14 DAY TRIAL // Reports of Mariah Carey being pregnant with her first child have started to make the rounds only moths after she married singer Nick Cannon. Now, to add more fuel to the already burning fire, rumor has it that, while yet not pregnant, Mariah is looking for a house that would be ideal for her to start a family in.
The one she has her eye on right now comes with a whopping price tag of $125 million, the GateGrasher reports, citing sources close to the celebrity couple. However, this is not all that the “Butterfly” singer is willing to spend to have her dream pad where she will be able to raise a child, as she’s already shed a small fortune on baby furniture, and is looking to spend even more to get an all-pink nursery like she always wanted to have.
“The pop superstar has prematurely dropped $200K on furniture, including a pink crib and highchair, from a children’s store in San Francisco for the new Hollywood home she intends to buy with hubby Nick Cannon. A source close to the diva reveals she has made an offer on the David Saperstein estate in the exclusive western L.A. neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Her neighbors would be the Beckham brood and Hugh Hefner. The French Chateau-style mansion, which has been on the market for months at the asking price of $125 million, is a minipalace with Italian marble walls, French limestone floors, gold-embossed leather wall coverings, a nine-car garage, ballroom, private running track and movie screening room.” GateCrasher informs.
Sources are saying the place is so “huge” that it can’t even be called a mansion anymore, since it resembles more Buckingham Palace. However, Mariah is reportedly set on buying the estate and starting work on decorating the nursery entirely in pink. Apparently, although she is not pregnant yet, the singer is hoping for a baby girl and, should she not have a child naturally, she will adopt one soon enough, the same insiders reveal.
“She has asked [interior decorator] Kenneth Bordewick to advise on her new home and has requested an all-pink nursery. It’s going to be over the top!” says the spy, adding, “Mariah has tossed around the idea of adopting.” As noted above, this is not the first time that talk about Mariah wanting to start a family or taking active steps into the direction surfaces but, for what it’s worth, it is the first time one unnamed but admittedly reliable source comes up with such accurate details, several celebrity blogs and e-zines are now pointing out.
