Wonder if these Dior boots are what's inside Ashlee Simpson's holiday present from earlier in the morning? :)

WHAT do we think about Mariah Carey's Aspen outfit? Here she is with her husband Nick Cannon in matching red outfits getting ready to hit the slopes.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey were photographed leaving the back entrance of CBS studios after making an appearance fo Macy's 'Believe' Campaign and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Mariah surprised a special child live on the show and showered her with presents!! What a wonderful thing to do!

INO readers, what do you think about the loose dress and large coat Mariah is wearing? I'm just saying...

So THAT'S WHY they got married so quickly - they just couldn't wait anymore!!

I kid. I kid.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon wanted to wait until they were husband and wife before sleeping with one another and are so thankful they did.

"It’s not that we had no intimacy. It’s just me, and my feelings. I definitely don’t want to push it on anybody else. But we both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was, and it still is."

I completely applaud this statement! Hopefully it will make the rounds and make people think twice about any expectations they have for themselves.

I'm not sure if Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are planning on staying in London for a long time or not. But I hope it's more than just a weekend, week, month. Check out that luggage!! My word!

I don't even OWN enough to fill all those bags. hahahah

And Nick fans - I have a question for you. Was Nick a suit guy prior to marrying Mariah? Because now it's the only thing he wears. I'm just curious if he always dressed up or if this is a new look for him. Truth be told, I never paid much attention prior to this hook up.

I've been wondering where the old Mariah Carey's been hiding. She's been so reserved since marrying Nick Cannon. I guess she took full advantage of Halloween dressing up in lingerie and a mini completing the look with a fireman's jacket.

Nick must be biting his tongue so hard it's bleeding.

In case you are wearing something equally as skimpy, Mariah has some advice for you on how to properly exit your car. 

"They (photographers) got me one time but at least I had underwear on. I was very thankful for that. "You lead with the leg, place the hand down and then you’re up. Hopefully somebody is standing in front of you (and) then you proceed to walk.

You don’t want to be in an Escalade (SUV) in a teensy skirt - that’s not easy."

What are you dressing up as today? Or if you have children - what did you choose for them?

Mariah Carey stopped by Rachael Ray's morning talk show to chat about her whirlwind romance with hubby Nick Cannon, her rules to live by, and her hidden talent and back up career!  Who knew Mariah went to beauty school? Plus Mariah shares her Halloween plans.

RR: Was it really hard for Nick getting up the courage to ask you out?
MC: He was doing things like always on the who was your celebrity crush and always saying me, and he feels like he has spoke us into existence. He already put in the work on that end, and people would always tell me, and I’d be like ‘Do I believe that? I don’t know if believe that he really said that?’

And then I found out that he said it, and backstage at an award show I said ‘Thanks for all the nice things you have been saying about me!’ and he said he meant every word of it. That was our first introduction, and when we were doing the video it just seemed like we knew each other forever.

RR: Just a simple thing like getting out of a car is a big deal for someone like you. How do you get out of a car successfully?
MC: It’s been really difficult. It’s been one of those things that I needed to learn how to do, but I was always aware of it thank god.

RR: Can you imagine having to be aware of how you get out of a car. It is like the simplest thing.
MC: They got me one time, but thank god I had underwear on! You know it was like I was very thankful for that. But I think what you have to do is you lead with the leg, and then kind of place the hand down, and then you are up. If someone is standing in front of you then you proceed to walk.

RR: So what are our Halloween costume choices?
MC: Well over the years I have been a lot of different costumes. I’ve been a mermaid, they’re all the sexy version. I go that route. Shocking. The mermaid, the nurse, the showgirl, I’ve done all those things. This year Nick and I are going to do the whole thing together…Here are the options: one is a sexy firefighter. Do we like that for me? He can be a regular firefighter guy… then we have an Egyptian…the third one takes a little imagination here.  I would be chocolate chip cookies. The way that is, is it’s just like a two piece little number and its made out of the chocolate chip cookie fabric. But then you have actual cookies sewn on.

RR:  In interesting places? And is he a glass of milk then?
MC: He made this up and he was only kidding, but I liked it. He would be a milk carton with a missing sign over his head.

RR: Believe it or not, Mariah Carey would be a hair dresser and make-up artist.
MC: I went to beauty school, but I dropped out.

Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon looked as happy as can be as they arrived to the Whitney Gala sponsored by Versace last night in NYC. Doesn't Mariah seem so grounded as of late? I feel like something has changed about her. Even Mariah's demeanor seems to have been calmed.

Patrick Dempsey, looking amazing in a tux (as usual), attended the event escorting Donatella Versace. Can you think of Donatella without thinking about SNL mocking her!? It's actually impossible for me to split the two apart.

Last but not least we have Christina Ricci looking fab at the event. Sad to say there really aren't many pictures available of her dress at the moment. I'm officially on the hunt!

Overall, which look do you like the best?

While Nick Cannon was directing Mariah Carey's newest video for I Stay In Love, he literally had to control himself. You see, Mariah had to roll around a bit with a hunky actor and Nick was almost unable to watch. He says he didn't feel threatened, but could have "knocked him out at any point".

"We did it in, like, one take and I had to kick the dude out. It was one of those situations where I wasn’t intimidated but I could’ve knocked him out at any point.

"He was playing, like, a fictional character, but I could have done without it."

But, once the awkward scene was over, Cannon admits he enjoyed directing his wife:

"She’s very east to work with… we had no beef at all."

The song is due to drop October 28th.

I love how Nick Cannon's birthday banner has Mariah Carey's name on it. Is that because they are trying to draw more people wanting to attend? Or is that because Mariah wanted to have some press for herself on his big day?

Mariah hosted a birthday bash for her husband at Pure in Vegas. So many parties are thrown there! What is their deal and how to they get all the celebs to choose their venue? I've never been, so I don' t know what the club is like. 

Anyone care to share?
