Mariah's struggles with her new record and Nick's attempt at having a career outside Mariah's shadow and his love for all female attention have caused a lot of the split. There are also rumors about Mariah's recent injury and how it may have occurred because she has fallen back into her Glitter days which were a low point in her life.
The couple primarily speak to each other through third parties and generally only about money and the kids.
What I think is that Mariah got married because she thought she was expected to and the thought of kids sounded fun and needed someone to have them with and Nick would be a good guy. A decent earner she wouldn't have to support him but also he had enough of the puppy love thing going where he catered to Mariah. he got tired of the diva-ness and she got tired of the lack of attention and those things turned to animosity and the only thing saving their marriage at this point is Mariah not wanting to be embarrassed or deal with it and Nick not getting caught with someone else.
That's too bad! I figured he was her toyboy after Mottola, but it would be a shame if she was back on substances. They gave off about as much chemistry as a broken light bulb.
ReplyDeleteAfter Mottola? That was like 2 decades ago.
Delete@Folly: Yes, so she did her time and now she gets somebody she actually likes. Or likes to order around. Something like that.
DeleteI liked them together. He seemed to be a calming force for her. Hope they can work things out.
ReplyDeleteI guess its official-Nick likes women more than money. Whatever floats your boat.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for a WildnOut MiMi reveal weekend. :/
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope Eminem has something to say about this.
ReplyDeleteWell that sucks
ReplyDeleteIf they broke,i guess it will NOT be nasty because they seem to care about their kids
ReplyDeleteThey were an odd couple to me, but I did root for those crazy kids.
ReplyDeleteTalk to me about the Glitter days. What were the low points?
I caught Nick Cannon in one of the epis of the Real Husbands of Hollywood - I think that's what it was called. He was really funny in it. That show made me laugh. I need to watch it more religiously if it resurfaces.
Never like hearing about celebrities not spending time with their chitlins. Why is it that having children brings all of us regular folk back to earth, but so many celebrities can't get over themselves. Well, at least the twins will have a lot of money. If your parents are good for something, at least they can foot the bill for your education, world travels and counseling.
Susan, that show is hilarious, but Nick has a small part. I love how they kid him about Mariah's money.
DeleteNick and Mariah have the same cringey chemistry as Lisa Marie and MJ. But, I don't want to see them split. I think Mariah will be the one to suffer the most. She'll be in every tabloid with boobs and ass hanging out trying to pretend she's still 30.
@Marieeee
ReplyDeletewhy not Kim Kardashian also? who cares about their ex's opinions?
Because Eminem makes good music and his songs about Mariah are great. Haha
DeleteSurprised by that. On another note, Danielle and her hubby Jonas are on the cover of fit pregnancy magazine. Hardly a move to make if u are faking the pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteThat's sad. I think Enty is right about all this. I guess kids will be alright with nannies.
ReplyDeletewhat about dem babies!
ReplyDeleteCouples that renew their vows every year always divorce. Case in point. Anyway, I liked them together too. :(
ReplyDeleteMorning Derek, What Happened To Your Name?
ReplyDeleteThis makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteInteresting Enty is the only site reporting an official breakup. This story is full of opinion and no real fact or even a link to an actual story. The only thing from today is a radar online story about how they haven't been photographed. Seems lie them breaking up would be bigger news.
ReplyDeleteIf this is true, I am weirdly bummed about it. I dunno, I just like them together.
ReplyDeleteNick is actually pretty talented. I saw 'Drumline' recently and he was great.
ReplyDeleteDivas seem to have unhappy love lives. Britney, JLo, Madonna, Gaga, Katie Perry, and now Mariah. Old-school divas, too, like Maria Callas.
RadarOnline already has a story speculating about them splitting.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted them to work. I have no idea why. I just really like them both. And their kids are adorable.
ReplyDeleteNick is rolling in piles of his own cash, I don't think he will be suffering without Mimi's help. There was one ep of Real Husbands where the guys were giving him shit saying Mariah paid for everything and Nick whipped out a Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Wild N' Out, and some other cards, I don't remember.
ReplyDeleteI always get them confused with JLo and Casper.
ReplyDeleteRadar Online wants to spill the beans today.. it s true unfortunately
ReplyDeleteNutty - divas or independently successful women? Not many people get to marry for love, sadly.
ReplyDelete@Reno-Yes, everyone I know who has renewed their vows ended up getting divorced. One couple, friends of my in-laws, were married for 20 years, renewed their vows in a big church wedding, and got divorced the next year. Nick and Mariah were trying to convince themselves it was real I suppose.
ReplyDeletethat's going to just ruin the Real Husbands show......crap-that stuff is funny
ReplyDeletei think it will be hard for Mariah to ever be happy with a mate long term-sad though
thought they might have actually been the real deal
He should get a medal for riding that crazy train as long as he did.
ReplyDeleteIf Mimi and Nick can't make it work then who can? A diva and a hangeron ought to be able to go the distance.
ReplyDeleteShe's a major drunk, isn't she? I saw on some site that her kids have the facial signs of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how he put up with her this long. She's a mess.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, her kids definitely look "off". I would not be surprised if she drank while pregnant.
Ah I love Mimi
ReplyDeleteThey are an odd couple, but I'm actually shocked.
ReplyDeleteI thought they understood each other- she as big diva baby, he was workaholic. And yeah, she has no idea what t do with her kids, except dress them up for pics. She's really an idiot. If its not about her, shes not interested.
ReplyDeleteThey've split? Really? I guess Nick didn't know that when he was singing her praises on Access Hollywood Live last Friday.
ReplyDeleteAhh this makes me sad ;(
ReplyDeleteI hope it's just a rough patch & they pull through. I never thought he was there for the money.
ReplyDeleteWhat will he do with that GIANT back tattoo that says MARIAH?
ReplyDeleteI like Nick Cannon and think he's adorable. I actually liked them together.
I like Nick. She is batshit crazy. I kind of thought he would be good for her. Sads.
ReplyDelete@TalksTooMuch
ReplyDeletehey lady..
I just got a new gmail account for resume/work etc so it appears differently---I dont think anyone would bother imposing as me haha
@Derek: that's good then! You jus cain't never tell these days, what with fake counts and multiple unknowns
ReplyDeleteThey're an odd pairing but it seemed like he made her really happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm with the count on this one. The guy deserves a medal. I can't imagine that constant diva bull shit he had to put up with. Enough to tear your hair out! Diva baloney gets OLD.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that all of a sudden Mariah and her girls were everywhere and wondered what was up.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad about this for some reason. I like that he didn't sit around and do nothing but kept working at his career separate from her.
I thought this would work.
You forgot to mention her daily drunkenness.
ReplyDeleteI want some Mariah blinds to be revealed. Maybe i shold do it.
ReplyDeleteThe National Enquirer had an article saying Mariah was dancing with Da Brat and sitting on her lap. The article seemed to confirm lesbian rumors.
Her own sister called her a high class prostitute who went after a then married Tommy Mattolla.
This site has an old blind about a popular female singer who did not do her own singing. If I remember right, the woman doing the actual singing was a client of Enty's. I believe it to be Mariah. The few women who can sing in the whistle register have been able to maintain their voices. Patti LaBelle and Stephanie Mills are much older than Mariah but sing much better. When was the last time you heatd of a Mariah Carey concert tour?
