Mariah Carey isn't pregnant.

And we didn't need her publicist to issue a denial telling us that. Ms. Mariah used Twitter to set the record straight.

The golden-voiced hitmaker began twittering yesterday about her holiday weekend after paparazzi shots of her from Easter Sunday led to some pregnancy speculation. Reports also claimed she and hubby Nick Cannon visited a fertility clinic on the holy day.

Photographers followed Mariah and Nick to San Diego, where they spent the holiday with Nick's side of the family.

Well, once the photos got over there, the baby-bump buzzing began.

"And if I gained a few pounds," Mariah wrote, "My trainers back living w/me again..yippie."

Mariah also explained she was not trying to spend the holy day in tip-top fashionable form. She said in a tweet, "that dress and hair were not 'red carpet' attire!"

Sounds like Mariah will think twice before trying to accomodate the pesky shutterbugs again. "I don't know what was worse, the bleak angles and bright peach dress just to be festive (we had fun!) Or the b.s. commentary/blogs," Mariah wrote. "It was Easter and were trying to be nice so we just walked out of Nick's aunt's front door despite the paparazzi who had followed us ALL the way to San Diego. I figured why not give them a pic even tho I look a stone mess after a long festive day."
