Mariah Carey has reportedly called off her second wedding to new husband Nick Cannon because she can’t get it funded. The ‘Dream Lover’ singer was desperate to have a lavish service for friends and family after tying the knot with rapper Nick in a secret Bahamas ceremony in April.

However, after discovering no magazines were interested in buying exclusive photographs which would have funded the day, Mariah is said to have axed her plans.

A source said: “The small wedding in the Bahamas was nice, but it was not Mariah’s style. The lady loves a spectacle. Mariah was willing to pay for the wedding, but the way she hoped to pay for the wedding was through the sale of photos. No one was interested.”

The 38-year-old singer and her 27-year-old spouse have been enjoying their first few months of marriage by spending their hard-earned cash on each other. Nick, who first met Mariah on the set of the video for her single ‘Touch My Body’, has been surprising the singer with expensive gifts.

A source said: “Nick went to a local Tiffany and Co., where he spent time choosing a gift for Mariah and put it in a regular paper bag so he could surprise her.”

The curvaceous diva that is Mariah Carey is this week’s music mentor to the final seven contestant on American Idol. I wonder if they will be singing Mariah’s songs. And I wonder what the heck David Cook will do. I’m also thinking about whether Mariah will lip synch through her performance on the elimination show like she did on German Idol. If she does, I’m sure she’ll get a very ugly criticism from Simon. In other Idol news, you can now vote for the winner’s single on AmericanIdol.com. There are some pretty great songs there so think about what you want to hear and who you want to hear sing it.
