Hollywood celebrity gossip has learned that NICK CANNON has been hospitalized for “mild kidney failure” at a hospital in Aspen, Colorado, where he and wife MARIAH CAREY spent the holidays.

Mariah, who announced the news on her official website, jokes that the roles have been reversed between her and her hubby—Mariah was the one stuck in a hospital bed last year, after giving birth to her and Nick’s beautiful twins, Morroccan and Monroe, and Nick was the one looking after her. Now, it’s the other way around. The superstar diva writes:

Do you want to watch MARIAH CAREY seduce JUSTIN BIEBER in a Christmas music video? Well, here’s certified cougar Mariah (again, Carey, not Yeater) giving camel eyes and stretchy poses that the goggling, gape-mouthed “Baby” singer can’t seem to resist:

The pop diva and the baby mama-beleaguered teen sensation did an “All I Want For Christmas Is You” duet for his number one album, “Under The Mistletoe,” but wouldn’t it only add more fuel to the fire of Justin‘s celebrity scandal to have another older woman, also named Mariah, give him come-hither looks he can’t seem to get enough of?

It seems MARIAH CAREY isn’t above making fun of KIM KARDASHIAN and her 72-day marriage…either she really meant her unkind diss, or the newly-slimmed down diva just had a slip of the tongue.

Mariah showed her new form on the cover of US Weekly this week, but apparently she did her research and read last week’s issue, as well, because Kim Kardashian was part of her repertoire during a press conference at the Four Seasons in New York where Mariah was introduced as the new ambassador for Jenny (Craig)…

MARIAH CAREY gushed about how she lost 70 lbs. of baby weight in seven months when she went on ROSIE O’DONNEL‘s show to display what husband Nick Cannon likes to call her “1990′s body.”

The diva made her first public appearance on a talk show since the birth of her babies riding a crescent moon that was lowered unto the stage, diva-style…it didn’t miss the attention of celebrity gossip websites that she was wearing a skin-tight black mini-skirt and cleavage-baring leather jacket to go with her new post-baby body…

NICK CANNON is all but gushing over his wife’s MARIAH CAREY‘s post-baby body, claiming she now has the figure she used to have in the 1990′s, when Nick was a young boy of 10…

Let’s compare the above photos, for instance. There’s Mariah in the 90′s. And that’s Mariah before her husband knocked her up. Now you understand why he’s so excited?

MARIAH CAREY, whom we haven’t heard from in a while, tweeted her post baby body pics to show us just how far she’s gone in getting back to her pre-baby weight….which wasn’t all that svelte to begin with. But still, here’s Mariah with her dogs, who’ve apparently been giving her the workout of a lifetime. Don’t believe us? Try chasing half a dozen excitable canines in a park and you’ll see what we mean…
