Go ahead: call Nick Cannon "Mr. Carey" -- he doesn't mind.
"It doesn't bother me at all," Mariah Carey's husband told UsMagazine.com at Monday's NBC/Bravo Summer Press Day in L.A.
Cannon isn't offended by jokes about being married to the superstar singer -- arguably more famous than he. "I love [the jokes], I welcome it. It's fun...You take it with a grain of salt," he told Us.

The star added that he knew what he was signing up for when he surprisingly wed Carey after a whirlwind romance in spring 2008. "She is, to me, the most famous woman in the world. I knew [my life] was going to change, and I was up for it. Considering everything, I was like, 'hey, it doesn't matter."
As previously reported, Canon, 29, and Carey, 40, will once again renew their wedding vows this weekend (their second wedding anniversary is Friday). "This time it will be more traditional," he told Us. "The last two weddings we had were kind of island-driven and off in remote places. This time we're going to do it home."

The couple plan on throwing a similar shindig each and every year, he says. "I have to do it every single year...if you were married to Mariah Carey, you'd want to marry her every year too! I just have to keep doing it to make sure it's real."
As for the latest baby rumor (debunked by Carey's rep over the weekend), he quipped, "I might just have to hurry up and do it so the rumors can go away...her schedule is starting to calm down, you never know. In the next year or two the rumors might come true."

And despite the "diva" label that follows his wife around, he says she's a happy homemaker. "She is a great cook," he raved. "And she is also a neat freak, so she likes to clean."

If more men had his attitude, I guarantee you that the divorce rate would go down rapidly.".... What? thats what every woman dreams for? A weak and submissive black man slave? If thats the case.. then women owe white males with asian females reparations for saying repeatedly "he just wants asian women because they are weak and submissive". No they arent. They are just dedicated to men's happiness (at least my finacee is) and I guarantee you the divorce rate would go down if every male went eastern (far east, middle east or south east. Far east is a little less hassle with religion). Anyways... if it was the other way around and carey was a 40 year old man and Cannon was a much younger woman... .every woman would say "she just wants him for the money!". The divorce rate would go down if women didnt invent so many double standards and talk out of both sides of their mouths. Looks can be deceiving. I thought my half sister and her first husband were "so in love"...but none of us even knows where he lives these days. Sometimes love is just an act. He didnt want her. He wanted our dads cash so he could start an IceCream shop.
How endearing to be named Mr. Carey. Endearing but true because we have just got used to the 'yes dear's' they might as well just tattoo it on our foreheads, wind us up and let us please you. A happy woman is a happy home and husband. Nice couple, very much silly, Nick is a little over the top; but I guess that is works perfectly for them. They can call me anything they want, just as long as I can HER mine. Nice light story.
they make a lovely couple, and seem so genuine
Clearly is in love with her and is always playing the role of the doting husband. You never hear her gush about him or say she is in love with him. She has money and he is her personal butler. It's a win-win situation for both unless he actually wants someone to love and cater to him.
HEY Us...way to be on top of things with the Bullock adoption! Every other site has it up. Maybe you're busy working on a Jake story...pa..lease!!
That's what every woman hopes for, dreams of... a man who is dedicated to her happiness. If more men had his attitude, I guarantee you that the divorce rate would go down rapidly.
(OFF TOPIC).....Is anyone working today at Us Mag.???? Time to get NEW stories posted today... I just read on PopEater that Sandra Bullock adopted a 3 month boy from Louisiana and was able to keep it secret. They are on the cover of People magazine. Also, where is the update about Jake getting the boot from DWTS?..........Chop Chop - get busy!
This guy needs to grow a pair.
Every woman should be blessed with a man who loves him like that
Here's a man i admire. He doesn't take any offense. I hope Nick&Mariah make it. They doing great so far. Married almost 2 yrs and still very in much love.
Didn't Kim K. used to be with him? I thought they dated in the past.
what a d o u c h e
Good for him!
Next thing you know.. our society will be calling him a 'boy' instead of a man (one of the worst things you can probably call some black guy).. like society did to poor ashton. You are a man and your name is MR CANNON. And if you arent "MR CANNON".. then you are MRS CAREY not MR Carey.
Just because you marry a rich woman doesn't mean you cease being a man. You are MR. Cannon. Dont let our society rob you of your manhood. That wasn't King's vision.
of course he doesn't, it pays his bills.
