This is the second time down the aisle for Mariah.

Mariah Carey and rapper Nick Cannon have tied the knot in a "very impulsive" ceremony in the Bahamas, it was reported Thursday.

The Long Island songstress said "I do" in front of a handful of friends, including longtime pal and rapper Da Brat, Latina magazine reported.

It was only days after she was seen at a Tribeca Film Festival after-party with Cannon on her arm - and a huge jewel-encrusted diamond ring on her finger. Sources close to Carey confirmed then that the pair were engaged, the TV show "Access Hollywood" said.

The couple met in March, when Cannon directed the video for Carey's new single, "Bye Bye," and started a romance that a source told Us Weekly was "hot and heavy." A month later, they were seen sharing a romantic night out in Las Vegas.

Carey, 38, left New York's Tenjune nightclub on Saturday with Cannon, 27, and the massive diamond - which bears a striking resemblance to one Cannon gave then-fiancée and Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks last year.

They'd been partying at an after-party for the Tribeca Film Festival's screening of "Tennessee," in which she stars. The ring has a huge, rectangular-cut clear diamond, surrounded by smaller jewels on an encrusted band.

Ebanks told Us Weekly, "I have no comment but wish them well." Cannon told MTV News this week, "[Carey is] probably the most festive, remarkable person I've ever met."

It's the second marriage for Carey, who divorced record executive Tommy Mottola in 1998 after five years.

Cannon ditched Ebanks last year.

Reps for the couple could not be reached Thursday.

Shakira magic moment

Her 2005 album could've been called Aural Fixation, because Shakira's unique version of sexy, heartfelt Latin pop has turned her into a mass-market obsession. The hip-shaking singer released her first Spanish-language album as a teenager, and by the late '90s, her albums – and a role on the soap opera El Oasis – had made Shakira a huge star throughout Latin America and Spain.

To conquer America, she headlined MTV's Unplugged, and the recording of her acoustic performance won a Latin Grammy in 2000. Shakira began taking English lessons, and the following year, her English-language debut, Laundry Service, entered the charts at No. 3.

However, Shakira considers her work battling childhood poverty just as important as her music career. The other love in her life, fiancé Antonio de la Rua, is the son of Argentina's controversial former president

Her love don't cost a thing, but apparently Jennifer Lopez is still trying to figure out exactly what it is she's giving away for free.

After a yearlong hiatus from pretty much everything to focus on her twins, Max and Emme, the multihyphenated star is looking to dominate the music scene once again with the new tune "What Is Love."

Upbeat and catchy, the track is vintage J.Lo. In other words, you can dance to it—and, with all those na na nas running throughout, it's the kind of tune that will be stuck in your head for days.



The song's Internet surfacing comes just days after Lopez debuted a ballad she wrote for her kids at a benefit for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles over the weekend.

Talented and charitable. Welcome back indeed.

But that's just us. Are you loving "What Is Love," or should Jenny simply go back to the block?
