Marry Carey
How desperate is Mariah Carey to get hitched again? Desperate enough for the divorced songbird to dress up as a bride twice in the same week. "Mariah Carey has everything a girl could want - except a husband," says a music industry insider. "She's so anxious to be a bride and walk down the aisle again that people are teasing her that her favorite designer is anyone who creates wedding gowns. I think she even has a few gowns in mind - the only thing she's missing is a groom."
Mariah, 34, who hasn't had a serious relationship in more than three years, caused a commotion when she showed up at a Halloween party in New York carrying a bridal bouquet and wearing a saucy, lacy white wedding outfit similar to the one Madonna wore in her Like A Virgin video, complete with a long veil, quarter belt and satin gloves. Days later, she donned a stunning Vera Wang tulle gown with full train and plunging neckline at a birthday bash thrown for her pal Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.
Mariah told her pals she wore them because she never felt sexy at her 1993 wedding to music mogul Tommy Mottola, which ended in a heartbreaking divorce less than five years later. Since then, she's had trouble meeting Mr. Right, failing to make it permanent with baseball hunk Derek Jeter and singer Luis Miguel. Now she wants a guy with a good sense of humor but preferably nobody famous. "With another celebrity, there are egos," she says. "It's like, 'Which fan came up to me and asked for an autograph and didn't ask you?' Everybody wants to be a big power couple in Hollywood, but who really cares?" (Globe Magazine)
