Mariah Carey almost had birthday babies! The singer rushed to the hospital last night because she started having contractions, but it turns out her twins weren't quite ready to make their debut.

She tweeted in the flurry of rushing to the ER: "really wanted 2 celebrate w/us/share the anniversary! I started having contractions last night..went 2 the hospital."

Ms. Carey later wrote: "They almost came on 3/27- happy anniversary in deed!!! We have a few more weeks 2 go but- wow!!!: ) #soreadyallready!"

(We'd like to note that Mariah's birthday is March 27, not her anniversary, but, hey, whatever!)

Her hubby Nick Cannon is gearing up for the birth of the babies, and is a little nervous about the big day. He tweeted last week: "I am probably going to faint in the delivery room! I need to man up! Or maybe I should say WOMAN UP since they are the ones that have to be the strongest in the whole ordeal! I am in awe of my wife!"

Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon are expecting twins at the end of next month, and they celebrated their impending new arrivals with a baby shower.

Pals including talk show host Piers Morgan, American Idol judge Randy Jackson and director Brett Ratner gathered at the Conservatory Grill at the Montage hotel last Sunday for the occasion, and the couple were thrilled by the generosity of their friends.

Mariah said: "I'd never been to a baby shower. This was my first one -- it was so festive!

"Nick and I were so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate with us. It was a night I will never forget."

Guests at the party were treated to Mariah’s own brand of champagne, Angel, and dined on gourmet pizzas and a selection of other delicacies.

The venue was decorated in pink and blue, with everything including balloons, flowers, napkins and even the waiters’ aprons decked out in the colors.

A six-foot long gift table was set up at the venue and filled with outfits, cuddly toys and books, with the couple singling out a specially-made gift from her fans as their favorite.

Mariah, 41, told the new issue of Life & Style magazine: "There was a lot of love in the room, and to top it off, fans from more than 50 countries sent well-wishes and stories in a book they made for our twins titled ‘Always Be My Babies,’ which was the sweetest gesture in the world.”

Mariah Carey was lavished with gifts during her baby shower at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, and she received an extra-special book created by her fans, whom she calls her "lambs."

Mariah -- who is expecting a twin boy and girl with husband Nick Cannon -- wrote on her website: “Still haven't really opened all the gifts but seeing so many people who came from all over the world to be there with us was the BEST gift we could ask for!

“The ‘Always Be My Babies’ 'Lamb Book' is definitely my new prized possession and I can't thank the Lambs around the world enough for your letters and well wishes.”

The book’s cover shows a blue and a pink baby carriage and has family photos of the singer and Nick. Inside are short letters and poems her fans have written to the babies.

Mariah, 41, added: "We so had a 'moment' in the middle of the shower when they presented the book to me and everyone thought it was the cutest, most thoughtful thing ever!

"It was the best moment of the night. I can't wait for the twins to read the messages and feel the love!"

Other gifts Mariah received included two giant stuffed giraffes, a pair of handmade chairs and a $2,000 custom-made bedding set for a crib.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's twins haven't been born yet, but the couple is already splurging on the little ones. Apparently they've turned a whole wing of their home into a fully equipped nursery with all the bells and whistles you can imagine.

A source said: “Mariah and Nick have converted a whole wing of their Beverly Hills house into a luxury nursery. Mariah wanted 18-carat gold trim with ivory walls, soft furnishings and walk-in wardrobes full of Petit Tresor designer clothes. There’s a top-of-the-range sound system and they’ll each have diamond-encrusted iPods and a flatscreen TV that comes down from the ceiling.”

Among the items the couple have splashed out on for their son and daughter are Chelsea sleigh cribs costing $2,200 each and a Clara changing table, which has a price tag of $2800, while the nursery will also be furnished with $2,270 Glam Glider chairs for Mariah and Nick – and a $1 million sofa.

The source added to Now magazine: “Mariah and her designer Kenneth Bordewick are overseeing every detail. There’s a $1 million red-crushed velvet, 24-carat gold and onyx sofa used for Michael Jackson’s shows. It’s very ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with swags on the back. It might seem over the top, but Mariah has waited a long time for her baby dreams to come true and she says the twins will be the most spoilt kids on the planet.”

Mariah Carey Expecting a Boy ...

 AND a Girl!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who are expecting twins this spring, are having a boy and a girl, a source confirms. The best of both worlds, you could say!

The parents-to-be have been cautious about revealing too many details about the babies since the pair had a "long journey" to parenthood, Cannon said.

But he and Mariah Carey are preparing for the arrival of the twins' by "decorating and designing" the babies' nurseries – one in Los Angeles and one in NYC.

The parents-to-be are coming down the home stretch.

Meanwhile, Cannon says that his wife is in nesting mode, has been cooking up a storm and trying to stay active with daily swims. Stay healthy, Mariah Carey!

Mariah Carey Feels The Love

 Mariah Carey Feels The Love

Mariah Carey has felt nothing but love from the public, ever since she announced her pregnancy to the world. The singer, who is expecting twins, with husband Nick Cannon says that people’s good wishes have been a huge boost to her during the pregnancy.

“Obviously I’m very thankful for this moment. Since Nick and I made our announcement, people have been very congratulatory.
“We didn’t really want to talk about this yet, but I’m in the public eye and really didn’t have a choice.

“So I’m just thankful I can go through this time and feel a lot of warmth. It’s restored my faith in people a bit.”

I’m so excited for these little ones to be born. For some reason I’m getting the feeling that they’re going to be tiny little diva babies! I can’t wait to see how Maria and Nick dress them once they’ve made their big arrival.

Mariah Carey Addresses Twins Rumor; Talks Holiday Plans

 Mariah Carey Addresses Twins Rumor; Talks Holiday Plans

Mariah Carey shares that her pregnancy hasn’t changed her healthy eating habits, but it is changing her plans for the holidays. The mom-to-be shared with Extra that she and Nick won’t be ringing in the New Year in Aspen, as they have done in the past:

“I can’t go there this year because of the altitude,” she says. “We’re figuring it out. Looking at different options.”

Mariah shared that her eating habits have remained healthy so far:

My taste bud situation is unparalleled…” she says. “I don’t know what it is, but I’m just about fruit for some reason. It has to be really good for me to like it.”

Mariah reportedly slipped up and referred to her baby as “they”, which caused a flurry of rumors stating that she’s expecting twins. The singer didn’t do anything to confirm or deny it, simply saying:

“I’m not telling anyone!”

Good way to keep everyone guessing.

Mariah Carey Having Twins! The Singer Slips With News

 

 Mariah Carey Having Twins! The Singer Slips With News

Mariah Carey is having twins! The singer was being interviewed by Radio Disney’s Ernie D and used the word THEY instead of HE or SHE.

“I just hope that they don’t turn out hating Christmas!”

Mariah Carey COULD be trying to avoid saying the gender of her child of course, but most outlets are agreeing that this was a slip up.


What do you think? Did Mariah Carey just admit that she’s having twins with Nick Cannon? It’s definitely a possibility! Considering the fact that the singer – who announced her pregnancy last month - isn’t going to hire a nanny, I’d say she is going to have her hand FULL.

Mariah Carey Explains Her Weight Gain

Mariah Carey Explains Her Weight Gain

After months of tabloid-speculation and endless ‘is she or isn’t she…?’, Mariah Carey recently revealed that yes, she is pregnant. The diva says that her weight gain was mostly caused by progesterone:

“I put my body through like a whole kind of cleansing kind of situation and prepared.”

“I had to be on progesterone. I did end up being on progesterone like every month to go through the cycles — especially after going through the operations and stuff.
“And then, you know, because it sort of helps seal the pregnancy, but it also bloats you, it also puts on weight,” she added. “So then everybody was like, ‘Oh the weight gain, she’s definitely pregnant!’ And I’m like, ‘Well, at some point I was.”

… says Mariah in a recent interview.

All the best to her!

Hollywood Gears Up for Halloween 2010

Hollywood Gears Up for Halloween 2010

The Halloween holiday is less than a week away, which means that plenty of celebrity hosted parties featuring costume-clad Tinseltown revelers are just around the corner.

With stars such as an angelic Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon to a superhero/peacock pair-up by Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz among the sightings last year, Hollywood's biggest names are certainly making preparations to outdo themselves once again this time around.

As for the masses, the most popular costumes on the market in 2010 include "Twilight," "True Blood" and "Vampire Diaries" inspired vampire ensembles with Captain Jack Sparrow driven pirate outfits also selling quite well.

Noting that not every costume needs to be all that much work, costume designer Loren D. Bracewell told TampaBay.com that "a Tiger Woods costume is as handy as the nearest polo shirt and golf club."
"You want to be recognizable, but you want to give it your own touch," he added. "Let your imagination run wild." (Hollywood Gossip)
