VIDEO PREMIERE: MARIAH CAREY - "TRIUMPHANT (GET 'EM)" FT. MEEK MILL & RICK ROSS

Still from Triumphant (Get 'Em)

She quite literally has never looked better and although I don't think I wound-up loving Mariah's new Single Triumphant (Get 'Em) as much as I thought I would, how can I not support one of my all-time Faves? The Track was inspired by Husband Nick Cannon as he was undergoing his health struggles due to Kidney Failure.

This newly-released Clip sees Mariah sauntering about as a sexy Ring Girl in the Boxing Ring. Believe me, Boxing has never been this bling. Ever.

Although the back-lit theme already was seen in Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi era, she still looks superb. The Track still has yet to crack the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, although hopefully this is just a Teaser of We Belong Together-worthy excitement to come. Mariah really needs that 19th #1 Single for the sake of the Lambs!

NICK CANNON HOSPITALIZED FOR MILD KIDNEY FAILURE OVER THE HOLIDAYS

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon

Only a few months ago, the roles were reversed. Nick Cannon was hospitalized in Apsen over the Holidays after experiencing some mild Kidney Failure. Mariah Carey currently is doing double duty, nursing both her Twins Moroccan and Monroe, plus now her ailing Husband Nick. 

Carey posted the above Photo to her Website, after climbing into bed with her toque-donning Husband.  Originally she was told to leave the Hospital, but she fought valiantly in true Diva form and as always is the case, she wins.  Carey says, "We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.".

To those unclear, Kidney Failure occurs when they are unable to regulate water and electrolyte balances, clear waste products from the Body and also promote red blood cell production.  Kidney Disease commonly is caused by Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and more; normally it is inherited.

Wishing Mr. C. a quick recovery!  Less than ideal conditions to ring-in the New Year.

"Parenthood is absolutely the most life changing experience we ever could have imagined. The love we feel for these babies is above anything we've ever dreamed of", the Couple say in a Note on Dem Babies' Website.

You must check-out their Photos, including one of the Family dressed-up as The Incredibles!  Yes, seriously. Click here.

MARIAH CAREY & NICK CANNON REVEAL TWINS "ROC & ROE" ON "20/20"

Monroe & Morccan Cannon

For those of you who missed Friday night's airing of 20/20, Barbara Walters interviewed Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon on her much-troubled Pregnancy.  For the first time ever, the World also got to see their Twins - Moroccan & Monroe - known also Roc & Roe.

Carey revealed details about a Miscarriage she experienced prior revealing, "It was really tough.  The main thing I did was tough. I went on Progesterone and I had to stay with it for ten weeks. It minimized a chance of Miscarriage by 50%".

Problems didn't end after delivering her Twins though. "I couldn't even go to the loo by myself", Carey admits after delivering them at 35 weeks as it was no longer safe to carry them any longer.  Moroccan & Monroe were delivered on Carey & Cannon's third Wedding Anniversary, with the proud Father cuing Carey's number one hit Fantasy during the delivery.

Carey & Cannon have different ideas for their Twins in terms of career paths.  Cannon would like to see them achieve Ph.D.s.  Carey admits "They are incredible but they really respond to Music", hoping that Music will come first before anything.

LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES DROPS INVESTIGATION AGAINST MARIAH CAREY

Mariah Carey - TIFF 2009

Such cattiness could only be the work of a scorned Lover! Tommy? Eminem?  The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) has dropped their investigation against Mariah Carey endangering her newborn Twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe after having received an anonymous tip that she was consuming Alcohol and Drugs in her Hospital Room after delivering her babies.  Surely those Investigators were eager to look into these claims.  Who wouldn't want some one-on-three time with Carey and her newborn Twins?

Carey during the investigation did admit to the DCFS that she had consumed some Guiness Beer on the advice of a Nurse at the Hospital in question. It is said that a Dark Beer aids in enabling Lactation.

Although Carey has been quiet with the Press, an upset Husband Nick Cannon is quoted as having said "To even have to deal with that, my Wife in the state that she's in, we're in the hospital, to even have to think about someone possibly wanting to investigate your children. It's sad at the end of the day.".

Fan Gift Tweeted by Mariah Carey

It's official.  Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have announced the names of their Twins aka "Dem Babies".  Their Baby Daughter, born first, is named Monroe Cannon - inspired by Carey's love for the iconic Marilyn Monroe.  Carey even owns Monroe's Baby Grand Piano having paid $662,500 US for it in 2006 at an Auction, now sitting in her Tribeca Condominium in New York.

Their Baby Son is named Moroccan Scott Cannon, inspired by Carey's love for Morocco, to which she pays tribute to with Moroccan-inspired furniture in her Home.  Scott happens to be Cannon's middle name also and the maiden name of his Grandmother.

So there you have it.  What do you think of Dem Names?

Although it is becoming a running joke that Carey seemingly has been pregnant forever, Cannon did confirm on a Radio interview with 92.3 NOW that she is expected to deliver any time in the next couple weeks.

Coincidentally, the Couple will be celebrating their fourth Anniversary together on April 30, 2011.  Could it all happen at once?

MARIAH CAREY CONFIRMS SHE'S EXPECTING TWINS

Mariah Carey on ABC Holiday Special

How many of you caught Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to You Special on ABC Monday night?  Phenomenal stuff.  No silliness or theatrics - just her singing tracks off her new Holiday Disc Merry Christmas II You, and it was amazing!

Although there's been much speculation as to whether or not she is carrying Twins, husband Nick Cannon confirmed this morning on his Radio Show on FM 92.3 in New York City that indeed, the rumours are true.  Cannon revealed on-air, "I'm probably gonna get yelled at for not getting permission ... We are having twins!".  Carey's re-hired Publicist Cyndi Berger later confirmed in an official statement that indeed this is true. 

Too amazing!  Congratulations, Mariah.... and Nick!

MARIAH CAREY, QUEEN OF CHRISTMAS

Mariah Carey is the Queen of Christmas and once again her annual classic All I Want for Christmas is You tops the Billboard Holiday Songs Chart. In addition to this, Oh Santa! from her latest Holiday set Merry Christmas II You debuts impressively at number twelve on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart, the highest in her career in that tally. The album after debuting in fourth spot three weeks ago on the Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart, continues to sell v. well after shifting 123,500 in its first week - strong for a Holiday album, but not quite Susan Boyle-strong.

Carey also just launched her Fashion line on the HSN (Home Shopping Network) and you can check out some of the goods here. Of course, what collection of hers would be complete without a Crystal Butterfly Necklace?  Word also is that Carey and husband Nick Cannon are expecting - get this - Twins!  She has yet to confirm this, but keep in mind that she was late also in confirming her Pregnancy until recently.

In the meantime, check out this newly-released Video of Carey and her mother Patricia collaborating in this new take on O Come All Ye Faithful, off of her new disc. The Holidays are here, indeed. 

NICK CANNON ON MARIAH'S PREGNANCY RUMOURS

As per Nick Cannon's Twitter page, this is the official positioning on Mariah Carey's pregnancy rumours.  Motherhood would be amazing for her because: 1) She needs a break from music as her last two efforts have been dismal  2) The Biological Clock is ticking.  There are associated risks with birthing a child after age 40.  3) We've been waiting!

Watch Mariah's just-released video, directed by husband Nick Cannon, for this re-worked version of Angels Cry (feat.

Thanks Josh!
