Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon made their first public appearance since tying the knot, turning up Thursday night in New York. The couple attended Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" gala.

Carey, wearing a silver minidress, sang at the party which was held at New York City's Lincoln Center. Afterwards, according to People.com, she slipped into a strapless black dress accessorized with her 17-carat wedding ring and then headed to hotspot The Waverly Inn. Her new tattoo, which reads "Mrs. Cannon" and is located on the small of her back, was never seen.

Mariah Carey has canceled a concert in Dubai. The newlywed singer was due to perform in Dubai Festival City resort next Thursday but has now pulled out of the show.

She last performed in the Middle East country in 2004, after a rumored concert in 2003 failed to take place.

Mariah Carey has revealed she is already planning children. The singer - who married rapper Nick Cannon last week in the Bahamas following a six-week romance - says children could be on the cards.

She said: "It's part of the whole purpose of getting married. I just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could."

Mariah Carey has confirmed she is married. The 'Touch My Body' singer admits she has never been happier since tying the knot with rapper Nick Cannon on April 30.

Mariah, who met Nick while shooting the video for her new single 'Bye Bye' six weeks ago - told People magazine: "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me!"

With her new album release just a few weeks before Madonna's, what's Mariah Carey got to do to win over the charts? Why, get married of course!

Carey's impromptu marriage to actor/rapper Nick Cannon in the Bahamas caused quite a stir, probably exactly what Mimi needs to steal Madonna's thunder, now that the latter's "Hard Candy" has just knocked out her "E=MC2."

It is official, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are married. So married, in fact, that their wedding picture appears on the cover of this week's People Magazine, putting an end to speculation about whether the couple married or not.

Inside the magazine, Carey and her new husband share the details of their six-week whirlwind romance that ended in a surprise wedding. They also show off their new tattoos, talk about their plan for kids and give details on Nick's candy-themed proposal.
