Mariah Carey's Strange Life

Well? What's the Story?

CNN.com has an odd article about Mariah Carey. The headline reads, "Did Mariah Carey get married?"

The singer might have gotten married, but even CNN can't confirm it. I guess nobody bothered to search public records. CNN's story says Carey may or may not have married an actor named Nick Cannon. One of Cannon's relatives says the two got married, but there's no confirmation from either Cannon or Carey.

What kind of way is that to run one's life?

CNN, TMZ and every other entertainment media outlet is running stories about this, and there's no announcement, no response, nothing.

That's weird. That's right up there with Janet Jackson's secret marriage to Rene Elizondo. Who outside of the entertainment industry does such things?

It is so weird. And this kind of stuff doesn't make Cannon or Carey look good. They look like they don't have control over their lives, like they're not grounded enough to deal with life like normal, responsible adults. What a shame. They've put themselves at the center of an embarrassing media circus, because everyone is writing about whether or not they are married.

If Carey is trying to drum up publicity to support her new album E=MC², this is not the way to do it.

If those two knew how odd they appeared, they would clear the air with a press conference. So many celebrities are so out of touch with the world around them.
