Hollywood Life Staff — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 14:00:25 +0000

The singer is working out seven days a week and dieting since she gave birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe on April 30, in a bid to be thinner than ever.

Mariah Carey wants to look as good as she did at her 1990s peak when she returns to TV screens this month on The X Factor. Find out how she’s getting the weight off!

“She works out a minimum of two hours a day, seven days a week now,” a source tells Star magazine.

And she’s dieting too, to try and shake off 25 more pounds.

“She’s on a spartan diet, cutting out refined sugar and white flour and most meat products,” the source adds.

“It’s making her crabby. But she’s leaving nothing to chance.”

Mariah, 42 has tweeted photos of her jogging with her pet dogs — and all that hard work is clearly paying off. She looks fantastic!

Remember, she gave birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe just four months ago!

But will she manage to regain the famous figure that made her one of the sexiest women in the world?

We can’t wait to find out when she steps out on stage at The X Factor premiere on September 21!

What do you think, HollyMoms? Is she doing the right thing? Or should she chill out and let the weight fall off naturally?

Mariah Carey's Twins Are The Most Blinged Out Babies In Showbiz — They're Already Dripping In Diamonds!

Hollywood Life Staff — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 20:12:23 +0000

The diva couldn’t wait until Moroccan and Monroe were old enough to pick out their own jewelry — she already gave them some expensive accessories!

Mariah Carey has splurged on thousands of dollars worth of diamond jewelry for her four-month-old twins with Nick Cannon, Moroccan and Monroe. Is jewelry for babies a good idea?

“Mariah bought diamond earrings for her daughter, and she’s hoping to have her ears pierced soon,” a source tells In Touch. “Plus, both kids have diamond encrusted diaper pins.”

And the new mom is stashing gems away for when the kids she nicknamed ‘Dem Babies‘ are older: “She bought each twin loose diamonds that she put in a vault, to give them when they can appreciate it.”

Mariah and Nick have already dropped $1 million on deluxe nurseries for ‘Roc and ‘Roe. It’s clear these pampered tots won’t go without luxury.

But are they being over spoiled, HollyMoms? And is it OK to dress babies in jewelry?

Weigh in!

Mariah Carey Is Recording Lullaby Versions Of Her Own Songs!

Hollywood Life Staff — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:17:46 +0000

The superstar new mom is in talks to create a whole album of baby-themed Mariah classics!

Mariah Carey‘s husband Nick Cannon revealed the news exclusively to HollyBaby.com, explaining how Mariah came up with the idea for an album of lullabies after singing her twins Moroccan and Monroe to sleep.

“She sings to them, she turns a lot of her songs into lullabies,” Nick tells HollyBaby.com. “They are actually recorded, there will probably be something coming out soon!”

We can’t wait to hear it!

Comedian Nick, 30, also told us all about what goes on inside ‘Roc and ‘Roe’s luxury nursery — and we were shocked to find out notorious diva Mariah, 41, is 100 percent a hands on mom. She even she wakes to feed and change her baby twins in the night!

“We’re getting no sleep at all,” Nick says. “But it’s cool though. when they wake up we just feed them and change them.”

Because there’s twins… they BOTH have to get up!

“We take turns, but it depends when they wake up. There is two of them so they normally wake up at the same time, so ones on one, the other on the other!”

Just because he’s always smiling, doesn’t mean Nick’s a softy — he’s already decided HE’LL be the bad cop when it comes to laying down the law with ‘Roc & ‘Roe.

“Dad is definitely the disciplinary, I’m the stern one, the daddy with the deep voice.”

But right now he’s still a big mush, smitten with the eight-week-olds. His favorite past time? “Right now, it’s like holding them, seeing them smile.”

Nick kicked off his July 4th as Pepto-Bismol‘s Grillmaster at the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, NY. The rest of his day, he celebrated ‘Roc and ‘Roe’s first Independence Day at the couple’s Hamptons home.

He shares, “I’ll be grilling, it’s a BBQ day with the family. We’ll probably chill in the Hamptons for the rest of the day.”

And those long awaited photos of ‘Roc & ‘Roe? We’re going to have to wait a while longer. Nick is NOT keen on selling snaps of the twins to a magazine. He says, “We’re definitely going to take our time with that. I personally don’t think we need to at all, but the public are interested. I want my kids to be able to be normal regular kids.”

Mariah Carey Shows Off The First Pics Of Her Mini-Me, Baby Monroe!

Hollywood Life Staff — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:48:41 +0000

Mariah’s baby daughter Monroe REALLY IS a little diva just like her mommy. No pics for her — talk to the hand!

Mariah Carey has tweeted the VERY FIRST photo of her newborn twins, a snapshot of seven-and-a-half week old Monroe relaxing in her luxury nursery! It looks like this little lady isn’t ready to be a superstar just yet!

Mariah told Twitter followers, “This is baby Monroe saying ‘no pictures dahhhhling’ at 7+1/2 weeks..oh dear :).”

Mariah’s husband Nick Cannon, 30, recently revealed twins Monroe and Moroccan were already taking after their parents.

He told PerezHilton, “It’s crazy because you can see like my son is definitely more like me. He’s like chill, laid back. My daughter is, that’s her mother’s child. Like she is like a diva. When she wants something, she’s instantly crying letting you know … she’s going to be a little handful.”

We’re dying to see what the twins look like (when they’re not hiding their faces!), but we might have to settle for this snapshot for the time being — until Mariah and Nick can agree a deal with a magazine for the first proper shots of the little superstars they’ve nicknamed ‘Dem Babies’.

It was recently reported the couple are struggling to attract a huge paycheck like the $14 million Brangelina were paid for the first photos of twin Knox and Vivienne in 2008.

Mariah Carey Is Exhausted — She Tells Nick: 'No More Babies!'

Hollywood Life Staff — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:21:06 +0000

Proud papa Nick Cannon admits he’s so smitten with newborns Moroccan and Monroe, he’s already thinking about adding to the couple’s brood!

But his wife Mariah Carey has laid down the law and told him ‘I’m done’ — two is enough. Do you think they’re giving up on more kids for good?

“I do [want more kids], Mariah doesn’t,” Nick, 30 complains to In Touch. “She was like, ‘That’s it! I’m done! Two at once!’ It was an intense pregnancy to carry twins around. She was a trooper.”

We can’t really blame Mariah — she only gave birth seven weeks ago! Leave it a while, Nick — and you might just be able to change her mind!

And it sounds like reformed diva Mariah, 42, is having to do ALL the work at home — because her comedian beau is TERRIBLE at changing diapers.

Nick admits to Us Weekly, “My diapers tend to leak.”

You better learn pretty fast, Nick — twins means A LOT of dirty diapers!

Who was the best diaper-changer in your house, HollyMoms?

Mariah Carey Is Struggling To Sell The First Photos Of Her Twins — She May Have To Settle For Just $200,000!

Hollywood Life Staff — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:46:01 +0000

Magazines have made offers for the first shots of seven week old Moroccan and Monroe — but nowhere near the millions Mariah and husband Nick Cannon want.

The superstar couple are seeking a sum close to the $14 million Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were paid for photos of their twins Vivienne and Knox in 2008 — but they’re only likely to make a paltry $200,000!

Mariah’s rep insists it’s NOT about the money — the singer is just enjoying being a mom: “She is still deciding when and if she’s going to [do the pictures]. She is enjoying being a mom, and there’s no rush. It’s not about the money.”

But sources insist there are offers on the table and they fall SHORT of the 42-year-old’s expectations. An insider says, “There’s not much movement going on right now. Everyone wants them, and everyone is putting in offers. But times and budgets have changed from the Brangie baby years.”

Sources also claim they’re waiting to agree a deal, because Nick, 30 is nervous about cashing in on Moroccan and Monroe, and wants to make sure the photos are tasteful.

“Mariah and Nick are more concerned with doing the right thing than going to the highest bidder,” said a source tells the New York Post. “They’re talking to a number of publications about doing it in the best and most tasteful way. Nick has said on radio he doesn’t feel entirely comfortable selling pictures of his children. But the first picture remains very valuable to the paparazzi.

After he posed alongside a heavily-pregnant Mariah in Life & Style magazine in April, the comedian admitted, “My children are going to have to see these pictures . . . It’s a little weird.”

It’s great to see Nick’s nervous about exploiting his babies. Do YOU think they should sell the photos? Or put us all out of our misery and release them for free?

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Want Their Babies To Be Heart Surgeons, Not Entertainers!

Hollywood Life Staff — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 15:55:20 +0000

The superstar couple WON’T push twins Moroccan and Monroe to follow in their footsteps!

Nick Cannon insists he and wife Mariah Carey want their six-week-old babies ‘Roc and Roe’ to inherit their talents, but he wants them to choose a different path in life — out of showbiz! Is he right?

“I would love it if my children could have the vocal ability like their mother. And I think my sense of humor would help them throughout life,” America’s Got Talenthost Nick, 30, says.

But he adds, “I’m not really a fan of encouraging my kids to be entertainers. Not because I think there’s anything wrong with it. I just think there are so many other things in the world to become and to strive for. I think a lot of times we value the entertainment industry way too much. I want my children to be heart surgeons or a college professor.”

In an interview with People magazine, Nick also reveals how parenthood has changed his and Mariah’s lives.

He says Mariah, 42, “really knows what being a woman is about now. This whole journey has been eye opening, she’ll tell you that.”

Nick, meanwhile, has turned into a sleep-deprived workaholic!

He says, “I’ve got mouths to feed now. I’ve got to put my kids through college, so that gives me a whole different drive. It gives me a different type of momentum to want to do more and be the best provider and father that I can possibly be.”

“I rarely even see a bed, so now when I go home it’s just spending all the time with my family and then back out to work again. So I kind of sleep more on airplanes and in the back of cars and stuff more than actually in the house.”

Wow… that’s one dedicated dad!

But is he right to steer his kids away from showbiz, HollyMoms? Or should they embrace any talents they inherit from their parents?
