Mariah Carey: A Sloppy-Seconds Engagement?

Is this any way to treat a diva?
Speculation is mounting that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are preparing to tie the knot—with Access Hollywood going so far as to say a source close to the "Touch My Body" songbird has confirmed it.
But before you wish 'em the best, just know that Nick's rep gave us a "No comment" response when asked about the potentially happy news.
Maybe someone will comment over gossip that the huge diamond ring Mimi is sporting is actually—ready for this?—the same rock Nick gave to his former fiancée, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks.
Selita did give Nick back her engagement ring, the model's rep confirms to E! News but doesn't say whether or not that is indeed the ring Mariah is wearing.
Gee, nothing says romance like a symbol of your future with the scent of your man's last failed relationship all over it.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MARIAH AND NICK! NICK CANNON DID THE RIGHT THING, HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND RING, DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO BUY ANOTHER DIAMOND RING JUST BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO MARRY 'MARIAH CAREY?' MARIAH CAREY CAN BUY ALL THE DIAMOND RINGS SHE WANTS, SHE CAN WELL AFFORD IT, BUT FOR A UPCOMING ACTOR, LIKE NICK...IT IS DIFFICULT TO COMPETE WITH HER. NICK, CONGRATS!

Call me crazy....but a $2MM diamond is not something you put in a drawer and then buy a new one. Maybe I just have life experience, but so long as it was discussed, I would not mind, SO LONG AS it was in a brand new setting for ME. The same "ring" would not be acceptable. It's like sex.....you can wash it off. haha. And I'm sure they have both had sex with other people. It's just a shame that it has to be REPORTED to make him look like a slacker. But I don't don't of any slackers who would give a $2.5MM diamond to anyone. Do you?

IT IS the same ring! check the link below. http://youngprofessionalandbored.blogspot.com/2007/10/nick-cannon-selita-ebanks-split-up.html but i do agree it is a beautiful/expensive thing to waste, if mimi was fine with it than who cares. even though it is supposedly bad luck to use a ring from a failed relationship. you never know maybe he added something different to it to make it special for her.

You have to be kidding me the same dam ring how lame can he be....How ghetto can he be who the **** uses the same ring twice when they have so much money it wouldn't have hurt him to go out and buy her a new one. Come on its Mimi we are talking about she deserves way more than sloppy seconds. I would have said **** no buy me a NEW ring first!!!!

Wow, someone mention one rumor and you folks run to the bank with it. They did not say it was the same ring. They simple asked the question and now some of you are acting like its the sworn gospel that it is the same ring. Why is it that folks on line who are doing nothing with their lives swear they are so much smarter then folks who out there making moolah? LOL. Celebrities are no smarter nor anymore sane then regular folks. If you can think of it so can they, and I'm sure if they come take a peak into your lives they'll find alot wrong. How about starting with the man or woman in the mirror?

People are so gullable, they believe anything that is negative about someone and it is usually untrue. If they go back to the beginning of this page and read what it said there, Nick had another ring made and he just pick it up last week. They said that they rings were a little similiar, but this ring was custom made for Mariah.

I do not know why so many people are acting as if they do not know Nick Cannon, particularly the fact that he is nearly a Billionaire. Nick Kannon has produced numerous movies, television shows, and music over last decade. He is hardly hurting for money. He could afford to buy thousands of those rings for the record.

It is very similar to his past gf's ring. Mariah's has pink diamonds in it and the other was colorless.

I'm very happy for Mariah and Nick. I think she looks really happy.

I don't think this is true. People had asked her about marriage and having family a few weeks back and she said she's not thinking about marriage yet and she needed a man who will take care of her emotionally and respect her as a person. Nick isn't that guy no matter how you view it. I don't hate him but I believe that this is just a rumor to sway people away from thinking about her "true love" which is Mark Sudack coz people are already asking her about Mark too much and she wanted her love life to be more private. She's been spotted with Mark too many times and all of a sudden she's engaged with another man, let alone got married instantly with no pre-nup agreement? She's no dumb. She had a nasty marriage and divorce. And still scared to be married again. Does anyone remember about the rumors she was dating this and that guy before as soon as her album comes out? But none of them is true. Common this is just for a publicity stunt for her next video. This is not true.
