Mariah Carey Pregnant?

[Smithy]

Mariah Carey has reportedly hinted that she is expecting a baby.

The actress sparked the pregnancy rumours when she seemed unsteady on her feet at the Independent Spirit Awards, the New York Post says.

A source explained: "Mariah came out as a presenter, but she was having trouble in her heels, which were eight inches high and so spiky, she accidentally stabbed herself in one foot before she was helped on stage.

"She seemed to be the only star hanging onto personal security. Outside the press area she seemed really giddy and was overheard saying jokingly, 'I don't know if I can do this'. And she didn't arrive and leave through an elevator like the other stars. She had a BMW limo pull right up to the stage."

Meanwhile, Carey reportedly fuelled the speculation backstage by announcing that she has something "special" coming up.

"I have a lot of new acting projects coming up," she said. "I am talking to [Precious director Lee Daniels] about at least three movies.

"But there's also something else very special on the way. I can't say any more."

i hope she is so she can take a career break! she really needs one to come back strong again.

[Firewire]

i hope she is. that would be great news for her and Nick. and yes she needs a break.

She has always said she'd love a baby and she is getting on so now really would be the perfect time for her to become a mum. Her music sales aren't really up to much at the moment neither so I think a break so she can look after a child would do her the world of good.

She's pushing 40. Now is the perfect time.
