Mariah Carey was asked about the rumour that she is pregnant with hubby Nick Cannon’s baby when she guested on the Ellen Degeneres show today.

Very quickly into the sit down interview Ellen said point blank :“People are saying that you’re pregnant.”

Mariah responded by saying, “No, that’s ok.”

Bringing out a bottle of champagne, she offered Mariah a glass and she quickly refused. Ellen, still trying to get to the truth, then tried pouring Mariah a glass of champagne suggesting they could have a toast to celebrate her not being pregnant.

“Oh my goodness,” Carey replied. “I can’t believe her. Why would we toast to that? How about to the future?”

Mariah then pretended to drink the champagne, (not fooling anyone, least of all Ellen) and said it was “too early” for her to drink.

“I only drink after 3 p.m.,” she said.

If she is pregnant and in the early stages, it’s understandable that they may want to keep that information amongst themselves. It’ll become obvious fairly soon if she is. The paps will be on baby bump watch and if there is any sign of a growing belly, they’ll get a photo ASAP.
