Mariah Carey is asking fans to spare a thought and a prayer for her husband Nick Cannon, who has been hospitalized in Aspen.

Carey revealed the news on Twitter this morning, posting an accompanying photo of her hubby in a hospital bed and her showing off her doting bedside manner.

“Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman,” she tweeted before further elaborating on the “serious moment” in a blog post.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon welcomed two twins into their world this year but the public has yet to the see the twins. Moroccan and Monroe will make their first appearance in an exclusive “20/20 interview with Mariah, Nick & #DemBabies for the first time! Airing October 21 at 10:00pm @ ABC (MC.com).”

A day after giving birth to twins, Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon renewed their wedding vows by none of other than the “good Reverend” tweeted.

Rev. Sharpton renewed the couples’ vows while still in a Los Angeles hospital. “I was very moved by Mariah and Nick’s commitment to want their babies prayed over in their first 24-hours of their life and continue their annual tradition of renewing their marriage vows,” Sharpton explained.

Talk about your perfect timing. Mariah Carey gave birth to twins on Saturday morning, which also happened to be her third wedding anniversary. The boy and girl were born at around 9 a.m. Los Angeles time and weighed just over five pounds each, according to Carey’s spokesperson.

The singer, 41, and husband Nick Cannon, 30, were married on April 30, 2008, and spokesperson Cindi Berger said in a statement, “babies were born on their wedding anniversary … not even Mariah could plan that!” Berger said the girl was born first and then the boy, but that their names have not yet been revealed.

Singer/actor Cannon was ecstatic about the birth, tweeting, “my wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life! I won’t ever be able to top this!” He later added, “I’m in the happiest place I’ve ever been in my life. I never had more amazing things happening. I am humbled by God’s favor.”

Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom, according to Berger, who described the singer as calm after going through false labor previously. The dad-to-be, however, was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital and then had to be guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.

“It was like right out of an ‘I Love Lucy’ skit,” said Berger. The couple listened to Carey’s “We Belong Together” after the twins were born and were expected to renew their vows on Sunday.

In December, Nick Cannon shared with the world that he and wife Mariah Carey are expecting twins. Now, comes news that the couple is expecting a boy and a girl.

The ‘We Belong Together’ singer told Life & Style magazine, “Even before we announced it was twins, I was trying to keep everything gender-neutral because I didn’t want to impose an identity on them too soon.”

Carey added, “There were fan contests on Twitter about what gender they are and rumors about them being two boys or two girls — but nobody guessed this!”

Until the twins due date of April is here, the 40 year-old Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter has been cooking up a storm, Cannon, 30, revealed to People magazine.

(PEOPLE.com) — Photos of Mariah Carey in Brazil have generated another round of pregnancy speculation — and another noncommittal response from husband Nick Cannon.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it time and time again — when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her,” Cannon, 29, said on his radio show Monday on New York’s 92.3 FM.

Elaborating on a Twitter message he posted in June, Cannon stresses that the issue is delicate. “We all know it’s extremely personal, and it is for a woman to deal with things with her body, and especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff,” he says.

But he explains that if there ever is news to announce, the couple want to “strategically plan it out properly” to avoid “media hoopla

Don’t let the cuff links fool you!

Nick Cannon may sport tailored suits as the host of “America’s Got Talent,” but the prime-time entertainer isn’t a made-for-TV drone, especially when it comes to defending his wife, Mariah Carey, from Eminem.

In the new issue of In Touch Weekly, Cannon takes a hard-line stance against the Relapse rapper.

Em and MC have been tossing barbs at each other for a couple years now. The words turned more hurtful this year, however, when Carey’s “Obsessed” seemingly mocked Slim Shady, and the rapper responded with “The Warning,” a scathing freestyle threat targeting the singer.

“Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?/ Wow, Mariah, didn’t expect ya to go balls out/ B—-, shut the f— up before I put all those phone calls out/ You made to my house/ When you was wild ‘n’ out/ Before Nick, when you was on my di–,” Eminem rapped on the track.

Don’t let Nick Cannon’s baby face fool you. He’s a grown-behind-man with grown-behind-responsibilities as the chairman of TeenNick (formerly known as Nickelodeon). But he’s not your average fuddy-duddy-white-collar dude, Cannon, who jump-started his career as a comedian, actor, producer and writer, will manage to do close-ups on camera, get busy behind the lens, and do a little Web work. ESSENCE.com caught up with Cannon, who turns 30 next month, to talk prophecy, how he’s preparing for fatherhoood, and why discovering the fountain of youth works for him.

First Eminem wrote a song, “Bagpipes From Baghdad,” directed at Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. Then she seemed to respond to his track with her own, “Obsessed,” although she has denied the song and the video were directed at him.

Now, this week, Eminem has released a scathing dis track, “The Warning,” directed at Carey and her husband, Nick Cannon, during which he alleges and describes what was his one full sexual encounter with Carey, labels her a “liar” and other ugly names, and threatens to reveal personal pictures and phone messages he has of the singer. (Carey has denied ever having a romantic relationship with Eminem, while he has insisted there was one.)

Eminem has a history of blistering disses, but the song raises the question: Has he taken the feud too far? MTV News headed to Times Square to get fans’ opinions on the matter.

“I think Eminem has gone too far on this one,” Cherie Gardner said. “Even if it is true, I think that’s a bit too far.”

Nick Cannon was pretty steamed over Eminem’s brutal lampooning of the singer and his wife, Mariah Carey, in the song “Bagpipes from Baghdad, which appears on Eminem’s new LP, Relapse. Cannon wrote and then quickly took down a long blog post where he accused Eminem of being racially insensitive and “still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn’t let him get to second base from eight years ago”; Eminem later said Cannon had misinterpreted the song.

Entertainment Weekly talked with Cannon on Thursday about the issue.

“I felt like I said what I had to say,” Cannon said. “I didn’t take [the post] down, like, ‘Oh, somebody instructed me to do it’ or anything like that. It was just one of those things, like, I said it.”

As for the real reason he took the post down, Cannon said it had to do with the traffic to his Web site, which “pretty much crashed my site. There’d be thousands and thousands of comments and people couldn’t leave comments on other posts or any of that stuff. So that was the only reason why I took it down.”

And while noted that he doesn’t have any regrets about what he said — “I feel exactly the same way by it and stick by everything, but I think it’s one of those things where it becomes that it’s not really that big of a deal, you know?” — he did say he has no beef with the MC.
