Mariah & Usher Jet Into the UK for a Hush Hush Event

Mariah Carey & Joan Collins
New mother to twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe Cannon, Mariah made an unannounced flying visit to the UK for a very private social gathering.

Mariah was looking fabulous just two months since giving birth to the twins. There is no word if the twins accompanied Mariah or were left back in the US with daddy Nick Cannon or family members. 

Mariah has stated she isn't into the 'nanny' thing but did have a baby nurse during the last stage of her pregnancy and I'm assuming shortly after the twins were born.

“I’m going to be hands on, ‘I wouldn’t be like, ‘Oh, I’m a having a child, yay! Let me get a nanny so I can give her the baby. Take the kid.’ That doesn’t work for me. I don’t believe in that. - Mariah Carey in OK Magazine

Heavily Pregnant Mel B Puts Husband To Good Use

"My humps my bumps will not allow me to fasten my own shoes,so this is how I do them!!"
Northern lass, ex Spice Girl, wife to a con man and new Australia X-Factor judge Melanie Brown aka Mel B aka Scary Spice is soon to give birth to her third child. Last night she tweeted to her 'fans' a picture of her movie producer husband Stephen Belafonte (NOT his real last name) saying "My humps my bumps will not allow me to fasten my own shoes,so this is how I do them!!!" Stephen was helping his cash cow wife tie her Christian Louboutin shoes or 'Red Bottoms' if you're ghetto with ZERO class!

I'm no fan of Mel B, but for someone very much into her third trimester she is looking great, and obviously determined to remain a yummy mummy by any means necessary. Good on her!

Mariah & Nick's Baby Nursery for The Twins

Mariah Carey: Glowing mommy-to-be
The most famous unborn babies, who already have been nicknamed by Mariah as 'dem babies' have yet to make their way into the world, but it seems that their parents Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are more than prepared for their arrival.

Mariah spoke to Life & Style magazine about the lavish nursery for her first two children, expected any day now.
"I wanted to create a beautiful, tranquil, cozy environment for the babies," Mariah tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. "Everything matches, but pieces are individualized to celebrate the twins as separate entities."
Mariah's favorite part of the twins' LA nursery? The cloudscape, star-speckled ceiling. "The ceiling has orangey-pink clouds in a blue sky with golden stars twinkling. It's based on two songs I wrote that are fan favorites: 'Underneath the Stars' and 'Close My Eyes,'" Mariah tells Life & Style. "Sometimes I just sit in the nursery and stare at the ceiling because I love it so much. To me, it symbolizes wanting my children to dream as big as possible and to let their imaginations be unbridled." Mariah also incorporated her favorite winged insects, butterflies, into the nursery and super-soft stuffed-animal lambs, what the singer endearingly calls her fans. 
 "Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us," Mariah says. "It's going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded. One thing I'm sure of is that I'll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what."
Patiently waiting: Nick has already confirmed a May 14th due date for the babies.
No babies yet! But the nursery is ready!

I expected it to be very gaudy, but for all the millions that Nick & Mariah have combined I'm actually very impressed at how pretty and neutral it looks.

If She's Pregnant, Leave The Woman Alone!

I'm talking about Mariah Carey. Rumours surrounding the fact that she indeed maybe pregnant. I think she is to be honest, but I'm a NORMAL human being who isn't writing dumb messages on blogs that read to the like "why don't they just announce it already and stop acting stupid about it all."

OK you know something...this really vexes me because I thought people were aware that with pregnancy being overall risky, that the first few months are the most riskiest with the possibility of miscarriage. Even your everyday average run of the mill mother-to-be waits to announce pregnancy to friends and family once they've been given the OK or had the first scan. This is NOT uncommon.

Why do people act so brand new? Mariah and Nick aren't doing anything divaish about their decision to keep quiet. It's for the best and even better for them as their private life is so public. What do people want? For them to announce 48 hours after unprotected sex they're pregnant, go public, an unfortunate miscarriage occurs and they have to then tell their business and grieve about it in the eyes of the public? To be honest as a diehard fan, I wish her well with her marriage and career but I wouldn't feel put out if she didn't even announce anything officially and just went ahead and had her child in the months to come. Mariah and the other celebrities alike don't owe us a damn thing. I expect to be enterained, inspired and moved when I purchase a CD of hers and that I am, so she's fine with me. The rest of it I'll happily respect her privacy. I know and understand that this comes with the job of being a celebrity, but it doesn't mean every little bit of information should be dug up for our pleasure.

I for one don't want to hear of any celeb announcing officially to the world they are pregnant below three months. As she's not even showing [if pregnant] it's obvious she's in the very early stages.

Y'all know I'm no damn celebrity but I tell you this. When I get married and have my children, I'll be keeping it between myself and my husband for two to three months or maybe a bit longer. Anyone close to me that wants to get mad, get mad. People will know in due time. I know what I'm like, if [God forbid] I'd have to endure the misfortune of miscarrying I'd just want to deal with it privately, very privately.
