Mariah Carey is happy to be alive. The Pop diva sat down with “In Touch” magazine recently, and revealed that her personal life “was a mess,” and that she didn’t think she would live this long. Carey says, quote, “So many artists just exist for their careers and then burn out quickly. That was me before I met Nick, and he helped me. I always thought that I wouldn’t be here at this point. I was thinking, ‘Okay, I’ve got another year of my life left. This has got to be the end of it.’” But then, she met Cannon who told her to “stop talking like that.” Mariah says she always had a hang up about artists who died young and even talked about it with Michael Jackson once, although she says she “can’t reveal what he thought” about it.

In happier Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon news, the couple is thinking about starting a family. She says it is, quote, “at the forefront of our minds. We’re very close.” Cannon wants two children but Carey says the couple would be happy with just one because she says they are busy and she wants to be able to manage the right amount of attention for a child. Carey’s latest album, “Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel” is in stores now.

Lauren London gave birth to a baby boy over the weekend! The actress, who was with child by Lil Wayne delivered at Cedar Sanai in Los Angeles, as Lil Wayne stood by her side. Wayne who vowed to always be a good daddy to all of his children told one of Lauren’s family members that he was lost for words after seeing the baby… The name was not released, but one of Lauren’s good friends told me that his name was “Lennox Samuel Ari Carter”… The baby who resembles both parents, will come home later this week,  since Lauren was 2 weeks early, the baby boy weighed in at 7 lbs ad 12 oz., and was 21 inches long. Congrats to Lauren and Wayne. This is Wayne’s third child,  with Nivea’s upcoming delivery, it will be number four.
