From everyone at Mariah Hero.com, we'd like to wish our visitors the best for the new year! May all your dreams come true!

She played coy with Ellen DeGeneres...she refused to directly address rumors and published reports that she's pregnant, but now Mariah Carey has proven she is NOT expecting. How? By partying and living the good life on vacation in St. Barts as this RADAR photo proves!

Mariah was spotted drinking red wine and eating oysters the other day with husband Nick Cannon and friends. A glass of red wine now and again for a pregnant woman? Not out of the question. Oysters? We don't think so.

So the baby bump watch will clearly continue into the new year for Mariah fans. For now, though, drink up!

Would there be a Mariah Carey without Diana Ross? Carey's most obvious influences, Madonna, Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson, might be more closely connected to Ross, but there's no denying there's a familiar diva thread stitched into the fabric.

On E=MC2 (Island), Carey is pushing 40 but still working the sex-kitten angle that catapulted comeback disc The Emancipation of Mimi to the top of the charts. She's distancing herself from the mainstream songbird of her early years, while maintaining her status as the voice of the urban diva.

Anyone who remembers her first few albums must miss the Carey of old, who used to just open her mouth and sing. The formula for the new album is all about studio trickery and sharing the spotlight with unnecessary male guests, including T-Pain on "Migrate," Damian Marley on the pseudo-dancehall of "Cruise Control," Young Jeezy on "Side Effects," and Jermaine (please shut up) Dupree on "Love Story" and "Last Kiss." It's not all a total loss: the retro dance of "I'm That Chick" is a sexy treat that doesn't have to work too hard to be a delight, and in spite of an unfortunate title and chorus, "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" virtually glows.

She's had her fair share of drama... and now super-diva Mariah Carey’s extraordinary life is to be turned into a Broadway musical.

We can reveal that the biggest-selling female artist of all time has agreed to let her astonishing story be told on stage.

And we’ve heard that Mariah, 39, wants our very own Leona Lewis to play her. An insider told us: “Mariah’s not sure if she’ll star in it herself. If she doesn’t, names being tossed around include High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens and Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria. But Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her.

“Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.”

The American singer has been in talks about a forthcoming musical with Broadway bosses for months. But she only gave the show the green light after a heart-to-heart with hubby Nick Cannon on their Christmas holiday in Aspen.

A spokeswoman for the diva confirmed: “Mariah is in talks for a Broadway musical to be made about her life in 2009.”

Fingers crossed it will all be ready to coincide with her 40th birthday celebrations in March.

Any production, though, will not be short of drama – her incredible rise to fame will send shivers down fans’ spines, and the tear-jerking tale of her first marriage to music executive Tommy Mottola, about 20 years her senior, will have audiences reaching for their hankies.

Her reported breakdown in 2001 – when the singer was admitted into hospital after suffering emotional and physical exhaustion – could also feature heavily.

Afterwards Mariah said: “I was with people who didn’t really know me, and I had no personal assistant. I’d do interviews all day long, getting two hours of sleep a night... if that.”

Set to music, that could be so beautiful...

Despite rumors, Mariah Carey is still not pregnant.

In the last few days there have been more reports of light work out sessions, ultra sound tests, all kinds of things. There more reports of “booties” being knitted than Carey’s famous “booty” ever got.

Alas, I am assured by those close to her that still, no baby is in sight. Carey and young hubby Nick Cannon have been on vacation in Aspen and St. Bart’s. But photographs of Carey, who hasn’t been shy about getting in front of the cameras, reveal still a flat stomach on a pretty well toned body.

“It’s all still just rumors,” a Carey insider told me over the weekend. Of course, the light work out sessions could be because Carey is trying to get pregnant and just isn’t there yet. That would make sense.

So again, don’t log on to the Tiffany baby registry quite yet. Give Mariah some time!

Scientists have criticised Mariah Carey's mathematics skills, after she appropriated Albert Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula for an album title.

The singer called her recent album 'E=MC2', but rather than reference the famous equation, she declared the tile stood for "emancipation equals Mariah Carey times two".

Mathematician Dr David Leslie told BBC News that he was upset that the singer had had "misread the algebra".

"The 'two' in the equation means C squared, not MC multiplied by two," he explained. "The correct reading of the equation is E=MCC, so perhaps Mariah's re-interpretation should have been 'emancipation equals Mariah Carey Carey'?"

Carey has not commented on her slip-up, but she was one of several celebrities pulled up by charity Sense About Science about their misleading "scientific" claims.

MARIAH CAREY has a plan for that sad day when the pop charts no longer need her.

A few years ago she scooped the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s classic movie The Prince And The Showgirl.

She wants to turn it into a West End stage spectacular when time permits.

The diva told us: “I like the idea of doing it but it’s all down to the time – you have to commit for a rather long time and now is really hard for me. But it’s a dream that I want to achieve in the future.”

ASPEN, Colo., Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Pop singer Mariah Carey said she was excited to spend her Christmas holiday with her husband, actor Nick Cannon, in Aspen, Colo.

The "Glitter" singer said prior to the holiday season that spending Christmas with her new husband and her dog was an ideal situation for her, the Daily Mail reported Friday.

"I'm really looking forward to being in love on Christmas," Carey said.

"The holidays are always great, but being in love is going to be the icing on the cake."

The British newspaper said Carey has been an Aspen regular during the holiday season the last 10 years and now has shared that tradition with Cannon, whom she met at the 2005 Kids' Choice Awards.

"Aspen is all about the snow and the environment, so it automatically puts you in that celebratory mood," Carey said.

"I don't really do up my New York apartment for Christmas; I save everything for Aspen."

Decked out in color-coordinated outfits, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were spotted enjoying their romantic Colorado getaway on Tuesday (December 23).

The lovely pair snuggled as they explored the Aspen winter paradise with their pet pooch during a visit to Mariah's favorite jewelry store.

Meanwhile, Cannon's ex-girlfriend Christina Milian recently spoke about how "shocked" she was when she heard that Nick had married the "I Stay In Love" songstress.

"I was like, 'Really?' It just seemed like a weird match," Milian said, "But I was happy for him. I always feel like Nick works hard to get what he wants, whether that be women that's how he got me."

A big coup for a fashion designer is to have a celebrity wear his or her creations on the red carpet. And for an unknown designer, it could be the few seconds needed to launch a career.

Julian Contreras of San Jose is hoping for just that after a sketch of a gown he created for Grammy-award singer Mariah Carey was selected by Carey as the grand prize winner in a contest that drew 4,023 entries. Contreras' sketch will be transformed into a dress and worn by Carey at an event early next year, said Ashley Futak, a spokeswoman for Brickfish, a social media marketing company that sponsored the contest.

"Being a designer has always been my dream since I was 5 years old," said Contreras, 20, a Lincoln High School graduate and fashion student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. "I just can't believe I won."

Contestants were asked to create a dress that would incorporate Carey's new fragrance, Luscious Pink, and the singer's signature butterfly logo.

Contreras drew a form-fitting, mauve pink gown with an asymmetrical shoulder strap decorated with a sparkling pin. Carey last week raved about it on "Entertainment Tonight."

"It's a really, really great design," she said, while pointing to the sketch on the show. "I love a one-shoulder and I love the brooch here and how it's drapey on the top."

The grand prize means the Luscious Pink dress Contreras created will be made three times: once for the singer to wear, once for Contreras to keep in his own collection, and once as an auction item at a benefit for Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer awareness.

"I wanted to design something that would show off her figure and enhance her curves," said Contreras, who still lives in San Jose. He said it wasn't yet clear when Carey would wear the dress, but it's expected to be completed in the next three months.

Contreras' winning dress as well as the others can be viewed at www.brickfish.com/fashion.

Finding a mate in 2008: That was the theme for many celebrities as they hooked up with new partners and sealed the deal in undercover weddings:

Mariah and Nick: Mariah Carey found love again with Nick Cannon, an actor 11 years her junior. And Mimi wasted no time when it comes to affairs of the heart: She married the “Drumline” star at her Bahamian estate in April after just weeks of dating.

Like many celebrity couples, they shared (ahem, sold) their wedding album in People magazine, where they talked about tattooing their love for each other.

Carey, who sports a “Mrs. Cannon” tattoo on her back, has said that she and her so-called soul mate didn’t consummate their relationship before tying the knot.

The question of the day; is pop icon Mariah Carey pregnant? If you were standing outside an OB/GYN office on N. Crescent Blvd last week, you’d answer “yes.”

Sources say the multi-platinum artist ran out of a doctor’s office last week waving a sonogram then received cheers from her waiting family and friends.

The media’s suspected MiMi and Nick were with child weeks ago. First, photos surfaced of Mariah holding her stomach while on vacation with her hubby then the known-champagne-lover refused a sip of bubbly on her appearance on Ellen, claiming it was too early for champagne and the drink has too many calories?

Although the Cannons aren’t confirming the baby rumors, they aren’t denying them either.

In fact, Carey’s camp recently canceled her world tour. A spokesperson said, “A tour was discussed, but nothing was confirmed….. I have not been told she’s [Mariah] pregnant.”

This child will be the first for both of them. All of her fans (including myself) are excited for the newlyweds!

Singer Mariah Carey always knew she would marry her toyboy lover Nick Cannon - and insists the rapper/actor is her "soulmate".

The pop superstar wed Cannon in a secret ceremony in the Bahamas in April (08) after a whirlwind romance.

And she admits she knew from the moment they met that they would be man and wife.

She tells Hello magazine, "We kind of knew from the beginning that we were going to get married. It's hard to describe but we knew immediately.

"I know people are going to be like, 'There's no way!' but neither of us had any doubts that we were truly meant for each other. He is my soulmate."

Mariah Carey's popular Holiday anthem "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has broken another record.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is the best-selling seasonal ringtone of all time.

The classic record has been downloaded 37,000 times this week alone.

Released in 1994, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has re-entered the Billboard and UK singles charts three times (2000, 2005, 2006, 2008).

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" has moved well over 1.4 million copies since its release, not including ringtone sales.

If you've ever been to New York at Christmastime, you know that Macy's "Santa Land" is a big attraction, with thousands of children lining up to meet Santa each year.

But this year, people have been visiting Macys' stores across the country for another reason: to send letters to Santa as part of the company's "Believe" campaign.

For each letter received, one dollar is donated to the Make-a-Wish Foundation, an organization that helps grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.

And on Friday, Early Show viewers saw the foundation's work in action.

Nine-year-old Angelina Salaiz came all the way from Union City, Calif., and her special wish came true: she got to meet superstar Mariah Carey.

Angelina got to interview Carey, and Carey told co-anchor Julie Chen her thoughts on her own music!

Carey's latest single is "I Stay In Love," which was directed by her husband, Nick Cannon. Her latest album, "E=MC2," is over the platinum mark in the U.S.

The film "Tennessee," in limited release, features a song Carey wrote for the movie, "Right To Dream." Carey plays a waitress and budding singer in the film.

Enjoying New York City’s holiday cheer, Mariah Carey was spotted at CBS Studios for her appearance on “The Early Show” this morning (December 12).

The “Always Be My Baby” songstress was more than happy to work with Macy’s “Believe” Campaign and the Make-A-Wish Foundation by meeting with a very special fan who was showered with gifts.

As for the continually swirling rumors that she’s pregnant, Carey only added fuel to the fire by canceling an upcoming tour, sparking speculation that she’s expecting.

A source told press, “Costume designers and dancers were all called Wednesday and told the tour is off. Most were hysterically crying because they were relying on her for a paycheck this holiday season.”

Further fueling rumors that Grammy winner Mariah Carey is pregnant with her first child, Mimi has allegedly shelved plans for a scheduled world tour, sending a slew of dancers and crew members back to the unemployment line.

Carey has hinted to reporters that she is ready to start a family with her new husband Nick Cannon but has yet to confirm whether rumors she is expecting are true.

Rumors first started to fly when she turned down a congratulatory glass of champagne from talk show host and friend Ellen DeGeneres. The notorious fan of the bubbly simply said the champagne was too fattening.

When pressed to take a sip, she faked one, and then told DeGeneres that she never drinks before afternoon. Ellen responded by excitedly yelling, "You're pregnant."

Carey had previously said that she was keen on starting a family but to do it, she wouldn’t want to be working. The singer released an album, E=MC2, in April.

Pop singer Mariah Carey is stunned by US President-elect Barack Obama's win, and insists that the victory will change the world. In an interview to Hello! magazine, the "Hero" hitmaker admits that the historic win shows how far race relations in the U.S. have come in the last 50 years.

"I'm still so stunned by it. Obama becoming President is just the most incredible achievement," Contactmusic quoted her as saying. "My mom is Irish and my dad was African-American/Venezuelan, and when my parents got married they weren't allowed to be together in a lot of American states. It was illegal because they were an inter-racial couple."

"When I look at this, and I think about my grandmother, my great-grandmother and my mom, who was heavily involved in civil rights, it makes me tear up. It makes me so emotional as for once we did the right thing and everyone got involved. People saw past the race thing and the world seems better already. There's a real feeling of hope," she added.

Tour Plans Scrapped Due to Rumored Pregnancy?

Mariah Carey's pregnancy has forced her to scrap plans for an upcoming tour, says an insider. "Costume designers and dancers were all called Wednesday and told the tour is off," said the snitch.

Sony Music Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of Mariah Carey: The Ballads available on January 20, 2009. This definitive collection celebrates the voice and the career of one of the best selling and most award winning female artists in the world.

This is the first time that all of Mariah's most popular ballads have appeared on one CD, making it a truly ultimate collection of her extraordinary music.

Mariah Carey: The Ballads features 18 chart-topping hits including nine #1 fan favorites like: 'Hero,' 'Vision Of Love,' 'One Sweet Day (Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men)' and 'Dreamlover.'

Mariah Carey has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. She made her recording debut in 1990 with Columbia records, becoming the first recording artist to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Maybe it's just the huge, round head and the constant smile, but rumours persist that Mariah Carey will soon announce to the world that she is expecting a baby, and can you imagine how she'll dress the poor little mite? It's a rumour that keeps popping up every time Mariah seems to be carrying a few extra pounds (so every fortnight basically) but this time the New York Post have evidence. Well, sort of.

The paper says that 'spies' in LA saw the singer emerge from a doctor's office, though perhaps if they concentrated on proper spying like they're supposed to and not just watching celebrities then world security might be in a better state. The doctor in question just happens to be an obstetrician (spooky woooooh noises), in fact the same one who treated Minnie Driver, so clearly a man with an in depth knowledge of the downstairs buffets of the A-list community. If the report is to be believed (and that's an 'if' the size of an Mariah's head) then Mimi has hardly been discreet about the whole thing, leaving the doctor's office,

"Clutching what looked like a sonogram and being greeted by her entourage with cheers. She was ebullient."

I believe a sonogram is what we would call a 'scan' rather than a man who comes around to your birthday party and undresses before claiming you are his father. This time the rumour could be true, because it's certainly the first time the word 'ebullient' has been used in connection with Mariah Carey.

So tentative congratulations to Mariah and husband Nick Cannon. Nick, get ready for sleepless nights, tantrums and tears. Oh, you're probably used to it already.

Mariah Carey wants to have a wedding every year.

The 38-year-old singer - who wed 28-year-old Nick Cannon last April - is planning a lavish ceremony for their first anniversary, and one every year after that.

She said: "When we got married I was getting loads of calls from people asking, 'Is it a rumour? Is it true?' People were a little shocked but they were all very happy for us.

"We'll definitely get them involved in another celebration, though. "We've been talking about doing a bigger wedding on our first anniversary. And maybe another one every year."

Only eight people attended Mariah and Nick's low-key ceremony in the Bahamas, and the singer - known for her love of luxury and excess - insists it was perfect.

Mariah - who was previously married to record executive Tommy Mottola - added to Britain's Hello! magazine: "I wanted the opposite of what I did the first time.

Nick and I wanted it to be about us, no fuss, no worrying about everyone else's opinions. I can honestly say that my wedding to Nick was the most beautiful day of my life. For once it wasn't all about the hoopla."

Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon can barely contain his excitement at becoming a father.

The pair - who are rumoured to be trying for a baby - haven't confirmed their plans to start a family but keep dropping hints at the prospect of becoming parents.

Nick told Life & Style, "I've always been a kid person, from my work on Nickelodeon shows to just being a person who loves children.

"When you see a kid — that's innocence! It reminds you of all the good stuff the world has to offer."

And when quizzed about whether fatherhood scares him, Nick quipped, "I think I'll be good at it!"

Mariah Carey, hanging out with Nick Cannon following her performance on the Grammy Award nomination special.The singer and her hubby headed to Club Nokia for the official afterparty, celebrating the Grammy Museum's grand opening. And while Carey was low-key, her husband was possibly the most enthusiastic guest at the party. An onlooker says he could barely stay seated (in the VIP section) during a performance by The Time, snapping along and mouthing all the words. Later in the show, Cannon put his arms around his wife and serenaded her, singing along with the band to their song "Gigolos Get Lonely Too."

Another year, and more weird Grammy nominations from left field. You can count on it as a definite right up there with death and taxes.

The big disaster: all but total snub of Alicia Keys’s album, “As I Am.” It should have been in Best Album, Song and Record. Instead, Keys was relegated to Best R&B album, R&B vocal performance by a female, and her duet with the ubiquitous darling of the awards, John Mayer. That the Grammys chose to snub Keys—maybe the leading performer/writer of her generation—speaks volumes.

Second big disaster: not a single nomination for Mariah Carey or anything from her “E=MC2” album. Not even a throwaway nod in R&B. Just an outright, across the board snub. What’s worse: they put Carey through the agony of participating in the Grammy live telecast last night and then giving her nothing!

...Of course, there may be more to the snubs than meet the eye. In the cases of Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey, it could be a punishment for appearing on the American Music Awards last month, and accepting awards from them. There has long been an unwritten rule that if an artist did anything with the AMAs, owned by Dick Clark Productions and considered a minor rival, the Grammys wouldn’t allow you on their show.

She’s always thinking of creative ways to express herself, and at last night’s Grammy Nominations Concert in LA, Mariah Carey definitely didn’t disappoint.

The “Always Be My Baby” siren took the stage for a performance of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” in a show-stealing ensemble.

Mariah donned a short red sleeveless minidress teamed with a pair of super sexy white go-go boots as she gave one of the night’s most enjoyable performances, getting everybody in the Christmas spirit.

The night was hosted by Taylor Swift and LL Cool J and featured performances from Foo Fighters, Christina Aguilera, and Celine Dion.

With her glossy hair, perfect skin and tiny waist Mariah Carey looks truly sensational in the promotional shots for her new album The Ballads. So sensational in fact that it has led to questions about whether she has had a little help from an airbrush achieving the perfect look. The diva is known for her glamorous image, but in the newest photos she appears even more toned and slim than usual.

Mariah has been criticised in the past for her heavily doctored album covers, including The Emancipation of Mimi.

When the singer appeared on the front cover of Allure magazine in March it led to widespread discussion of the photo, and whether it had been digitally manipulated.

However, despite the criticisms, it cannot be denied that at the age of 38 Mariah is looking better than ever before. The star, who tied the knot with Nick Cannon in April, recently appeared on the X Factor, where she mentored the contestants.

Nick Cannon is reinventing the art of being a gentleman - last night he personally showed up to pick up his wife Mariah Carey after she was done having dinner with a guy friend.

The actor/director donned a black pinstripe suit and tie and took a limousine over to Beverly Hills eatery Mr. Chow to give the “Touch My Body” singer a ride home- what a guy! And it seems that Mr. Cannon has been scoring some serious points in the husband department as of late. He reportedly bought Mariah a $1.5 million luxury ski chalet in Aspen, Colorado as an early Christmas present.

A source told press, “Nick is clearly still in the honeymoon phase. He’s shocked all their pals by going out of his way to buy Mariah this beautiful sanctuary. He knows Aspen is one of her favorite places in the world so this is his early Christmas present to her.”

Pop diva Mariah Carey has been exciting fevered comment among online movie geeks as much as the usual goggle-eyed celebrity watchers this week.

The gossip is that the 38-year-old warbler with a five-octave range is "fuming" that her husband of seven months Nick Cannon has been blabbing about their pre-marital arrangements, which were, apparently, pure and chaste.

Celebritycafe.com reports: "After hearing Cannon's comments about the couple's pact to abstain from sex until they were lawfully named man and wife, the singer was furious because she thought he went too far."

Or didn't. Anyway: "Carey insists that it was not necessary for her husband to tell the world that [they] waited until their wedding night to have sex for the first time." Happily, some of the heat has been taken out of this scorcher of a story with the release of Carey's new single. The song features in her latest movie Tennessee, which is getting a limited screening in Los Angeles this month to ensure eligibility for next February's Academy Awards.

According to Pop & Hiss, the LA Times music blog, "Tennessee tells the story of two brothers who go off in search of their estranged father. Along the way, they run into Carey's Krystal, who is fleeing an abusive husband."

Krystal is an aspiring singer, affording Carey the opportunity to deliver her big number with Right to Dream, a soulful paean to optimism and self-empowerment. The sound is stripped back, with Carey - gentle, breathy, yearning - accompanied by little more than acoustic guitar.

And it will be the song, not Carey's onscreen performance, that will be getting the big Oscar push over the next few weeks.

Mariah Carey's new husband, Nick Cannon, has reportedly "shocked" his pals - by buying his superstar wife a $2million Aspen chalet.

The pair married in a secret ceremony on the Caribbean earlier this year.

And Nick, 28, was keen to show his bride how much he loved her - and bought her the property so she can go skiing without "the hassle of renting".

A source reveals, "Nick is clearly still in the honeymoon phase.

"He's shocked all their pals by going out of his way to nab Mariah this beautiful sanctuary.

"He doesn't want her to go to the hassle of renting. He knows Aspen is one of her most favourite places in the world so this is his early Christmas present to her."

Carey, 38, recently revealed she was planning to have children with Cannon.

She has said, "It's part of the whole purpose of getting married. I'd just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could."

Is Mariah Carey expecting something? Yes! Grammy nominations. But what about a baby? It seems not, at least for the moment. It doesn't mean that she hasn't been trying. Since she married much younger actor Nick Cannon last spring, the speculation is that Mariah would soon be pregnant.

Last week, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres kept prodding her about it in an interview. She even tried to get her to drink Champagne. When Mariah only sipped it, Ellen declared, "You're pregnant!" Well, there are plenty of other reasons not to drink on national television. But in this case, it wasn't pregnancy.

A friend of Mariah's laughed when I asked if the singing siren was knitting baby booties. "She isn't," the friend replied, and added that there was no sign of the stork yet. What Mariah may be expecting this week are Grammy nominations for her "E=MC²" album.

She's scheduled to be one of the hosts this Wednesday, December 3, on the Grammy's prime time show on CBS. She, Taylor Swift and LL Cool J will announce nominees in six of the top categories. Knowing the Grammys, they haven't asked Mariah to do it unless she's in good shape. "E=MC2" should pick up nods in Best R&B album, Best Pop album, and Best Female in both R&B and pop.
