This marriage is a total sham according to CNN Showbiz Tonight, Sandrarose.com and the rest of the world. Who does MC, Nick and People magazine think they’re fooling?

I’m going to agree with CNN…I mean seriously you gotta do all that to sell records and keep you’re name in the limelight???!!!
I have had enough of this Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon nonsense…Nick Cannon stays in a publicity stunt relationship.
who does this just for publicity? i hope thats not the case. How did they even start dating? First usher and tameka, now this. this madness needs to stop.
Dayum Sandra you’re on it today. Everytime I check bad it’s a new story. I just made it to the Chris Brown beat down story.
Keep it up, it’s boring as all hell at work for me today
Things like this only piss your fans off more.
Yep Anna, I’m inclined to agree with you on this one. Who do they think they’re fooling?
They didnt prove it was a sham, it’s just people giving their opinions on tv like we’re giving our opinion online. A family memeber confirmed it, and white dude even said so. So at this point, it seems they’re stilllllllll together (remember that from In living color)
I flat out REFUSE to believe that a celebrity would EVER try and pull a publicity stunt!
@ my #3 post, “everytime I check BACK, it’s a new story
I raised an eyebrow, when I heard that ppl were “speaking out” about it on Oprah. Now if it is a sham, Oprah is going to be mad as all get out. This wouldn’t be the first time Oprah has been played.
She even did a show with Mariah a few weeks ago, so I KNOW if she is speaking on the “SHAMmarriage” that it “might” be something.
I personally don’t believe the hype. Mariah is way to full of herself to have a “secret” wedding that isn’t advertised publically.
People Magazine needs to be shot!
this is crazy.. so right about the time the new video for Mariah is about to come out… starring nick cannon….. it just so happens that they are not only a couple… but a married.. did she do it because she’s trying to keep up with beyonce??? Nick Cannon’s middle name is “publicity stunt”
Hmm…Why exactly would this be a publicity stunt? I mean Mariah is a superstar and doesn’t need to do any shocking things to keep her name out there. She’s a diva with millions of loyal fans all around the world, It’s not like Mariah is going to be more popular and gain more fans because she secretly marries Nick Cannon somewhere in The Bahamas.
zzzzz, uh, ahem, sorry i fell asleep readin about this foolishness… can anyone tell me if gas prices went down as a result of this bulls*it ass marriage? or did MC’s dog confirm they ran around the rocks & spit into the fire at the spiritual union? Until that pup starts talkin, I’m gonna believe this is some f*ckery at its finest
Marriage is supposed to be sacred. It’s a shame how so many people seem to PLAY with vows these days before the Lord.
i’m going to wait for tmz’s report tonight and see what they say..lol.
Nick Cannon is always engaged to someone smh. Selita, Christina… wasn’t he even dating known media whore Kim Kardashian? That in itself speaks volumes.
They are not fooling me. Whatever is all I can say. People should stop talking about it and we would see them getting a divorce or an anullment because MiMi is gay and who knows about her lil boy toy.
Amazing how people can give their opinions about people they don’t even know. We know of their public persona, not them personally! Celebrities do, do crazy things for attention, but Mariah Carey doesn’t need any extra attention she has sold over 170 MILLION albums, for attention she wears slutty clothes. I think she’s acting on her heart, and from reports she does have a pre-nup.
Why can’t people just be happy for people? Be skeptical, but weren’t people skeptical about the person you’re with? Weren’t people judging your choice? Bless them, Bless Beyonce and Jay-Z, Bless them all.

I agree with you
lol @ lisa! i really don’t care if they are married or not. they both are corny in my opinion….although i likes mariah’s new cd!
Lol @ mochamommy. You sure have a way with words.
@prynsexxx Oprah is going to be mad as all get out. This wouldn’t be the first time Oprah has been played.
Oprah sure don’t play that. She has sex abuse allegations at her girls school in Africia. Remember the book she chose for her book club, that turned out to be made up BS. lol
i wish for once, the media would totally ignore a story like this one…
or mention it once and then it becomes an afterthought…
next week she’ll be pregnant…
Finally a couple that is not afraid to show wedding pictures and confirm their love for eachother! Congrats to them!
Also, some comments on different blogs and even some things the media is saying is borderline racism. Many are upset because she married a black man. SMH
Why does CNN care? Would it be a big deal if the person she is worth “a thousand times” more than were white? Just asking. Nick is successful in his own right. He’s no Kevin Federline. He does make his own money. So whats the big deal? Why mention the fact that she’s worth more than him. she’s more well known than him, he’s benefiting from the publicity while its hurting her…Says who? Something tells me the whole outrage approach wouldn’t be a factor if Mariah married 1 of her video models who always seem to be white or ambiguous. Something tells me that the worlds opinion of Janet only changed when she went public with JD. Janet was always doing freaky things. Talking about her **** piercings and vagina tattoo, posing for magazines with a mans hands holding her breast,,,,but its only when they go public with their Black men that America is in an outrage….lol…I’m just saying. Alright so maybe I’m reaching a bit with that theory but geesh. Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, jlo, Brittney, they’ve all dated/married men who were 2 steps away from the poor house. At least Nick has a legitimate career…A legitimate body of work behind him. Now if it were rayj she married Id understand the outrage.lol.
^^^Yep! And they did it to Whitney too, even before he started acting a fool in public the media just couldn’t understand why she married a *gasp* Black man! They thought she was gonna do the Diana Ross or something.
Yes, this hate is definitely about Nick’s skin color more than anything. Mariah was once married to a white man that is worth more than her and he treated her like crap, so she says. Maybe Nick is the one for her. We’ve never heard anything bad about him or having a rap sheet.
^You know what I had Whitneys name in there to believe it or not, but opted to take it out because Whitney was able to overcome it. Regardless she remaind successful, and no matter what folks said about them, no matter how many comic view commedianes cracked jokes…Whitney was able to keep an audience. Some folks arent so lucky. And lets not forget Mariah openly admits not many (even til this day) realise that she is Black or biracial or whatever she is! So some folks may be looking at this like nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.lol. And back to Whitney yes that’s exactly what they thought. My mom used to say people were expecting her to marry a Robert Deniro or someone like that. Some refuse to accept the so called “americas sweethearts” doing what makes them happy. And if that something is a brotha then hey more power to them.
Whatever!!!!!
They are both lonely, sad, and pitiful
And speaking of Oprah…lol. I watched a clip of her interview with Barbra Walters online. Now I didnt see the whole show, but what was up with her turning to the audience to say “and it was a Black man” (i promise I wont mention race anymore after this).lmao. Oooooooooh. Does that make the infidelity worst? Jucier, or is it just still plain ol wrong. Are we supposed to applaud Barbra for her courage in admitting she slept with a Black man 50 yrs after the fact???LOL. That’s like Dinah Shore admiting her dad was black. Ooooh youre so brave for admitting this just as your career is on it’s last leg.lol. I’m just saying. The tone in Oprah’s voice was in such an ooooh its so taboo sort of way. When I was hoping her tone would be more of an oh so you’re a wh*re type of voice. She broke up a marriage, and contributed to him not being re-elected. Tear into her like you would tear into an avg viewer on your show admitting that.
@ Negrito ~ I don’t think it’s about gaining new fans. I think it’s about garnering more attention. For who? I’m not really sure.
@ Brenden ~ My problem is not that Nick is “black”. I think the whole situation came out of no where. One day we hear about Nick being in her new video, the next day they’re dating and the day after that they’re married? Nick had been engaged to how many women in the past couple of years? Mariah is still so damaged over her marriage to Tommy that 10-11 years later she’s STILL singing about it? That doesn’t sound like a woman who’s gonna marry just any body. Those are my thoughts and that’s why I don’t buy into this what so ever. If they’re still married in 5 years, THEN I’ll believe it’s real. Other than that I’m just waiting for the announcement that they did have a “ceremony”, but it wasn’t legally binding or the annulment announcement.
well Oprah just confirmed that she spoke with Mariah and it is true, and the pics are on the cover of People mag. I don’t know how genuine the relationship is seeing how they only been dating a month or so. Gail King (Oprahs BFF) even mentioned the fact that they have not known each other long enough. Seems suspicious, but as we know time will tell!! All I wanna know is…Why corny, goofy as Nick Cannon, he’s cute but, they aren’t equally yoked. I wish them well but, we’ll see!!
I don’t know what to call this everybody in Hollywood is a joke anyways.Yeah MC married a black man with some bank and hell I’m not mad because Nick,Bow Wow just pulling the women a lot of guys want to see.I like Nick though he might make her laugh a lot, he might have shown her things she never seen.If this is a Publicity Stunt, who cares, that what celebrities do, it’s their job description despite otherwise.And if this is a stunt just imagaine (and yes I’m going to bring their name all up in this) Jigga/Bee relationship is one too, STRICTLY BUSINESS.
@Mia
I find it very hard to believe that Mariah would marry someone in order to try to get more attention. That doesn’t make any sense whatsover. Maybe she’s pregnant who knows. Anyway, they are married now so good luck to them.
Mia I know that some of us have different reasons for raising the eyebrow at her choosing nick to marry as I would raise an eyebrow if Whitney chose to marry Rayj. However I have to question the medias outrage. I’m sure many of us are clowning and it has nothing to do with Nick being Black,,,,,but why is the media clowning…CNN shouldn’t be worried about anything right now accept the latest primaries.lol. That’s my thing. If shed ran off with 1 of the lil white boys from gossip girl would they still be mentioning how she is worth a thousand times more than him…The media never passes up an opportunity to take jabs at us. And this seems like yet another case. Mariahs been nutty since glitter.lol. Let her do what she wants to do. Nick is grown let him do what he wants to do,,,,but to take jabs at his accomplishments??? He’s a legit celeb,,,whether he is blist, clist, whatever you want to call him he is legit. I remember watching dude on nickelodeon. I remember him in drumline. I thought his MTV show was pretty funny. It appears as he’s worked hard for his, so why are they mad…
@ brenden ~ I see where you’re coming from. I think the only reason his legitimacy came into play is because there were rumors of no prenup. Then everyone started talking about who’s worth what and what not.
Either way I’m sure Mariah and Nick are satisfied with the results they’re getting. People haven’t stopped wagging their tongues about this since it started (last week)
The people on Showbiz Tonight are giving their opinions just like all the rest of us. They didn’t give facts proving the marraige was a sham. Furthermore, the sista on the show downplayed Nick’s accomplishments drastically like he was some scrub instead of the youth icon that he has been since he was a tween.
This is not the first impulsive marraige after a whirlwind romance. Faith and Biggie got married after 9 days of knowing each other. Nick is a proven serial monogamist so I could see him falling hard and getting married. The only weird part is that he married a nut case like Mariah which leads me to believe that he may be a nut case himself. In any event, either it will work out or it won’t. I hope they enjoy every moment of what is probably intense new love.

I don’t know what to call this everybody in Hollywood is a joke anyways.Yeah MC married a black man .
I don’t get it. MiMi is black herself. Is it the fact that some did not know she was black or some just did not realize she likes black men also? Trying to figue out the big deal.
My skin is the same color as MiMi’s well she is alittle darker. I am what Sandra calls biracial. Looking at my skin it is safe to assume I am white, but if you ask me what I am I say black. I married a black man and have black kids.

LOL, I think you probably misunderstood what I said.I know that Mariah has black in her, and for that part I really don’t care if she was light skin,dark skin, who cares (IMO).It’s the fact of who she married because to me, it seems like they (and some on here) feel like she is too good for him or they not for each other and in reality nobody is too good for anybody.Oh well, whatever floats their boat.
Wow. Well, if they are married, and it appears that they are, I can’t see what reason either of them would have to fake it or that either would benefit whatsover from faking this. Mariah surely did not need to fake a marriage to sell records, and Nick was already doing just fine with his career too. Both of them are supposed to be big time Christians, and they have that in common so I guess they wanted to get married rather than keep on fornicating, hahahahaha. I guess we have Demi and Ashton to blame for this, but anyways hunny if it works for them, I say more power to the cougar and get you one too girl! lol Mariah has always been black, her father is black so what’s the big deal about her marrying a man that looks like her father? Emotionally Mariah has seemed lost; maybe Nick Cannon fills her up with love and this is what they both needed. He must be working with some serious mack and be able to put sumthin down in the bedroom, cause he stay baggin some chicks and marrying Mariah Carey surely was not easy to do; so give Nick credit he must have it going on. I haven’t followed his career so I have never understood what all the corny goofy accusations are about; all I can see is he seems like a gentleman and damn he is fine as fcuk so what’s the problem? LOL, Mariah prolly gettin it right now..get it yall and I hope you’re truly HAPPY. Fcuk the haters and do you, more of us should do the same!!!!!!!!!!! So congrats to them for following their hearts and minds telling them what is going to make them happy and what’s right for their lives…if it’s all true and I wish them beautiful babies soon cause Mimi bout to be 40! I know she’s been waiting for the right one, I hope its Nick Mariah, cause what matters is how he treats you not that you’re 40. I had a darling boy at 41 and girl at 44 but with a jerk, we are now divorced. So congrats to them, sorry this is so long but I love seeing beautiful BLACK love and that’s what this seems to be to me, nothing less nothing more…
I think it’s fake. If not, he was either cheating on the first girl with her or she’s a rebound. I feel in my heart that both have their reasons for doing this. I read this morning that they tied the knot I believe after only 6 weeks (strange). On another note, they both appear to have gotten tattoos, so who knows.
Another Michael J. and Marie P. case (just strange)! By the looks of the pic on People Mag, the happiness appears acted. Hopefully it wasn’t good sex that clouded their minds and made them jumped before really thinking. We’ve all been there. Someone whip it on you so good that you forget the reality of the entire situation. Until one day you woke up like, WHAT IN THE HELL!
Wow - guess I am just not looking hard enough because I heard not one single thing out of any one of those three people’s mouths that made me think they were hating on Nick because of his color.
STOP LOOKING FOR RACE ISSUES!!!!
This story made news because no one can see them as a legit couple. Not because of Nick being black and everyone being deluded that Mariah is “white”. Come off the damn race soapbox and stop looking for issues that aren’t there. It makes the REAL race issues not near as important as they should be, they get clouded in people screaming RACE on MC and Nick’s wedding/publicity stunt. Guess some people just can’t sleep at night unless they feel the WHITE MAN done them wrong for the day. What a sad life.
