Black Eyed Peas star Fergie has removed her name from the potential judges on Simon Cowell's new U.S. TV talent search the X Factor, insisting shewas never considering a permanent role on the show.
Recent reports have suggested Fergie, Mariah Carey and Jessica Simpson were in the mix to join music mogul Antonio 'L.A.' Reid on The X Factor panel; Carey will be a part of the show and Simpson has confirmed she is interested, but Fergie insists she won't be a judge when it launches in America this autumn (Sep11).
She says, "I think that it's a very committed job that you have to put your time into and I don't think I'm gonna have that much time, but I love Simon and I would love to do something like that. "It's right down my alley, but I just don't think I have enough time to give and I would want to give everything to those contestants".
Pregnant singer Mariah Carey and her actor husband Nick Cannon have posed together nude in a series of photos which they plan to put up on the walls of their home.
Carey, 42, is due with twins May 14. But Cannon, 30, confessed he is not so sure it was a wise decision, reports usmagazine.com.
'My children are going to have to see these pictures. It's a little weird,' he remarked.
'It's a little nasty,' the 30-year-old continued. 'I mean, have you ever seen your parents naked?
'When they get older and their friends come over... they will see the pictures and say, "Your daddy's butt naked."'
The pop diva also recently tweeted a picture of herself with a butterfly painted on to her impressively-sized bump.
Mariah Carey recently proved that she could be a prankster too—the crooner left hubby Nick Cannon stunned when she called his radio show and acted like a porn-crazy woman.
The singer introduced herself as Debbie from Long Island during the prank phone call to the New York show Rollin With Nick Cannon on 92.3 NOW FM.
Then she declared that she was a fan of adult films and went on to list their benefits.
"Me and my husband have a very good time when we watch porn and I don''t think it''s bad. I think if it was bad it wouldn''t exist! And I think that everyone should experiment with porn!” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
"I mean Nick, come on, you know you look at porn! Tonight when me and my husband look at porn, I already know it''s gonna be a humdinger!" she added.
Cannon soon caught on and quickly announced, "Ladies and gentleman, this is how hilarious my wife is. This is Mariah Carey calling the station talking about porn!"
Carey joked, "I don''t even know what you''re talking about! All I''m saying is stop talking bad about porn!"
Through his latest song, rapper Eminem is threatening singer-actress Mariah Carey that he will leak her nude snaps if she continues to deny that they ever had a relationship.
Carey had poked fun at Eminem in her video Obsessed in which she said he was "delusional" for hinting they had slept together in his track Bagpipes from Baghdad.
Now he has hit back with lyrics of his song The Warning,
In the song, Eminem raps about Carey and says he has "enough dirt on you to murder you".
"Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?", he adds in the song.
Mariah Carey would feel "violated" if she had children.
The 38-year-old music star wouldn't feel comfortable becoming a mother, and is more than happy looking after her pet dog Jack.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I never wanted to feel violated and I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am. It's definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff.
"It's hard to have kids in this world. I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack's company."
Last year, Mariah revealed she would never consider having a baby if she wasn't married.
The 'Touch My Body' singer said: "If I were to have a child, I would want to be married with a stable family environment. Not to say that's how everyone has to do it but it's the way I want to do things.
"My parents divorced when I was young and I'm not saying it was unstable but it's not ideal either."
Mariah Carey has lost so much weight she is as slim as a teenager.
The 'Touch My Body' singer claims she now has the figure of a svelte 16-year-old following her intensive diet and training regime.
She said: "I got too bulky. Now I'm down to my 11th grade size after lots of hard work with my personal trainer Patricia.
"It feels good, but at the same time it doesn't feel good because I can't eat what I want to eat."
Mariah recently revealed she flies her personal trainer from the Caribbean to New York for training sessions.
Marah carey said: "Patricia lives in St. Barts, poor girl. People say to me, 'Only you would fly someone from St. Barts in the Caribbean to New York to work out.' "
The 37-year-old star is currently using the Morsel Diet, which sees normal meals replaced by low-carbohydrate nibbles.
In 2006, Mariah claimed the diet was her own creation, and had helped her to lose 32lbs in just four months.
She said: "I kind of invented it. Basically you can have a tiny bit of everything you want - but it has to be less than a forkful."
Pop singer Mariah Carey has admitted that she would love to have kids.
In an interview with E! Entertainment Radio, XM and Sirius, the 38 year old singer expressed her desire to have kids.
"Obviously having a kid is a commitment for life," E! News quoted Carey as saying.
"I really would have to be very, very positive that I was in a place where I could completely focus and put everything into the job of being someone's mommy cause it's hard enough to have a puppy," she added.
Mariah Carey has a personal assistant who is solely responsible for her breast tape.
The 'Hero' singer attended the VH1 Save the Music Foundation 10th Anniversary Gala in New York on Thursday night (20.09.07) with an entourage of nine people, including a helper to ensure her ample boobs remain covered up at all times.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "One assistant was in charge of dishing out breast tape, another wore a belt with brushes and hair spray and another one had portable heated rollers. The bathroom was shut down for 10 minutes for Mariah to be primped and preened.
"She also had several massive bodyguards surrounding her all night.
"As she made her way around the party her entourage marched in front, holding back other guests who included John Mayer and Jon Bon Jovi and shouted, 'Get out of the way! Mariah's coming!' "
The 38-year-old singer showed off her new svelte figure in a tight purple gown at the party, which she revealed was down to a diet of bland soups and water aerobics.
Mariah said: "My secret is bleak diets, basically soups and fish prepared really blandly.
"I have a wonderful trainer whose name is Patricia, she lives in St. Barts, poor girl. People say to me, 'Only you would fly someone from St. Barts in the Caribbean to New York to work out.' We do water aerobics mostly.
"I don't feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically. I'm not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It's just not me."
