I glad for Mariah! But, I do believe that she wants a family and I think he wants the same thing. It is the Hollywood Trend. JLO, Usher, Halle, Maybe Beyonce. Now Mariah will be next. She is not all that young, so I can see why she did it and at least she is doing it in order. Marriage then the baby! Congrats to the happy couple! I was a little concerned about the age, but people are right men marry younger women all the time. So, why can’t we. May Blessing come each of them.

She’s LAME and Gay. Mariah Carey needs to grow the hell up and act her age…and come out the closet with Da Brat! Da fuck!?

personally i feel its just a stunt for the build up of the new video for Bye Bye which Nick plays her love interest and also the wedding is a build up for part two which is for the Love Story video which also features Nick. Thats why the video keeps getting postponed from premiering they trying to make it believable and keep the Mariah hype to get that 19th and 20th number 1 single. but if true she didnt sign a prenup so Nick my brotha is bout to get some bank. but its whateva….

I think Mariah is following Eddie Murphy’s playbook. Get marry in another country, but don’t make it legal in the US.

Wow - what’s with all the hateration?! I actually like Nick Cannon. He grew on me. He stays outta trouble, and has fun while still maintaining a great attitude! I still bump his “Gigilo” song w/ R. Kelly. It’s all in fun people, come on! Why are we so judgmental and condescending of these folks we dont even know? It doesnt matter if shes “not Black enough” for some (how ignint that in 2008?? How is Barack Obama Black to us, but Mimi is not just cuz her hair is straighter???!), she is a tremendously successful woman of color and I’m proud of her for that!! She’s the chic who came up with using Black choirs in secular songs like 15 years ago. Now everywhere you look there is a Black choir added in the mix, rap songs, awards shows, presedential inagurations, etc. It’s nice to see a handsome young Black man make his own money without *degrading women*, embarassing his momma and just being an ignint fool in the process!! He is a little odd, helloooo so is Mariah! She is very *special* but I have been a fan of hers since the beginning. Sometimes I want to just shake her and be like Mimi - change it up!!! Why the same style all the time, the same dress in 78 diff colors, LOL, but hey, I give her major props for being true to herself. She doesnt need to reinvent herseld every 3 years to stay relevent. Mariah is a true individual and does what she wants no matter what the haters and lonely people say! I admire that in her and if she and Nick can make it, I’m happy for them. I do think she and the brat have something too, but hey, whatever. I like these 2 goofy folks together!!! Stop hatin! I admit, it may be all publicity, but I hope it’s not…
