Girlfriend is going to get whiplash if she keeps turning around this fast.  A few weeks ago, Mariah Carey declared that she would feel “violated” if she became pregnant, but now says that she’d love to have a little bun in the oven:

The Hero singer said: “It’s (having children) part of the whole purpose of getting married.

“I’d just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could.”

The pair expressed their love for one another in the most modern of romantic gestures, by getting tattooed:

Speaking for the first time about their speedy marriage to American magazine People, Mariah revealed she had got a ‘Mrs Cannon’ tattoo before the nuptials, with Nick getting a simple ‘Mariah’ etching.

He proposed to her in a surprisingly fitting manner for her personality…by using a kiddie candy ring (which was actually kind of cute, imo):

Nick proposed to Mariah on April 26 on the roof of her Manhattan apartment as they watched a lighting display on the Empire State Building to celebrate the success of her new album E=MC2.

He surprised Mariah by presenting her with a kids’ ring pop candy ring, which had a £1.25million, 17 carat diamond ring hidden inside the plastic casing.

Nick said: “She ran away and got all shy.”

During a helicopter ride over the city later that night, Nick proposed again and Mariah finally accepted.

And by the way, those rumors that she didn’t have a prenup?  Rubbish, according to her:

Mariah apparently told a mutual pal of ours: “Anyone who thinks we didn’t have a prenup is smoking something!”

Hmm.  Quickie wedding, sudden u-turn on having kids?  I think she’s in the club.

Don’t you just love that “Oh my goodness, how embarrassing to be caught out, let me put my hand with the enormous ring on it up to my face in an attempt to look properly shy” look she’s rocking in the photo?  Nick just looks…shellshocked.  He’s got to learn how to work it like Mimi if he’s gonna roll with her.  She’s gonna go home and beat him with one of her zillions of shoes for screwing up her photo op.

Placing bets on how long this lasts?  Either way, Nick Cannon is set for life.  (I still wonder if she lets him use the Hello Kitty bathroom!)  I hope he gets used to catering to her every whim, however…there’s no way she’d ever let anyone upstage her.

And get this…she done went and got hitched without a prenup, to a man eleven years younger than she is.  Yes, reports are that Mariah and Nick Cannon got married yesterday, and nobody even saw it coming:

Carey married TV actor Nick Cannon at the home she just bought in Eleuthera in the Bahamas, a source close to the singer said.

“They have been smitten with each other for days, weeks,” the friend said. “And she’s always had a crush on him.”

And about that absent prenup thing?  Apparently, they were in too much of a rush to get married to worry about it:

“Everyone is happy to see her happy,” Carey’s friend told The Post. “And it could work out - some people know each other for five years and get divorced. Maybe this is true, instant love.”

Not everyone is so over the moon.

“There was no prenup - there wasn’t time,” said another worried source.

You’d think that someone who has been around the business as long as Mariah has (and with one divorce already under her belt) would know better than to get married without a prenuptial agreement.  If they were able to keep things under wraps so well thus far, then what was the big rush?  I might say it’s the tried-and-true reason that most people rush weddings (that Cannon shot her full of lead, if you get my drift), but everybody knows that she’d feel too “violated” to get pregnant.   And we wouldn’t want to steal the spotlight from Mariah, would we?  Stock up on those Trojans now, Nick!

I don’t care about the age difference thing, but for someone as wealthy as Mariah to marry without a prenup is pretty foolish.  She’s been through this once…she should know that sometimes it isn’t always “true love”.

Well, I hope Nick can learn to sleep in a room where there are twenty humidifiers surrounding the bed.  That is, when he isn’t lining her path with scented candles and a red carpet.  Wonder if she’ll let him use the Hello Kitty bathroom?

Good luck, buddy…you’re gonna need it.

Over the weekend, Giants Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning done went and got himself married up to his long-time girlfriend Abby McGrew:

Giants quarterback Eli Manning wed his college sweetheart Abby McGrew during a beachfront ceremony at sunset Saturday.

About 60 loved ones flew to Mexico to join Manning and his bride for the intimate ceremony at the One & Only Palmilla, a swank resort along the Sea of Cortez on the Baja Peninsula.

Manning, 27, and McGrew, 24, exchanged vows while standing on a platform in the sand as waves crashed over rocks behind them.

The family was on hand to wish the happy couple well, including Super Bowl-winning brother Peyton, who offered some words of encouragement before the ceremony.

It seems that the whole event was laid-back, enjoyable, and fun for everyone:

Hours before the ceremony, Manning worked out pre-wedding jitters, hitting the gym by 10 a.m., running furiously on the treadmill, lifting weights and doing push-ups for an hour and and a half.

During the rest of the day, the Super Bowl MVP and his bride stood by the old adage that the groom not see the bride the day of the wedding. […]

Manning’s parents, Archie and Olivia Manning, were overjoyed to see their youngest son get hitched.

Archie gave a heartfelt toast Friday night before a rehearsal dinner in front of the resort’s old Spanish Mission Chapel, getting tears in his eyes as he raised his glass.

Manning and McGrew met when they were students at Ole Miss. He proposed last March during a quiet date in Hoboken.

The couple is famously low-key and kept their wedding plans under wraps until just last week.

Wedding guests remarked all weekend about how relaxed Manning had made the celebration for all of them.

Good for them.  I’m happy for Eli, whom most people wrote off as a QB while he was still trying to find his footing with the Giants.  Say what you will about the Mannings (yeah, people have, and I’m sure more will in response to this post), at least we don’t see photos of them splashed across every newspaper and sports section in the land for all the wrong reasons.  When was the last time you saw either Peyton or Eli in the news for drunk driving, or being busted for drugs, or for beating up their wife/girlfriend?  They seem to have settled down since college (like most people do) and all you hear about now are either their prowess on the football field or their philanthropy works.

And face it…it’s refreshing to see a famous couple who don’t need to get over themselves.  Rumor is the wedding set Eli back about $500,000, which by celeb wedding standards is pretty modest.  And spending the day floating around in the pool with your buddies while your big brother tells embarrassing stories about your youth sounds to me like any good ol’ boy’s wedding, not some stuck-on-himself overinflated-ego jock who believes the world revolves around them just because they can throw a football.  It’s a nice palate cleanser.

Best wishes to the happy couple!
