Nick Cannon Praises 'Hero' Mariah Carey After His Health Ordeal

Just over a week after being hospitalized for "mild kidney failure,” Nick Cannon stepped out for the first time with wife Mariah Carey – and praised her for being his "hero" during the ordeal.

"When times are hard, you guys don't see her at 3 o'clock in the morning, getting up in the middle of the night, fixing me soup when my kidneys ain't acting right. Mariah Carey does that,” Cannon, 31, said onstage before presenting his wife with the Entertainer Award at the 2012 BET Honors taping, held Saturday in Washington, D.C. The show will air Feb. 13 at 9 p.m.

Holding 8-month-old son Moroccan – dressed in a matching mini tux – Cannon gushed over Carey and at times appeared emotional as he reflected on the woman he calls "my angel."

"It is truly, truly a blessing to be here tonight, and I am humbled and in awe of everyone's presence, but mostly my hero right there," he said as Carey, 42, looked on from the front row.

"What most people don't get the opportunity to experience is the true woman; the virtuous person who is my angel."

A teary-eyed Carey soon returned the adoration, thanking God for having her husband and baby by her side.

"To my incredible husband who [has been] out of the hospital two days – look at him all strong and healthy and big and too buff for the tux – it's incredible," she beamed.

On the mend, Cannon even did an impromptu performance: beatboxing for his son.

"This is what makes Roc the most happy," said Carey, dressed in a form-fitting black and nude-colored gown. "And Miss Monroe Cannon's backstage, darling. We were both sewn into our dresses, so she couldn't make it out."

"She's a diva like her mama," quipped Cannon

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon "Closer Than Ever" After Illness

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey really do love each other in sickness and in health!

The America's Got Talent host's father, James Cannon, told Us Weekly Tuesday that Nick's recent hospitalization for mild kidney failure only strengthened his son's relationship with Carey.

"Nick and Mariah have a very strong bond," James said. "If anything, this unexpected illness has made them closer than ever and appreciate one another even more."

"She would stay in the hospital overnight to support him," James, author of The Calling -- How to Discover Your Calling in Three Days, told Us. "Nick and Mariah are really good for one another -- they have so much in common and can make the other one laugh. So they managed to cope even though Nick was pretty sick. But he is glad to be home now and his whole family is pleased about that also."

Although resting up in the hospital was difficult for the active 31-year-old, Nick's father said that "at the same time, he loved being the center of attention too when people visited him."

The great thing about my son is that he always tries to stay upbeat," James gushed. "He took his mind off things by joking with the nurses and doctors and things like that."

As for the couple's 8-month-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe? "They are absolutely beautiful babies," James told Us. "They are both doing great and they are a total mix of their parents. They both share Nick and Mariah's spirit and energy levels. They are beautiful and it is a joy and blessing to see them change and grow constantly."

Fortunately, Nick was released from an L.A. hospital Monday, and according to his dad is "doing well."

"The doctors have ordered him to rest and make some adjustments to his diet too," James added. "It has been an educational process for him, and he is determined to make those changes and stay away from soft drinks and too many sugar-based foods now."

Nick is expected to return to his morning radio show, Rollin' With Nick Cannon, on January 17.

Message from Mariah (in the hospital with Nick)

This is us in the hospital - role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

We're doing OK but we're "straaaaaanded in Aspen". #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK. I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.

Mariah Spotted Shopping In Aspen

Yep, it's cold out there: Mariah Carey swaps open-toe heels for winter boots during shopping trip in Aspen.
She's known for being a bit of a diva.

But an outfit change during a shopping trip is excessive even for her.

So it can only be that Mariah Carey misjudged the freezing weather conditions in Aspen, Colorado, yesterday when she stepped out in open-toe heels and bare legs.

The singer was spotted doing some last minute shopping in Prada ahead of her first Christmas with eight-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan.

She had started the spree with a black winter jacket that flapped open to reveal a bare chest.

But later the 41-year-old had changed into more seasonable winter boots and a floppy hat.

The singer and husband Nick Cannon usually go to Aspen for Christmas but didn't last year due to fears the high altitude may interfere with her pregnancy.
She still went away because she has to be somewhere with snow at Christmas.

"It's got to be snowy," she said at the time.
"I was considering staying in LA because we love it, but it's not the most seasonal of places. I need snow."
Mariah is in great shape after shedding more than 70 lbs since the birth of her children.

The "All I Want For Christmas" singer showed off her curvy body in London earlier this month.

Mariah "Humbled" By Song's Longetivity

You can't go anywhere at the moment without a Christmas song blaring out.

But one being played more than any other is the Mariah Carey smash "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Since it was first released in 1994, the classic track has spent more than 50 weeks in the UK Top 40 and sold millions of copies worldwide.

And that's before you factor in Mariah's new version with Justin Bieber along with Michael Buble's reworking of the hit on his No1 Christmas album.

Luckily she doesn't get sick of the song as she is a massive fan of Christmas- and not just because it signals another huge payday.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Mariah, 41, said: "I start planning my Christmas in June.

"It's absolutely my favourite holiday and I've always loved everything about this time of year. I love cooking and I'm a smash-hit wonder in the kitchen.

"I'm going to be making the turkey, cranberry sauce and all the trimmings this Christmas. I cooked at Thanksgiving and it was a real success with everyone asking for seconds."

Mariah's love of festive anthems, including Bing Crosby's White Christmas, led her to write "All I Want."

And even she is surprised by its lasting appeal.

She said: "I'm amazed and humbled by its popularity, even all these years later. And I think it's great that people have the song as a ringtone.

"Who'd have thought, all those years ago when I wrote it, that it would still be having an impact today?"

This year the song has been kept in our heads- and charts- by the star's duet with teen sensation Justin Bieber who has released a Christmas album of his own this year.

It was a no-brainer for Mariah to work with him as it introduced an army of young Beliebers to her famous Crimbo track.

She said: "Justin's definitely a young phenomenon- fun, cute and very talented. That's why I wanted to work with him."

But it's not just pop stars who have added to the song's popularity this year.

Earlier this month sailors on the HMS Ocean warship uploaded a video of themselves miming to the track to celebrate their return home after serving seven-and-a-half months in Libya. The ship initially set off on a seven-week training exercise before being diverted to support the UN air mission during the uprising against Colonel Gaddafi. The now-famous sailors returned home last week.

Their video went viral on YouTube scoring the heroes over 2.5 million views.

Even an impressed Mariah is a fan of the clip.

She tweeted: "This is the best thing I've ever seen, you guys just made my day!"

She told us: "I love their take on it. I think it's the cutest thing ever. Very good lip-synching too.

"If I'd had more time, I would have liked to have gone down to Plymouth to meet the singing sailors and their families.

"Sadly, my trip to London is so short, I just don't have time. But I'm very glad that they've all made it home for Christmas." Mum-of-two Mariah, who has sold more than 200million records in the last 20 years, will spend the festive period with friends and family in snowy Aspen, Colorado.

Mariah, who has been married to TV presenter Nick Cannon, 31, for three years, said: "Luckily Nick is almost as over-the-top festive as me. One year we hired Santa Claus to come round with real reindeer who looked as if they were going to fly off into the snow at any moment. Everyone loved it."

This year the couple will spend their first Christmas with their eight-month-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Monroe is named after superstar Marilyn and her brother's name comes from the Moroccan Room in Mariah's apartment where Nick proposed to her.

The children feature in the video for her new single When Christmas Comes, which is a duet with John Legend. She said: "I actually wrote that song when I was pregnant. There's a line in it that says, 'We can laugh together as the children play'. So it was special having the twins with me for the recording of the video."

During her pregnancy Mariah regularly posted pictures of her huge baby bump online and kept her fans updated about "dem babies" as she refers to them.

She explained: "I had a tough pregnancy. Because I was carrying twins, I was super-heavy and I think my bones just weren't used to holding up that much weight.

"I don't think I understood the enormity or the magnitude of what being pregnant does to your body. By the end I could hardly walk.

"But I don't want to dwell on that really, or sound as if I'm complaining, because I know I'm very blessed. I'm loving motherhood. It's a beautiful place to be and they're very good kids." Mariah credits her own mother, Patricia, for getting her interested in singing when she was a toddler.

The pair sang a duet last year, "O Come All Ye Faithful/Hallelujah Chorus," which was released last year on Mariah's second festive album, Merry Christmas II You.

And she hopes she can pass a love of singing on to her kids, too.

She said: "I started singing at home with my mom when I was four. I've always talked about her influence on me for my whole life. And with our duet, I felt as if we had come full circle.

"I certainly can imagine singing with the children round the tree when they're older because they really respond to music and love me to sing to them.

"And I do feel that musical ability is something that's handed down. We shall see."

Mariah has quickly shed her baby weight and credits the Jenny Craig Diet Plan- a company which ships special healthy ready meals to you- for helping her to slim down.

She said: "I had a lot of weight to lose because I'd retained so much water. Someone recommended the "Jenny" programme to me and it was exactly what I was looking for.

"It's quick but also very nutritious. I also did gentle aqua exercise as often as I could."

Mariah was so impressed with the "Jenny diet" she has become its US ambassador.

She said: "I wanted to help create awareness about healthy eating and losing weight. My pregnancy and weight gain made me realise what some women grapple with all their lives. At one point I thought I would never see my bone structure again."

Mariah was in London to pick up a Noble Gift Humanitarian Award for her charity work.

The singer said: "Several years ago I co-founded Camp Mariah, which is part of the Fresh Air Fund. This enables inner-city kids to look at their educational and career opportunities while enjoying camping adventures outside of the city.

"I'm planning on going camping with the kids again next summer."

Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber Set “X Factor” Date

Mariah Carey and little Justin Bieber are set to perform on “X Factor.” Their December 15th performance will be of their new duet on Mariah’s classic hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Carey wrote the song and released it 17 years ago, in November 1994. (Wait! November 1994 was seventeen years ago? OMG.) Since then, “All I Want” has become a Christmas perennial. This year she re-recorded it with Justin Bieber, who sings back up in his new low register. He isn’t Perry Como or even Steven Tyler, but the keeps up with Miss 8 Octaves and doesn’t do too badly. Carey has said she will make a number of appearances on “X Factor” this season, largely because it’s controlled by her record company, Universal Music. Also, her former and future label chief, L.A. Reid, a is a judge. This is complicated because her unofficial manager and music director Randy Jackson is a judge and mainstay of “American Idol.” At any rate, set your DVRs to see the newly slimmed down Mariah sex up Justin on live TV. Let’s hope there’s no wardrobe malfunction…
