Mariah Carey Graces Elle

Mariah Carey graces the cover of Elle magazine next month. The pop diva shows off her new bikini body, and boy does she look amazing. She looks the best she ever has in all these years, and I am not just talking about her sexy, fit body. Mariah is all smiles, and has that happy twinkle in her eye. I think a large part of that is due to her new husband, Nick Cannon. Nick was also at the shoot, and is in one of the photos with Mariah, where she is sexily standing in front of him as he plays with the sides of her bathing suit. You can feel their chemistry in the picture.

In her interview for Elle, Mariah reveals that the rumors of her $4 million wedding redo are just ridiculous. She says,“It’s difficult, especially when legitimate press is saying, ‘They’re having a $4 million wedding,’ Why? What — did we set a budget?” She waxes sarcastic over the swirling rumors of a more formal and more costly future New York nuptial: “It’s gonna be $4 million! It’s going to be really cool! We’re going to give away gold as people leave! We’re going to sprinkle them with gold! It’s going to be very Coming to America! What do they think? Our whole point [in having the unannounced beach wedding] was to do the opposite!”
