UPDATES:

The New York Post has also reported that Mimi and Nick have indeed gotten married. But all is not happily ever after…yet.  Unfortunately for her, the paper is also reporting that Carey didn’t make Cannon sign a prenuptial agreement. Supposedly the sources said “there wasn’t enough time.” In that case, I hope this ‘marriage’ lasts, or else Nick Cannon is going to be REALLY glad he eloped with her, if you catch my drift!

Hollywire just got reports from one of the guys in Nick’s entourage that they are all out in the Bahamas…. The same place where it’s being reported that a wedding between the two has already taken place… So, after speculating about that giant rock Mariah Carey was sporting at the Tribeca Film Festival was an engagement ring, it now seems as if Mariah and Nick have just recently taken it to that next level and gotten married at Carey’s new home in the Bahamas!!!!

This news seems to come at a pivotal time for Carey, during the week her pop chart rival, Madonna, has a new album in stores. Is this a marketing gimmick just to create publicity for Carey? I don’t know but props to Mariah for having great timing!

Word of the wedding comes from Latina.com, where an unnamed source confirms the couple swapped vows on Wednesday in a “very impulsive” small ceremony on an undisclosed island.

The event was reportedly attended by just a few close friends. One of which, was Da Brat, whose Vegas birthday party was one of the sites the newlywed couple was seen canoodling at.

So if this is all true, it would be a second marriage for Mimi (who was previously wed to Tommy Mottola) and a first for Nick (who was engaged to Selita Ebanks last year).

I think I will hold off in sending any wedding gifts until I hear an official confirmation from Carey or Cannon’s reps, because who knows how long this will last.

But congratulations to the newlyweds anyway— even if this is a publicity stunt!
