Mariah Carey Blames Nick Cannon For Weight Gain

June 29th, 2009 // 58 Comments

Singer Mariah Carey has made no secret of the fact that has to work hard if she wants to stay trim. Whenever she has an album to promote, she seems to slim down on command.

But being in love with husband Nick Cannon has given Mimi an extra hearty appetite for love…and her favorite foods. “I love to eat. I never knew I could be this happy–it’s pure bliss.”

The pop star added, “I’m a curvy girl and switch around with my diets all the time. I love to eat.” But it won’t last forever, an inside source claims, “[Mariah will] definitely tone up again when she releases her album, but as of now, she’s stuffing her face.”

Interestingly enough, no matter what weight she’s been, Mariah’s always wearing the same size clothes. She’s a conundrum, that one.

    Looks like she’s got a few extra lady waffles these days.

  2. WilDGuy

    You can tell Mariah is packing on the pounds, one of her hips is starting to look a little dogged.

  3. satan

    Yeah she’s a curvy girl NOW but that’s not how she was the 1st 6 or 7 years of her career. Then came the weight gain, boob job & Photoshop

  4. Mandy

    She looks great. She doesn’t need to slim down.

  5. Martiniman

    She looks fab and is happy…let her be!

  6. Zach

    Mariah is a beautiful woman and I think she looks perfect. No wonder there’s so much anorexia and bulemia in this world due to so many disorted views. I see no excess weight whatsoever so I hope she doesn’t take to heart what people are plastering on/in the magazines.

  7. Michele

    I personally think she looks the best she has ever looked. So what is she gained a few, she’s looks healthy and happy – she looks fabulous. Those women whom stay so thin tend to have more health problems & they’re not happy! I know – until 2 years ago I was one of them!

  8. E M. Lashley

    I am soooo happy for you Mariah! God bless your marriage.

  9. Wave

    She is still fine though. There is nothing wrong with some weight on those hips and thighs and butt.

  10. Mr. Mark

    Wow She’s Nasty !!!! Little gritty on the side , with all those curves.. I wonder if she is using bacon grease , Or that Lotion from the Dollar store?? Come on Now your better than that !!!

  11. Aduh

    She is also in her 40s.Weight gain is not a sign of happiness in a relationship it’s a sign usually something is wrong!!

  12. Frank

    Mariah you look great! be bless.

  13. Mary

    Will someone please show me where she looks fat?

  14. Erica

    I think she looks great!! FInally she seems to be completely happy with life and with her relationship. We should all be that lucky!

  15. Mary

    I would love to look that “fat”. I don’t see it at all. She looks fab!

  16. Melyssa Sibilla

    I can’t believe ppl would actually say that this girl is gaining weight, sure she’s not the size 3 she was when her career first started but who the hell is? I personally think she looks great. The guy a few posts above is so right…this is exactly why so many women have eating disorders and emotional problems, because of a society that thinks if you’re not a dope head or that if you have T&A…you’re fat. Apparently it is more socially acceptable to have your bones sticking out and look like you can slide through a friggin drain pipe than to have a little cleavage and a nice butt!!!

  17. stacie

    she is not fat so i think weight gain in her case was a good thing i wonder why people think some one fat if they cant see there bones jutting out of there skin. I would rather be fat then a skeleton!!!

  18. priscilla

    Mariah is gorgeous, curvy or not. I’m glad she is happy.

  19. anon

    she probably isn’t fat at all. she just looks fat b/c she insists on wearing clothes that don’t fit her properly. if she did, she would be fine.

  20. laysha

    “MARIAH really what weight gain she look’s the same to me just seem’s so happy and I am glad she is Nick is doing something right I, have never seen her glow this much with a guy Tommy Matola she never seemed happy at all she can gain more weight and still look good what’s wrong with eating keep it up Mariah the only thing she need’s to really do is stop dressing like a slut there comes a time in age where the minis and low cut shirts and tight jeans need to go she can dress more classy instead of like she’s walking Hollywood Blvd other than that she is and always is Beautiful as a Butterfly she needs to add more weight because she always seemed to skinny to me she’s very sexy and a good actress…

  21. Jean

    Like others said, someone pleeeaaaase tell me where the fat is on this woman. She still looks like a TONED size 4 or 6 to me…how could anyone consider that fat? She looks really healthy. Being skeletal is usually NOT healthy.

  22. Melissa

    She cannot blame anyone but herself if she has gained…NOBODY can make her be fat…! gee what a loony head.

  23. jd

    I feel sorry for that poor dog. Little jack russell terriers DO NOT like to be carried around all the time and she always is carrying that poor dog. All that racket is probably stressing the poor dog out. Do the dog a favor and don’t parade it around like a friggen toy.

    Jack Russell Lover who knows their personality.

  24. fdgfd

    u dnt look fat

  25. your mama

    She blames her hubby for being fat? Cool, then I am too. It’s all that miserable bastard’s fault…………
    She never seems to wear clothes that fit her well and that probably just adds to the problem. She needs to learn to “leave something to the imagination”

  26. iphonerulez

    How can she blame her husband just because she likes to stuff her face. She’s always had somewhat of a problem keeping off the pounds and a few times she was losing the battle. I’m not saying she’s a fat cow or anything, but she’s long lost that girlish figure. It probably doesn’t even matter since she’s putting the years behind her.

    I’m sure there are still plenty of guys that would want to jump on her, but guys will jump on anything that’s horizontal if they stay still long enough.

    If I could have my choice of solid womanhood I’ll take Rosario Dawson any day of the week. Now that female is a hottie.

    Lately, to me anyway, Mariah looks a little chubbier, not fat just chubby. She must understand that as she ages & gets nearer to menopause she’ll pack on a few pounds…I recommend a high protein , low carb diet, aka the Atkins Diet for a quick weight loss, then a maintenance of complex carbs , fruits, veggies, poultry, beans, nuts, eggs, some fish (high in omega 3 fatty acids i.e. salmon, sardines, tuna ) eat sensibly & stay away, far away from white flour & sugar.

  28. paula

    thank god for having another day to enjoy something to eat, and being beautiful and talented. good for her…. she deserves it. she brings us beauty and music. she is so special. she sounds healthy in her outlook on food!

  29. Sterling

    I think she looks good with the xtra pounds. She still needs to drop that loser Nick Cannon though.

  30. Ron

    I’ve seen her weight go up and down over the years…She always looks smokin’ hot to me.

  31. shemara

    She is beautiful. The weight looks good on her. Better than she has looked in a long time. Keep it up girl. Nick is good for her.

    I’m thrilled, really, that we as a society are so drained of expanded thinking that we let the tabloids and pop culture define what we consider “beautiful” instead of formulating our own opinions on the matter. Why speak up when you can just let general society do it for you? Please. This woman is absolutely beautiful. She has more talent in her middle finger than half the cheap, bony, underfed wanna-be pop singers Hollywood has churned out over the past ten years have in their entire being.

    And personally, I think she can do better than Nick Cannon. What a tool.

  35. Dee

    okay, when she ‘blamed’ her hubby for her weight gain, I’m thinking she meant the fact that she’s so happy with him, that he accepts her for who she is, so she’s free to just be Mariah.. I say the same thing about mine!! all these ‘stars’ out there starving themselves to fit someone else’s ideal of what they should look like; I’m glad she found a GOOD man that loves her for herself!

    people are always so willing to jump to the negative, it’s not even funny anymore! and for the record, I think she looks great! I’m so happy for her that she finally found the one that lets her be her true self, and she can be happy with!

  36. big ang from queens

    Mariah is blaming her husband for her weight gain?Then I think she ought to buy him another ferrari or lamborghini for doing such a good job,because mariah looks smoking hot and the thick thighs look great on her!!!Mariah youre smokinggggggggg hot..God Bless You!!!!

  37. hjaddioh

    ya know mc looks so much happier at this stage in her life … who cares if sheis lookin a little thicker… as long as the man in her life thinks that she is smokin hot… who cares what anyone else thinks…

  38. KEKE

    I AM HAPPY 2 SEE DAT “MARIAH” IZ HAPPY & LOOKIN’ GOOD & FEELIN’ GOOD HERSELF & NICK SOUNDS LIKE A GR8 HUBBY…I CAN’T WAIT 2 THEY MAKE BEAUTIFUL BABIES!!! LOL….

  39. Jade

    That girl will always and forever be the FINEST CHICK EVER!!!!!! No matta if she’s 300 lbs….she can pull it off. Hell of sex appeal, every guy wants her and every grl wants ta be her…Just too envious to amdit it. Yessir, stay fly!

  40. Marcus

    I always thought she was kind of goofy looking. Most of the photos I’ve seen of her, she’s a chunky butt.

  41. Trina Monak

    All, Miriah is a beautifull person and has one of the best Diva voices ever. She has the best singing voice of all times. No one can hit her notes like she does. I’m not sure of your thoughts, but when her career first started her notes were higher, but now they are more carried out. Miriah is still the best of all time. Her and Aretha Franklin could produce the album of all time. Miriah god bless you. I have been your fan since the beginning. Stay focused adn be happy!

  42. ran rundel

    How many times did she eat him?

  43. DJ

    Wow…Mariah is absolutely beautiful and I have to agree with those that say what fat? Over the years, Mariah has been one of the most beautiful women in the world bar none! She is clearly tone and looks great! Don’t stop doing what you are doing because in my book, you set the standard and having been in the business as long as you have, you get better with age. I still remember when she and Whitney were compared. Look what crack did for Whitney and look what love has done for Mariah. You are gorgeous!!!!

    so what if she gains weight.. she should just be happy. it’s not like she is really big. as a woman gets older its harder to lose weight and does it really matter anyway. losing weight and gaining weight is not healthly and will catch up with you when you get older and can cause health problems. people need to just be happy, she looks healthly and happy and shes not overweight, but she might think about getting a smaller breast size, why can’t people be happy with what they have. its really sad that celebs think they have to have a boob job to make them look good.

  46. Abbie

    How can people say she’s fat??? In my mind, if this man Nick Cannon makes her happy for who she is, she should stay with him! :) She’s the most successful female artist probably in the world who sold more than ELVIS PRESLEY THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL so let her be! :/ Go Mariah! :)

  47. Robdogincali

    People, the woman is FINE and always has been. “Bone for the dog, meat for the man!” And for you women hating on her wardrobe, all of you know damned well if you could wear that stuff, you would!

  48. fiercerMC

    She is beautiful no matter what size she’s in…

  49. Dawn Lee

    Wow all the comments, yes she is beautiful with all the makeup but have any of you seen her in her new upcoming movie all natural? Wow you are in for a big surprise I was.

  50. Ash

    Of course she always wears the same size. Have you seen the way she stuffs herself into her tiny dresses when she’s put on a few pounds?
