We got the inside word on what Nick Cannon was REALLY doing in the Hello Kitty store. He wasn't shopping for his new bride Mariah. Actually he ducked in there to avoid paparazzi that were following him. He wanted to throw them off the track and get rid of them before he left for his and Mariah's wedding party at Magic Mountain. Nick had already sold all the media rights to ET and he didn't want any maverick snappers to spoil the lucrative deal. We love TMZ's revelation that Nick and Mariah were chauffeured around the park in a pink golf cart- accompanied by her hairstylist and makeup person.

Mariah Carey showed off her new husband Nick Cannon in New York the other night. She has never looked happier - and look- no SPANDEX! The pair, who did not have a pre-nup, haven't had time to pick up a marriage license in the US, so the island wedding isn't legal yet. That leaves plenty of time for those pre-nup discussions. They're expected to fly to LA this weekend and have a wedding blowout for their west coast friends who couldn't make it to the ceremony. Just fifty or sixty people at a private home.

Things are moving AWFULLY fast for Mariah Carey. We broke the news that she was secretly dating Nick Cannon a month ago and it was last week before anyone else caught on. Just days ago the engagement rumor surfaced when Mariah flashed a giant diamond ring that Nick gave her. The ring is EXACTLY the same as the publicized million dollar ring that Nick gave to his LAST fiancee, model Selita Ebanks, who gave it back after they split. Before Mariah realized she had a second hand ring, she was swept off to a tropical island where it is rumored they impulsively got married yesterday. We're thinking that IF it happened, it was not a legally binding ceremony because there was no time for a pre-nup. Nick IS the ideal antidote for Mariah's dismal marriage to her older ex music mogul Tommy Mottola. Where Tommy was older and controlling, Nick is younger than Mariah, and fun-loving.
Back on April 2, our readers were the first to know about Mariah Carey's secret romance with Nick Cannon. (Even The National Enquirer picked up our scoop.) Their exuberant relationship has been developing as well as their working relationship. Nick started collaborating with Mariah when he was asked to do a cameo in her video and he ended up as director. Mariah has been without a boyfriend for along time - for awhile she was dropping hints that she was secretly dating an industry mogul but that was just to save face. Nick was engaged to lingerie model Selita Ebanks, but that ended months ago. Nick has had a crush on Mariah for a long time but never had the opportunity to act on it until the video happened. He loves to buy his girlfriends expensive jewelry (note Mariah's ring) so apparently he's not hard up for money AND he knows how to keep a diva happy. Nick and Mariah are hot and heavy together in New York right now, but she won't be posing for photos with him.... until they're good and ready.

Sneaky little Mariah Carey is getting romantic with MTV's Nick Cannon and doesn't want anyone to know! Mariah, 38, has known Nick,27, for years, and she asked him to do a cameo in a video for her "E=MC2" album. They started spending time together working on the video script and they got VERY close. Sparks flew and the next thing she knew, Mariah had promoted Nick from a cameo in her first video, to DIRECTOR of her second video! They were both at Butter in New York the other night but keep up the charade of "just friends." She's been flying around promoting her album so they secretly hook up whenever they can.
