Tab Labors to Tie Mariah Carey “Partying” to Supposed Pregnancy Woes

For a couple that’s always photographed happy and smiling together, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s biggest marital “frustration” is probably the one they feel toward the tabloids never content to let them be.

Always classy, the National Enquirer has stoked rumors before about Carey and Cannon having pregnancy troubles, and the rag shamelessly stirs the pot again now. The tabs’ “insiders” claim Cannon’s “fed up with her excessive partying and is blaming it for Mariah’s inability to get pregnant, as well as her recent weight gain and bouts of insomnia.” The stress has supposedly left him “struggling to hold their marriage together.”

The Enquirer alleges Carey “got messy” at Cannon’s birthday party in Las Vegas on Oct. 10, and that on another occasion the diva demanded he find a restaurant that would deliver lobster and steak at 2 a.m. When he couldn’t, “Mariah got belligerent and argumentative, but finally fell asleep just as the sun was coming up,” says a source.

As unverifiable, dubious details go, these are certainly vivid. But Gossip Cop prefers facts, and if Cannon is so worried about her “excessive partying” situation, why are he and Carey hosting a Halloween party in New York? Because that we happen to know is true.

A rep for Carey told Gossip Cop the supposed “battle over her boozing” is “not true” and “absolutely absurd.” Once again, it’s the Enquirer that looks to be all wet.
