Mariah Carey earned some extra money this weekend by hosting a night at The Bank at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.  Mariah was looking sexy in a strapless black dress that showed off some fantastic curves.  If she pushes up her cleavage anymore she might suffocate.

Moreover, there was nothing like the summer to bring out the bikini selection of the celebrity world. This time Carey as was sporting a barely there number on a yacht off the coast of Italy. Who has the best bikini and bikini body so far this summer?? Mariah is making a charge for the curvy body of the month.If she had worn this as her only outfit during “Glitter” it might have made a few bucks!

The butterfly princess declared in a recent interview fotr Elle magazine that before she met her present husband,Nick Cannon, she had experienced some unhappy moments in her “monotonous” life:

“When I was in an unhappy place in my life … I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but I didn’t have one.”

Aren’t you just sick of these stars who complain about how unhappy tey are and that they wish they were normal persons? I am sure that the blonde diva would have preferred dining out each saturday at McDonalds and cruising around the city in a bus.

She declares that these ten years after the separation from Tommy Mottola, her ex husband , were really lonely: “We really kept the whole relationship aspect of it quiet,” Carey says of their speedy courtship and top-secret nuptials. “We didn’t want to give people a chance to be like, ‘What are you doing? What are you talking about? This is so quick …. Are you sure?’ ”

Ok, and because it’s not enough to be proposed on the rooftop of ypur Manhattan apartment with a 17-carat diamond hidden inside a candy ring pop, the thoughtful husband re-proposed. The second proposal happened  on a helicopter ride.

“They’ve been calling me Cinderella since I first started out,” she says of the fairytale-worthy proposal. “Most people would think, Okay, please! This doesn’t happen in real life.”

And she says she wanted to be kidnapped from her life………..

Rumours about Carey’s wedding are already history. Yes she got maried in the most realistic way. Her official husband now is none other than Nick Cannon. The two lovers were together for a long time and they decided that 2008 will be the lucky year.

So the wedding was the real deal and they answered the question once and for all on April 30. The guys from PEOPLE magazine have obtained exclusive photos from the event. We will be able to see them this Friday when the magazine will be published.

“We really do feel we are soulmates,” Carey tells PEOPLE, following their sunset ceremony at the pop star’s Bahamian estate. “I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me.”

Cannon adds: “She is beautiful on the outside and 10 times as beautiful on the inside.”

Until Friday here is a peak with the cover photo.

At least everybody else loves her. Her latest album E=MC2 is doing very well, following the No. 1 success of her single “Touch My Body.” She sold more albums in her first week than ever before – 462,971 copies.

This month, Carey managed to surpass Elvis Presley with her eighteenth No. 1 single with “Touch My Body.” (The King who last had a No. 1 single with 1969′s “Suspicious Minds)Now only the Beatles, who have 20, stand in her way.

Anyway, someone needs to give her a hand when it comes to style and outfits. The lollipop – butterfly look is so last decade.
