Madge, Mariah and marriage

 
Mariah gets hitched and dukes it out with Madge, Britney goes home and the Brits are behaving badly... again!

 

I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be a huge publicity stunt, since it comes at SUCH a convenient time...

While promoting her new album E=MC2 Mariah 'Mimi' Carey and toyboy/boyfriend/fiancé/husband of about a week Nick Cannon, have gotten hitched! Mimi was rumoured to be seeing Nick, then all of a sudden they were 'rumoured' to be engaged after she was spotted wearing a huge piece of bling (apparently the same ring he used to propose to his ex doll – how classy)and before you could say publicity stunt they were married! AND it's true! There is even a wedding pic to prove it and confirmation from the pair in People AND it's a valid union – the couple obtained a marriage license on the Caribbean island of Eleuthera where they tied the knot at Mimi's mansion. Mimi told people magazine that "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me."

On Wednesday Mrs. Cannon appeared on Oprah to chat about it all! Although the loved-up pair have been together for only 6 weeks (good lord!), it wasn't a quickie wedding. And no, she ain't preggers (how very un-Hollywood of her)! Apparently the preparations for the big day were very much organised, with Mimi getting all Bridezilla on the crowd. And despite rumours that there was no prenup because there wasn't time, Mimi did in fact learn from Paul McCartney and made Nick sign one. Bummer for him, Mimi's keeping her millions. Despite the quickie wedding publicity, it ain't doing anything for Mariah's album sales. Madge is kicking her ass with her Hardy Candy album, especially after the Material girl sucked face with one of her female dancers while performing in Paris! Whatever, Madonna. That dancer sure ain't no Britney.

And one of my favourite actresses, the lovely Scarlett Johansson, got engaged this weekend to her boyfriend of a year, the super-hot Ryan Reynolds. Congrats to the pair. Scarlett's pal, designer Stella McCartney has already offered to design her wedding frock and other celeb pals couldn’t be happier for the pair. Someone who sure won't be happy is Ryan's ex fiancée Alanis Morisette... hope she doesn't channel her pain into another Jagged Little Pill type album, angry rock chick is so 90's.

Britney and the baby...
I'm back ya'll! That's right people, Britney went back to her hickstown, I mean hometown, of Kentwood Louisiana after staying away for a whole year. What was the occasion? Well. it was little miss momma-to-be Jamie Lynn's baby shower. The sisters were reunited after months apart. So emotional! Jamie is expected to pop on June 29th and is reportedly having a little girl! Good lord, another girl Spears, just what the world needs. Jamie's baby-daddy Casey Aldridge, who is STILL refusing to sign a prenup, is rumoured to be crapping himself over his impending fatherhood... can't say I blame him, he's just a kid himself! The little girl's name is apparently going to be Tear Lynn (after her mamma)... please say is isn't so! With the Spears luck it may turn out to be prophetic.

Brit is back on the set of How I Met Your Mother and all is going fabulously. And in other happy Britney news, this week she went to court to review the custody situation her two little boys. Because of Brit's fantastic progress and effort, she was awarded more time with her celebutots! Yay. The details are very hush hush and how much more time she is getting has been kept private. I am so happy for Brits!

And speaking of babies, bucks and first pics, Usher (whatever happened to him?) and his sugar mommy (well she doesn't really have the loot so it doesn't quite count) wife had a little boy recently... whom they named Usher, how original. Anyhow when asked about the baby pics he said the rumors that he's trying to "pimp" out his baby are untrue and hurtful. He told Page Six, "In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money. I am livid that people talk about my child". That's quite hectic. JLO is going to be furious!

And the world's most anticipated arrival, the Brangelina 'twins', are now reportedly two girls and not a boy and girl as previously reported. We await with bated breath!

Brits behaving badly
Pete Doherty and Amy Crackhouse go together like peas and carrots or in their case heroin and crack cocaine. The badly behaved Brits have been up too no good as per usual! Pete, who has been in the slammer, was released on Tuesday after serving just 29 days of his 98 day sentence. But wait, there's more. The obvious druggie was given a certificate saying he's clean and drug-free! THEY LIE. Apparently he was shooting up while in the chookie! Suits him. Anyhow Pete, after a massive drunk binge I am sure, is scheduled to play a concert at London's Royal Albert Hall and has persuaded Ams to join him on stage for a duet. Now that should be interesting to watch but it may not happen since Amy got herself into even more trouble this past week.

Miss Crackhouse was once again arrested on Wednesday in connection with the January 2008 video where she was caught smoking crack cocaine and talking about taking Valium. Back then Amy entered rehab... big help that was. Amy is becoming quite the regular jailbird after she spent the night police custody after being cautioned for "common assault," aka head butting some dude in Camden. And in her personal life she is also having a spot of drama. Her career is in the toilet at the moment. Amy was offered the coveted chance to write and perform the song for the new James Bond flick... but she was so messed up, she couldn't even finish it. She is also rumoured to have split from her jailbird husband Blake Fielder-Civil and is now dating her assistant, Alex Haines. Blakey boy has also got himself a new stukkie. His new chick, who he calls Tickles (Wtf?) comes and visits him (unlike his loving wife, then again who could blame her after he was selling raunchy pics of her crack) and together have apparently been plotting his escape during secret prison visits. How dramatic! Blake also wants a $6 million divorce pay day from Amy! They are soooo Romeo and Juliet on crack... hope it doesn't end up the same way.

Celeb lineup
Jennifer Aniston is romancing singer John Mayer, who is also a bit of a manwhore... he has been with everyone, Jessica Simpson and Cammie Diaz to name a few. The couple were all loved up in Miami recently... hopefully it works out for Jen this time. The poor girl needs some luck. It cannot be easy with Brangelina around.

Old Lindsay 'Firecrotch' Lohan is trying to do a Britney and revive her dying career/raise some bucks by also doing the 'guest appearance'. Linds is set to appear on the Ugly Betty season finale with a possibility of returning next season. Obviously the 'Lindsay leggings line' ain't working out. Betty watch your back!

After 3 years of being stalked by a whacko fan, Uma Thurman can rest easy. Her stalker Jack Jordan, who rocked up to her house and movie sets and sent her some scary stuff, has been sent to jail. Good riddance.

Was so sad to hear that Liv Tyler and her husband of 5 years, Royston Langdon, are splitting up. They were such a lovely couple.

And this is some really sad news and a warning to celeb parents. Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of the cracked-out Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, recently attempted suicide by slashing her wrists and was rushed to hospital, she is thankfully ok. But not before trying to stab her own mom. Shame, the 15-year-old needs some help and stability in her life. Good luck to her!

I so enjoy reading these columns. It's women24's best thing by far.

I really think you should stop with this Firecrotch business. You know a crotch is a vagina and really your remark counts for all woman with red hair. Paris Hilton's ex druggie friend started with this story.

Lynni, get over yourself. There is always a wet blanket like yourself. It;s damn funny and EXACTLY what a gossip column is meant to be.
