Don't worry, Mariah has a prenup

Mariah Carey - yes, she's married, it's confirmed, it really happened down there in the Bahamas. She is now Mrs. Nick Cannon. You always thought you'd marry Mariah? Well, you're too late now! More importantly: Miss Mariah and Mr. Cannon have a very nice prenuptial agreement.

Mariah apparently told a mutual pal of ours: "Anyone who thinks we didn't have a prenup is smoking something!" This is not the Mariah Carey of old. She is a smart, smart businesswoman. For example: Post-Tommy Mottola, Carey nabbed $50 million from her short-lived deal with Virgin Records. After "Glitter", they just paid her all that to walk away!

She's had three hit albums since then: "Charmbracelet", "Emancipation of Mimi" and the current "E=MC2". She has her own perfume line, as well. Mariah also has substantial real estate holdings, and let's not forget the publishing royalties. Her name is on every song. This is not Whitney. She has a small fortune, and she's not about to lose it, even in love.

As for the wedding, I know this much: Mariah's cousin, Shawn McDonald, walked her down the aisle. And the Bahamas ceremony will not be the only one. When Mariah and Nick return from their honeymoon, expect a big party and maybe even a second ceremony, something not so secret, for all the singer's New York pals.
